The Jade Empire Anticipation Post

 

This looks sweet. Reading this review makes me sensibly cautious about fighting and customization — which is a shame, as I really like fiddling around with all the character-building minutae. However, then I read the first few paragraphs again and all is well. Some day soonish, I’m going to be a hero again, not the lame, depressing protagonist of KOTOR II.

I’m not so worried about the load times. They’re excellent for getting cups of tea and snacks. Unless you stretch all the quests ridiculously over all the maps for no purpose except to irritate the player. Hello, Telos in KOTOR II.

Is there a subtext in this review? I think there is. I should really write my review of that disappointment. To think I had it listed along my future iMac and the new series of Doctor Who as one of the best things to be happening this year. Pah! But I must finish it as an evil person first.

Now, back to preparing my physics presentation. [shudder]
