Both released around the same time, yet only one of these has a native widescreen resolution support on PC. Sadness.

Not played it on PC in years so maybe explain which one has native widescreen instead of acting like a jerk about it.

Jade Empire - ME Trilogy was all great imo. Well except Sonic Dark Brotherhood anyway.

It's hard to say as someone who played it as a fan of Star Wars. But it doesn't really tie into the films/TV shows at all. The only prior investment you might benefit from is knowledge of the setting and even then I don't think it's a requirement to really enjoy it.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I was clear from my inference in the topic title by which one is widely celebrated and which one was not. Jade Empire is the bastard child, but has native widescreen support on PC. KotOR does not. It bothers me.

Back when Bioware made banger after banger, even their mediocre offerings would be considered 7/10 and among the best titles in another developer's catalogue. Shit was great up until ME2 came out.

The game play is a little dated but it's more than separate enough from the main Star Wars story line that you don't need to know anything beyond lightsabers and Jedi are good and Sith are bad.

The game has one of the most famous twists in all of video game history so if you don't know, it makes playing it all that much better

God, a remake or sequel could be so beautiful with current gen graphics. Love the art style of Jade Empire.

Wouldn't Jade Empire have wide screen support because it came out a bit later? Came out in 2005 and that's when widescreen started to become more common.

Or was it because of that android port they did and it was more recent?

Pretty sure you made a previous topic about Jade Empire that got me playing it again. Never did do the evil route. Such a shame it never got a sequel or reboot

Oh it's worth it. The most brutal evil route of any Bioware game.

I could never do evil routes. I'm too attached to the good people in my party. I'm not a subjugating type of person.

I had more fun with Jade Empire than KOTOR even if the latter is the better game technically.

Jade Empire is such an underrated gem. I'm a little salty it never got Mass Effect/ Dragon Age popular.

Jade Empire was fun but so unpolished. It felt like it was a beta.

There's so much awkwardness in it and stuff that doesn't add up. Like a world map even though there's only 2 locations and the evil power to get health from killing innocent animals even though the only killable innocent animals in the game are in an early area long before you unklock that skill.

And the combat system was broken as fuck, a few OP attacks could just be repeated forever to win every fight.

I think the ending and the Thrupple are the only reason people remember it at all sadly. It was kind of a mess.

Which is a shame because like a lot of Bioware titles, the world was brimming with potential. A sequel could have been fantastic.

sounds like I'm hating on it and I'm not. I liked it. But Mass Effect, Dragon Age, KOTOR (also Baldurs Gate and NVN if you count them) just wipe the floor with it.

Jade Empire was fun.

I liked that you could mix up the fighting styles during the battles, so youd bust fools like in the Kung fun movies. I hope they remake this game.
