Fable - Any thoughts?

[ThisIsWitty]

Supposedly going to be good. Hopefully.

Anyone?

[N00bKill3R]

Better be good for all the damn waiting :explode

[LacrimansTaurne]

I've pre-ordered it. From all the clips I've seen and the things I've read, it sounds like it's going to be a great game. Molyneux has yet to disappoint me; hopefully it'll stay that way.

[ArrowX]

I'm not sure its going to be great. It'll make truckloads of cash but from what I hear of all the things they suposedly cut out (i.e. Realtime aging, killing children, being able to raise a family, bcome the leader of a town) I don't think It will be a milestone game.

[Ant10708]

They have to leave some stuff for the sequeal.

[ArrowX]

Aye

[Anonymous]

That is the stupidest logic ever. Why would you cut out features from your game just so you can add them in the sequel? That's what you do only when your game is worthless in content.

[Immortal Goat]

I wouldn't think they would cut those out, though. Those features were basically what they were creating the game about (not the killing children thing, but the real time aging), and would be too important to get rid of.

That being said, I can't wait for this one. It's massively open structure sounds interesting, and I like the idea that if I am evil enough, my character will be wreathed in flames and grow horns. :evil

[executioneer]

oh wtf i was looking forward to killing the children so much :'(

[ArrowX]

Square Enix does it all the time.

[executioneer]

hence, stupidest logic CONFIRMED

[DamnthatDavid]

Just got a Demo DVD of Fable for pre-ording it. To lazy to put it in the Box...

[Immortal Goat]

Then tell us about it AFTER you watch it, dumbfuck.

[FS]

It's been so insanely hyped, I don't think it can do much else than disappoint. But it's probably not my kind of game anyway. So. Uh. So.

[ArrowX]

Brute Force anyone?

FS I love your avitar. GO HOLLAND'S GUNDAM!

[Perndog]

That is the stupidest logic ever. Why would you cut out features from your game just so you can add them in the sequel? That's what you do only when your game is worthless in content.

Because during development people keep coming up with new features and if they used all of them development would just drag on forever the game would never be released.

This (and extra money) is why Blizzard makes such awesome expansion packs. That's what they do with all the features that are designed after they're too far into development to add any more.

[executioneer]

but c'mon, killing children? all the QUALITY games have that :(

[Perndog]

Daggerfall :love

Wait...were there children in that game?

If there were, you could kill them.

[pjalne]

Oh man, I keep going "FS, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!" and then I realize it's not FS at all.

[James]

The more I read about it, the more I believe it'll be a console mover.

As for the features they cut out, I don't think it's true based on the things I've read (especially since one picture appears to be your character kicking a child off a cliffside). Any references to the claims of these things taken out?

[Perndog]

I'm going to buy an Xbox for this game.

[FreakinStrange]

yeah if i were to buy an Xbox for any one game it would be this one

[HickMan]

Square Enix is a faggot company

[ArrowX]

It should be B.C.

From the footage ive seen at EB Games the framerate appears to die whene theres about 6 humans on screen.

They didnt cut out the children, but I think you have to be a deadbeat dad that wanders around and just gives the woman money every once and a while. and the ageing is a stupid idea. If my guy died after playing the game until he DIES OF OLD AGE id be pretty pissed. What if they did that in diablo 2!!!!

[executioneer]

i bet if your main character died of old age you'd get to continue playing as one of his kids :rolleyes

[LacrimansTaurne]

Frequently asked questions about Fable. (http://www.lhtimes.com/fablefaq.html) I now want this game even more.

[EisigerBiskuit]

I wonder if theres an option in the game to just skeeze around, getting drunk in a bar and dying fat.

[ThisIsWitty]

If you play like that, then yes.

I asked why they'd 'cut out' features, not 'not add more,' you hoser.

[HickMan]

I think the game might be good :o

[ernasty10050]

the review is in at ign.com, and it's a great game


where you can marry or kill anybody you want

[DeadKennedys]

The logic may be stupid, but that doesn't prevent it from happening. The shadow hunter was about to be the fourth orc hero in Warcraft III, but they cut him out and put him back in the expansion. That was a small example.

[Immortal Goat]

You have Simon Birch as your avatar. :(

[Anonymous]

That's what you do only when your game is worthless in content.

CAN. NONE. OF. YOU. READ.

[ThisIsWitty]

They cut out lots of junk because otherwise it would be way too fucking huge and take another 4 years to make. If (and hopefully they will) make a second one, they'll probably put a few things back in. I doubt the game will be 'worthless in content', though.

They took out dragons and kill-able children. :( You can still beat the shit out of your kids, though. :)

[ArrowX]

the coolest part is that you can use just about anything as a weapon, I'm gonna have a +9 Fryingpan of distste. Your weapons wil become ledgend too.

NERD! BLOODY FUCKING NERD! NERDYNERDYNERDYNERDY! DAMN YOU FUCKING NERD IN ALL YOUR NERDNESS!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blow up like that.










NERD!

[Tallyho]

Jesus Christ, shut up.

[ArrowX]

Tally this hoe

[ThisIsWitty]

DIE ALREADY

[MLE]

you haven't made one useful contribution to this thread, or this message board. don't tell other people to die or shut up until you do the same.

[ThisIsWitty]

That defies logic. :(

[Father §p@z]

Logic sugests that you are a dick.

[MLE]

you spelled "spock" wrong.

[Father §p@z]

Oops. Well, I'm not such a huge Startrek fan that I pay attention to the credits, so I don't care. But that's not the point. The point is that ThisIsWitty is a jackass >:

[MLE]

agreed.

[ThisIsWitty]

Am not. >:

[ArrowX]

you are too >:

i'm typing this with my on-screen keyboard :(

[ThisIsWitty]

iomn ttypoinbg tyhios weiotrhg my poenmuis.

Wow, that really isn't too clear.

[Ninjavenom]

WTF

Stop posting fifty times to reply to people unless you have something valid to contribute! I'm sick of seeing stupid little smiley faces when people insult you. Quit trying to get the last word in and shut up.

[ArrowX]

yeah!

[LacrimansTaurne]

ANYWAY, Fable 1.5 may be in the works :/
http://games.kikizo.com/news/200409/004.asp

[ArrowX]

I got scewed over wih Morrowind. I'm sure hoping i'm not gonna have to buy 2 Fables.

[HickMan]

GO LIFE SOME WEIGHTS

[ThisIsWitty]

ALMOST JUST 5 DAYS LEFT, YOU GUYS.

[Vexation]

I'm going to hazard a guess that Fable will take advantage of the Box's HD and allow you to get a bit more content later on, for a small price... like your soul.

[ArrowX]

I wonder if theres a fountain of youth or something? Or something that makes you young gagain liek halfway through the sttory.

[ThisIsWitty]

That would defeat the purpose of aging.

They do, however, have shrines in the game. If you go to the 'good' shrine you can absolve yourself of your evil-er deeds. Thay also have an 'evil' shrine. I'm against those, too. You should have to work for those devil horns, damnit.

[ernasty10050]

you stop aging when you turn 65 and 48 minutes is one year so you're not going to become old for a long time anyway

exept when you use magic a lot it's more like 20 minutes is one year so don't use it a lot

[ThisIsWitty]

Almost only 3 more days you guys.

[ThisIsWitty]

ok you guys now its only 3 days left are you all excited as i a?m

[Vexation]

Not really. I just realized I have no money to spend on a game at this moment.

Maybe I can pawn a kidney...

[Crying Baby Jesus]

I'm gonna sell Hunter the Reckoning Redeemer and SplinterCell2 for extra cash.

[davinxtk]

ANYWAY, Fable 1.5 may be in the works :/
http://games.kikizo.com/news/200409/004.asp

I'm way more interested in this 'Dimitri' business than Fable 1.5...




I'm probably going to ditch GTA: Vice City and XIII for this.
Or maybe my Halo: Game of the Year Edition. Don't need that fucker anymore.

[ThisIsWitty]

You might get $30 for that.

If that.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

Who wants to buy Pandora Tomorrow ANd Hunter The Reckoning Redeemer for $45 CNDN thats a fucking steal for 2 games up here
Pandora tomorrow cost melike $65

[mubert]

CLASSIFIEDS >:

[ernasty10050]

splinter cell 1's better than PT any way

[HickMan]

bullshit

[ernasty10050]

i like indoor stealth better

[ThisIsWitty]

Ok, anyway, Fable comes out tomorrow. My Fable-Boner grows harder and more fully erect by the hour. :)

[DamnthatDavid]

I'm picking it up today, I is so happy.

[ThisIsWitty]

Hey you guys, its out guys. AND IT'S FANTABULOUS. Now excuse me whilst I go submerge myself in it.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

I get it on the 24th

[DamnthatDavid]

YOu can't do everything you want... and respawning guards keep you from laying waste to towns. >:

[Crying Baby Jesus]

I told you people they cut a whole bunch of the world and things you could do out for sake of a better "story" Its like a cooler KOTOR

[DamnthatDavid]

KOTOR is way better then Fable.
Reason?

One Word: LIGHTSABERS.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

i meant a more hyped KOTOR. The story is the only thing that supposed to be great in fable.

[DamnthatDavid]

Don't try to change what you ment.

True, the action is alot better, with my Ronak the Axe, I tore through them undead like a big fat dildo tear's a virgin's asshole.

But that was only after I accidently sliced the person I was protecting in half. During battle, you SHOULDN'T be able to Target-Lock friendlys.

[HickMan]

fable's good. dont care if it's better then kotor or not.

[ThisIsWitty]

I'm about 7 or 8 hours into it. I like it pretty good, and it does kick KoTOR's ass. Big time.

[HickMan]

I'm a goody good guy

[ernasty10050]

i don't even really like kotor because my friends ruined the best part, the plot.
and the game play is just as boring as final fantasy or PSO

[Father §p@z]

Formerly ArrowX before someone marked my account as inactive after I'd been gone for one whole day >:

Jesus, I think it would have been wise of you to not announce that you are ArrowX, so you could start over and try NOT to act like a faggot.

[ThisIsWitty]

I'm a goody good guy


I'm pure fucking evil. Horns, screaming villagers. Chapel of Skorm is great for those evil-urges....


Where are you up to? Stat-wise, that is.

[DamnthatDavid]

I beat it as the goody two shoes.
Maxed out in Speed, Strength, and Accuracy,
with the only magic the time slow magic.
Title was Champion known as Reaper.

Finished game, lame ending...

Restarted, went Evil, magic user of death.
Title is Spellwarrior known as Assassian.

[Ihach]

so far im a little disappointed with it. there is alot of freedom, but not as much as i had hoped, everything you do seems to steer you towards your main quest. Even how your character develops seems less wide open than i wouldve thought. it still brings up alot of interesting new concepts, and hopefully there'll be a Fable 2 where they expand on them. but things like interacting with the women through poses seem interesting in concept, but get really tedious in practical use. nevertheless, i like it :( im a 34 year old longswordsman, title Liberator, a good guy obviously. i use slow time, assassin rush and ghost swords

[Crying Baby Jesus]

PELVIC THRUST OH!

[HickMan]

The best is the 'Sexy hero pose'

[ThisIsWitty]

59 year old virgin :( :(

Legendary Will User Known as RuneMaster

I beat it, so I started over. Has anyone else gotten Huw's sword? Its not bad. Neither is the legendary one you get from Bowerstone North's shop. :)

[Captain Goodtimes]

If everyone already beat this game, it must be real short. I don't think it would be a good investment for the "Riddles Fun Foundation".

[ernasty10050]

59 year old virgin

if you're going to post things about yourself, do it in another forum.

[ThisIsWitty]

GET OUT OF MY THREAD

[ernasty10050]

WOW, this one time, i had sex with my neighbors cat...she has a 5 inch clitoris

[ThisIsWitty]

GET OUT OF MY THREAD

[ernasty10050]

GET OUT OF MY THREAD

you jack ass.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

"ThisIsWitty- awww I had dibs on that cat"

[ThisIsWitty]

I think I hate you even more on your new name.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

your the reason jesus is crying. so be nice to the christian savior by blowing your brains out all over the street

[ThisIsWitty]

You're the reason I should blow my brains out.

[HickMan]

QUIT BITCHING AND STAY ON TOPIC. The game's definetly worth buying, I beat the game today. But still haven't done half of the things in it. Plus, there's a whole other game, practically I haven't played yet.

[DamnthatDavid]

I agree with the Hickman on this.

The game has layers, and you can't seem to get even through half the layers in one go through.

I'm to the Arena again this time around, and I want to see if Icould take a shot at Jack with my bow during the "Should I kill Whisper or Not" segment. He just standing up their on the balcony.

Or, what will happen if I kill Lady Grey, to avenge her sister? And I only managed to open a 10th of the demon doors...

What happens if you beat all the fight club arenas? Or is it possible to get those first 2 other quests at the very start? The one with the Ice Troll, or is that just left over from the original game plan.

So many options... HOW THE HELL do I open the demon door at the Greatlake Gorge? I have killed so many traders in front of that damn door, and it still won't open. That bastard...

[LacrimansTaurne]

The "evil" door opened for me when my alignment was 100% evil; red eyes & mist, horns, flies, the whole sha-bang. I've also heard if you eat those baby chick things in front of it, it'll open for you.

[DamnthatDavid]

Hmmm, thanks, I'll try that.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

cool I want to eat babys too!

[HickMan]

A BABY CHICKEN. YOU FUCKING MORON. SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

Its still a baby. People babys would be cool too.

[HickMan]

A BABY CHICKEN. YOU FUCKING MORON. SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[Supafly345]

From all the screenshots I have seen, you get to play one white guy's evolution into many different forms of homosexuality. Even when he has facial hair covering every square inch of his face he still looks like a fag. Don't disagree with me: when one of the highlights of the game is to choose your outfit and how stylish you look effects how people talk to you, the only possible reason for that guy's back to be constantly arched is because he has an enchanted fairy dildo shoved up his ass.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

Faeries PULL DOWN YOUR PANTS!!!

[ThisIsWitty]

Definately go bad. The completely good guy looks super-gay.

Especially if he's in completely white clothes with cornrows and a sheriff mustache, with his pretty lady gloves on. :(

[Crying Baby Jesus]

someone told me theres a way to change your alingnment to one extreme to the other at the very beginning. Granted a 10 year old with brning eyes and horns would be cool I don't think you can.

[DamnthatDavid]

I wish they had more weapons... like a freaking shield, or at least 2 weapons, one in each hand.
And I want one of Twinblade's swords. >:

[Supafly345]

Hey David, can I borrow your game? I want to play biuld-a-fag at least once.

[HickMan]

:lol

[DamnthatDavid]

Sure, I still have a week before school starts. If you in Parkland, give me a call. Then you can play with I WANT MY FUCKING STAROCEAN CD!!! Fable, and creat all the fag warriors, or warlocks, you want.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

I'm gonna merry and kill miltipl familys.

[ThisIsWitty]

People keep bitching about how they can't keep on playing after they beat it.


They didn't sit through the credits.

[HickMan]

What happens if you don't sit through the credits?

[Captain Goodtimes]

You miss the opportunity to know that Art Hardchuck was a Tester for the game. :(

[ThisIsWitty]

What happens if you don't sit through the credits?

Well, you miss out on how many pizza's and takeout and shit they ordered.

And if you press Y it takes you to the loading screen. If you sit through all of the credits, however, you get to play as the same character. Down side is you can't get any more quests, as you forsaked them by taking the final one. And the entire back of the guild is blocked off by rocks.

You pretty much just get to level up, get past the demon doors, and Role Play. But other than that, might as well start a new character.

[EisigerBiskuit]

When you get married, hit on other people while naked, and then beat your wife senseless. They love that.

It's a lot better if you beat them while living in a "No Weapon" village.
More smacking :)

[Matt Harty]

This is the first game i've ever brought back to the store.

[HickMan]

:lol . I didn't pay money for it. So I could care less. :/ It's undoubtidly overhyped though.

[Captain Goodtimes]

Yeah right, it came with your paparazzi tickets didn't it?

[HickMan]

Yeah right, it came with your paparazzi tickets didn't it?

My brother is a big game fag so he buys almost all of the games we own.:(

I have connections for the free tickets.

[Anonymous]

I love this game :<

[ThisIsWitty]

There's an unbearable lack of secrets or anything at all that gives this game more longevity.

But I must admit it is fun to slaughter town after town and charge the new inhabitants tons of money to live in their rightful homes.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

smacking someones family around is great. Then you hak up mommy and leave her kids all alone outside.

Can you chop up the kiddies?

[Captain Goodtimes]

Try the Merlin Chop, a half-pound slice of Merlin served with steak fries, vege-table of the day, and a whipped dessert

[Crying Baby Jesus]

It just came today. Its funny because the Hero wars a belly shirt when hes a kid.
