02-03-2012, 06:04 PM

02-03-2012, 06:04 PM

02-03-2012, 06:09 PM

I'm with you man, easily the best gameplay in an action rpg I ever seen/played. It plays like a full blown top notch action adventure game while being a deep rpg. Not just rpg elements be a full blown rpg. This is groundbreaking.

People always call "button smashers" easy and repetitive. But that's not the case, the goods get extremely hard, especially if you're spamming the strongest attack with no depth to your strategy...niccas be sleeping man, too !!ing simple to understand !!.

Game actually has way more depth and a completely different game than Fable...and Fable is one of my favorite gaming series ever. The graphics favor it a bit, but it really ain't nothing like Fable, coming from a hardcore Fable fan. I think this is better.

this isnt about skyrim though especially considering they're barely alike. while i agree that gameplay is pretty weak, its the sum of everything else that makes it what it is.

if bioware were to make a jade empire 2 today(which would most likely have similar gameplay to this) it would probably easily !! on this game.
