Cliff Hanger Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Fuck yeah SSX3. That and Virtua Figher 4 Evo are the two PS2 games I most want to play and have no current way to do so (they don't run well on PCSX2). Now if only I had an Xbone.

supremebve Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I don't know if this is relevant to this thread, but since we're talking about old Xbox games, is there are a reason it is impossible to find Burnout 3 Takedown anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Is there a way to get the Community Patch for KoToR 2 on XBox like you can through the Steam Workshop? Because whoa man, was that a wonderful cleanup job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the secret hetero romance option is pretty awesome. 10 hours ago, El Dragon said: Shameful admission: Never played Jade Empire.

I used the Furious Ming skin for the badass dragon tattoo on his back but chose the Legendary Strike fighting style. Thousand Cuts always seemed to overshoot my enemy before I could land the death blow and trigger a Harmonic Combo and White Demon was just too too too slow. I picked the Dire Flame magic style because you know, badass dragon tattoo on Ming's back. Thematics are important. Plus, the Fire Dragon AoE also helped with crowd control allowing me to land my HCs without being knocked out of my wind up..

tbarrie Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I don't recall having a problem with Jade Empire's combat system. I mean, it's real-time combat. So it's just filler to keep you from blowing past the good parts too quickly. But judged through that lens, it seemed fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The combat was pretty simple, hit stuff until they die. Try not to get hit. Â GIT GUD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Yeah, I think I struggled the first time I tried with Jade Empire because I thought it was going to be less button-mashy. But no, it's fairly button-mashy. Second playthrough I barely broke a sweat. I wonder how well ported this ends up. Hell, 2 of the 3 reasons I kept my original XBox are on that list - 1: that Jade was always considered a terrible PC port, and 2-3: the wondrous controller button glitches from KOTOR 1 & 2. But I suppose those of you who have actually played other ports by now have a good handle on how other games have been ported, and can comment accordingly. Also makes me wonder how hilariously broken Morrowind will be. Best guess -Â hilarious for the first hour; throw controller into wall past first hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Morrowind is legit the most broken game I ever played that I still think qualifies as great. The XBox version was really easy to freeze in certain spots, especially the Mounhold expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but on the flipside you could bug out the spellcrafting system to max out your stats, which was all good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I don't think it was bugged out as much as it was easy to game because you could just make 1-cost cheap spells just for levelling. Nothing like the old 1 second summon scamp spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 There was a bug where if you created a stat-boosting spell and added Soul Trap as an effect it would make the stat boost permanent. But you had to look at the ground when you cast or it would crash the game. I cannot believe I still remember this shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Before I played it with the Community Patch on Steam like a decade+ later, I referred to KoToR2 as "the best public beta I ever played". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I can't believe there were people who didn't exploit the Soul Trap glitch. Enchanting was damn near impossible even with it (that or game crashing potions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
