Jade Empire V.S. Dragon Quest VIII

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

Jade Empire was cool, but if I'm gonna play a game from Bioware I'm going to play Baldur's Gate 2. I mean, have you seen Jan Jansen? He's easily one of the coolest guys ever, if not the coolest.

DQVIII was okay, but now that I'm in college and am generally speaking either busy doing homework, at work, or drunk (or some mixture of the three) at any given time, I don't really have 80+ hours to throw down on a game anymore. And on top of that, Jessica has stupid hair. I'm not sure why Trunks had a rapier, either. And I feel that the fact that Goku can't go SS3 really held the game back (also, everyone knows that Saiyans don't have purple hair, how could they mix that up?). I'm not sure who came up with the character roster, either. Like I said earlier, Goku and Trunks are there, and so is Mr. Satan (although he lost a considerable amount of weight and his name was changed for some reason). The addition of a Tonberry of Final Fantasy fame was a welcome surprise, but I think more playable characters (Where's Gohan? Goten? Piccolo? Vegeta?!) and more battles that last 20+ episodes would've made DQVIII a much better game. As it stands now, it's only okay.

I can't say that I have seen Jan Jansen the only Bioware games that I've played and beaten are Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire. But I recently bought a copy of Neverwinter Nights (Platinum Edition) and I'm playing that game but...GOD DAMN IT'S SLOW!!! I think another thing that Jade Empire has is better music my favorite track is the Closed Fist theme.
