Rushed deveopment, cut content, buggy to an extreme and nowhere even close to the "next-gen, immersive, roleplaying experience" that we were being told we're getting for the past couple of years. All bugs aside, this game is mediocre at best and easily outplayed by games from the past. Stay away or get at a heavy discount for $20 or so, a year or two from now and don't hope for major improvements as this games problems go well beyond bugs and glitches - it is simply unfinished. Spent around 10 hours messing around the town and I'm not really happy with the content or, should I say, the lack of it. Haven't played much of the main story but, if it's exceptionall, that might be Cyberpunk's only reedeming quality. I would have refunded but my request was denied.
I sure enjoyed this one and would recommend to all BioWare fans and Kung-Fu lovers out there. If not the story then the battle system is what sets this apart from the rest BioWare games and i mean that in a good way. Not that theres anything wrong with their other titles, its just that Jade Empire is unique in its own way and deserves your attention even years later after its original release, I honestly think its underrated. Only flaw that comes to my mind is that sometimes, battles are more tedious rather than challenging so think twice before cranking up that difficulty setting all the way to the max, like i did -.- Sometimes i had to do around 50 or even more full attacks to kill certain bosses, but other than that the game was really appealing. Oh and, great job GoG team, i had 0 problems with this game ;)
