They are both great and not to be missed, JE has more of a story and Fable has a sandbox feel to it, so get them both because the combined price is the price of one new game

They're both really easy...

I've never died on Fable. Not once. Never, ever died. I only died on Jade Empire a few times...

If you want to have a game where you can do almost anything, then get Fable.

If you think they're comparable games, you're wrong. One is an RPG and the other is a hack n slash adventure game. Both are worth owning, but it will all come down to which of these genres you like better.

Tough call, I like them both about the same. They both have good vs evil decisions to be made. They both have a kind of open ended feel to them. I think they can both be played through a couple times at least. Heh, get both if you can. But I'd wait for Fable The Lost Chapters to come out before getting it.

I agree. If you want a plot driven RPG, don't get Fable first. That is a big difference between the two. Also, I thought JE was easy until I played Fable. It is impossible to die in that game, like playing Lego Star Wars. But both can be a lot of fun.

The key to keeping Fable interesting is to nerf yourself a bit. If you're going to be a mage, avoid inferno, fireball, invulnerability. And if you want melee, be a more rogueish character focusing on yellow skills like speed, guile and accuracy. It's a lot like Morrowind in that you have to try to make it challenging. Playing as a mage specializing in inferno and fireball is like playing on "very easy" difficulty. Playing as a pure melee warrior is like playing on "easy." A rogue build or a carefully crafted mage can make the game infinitely more enjoyable.

Jade Empire! It has a better storyline. Much better fighting system, more memorable characters and the game is even longer.

Get both. But just save your money and wait for fable: the lost chapters. The orginal fable is too short. Got a bit disappointed 'cause I thought it was gonna be huge.

I agree. And making a jack of all trades also makes things a bit tougher. I wouldn't mind going through as a ranger.

^^^ True. JE seems easy until you turn the difficulty up, and then you'll actually understand how great the combat system is. BTW, whoever said that Fable's side quests are better, no offense, but WTF? I absolutely abhorred Fable's side quests. The prisoner one, the escorts, it was all just boring. And they were also made frustrating by the crappy lock-on. And Fable doesn't have as much replayability as Fable, imo. Fable takes 10 hours through, and I doubt that you'll be playing it more than 3 times. JE takes about 20 hours (Yeah, it's still short) through and you can play it 3 times through for each different ending. And Fable's story sucks compared to JE's. I know that's strong, but it's definitely true.

I have both games and I have to say Jade Empire was the better game for me. Don't get me wrong, Fable is a fun game just not as fun as Jade Empire.

Although I had a great time with Fable, it was a bit on the very short and somewhat lacking side, so I'd say wait around for Fable: The Lost Chapters to come.

As for Jade Empire, it starts out a tad slow, then hits fast with a pretty cool story. It looks good and the controls are fairly easy to customize and fit into... I got a little bored with it after a while, but that is just something that happens with me. It is still an entertaining game.

which is better and why pleasedakilla229


I like them both, but Jade Empire is better, IMHO, because of these reasons, in order:

1. Story is awesome
2. Gameplay/controls are better than awesome (Jackie Chan has nothing on my character!)
3. The graphics are better
4. I didn't like the mission structure on Fable as much as the questing system on Jade Empire.

Jade Empire is just cooler and more exciting, but both games can be pretty short.

I own both of the games and its a hard call. Fable has more good things to it than Jade Empire.

Why:

Length- Jade empire took a little over 12 hours to complete.(I don't like short RPG's)

I am still working on Fable, and it's seems like I've been playing it forever.

On jade empire, you have a choice of what you can say, but Fable lacks the amount of choices you can make.

On fable you can change into different clothing and armour and get a haircut, none of this is on jade empire.

also, when i was playing jade empire, it was SO short.

My verdict would have to be Fable, but Jade Empire is still a good game.

I happen to agree with the poster above. Morrowind is like the neverending game if you want it to be. I also enjoyed Fable just not as much.

Jade Empire pwns Fable. Lack of depth and overall lack of story, gameplay, and RPG elements killed it.

They're both great, but I think Jade Empire had a better story and voice acting, whereas Fable had a better fighting engine...perhaps. Get 'em both if you can.

JE by far simply because it's longer and more satisfying than the mere ten or so hours offered by Fable. Fable is enjoyable as well, but you get your money's worth out of JE. But considering both titles are $20 (once Lost Chapters releases) you can get both games for $10 cheaper than a regular game that releases at $50.

Just got through watching a video on G4 about originality in the industry today. Fable was mentioned as the only new IP of 2004 in the top 50 games. Now I believe that Fable diminished the potential of Jade Empire. Fable was hyped to hit as hard as FFVII. When it released, it was a half-a$$ed ripoff. Bioware wanted to simplify their presentation for the casual gamer. Someone who doesn't follow Bioware will see that Microsoft Studios logo and think about Fable, negatively. I read that Jade has sold a little over gold. Now the price is $20.

To answer to question of this thread. Jade Empire all the way.

Fable: The Lost Chapters

Positives: Graphics, Humor, Customization, Acting

Negatives: Story, Interactivity with people and environments, Battle system, Personality, Length, Music

Jade Empire

Positives: Story, Battle system, Personality, Music, Acting

Negatives: Interactivity with environments, Length, Customization, Martial art styles are simplified

I haven't played Fable yet, and i have played Jade Empire, so i suggest Jade Empire, and wait for Lost Chapters, that's what i'm going to do.
