You now also remember that there is a machine in heaven that can turn a man into a woman or a woman into a man and since it's magic in heaven it's a full transformation without surgery and even your DNA is fixed so it's totally acceptable and not some body horror hospital story involving skin grafts and drugs.
>>741895096I have seen a hentai with that premise btw
>>741895096what the fuck is this tranny nonsense?
>>741895096Is there a machine in heaven to increase penis size?
>>741894969>Thousand Cuts!
/v/ cannot go a single post without thinking about trans 24/7
>>741895690
>>741894969i heard this game has an amazing story but i didn't like the gameplay
>>741895734thinking about trans people nonstop for 4+ years is a sign of mental illness
>>741895661For me, it's White Demon.
>>741895096Can you imagine being Black Whirlwind and being turned into a girl by Kang??? I’d be really embarrassed!I wish JE had gotten a sequel or prequel. The ending definitely left things ambiguous for further adventures.
The best part is that post is actually talking about an in-game machine in an area, more or less, called Paradise or Heaven. There are in-game lore scrolls about it, its creator, and even other combinations that you can use with different results.
>>741895096Video games?
>>741895764My thread unfortunately got freak bombed by some nonsense but I would encourage you to try it out for the story if you ever have the time. More specifically the villain is one of the most interesting I've seen in games.
>>741894969Sad that we will never get a sequel thanks to the chinese...
>>741895915>trained wrong as a joke
>>741895960Think of the bright side. We wouldn’t have ever had a Jade Empire if it weren’t for the Chinese.
>>741895096Are they trying to add even more fairy tale nonsense to the bible in order to get trannies to go to church?
>>741895764The gameplay is alright. It’s pretty simple though, just dump points into your main martial style, your main weapon style, and then Jade Golem style once you unlock it. A lot of animations are shared so you things like different weapons don’t feel that special.
>>741896006It wasn't a comedy. It was a tragedy.
>>741895789>peopleLook at the first post. People shit on troons because you can't leave actual humans alone. Can't even discuss an old Bioware game because of you faggot niggers. Go the fuck outside.
Do you remember him?
>>741894969this must be what Xbox wanted from those studios they bought, more of this.Then they made nothing but garbage.
>>741894969Never played it, was it any good? just openworld slop?
>>741894969Yeah and I remember it being shitty. I'm a fan of wuxia and this was trash
>>741896560loved him
>>741896713It's not really open world, closer to KOTOR structure. It had potential and is of course better than any modern Bioware slop. Worth playing at least once.
>>741896713Its a short Bioware action RPG
>>741896713the game isn't open world.
>>741896560Sir Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom the Magnificent Bastard
>>741896713It’s not open world. It’s actually pretty linear series of towns you visit like a jrpg. It’s a fun little game though. I definitely feel nostalgic for the character animations before mocapslop had everyone bobbing and waving like they were drunk.
>>741896560They should've been more even-handed with him IMO, felt too much like a caricature so they could preach about how non-racist they are.
Is Where Winds Meet good?
>>741898720Yeah it's goodOutfits are gacha though
>>741896560Based he was a good character
>>741895960What why? Did they ban a sequel or something? Games setting was genuinely cool
>>741895808Yea you’re right actually
>>741894969I have this on my phone and over a 6 hour plane ride, I tried to get into it 4 different times but I kept falling asleep because the intro is just so fucking boring.
>>741894969honestly gave me yellow fever as a kid
>>741897097I used to think that's what open world was
>>741895096wuxia things
>>741904527
>>741906303Why are they squashing their faces against invisible panes of glass?
>>741894969I think EA gave it away for free and I still did not play it.
>>741894969This is the canon romance by the way
>>741906303Radiant Jen Zi was the best girl
>>741894969The last time BioWare gave a fuck.
>>741908123If you liked the Bioware formula it was pretty good.
>>741906303Aren't they both your half sister/stepcousin?
>>741910852you're an orphanthey're cousins
>>741910852I don't think they're related to you but it's been a while since I played, I thought it was a pretty big plot point that you were the last of your kind, Dawn Star is technically your sister I guess because you were raised by the same master
I miss staying home from school and playing this.
The last 3rd of the game feels kinda rushed.
>>741911409Everything after the city is pretty shit and almost completely linear, most characters get like one extra story beat and that's it, I don't think there's even any more shops which is probably why they invented that genie guy who shows up once
>>741911572I liked the Black Leopard school side quest.
>lightning dragon style>viperit's instant killing time
>>741894969I really wish we got more oriental settings, that is eastern mythology through a western lens. everything just panders to china now with muh three kingdoms muh monkey king. I want all the whacky shit out of marco polo's journey
Why didn't we get a sequel?
Why is heaven full of naked anthro female foxes?
>>741912416hmofa is righteous
>>741911409There really needed to be one last hub between Dirge and the second attack on the capitol. Maybe you're hiding out in a rebel camp or something and get to see firsthand how Sun Li is changing things.
>>741912293There was one in the works but it got cancelled. Apparently it would have leaned more into the steampunk stuff.
Ugh... I miss old bioware. So replayable, so much fun. The quests, the places you could visit, the plot, the romance! I still remember that music playing in my head whenever talking to Dawnstar.
>>741912801Yeah it needed one more town/village.
>>741910025Why are they shirtless???
>>741896560>Lost to him the first time>Cutscene plays where he asks that one guy to fetch him a towel to wipe away your blood>Brags about how easily he beat you>The last thing I hear is him calling me a filthy savagemfw
>>741908798Fake as fuck, that guy didn't even get a side quest. He has like one special line outside his intro and that's it.
>>741894969For me, it's the guy who dual wielded cleavers
>>741896560I had his gun but never remembered to use it.
>>741894969is it hard to play this on a modern system? i loved it as a kid
>>741913465>That one story of him cleaving a girl in two because two clans were having issues deciding who she should marry>So he cut her in two>They got mad at him for some reason>But he couldn't make sense out of him>He cleaved her in two equal sizes after allThey should settle alimony this way nowadays in my opinion. Husband gets the lower part.
>>741913601>Solomon if he actually went through with cutting a baby in two
>>741913601I like the exploding rats story myself.

>>741910025I am eternally pissed to this day that the queen fox bitch did not join our fucking party
>>741894969The funniest thing is you can gaslight your goody two-shoes childhood friend into turning evil for you and then 180 her at the very end and say you don't recognize her and why is she evil now
>>741913562Its on the Series X as part of the BC shit if you have one.
>>741913226What do you mean you don't like modern BioWare>Quick, think of us having sex!>*autistic growl uwu*
>>741914102What was that one again?
>>741894969>release at the end of xbox og gen>still no 16:9 option despite dead or alive 3 having that day one
The closed palm choices where FUCKED UP.
>>741915329https://youtu.be/Mxo_2eV20UY
>>741915329That one old man who just wanted his heritage back in that one village with the dam. You can demand money from him and then still not give it to him, for no reason. Made me feel genuine disgust. But to be fair, I always thought the closed fist was a little too evil for the sake of being evil.Its like the writers wrote about the closed fist but didn't understand what exactly it meant.
>>741915241>The Black Whirlwind is charged with protecting a monastery.>Gets bored so helps himself to their sacramental wine. >The rats start exploding into flames!>They where soaked in wine and tried to get close to Black Whirlwinds fire.

Boring game
>>741917275just get that jewel or whatever that gave bonus xp from reading the scrollsyou'd max out every style and stat with the amount of xp it gives you

>That time Halo, The Matrix, and Starwars had a big orgy together, all got pregnant and had a babyThis game is unironically kino
>>741894969>fade in black romance>no meaningful epilogIt was okay babby adventure but not for adult standards
>>741917546I remember the Iron Golem form being strong and also making you stupidly huge
It's like a bunch of white guys read Legend of the Condor Heroes and were like "this is cool let's do this" and then did it a shitty way
>>741917638I always wanted to play this game.
>>741894969Did anyone else use spells? I liked the wind one
>>741918045Do you own an Xbox One, Series S, or Series X? It's like 9.99 on the store
>>741918267How is it for windows?Is it broken like Jade Empire?
>>741918487more broken than jadeempire. beyond broken sadly
>>741918756That sucks.No mod fixes?
>>741915329I remember them making such a big deal about how open palm/closed fist wasn't just light side/dark side but in the end it absolutely was. The closed fist ending has you plunge the world into destruction for literally no reason other than "i'm evil".
>>741918907oh I mean you can get it to run. but don't expect to use a controller and expect it to crash at least 20 times during a full playthrough and also spend like a whole day getting the game to properly run on your PC. once you do all of this yes you can play it on PC. But the crashing is 100% guaranteed and there is no solution for it of the controller support
>>741919062Fuck beans!
>>741894969Literally the first big budget RPG that actually let you be a homo
>>741894969thanksi enjoyed the game
>>741896560>>741913547I had a playthrough where I used his gun as the main weapon after I got it, some enemies were immune to it as far as I remember but it has been nearly 20 years.
>>741920092Okay, but it's also the one that lets you fuck both romanceable women at the same time. Something that not even modern games let you do since it's too "problematic". What now?
>>741922875honestly eastern monsters and religion are scary to me
>>741923895let the kappa get in your assa
>>741922875It's just a horse man
>>741894969I now remember that I started 5-6 playthroughs and never finished the game
>>741894969I tried to get into this on Steam but it didn't work. I forget what was wrong but I couldn't play.
>>741924079But it has no face
>>741894969I played it for the first time like a year ago. dropped it once I reached the big city because the combat got really annoying. I wanted to like the fast punching style but the lack of range really made it bothersome to play around, and the other martial styles were just kind of boring.
>>741895690gotta push that outrage no matter what
>>741896432>man who likely has an entire folder of tranny wojacks telling anyone else to go outsidelol
>>741895096In dark souls 2 there is a coffin that does the same thing.
>>741924206It's a skull mask the face is underneath
>>741924510Well that isn't scary at all, thanks for letting me know Anon
>>741924230I think it was the same for me, the combat was really tedious and anything happening plotwise wasn't good enough to make up for it.
>>741924230play it on the hardest difficulty. Clutching in bioware games is the only way to get fun from combat
Wonder why this isn't on Steam but Kotor is? It doesn't have all those video essays made about it, it's really turning into an abandonware hidden gem.
>>741895661LEGENDARY STRIKE
>>741925445We need to return to this era of character design.
>>741925541>abandonware when it's available on gog and xbox
>>741925541Jade Empire is on steam. It doesn't work but it's there.
>>741925541>this isn't on Steam???https://store.steampowered.com/app/7110/Jade_Empire_Special_Edition/
>>741910852No, you are Spirit Monk kid, the girls are cousins though.
>>741925060>>741924230Imo the reason combat feels so boring is that all the fighting styles feel too similar. Each one is light attack with a triple attack combo and a slow heavy attack. There should be actual fighting game inspired combos unique for each style. Hell maybe even smash bros style ones where attack+direction key gives you a different attack.
>>741926046What's the best way to play it now? Just emulate it I guess?
>>741927754It worked on my machine, so just try it on steam first and refund if you can't run it.
>>741925445>>741925815this fempc model was fucking stacked
>>741927861I already have it on Steam and it doesn't work. Unfortunately I'm a retard and didn't try it within 14 days of purchase but I probably got it mega cheap anyway.
>>741927754GoG version works fine.
>>741927917
>>741928805>>741927917Wu is cuter
i tried playing it but couldn't get it working with a controller
Bioware's last good game.
>>741896086Judaism has six genders
>>741894969I never forgot it. I still love this game.
>>741895096You now also remember that Betty is a great magician
>>741894969i remember i played it and that your master betrays you at the end and that's literally the only thing i recall about the entire game lol
You couldn't make this game today. Because of woke.
>>741929314Just like there's a unique layer to easterners emulating western sword and sorcery fantasy, there's a similarly unique layer to westerners emulating eastern martial arts mysticism. I hate that "cultural appropriation" sensitivity for depriving us of these interesting fusions.
>>741894969Pretty enjoyable game, not perfect by a long shot on all angles but what's there is enjoyable. Hard mode is funny because most of the time it's just enemies having more HP but then few specific fights being unfathomable, like The Ravager fight where when he gets low he just regenerates to 3/4 of his health and unless you can't outdamage his regeneration right at the end the fight will never end or Death's Hand that has the same gimmick except it's seemingly random whether he does it or not, he can do it 3 and even 4 times or not at all. Also fox bitch was an early wall for me. Last run I also forbade myself from using Jade Golem transformation, makes the game more fun. In general high Chi/magic/transformation run is pretty fun, Horse Demon transformation was my bread and butter and Red Minister is just winning the game similarly to Jade Golem because you just lifesteal through everything. It's also one of the first games I ever bought way back in 2006, good times. >>741915329The problem with Closed Fist is that they tell you that's it's not just "be evil for the sake of evil" (even if it can be that) and that it's a viable philosophical way of living and then giving you only three opportunities to act on it, with closing the dam (people relied on it too much and they will need to adapt), letting the slave girl kill her slaver to obtain true freedom and during Closed Fist scholar quest where you hear reasonable arguments about the path and what contributes to it and what doesn't alongside testing you on the understanding of it. And then main plot just doesn't factor that nuance at all, if you pick Closed Fist you are simply evil itself for no reason aside from "i'm evil".
>>741929860
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5vPSSP6QAUHad a comfy soundtrack and visuals
>>741930040Thinking of closed Fist I also don't like the Open Palm story ending either. I mean if you do the needful and let the Water Dragon free, then the waters that sustain the Empire will also vanish.So if you like the Jade Empire your hero will watch it burn to the ground based on what happens in the good ending but Bioware never actually address that.
>>741930208The main theme is also incredibly good. Death Hand's too
always wanted to try a drunken master run but I read it's just a shit martial art not worth the time
>>741930446It doesn't scale at all from what I remember, I don't think you can put points into it or maybe I just never did because the idea of wasting your only character slot on him seemed stupid
>>741930446It's a meme technique you get from a meme character. You use it once or twice for the novelty and then use proper techniques instead, like>LEAPING TIGER!
>>741894969I played it when it came out and loved the shit out of it as a tiny wuxia fan, but the only thing I remember is having the power to use focus to slow time all game and making you feel OP... Only for the final boss to say "Remember to... FOCUS!" Then activating it before you.Kino of the highest order.
>>741931420Yeah the final fight was great.>I am a better teacher, than I thought.
You come back from the dead even stronger! Fucking kino!
>>741894969I definitely remember the fox tits
>>741896560>guy does stupid dance>blast him away with gunLoved this guy.
>>741933238You'd think the Lotus Assassins would've noticed the dude and his weapon.
>>741908798based
Decapitating Lotus Assassin's was always fun
They imprisoned the Water Dragon which was causing drought everywhere else for the sake of preventing drought in the central Kingdom. The Open Palm way returns to nature, with all the floods & droughts that nature brings. The Celestial Bureaucracy manages that shit the Emperor stepped beyond his station.The Closed Fist continues siphoning the world's resources to maintain prosperity for him & his buddies and fuck everybody else I got mine...more like the Boomer Fist.
>>741894969desu i just wish there were more arpgs with settings like this in general, closest is soulslikes nowadays it seems like
>>741894969What's the best way to play it these days? Original Xbox, emulated Xbox or PC?
>>741939941played on series s and it was fine. Doesn't seem like jade empire has any bugs like kotor had with breakable quests unless you do them in order
>>741939941gog with the jade empire in style mod
It's a shame that the studio that made the game no longer exists.
>>741894969>Jade Empire comes out>Buy it full price in the first week of release>Decide to take my time with it and fully appreciate it>Eventually just start cheesing combat by jump attacking or something it was 20 years ago>Enjoy the story and get to the end within a few weeks of playing>Realise I just wasted my whole summer after highschool on this fucking game instead of shagging my bullys big sister, who'd always approach me those rare times my friends pried me out of the house to go for anbubderaged drinkNearly 40 and still sometimes think about this. Jade Empire is some chinky nonsense that reminds me of my regrets around a girl who's probably long married and fat
>>741896713It's Bioware slop, in that it plays a lot like KOTOR or Dragon Age, except the combat is more action based>In a bottle settlement>Talk to characters, solve problems>Fight enemies>Move on to next set piece village or area
>>741894969had like 10 playthroughs. prime RPG alongside with Kotor
>>741940351okay bro. didn't ask. the lusting after underaged pussy threads are on /vg/ not here
>>741940479>Last summer after highschool>40, talking about 20 years ago>UnderageReading comprehension
>>741941149bro if you're 40 you shouldn't be lusting after 20 year olds. go talk to your grand kids or something
>>741940351>he regrets not joining some femgroid's cock carousel
>>741928918My first character...
>>741915329A lot of people already commented on "Closed Fist" which is supposedly confidence and strength as opposed to Open Palm which is humility and compassion. It was never meant to be outright cartoon villain twirling mustache EVIL but was meant to be a more aggressive and dismissive solution. Kill your slave master for freedom as compared to earning your freedom through either work or law.
>>741943670it's the fundamental flaw of moral choice systems. it's binary so you're forced to choose one or the other. the choices become more and more extreme as you progress.
>>741943839Probably lost within the developers own social biases. If one is "good" the other must be "bad." The logic presented is not a tradition yin-yang with a the seed of each other present in both. "Closed Fist" puts the shopping cart on the curb while "Open Palm" takes it to the corral.
>"yes, spirit monk, you must free my body and return me to the cycle. your master and the emperor committed the most heinous of all crimes">um wait why did he do that again?>"oh because I caused a drought that killed hundreds of thousands and nearly destroyed the Jade Empire™ until they took my body to end it. such human arrogance must not be allowed to go unpunished. now free me or you are evil and I will make your companions all turn on you" ???
For me, it's Monk Zeng
>>741944172Honestly would have made the ending too interesting if they had pointed out the repercussions of freeing the water dragon. Would have made a great sequel too. The empire collapses
>>741945980Some of the dialogue choices in the sequences are quite interesting, but your companions instantly turn moralfag on you if you dare to question the narrative
>>741894969>China becoming a major power in videogames>this is still the best version of fantasy China
>>741946674>this is still the best version of fantasy ChinaSword of Justice was better
