XBox luvin': Fable

SPOOFE · Post by **SPOOFE** » 2004-09-15 12:03am

I think that people that give a damn about the differences between PC and console games really need to grow up.

But hey, that's just me. Maybe some people find attacking a particular game to be a game in and of itself.

Anyway, yes... Fable. Good stuff. The gaming world has had a lack of RPG's (aside from Final Fantasy and its Japanese derivatives) for a while... Morrowind was great, but it's time for something new.

And what kind of moron compares an RPG to an action game, anyway?

Blame Xbox cultists; noone ever said PC games were better, Xboxers just have penis envy, and constantly harp on every game thats supposed to be good. (note the Halo effect)

That'll happen when the only decent game on the console for years is a fps that can best be described as 'bad'. I'm a console whore (someone please make a ut2k4 mod for Dynasty Warriors so I can have proper netplay etc) but honestly.

And guess what? The system I'm using now is almost three years old, it plays better games than an Xbox, and I never have to 'worry about system specs' either, because there are things called 'detail settings'. I can play Doom3 on regular detail on a three year old machine, no tweaking, no overclocking. Consolers can say what they want about consoles, but lying about system life is low. Yes, consoles tend to have better coding and thus later games are better, but so what? I can play Doom3 and I imagine HL2, so thats the issue? BAH I say, BAH.

That's a stupid and useless way to attempt to appear "geeky" and "justify" oneself, if you really cared you just wouldn't buy it, as MS loses even more money when their products are just sit there on the shelves, so why not just admit liking it, it's not like you are going to be disgraced or anything, except, perhaps, on the eye of some of the more extremist geeks.

What a great year for Xbox gamers; Fable, Halo 2, Burnout 3 and even KOTOR 2 is aiming for December. Life is good.

Time matters.

For some it's a very small window.

Eeeh, my peeve with the XBOX is totally unrelated to its games. It's the fact that it's built using mostly stock parts and runs a Microsoft OS. There's zero reason, beyond moneygrubbing, for its games to be exclusive. Other consoles have an excuse, they're not made by the people who wrote Windows.

So because it's a Microsoft product they're not allowed to be exclusive? That makes no sense at all.

Literally at certain points are the only time some women put out...it's only a couple but they are there. Also you have to use the wooing technique to get them into bed for most.

Well, I married the mayor of Bowersworth; do you know when the right time is to get her?

I've got my hero married to two women in two different towns and I've managed to get them both into bed at least once.

I'm still trying to figure out what I did that's got most of the local female population popping up hearts whenever I walk into the room.

Reputation.

Also if you're playing good, it helps a lot.

Also wearing cool looking gear raises your attractive level.

You have to worry about fashion in this game?

Cthulhu-chan · Post by **Cthulhu-chan** » 2004-09-16 05:43am

Do you have to? No, but if you want to persue the "woman (or man) of your dreams," appearance is very important. As are lots of gifts and flirting.

Not really.

The better the armor, almost equals better the attractiveness.

Still too woo a chick in this game is harder then real life.

Okay.. I'm not as attracted to the game now. Why do you have to get married and woo your wife?

Meh, every X-Box game worth a damn will come out on PC sooner or later- and it'll look better. That's the nature of the universe.

WTF? I heard this game described as "dark fantasy". It sounds more like a dating sim.
