Morgoth Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) Maybe someone can describe it to me, I have never played Fable 1 (and don't intend to do so). The reviews seem to be mostly postive, while player reviews vary from "it lacks depth" to "meh" to "it's totally awsum!" I'm not a big fan of Molyneux since the Black & White debacle, but I'm willing to give that one a chance. From the reviews, it doesn't seem to have complex character interactions (emoticons?), neither does it have a great story, yet it seems to have a ton of fans thanks to an atmosphereic gameworld and some humorous takes on characters, so maybe there's something to it. Are the characters likeable, or is everyone a silly circus clown? I also read the combat system is quite fun, despite being too easy. I don't know, something still tells me it's a reeking pile of shyt, but perhaps I'm wrong. Edit: Oh damn, I just posted that into the wrong forum. Mods please move it into Computer & Console, thanks.

Morgoth Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Lol, so it's an average shooter then. All I know about HALO is the Halo1 demo for PC.

theslug Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Nah, I'm only interested in the singleplayer part of the game. I wouldn't even entertain the idea of buying the game for the single player unless you knew for certain that you had a buddy or two to play online co op with and even then the experience is a one time deal and only mediocre at best as well as being short. The story is ridiculously stupid so I wouldn't expect anything out of it except frustration especially the end. Halo 3 has only one good quality and that is the multiplayer and even then it's wrought with problems such as horrible maps and an even horriblerer community and freakin bs you have to have all the map packs to play team doubles which is the only thing worth freakin playing seeing as team slayer and mlg is jam packed full of noobs and tards and there's no escape. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I've really enjoyed Fable 2. But it's very similar to the original, just expanded a bit. If you disliked the original, you won't like this one. It's an action adventure game in most ways, and the setting is very fun. If you've read Charles Dickens, then you will enjoy the fact the setting is clearly based off his works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 (edited) Halo 3 is a load of fun in co-op, but if you play the game on Heroic and/or then Legendary, the game becomes very strategic, surprisingly. Very very fun shooter, that doesn't bring anything new to the table but is pretty much perfected and polished to an insane level. The game is literally without bugs or glitches. And hey, 20 euros isn't that much. EDIT: But, uh... maybe I'm one of the rare people who think that. Edited December 29, 2008 by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

Tigranes Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 It's still far away from coming to the PC though, isn't it? Halo 3 I mean. Fable 2 doesn't interest me at all because the first one didn't hold me at all (yes, I did give it a try).

The game is literally without bugs or glitches Yeea.. except tiny insignificant things like how they couldnt get it to render at 1280x720(xbox360 standard resolution), so they had to lower the resolution thus making it look like a grainy migraine-inducing smudge?

Amentep Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I finished it, but ultimately it didn't really feel like there was anything to it. Don't get me wrong, there was some neat stuff in it, but when I was done I basically felt like I'd probably never play it again. Also it was annoying having full towns following me around in luv/lust. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, there was some neat stuff in it, but when I was done I basically felt like I'd probably never play it again. Also it was annoying having full towns following me around in luv/lust. Some of the Fable mechanics definitely need some tweaking. Romantic gestures shouldn't affect groups, and there should be separate like/love sliders. I got really annoyed that shopkeepers would wander around town looking for me leaving the shops unattended when I wanted to go there. Shops only ever stocking one of each item they offered bothered me too. What kind of produce stall only stocks one piece of celery?

Morgoth Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 I bought a copy at ebay, so I'm curious how it will be. I can always sell it back if it sucks (i.e. if the first 15 min suck, I stop playing). Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
