    #1 game? Are you kidding? What about Halo 2 and Half-Life 2?!

    Fable looks damn good, but still. Nothing can touch the two big H's.

    DARN RIGHT! Seriously, I would play Halo 2 before anything.

    i'd take HL2 over Halo2 any day. i seriously dislike console FPS's, even though Halo was enjoyable after a fashion.

    My thing is, is that I love Morrowind. I love Kingdom Hearts. And I love anime-inspired/styled graphics.

    So for me, this thing just PWNS me.

    HL2 has got me excited.

    Halo 2 has got me excited.

    But the ability to do ANYTHING I WANT, WHENEVER I WANT, and have it be like a REAL WORLD to the point where if my sword slashes a blade of grass one day- the next day that blade will still be cut- that I just must love it.

    They took out the cut grass and have it the same way the next day feature.

    I still want Fable though.

    define 'weirdest things'

    RPGs aren't weird things to get excited over any more than FPSs or RTSs are. Look at how many people are excited over WoW or HL2.

    I just, for the last four months, assumed it was coming around September 20th. Maybe it can come a bit earlier now? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->


    It does look exciting (as long as the using gestures thing isn't to obtuse), I hope my Xbox can run it.

    <span style='font-size:2pt;line-height:100%'>[As funny as that sounds, my Xbox has been crapping out on me a bit as of late - note that my Xbox is from December 27th, 2001 - And some games don't like to work. I think it's how they're encoded - since my Halo which is scratched to Hell, sent to Pluto and returned by the USPS works fine; but Morrowind and Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow do not. Some games like Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance and GTA3/VC work if I knock the CD-tray a round a bit. ]</span>

    And, in my opinion, it's much better to relax in a big fluffy chair with some snacks and play an RPG than to huddle over a keyboard sitting upright or slouched over. They're just something that makes you want to sit infront of a TV <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .



    UltimaGecko demands a full review! UltimaGecko demands everyone uses third person speech! UltimaGecko demands that someone find his sheets and pillowcase for his dorm room which he needs by tommorow!

    No they didn't. Moneleux said that every time he has his char go to sleep, he first makes a mark outside of his home, and he's at 37.

    You know, in Animal Crossing, when you plant a tree, it takes a few days to grow! Then, when you cut it down, it doesn't come back! Ever! ^_^

    Can you walk into a school or church in your underwear and procede to decapitate small children while flipping them the bird in Animal Crossing?


    I don't think so.

    I don't think you can get married and have kids either...but maybe I'm just missing a lot from Animal Crossing.



    [Oh, and: Let's all bash the Xbox, because it was the cool thing to do 3 years ago! Yea!

    "The Xbox weightses as much as a brick!!! Taking into account solely its apperance and weight: It sucks!"]


    I'm just looking forward to the fact it'll be something for me to do during September/October since at university the pings are worse than a papercup-and-string telephone. Hopefully my roommate isn't obsessed with MTV or anything else that bites into my TV time....bah to (most) pop culture.



    Lots of exploration + real free form gameplay (main quest? pffft, I'm off to punt chickens and break stuff) + artistic graphics + dynamic (although, a bit more analog since the initial announcement) character development + realistic life cycles for the citizens (non-existant in Morrowind, and something I hope is implemented nicely) + ability to own towns and property + ability to kill anyone + good/evil selection (which is much more subtle than KotOR, apparently) + chicken punting + innovative leveling system - kind of subpar initial plot (Oh no, my family's been killed - hopefully it gets better) - the giggling women are a bit annoying, hopefully that was just that one video = My $50


    ...I call it the Gekquation...or something.

    Wow that's surprising to me - I was speaking with my friend (who shall remain nameless) who works as a paid playtester at Lionhead just the other day and he said they were still having trouble making an actual game out of Fable. Then again, that's a common syndrome with Molyneux's creations - amazing concepts, amazing worlds...but where does the actual game come in? :o I'm sure it will be fantastic anyway, because ultimately Molyneux makes great games. Or rather, great experiments :D

    heh, i'm excited about this one...

    i'm not a HUGE rpg fan, but this one caught my attention. it ALMOST drove me to buy an Xbox, but alas, i have no money.

    prolly the near future when the price goes down i'll get a bundle or something <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I haven't heard of fable and don't have an ex-box... but from the screenshots it looks like a cross between gothic and summoner... so Q, if this is your type of game, you should check those two out if you haven't already =P
  • GadzukoGadzuko Join Date: 2002-12-26 Member: 11556Members, Constellation
    Good, this means there won't be hordes of angry people in my store clamoring for their Fable and demanding to know why it was pushed back again. Release day is going to suck though.

    Well hey, if he can't make a game out of it maybe he's no good at game making. Or something.

    Long story short, my friend has an X-Box and cats. I shall move my bed to his house.

    I've actually wanted to get my hands on Gothic 2, but Summoner I got back when it first came out on PC. In fact, its to my left right now.

    BTW- yes, the story does get better from "They killed my parents". I promise.

    Uh, STALKER.

    So far the only RPGs I've been able to REALLY get into as deep as I do with first-person-shooters are Deus Ex and Final Fantasy VII.
  • AlignAlign Remain Calm Join Date: 2002-11-02 Member: 5216Forum Moderators, Constellation
    Except theres no magic in stalker, and its first-person, and your character looks doesn't change depending on your alignment, and scars from battles stay with you in Fable, and you can't for example put on a dress and fart in someones general direction(which you most certainly can in Fable) or walk around with a sneer on your face, or smile to yourself as the villagers gasp as you walk past with your most evil clothing. Etcetera.
