Jade Empire vs Just Cause 3
Jade Empire
Jade Empire is a martial arts-themed action RPG where you get the freedom to choose to become either a noble hero or a treacherous villain. The game also provides you with a vast open world to explore and a host of interesting characters to interact with. As you play an aspiring martial arts master, you'll have access to a wide range of nicely-animated fighting moves and styles that you can mix and match. While you increase in your proficiency of the martial arts, your enemies' difficulty level will scale up accoridngly as well, so every battle you engage in will be as challenging as the next despite having better gear and skills.However, being a rather old game, the combat sequences may feel a bit choppy and awkward today. The graphics looks weathered as well. And if you want to play this game for its story, you might want to reconsider. Jade Empire is famous for mainly its cool moves and well-made combat system back then, and having a completely original and immersive plot isn't one of the selling points.
That said, there isn't a lot of oriental-themed RPGs out there and Jade Empire happens to be one of the best ones. If you love martial art games, you might want to try this game out.
Just Cause 3
Just Cause 3 is the latest, and so far, the best Just Cause game within the franchise. Set in yet another tropical paradise - this time in the Mediterranean sea, you'll have over 1000 square kilometer of gorgeous landscape to explore and cause total chaos in... and fortunately, the game offers you a villain - a ruthless dictator who has the entire island population under his thumb - making it incredibly easy and fun to torment him by taking out his people and his critical buildings.As usual, albeit with hugely improved graphics and effects, you'll get to perform a wide variety of thrilling stunts - stunts that you can further combine to create new creative and exaggerated ways to wreak havoc. In addition to the many different types of missions, there are even plenty of collectibles to gather too.
However, for a game such as this one, you'll probably expect the storyline to be rather lackluster, which in this game, is exactly the case. But if you simply want to blow off some steam and cause trouble for a evil dictator that you can whole-heartedly hate, then, Just Cause 3 is the best possible game you can play.
