Ignorant-ass 'bamas. X-box is just as capable of being a platform for a decent RPG as the PC. There is no reason why a game like Fallout wouldn't work on the X-box. And nothing I have heard said the game will be "linear and consolish."

I dare say you boys have had a heaping helping of Haterade this evening.

too expensive? why would I buy an X-bpx for one game?

Maybe you guys looked at a site with them already and are cached.

A fresh X-box is cheaper than a new graphics card. Consoles are far less expensive than PCs even if you buy a whole new one every two or three years.

Besides, it's not just one game. You're welcome to expand your horizons. Halo 2, Jade Empire, and a whole slew of games that are already out (like Ninja Gaiden) might be fun - if you give them a chance. Or just hate on other people having fun.

Way too many people on this board hate on games that they've never even played. I can't count how many times I've seen people say that a game sucks because it's 3D or because it "lacks gameplay." Lacks gameplay is what people say when they can't think of any actual criticism; if the game is over too quickly, fine; if the controls are clumsy and impossible to change, fine; if the AI is retarded, fine; but to make a general statement like "lacks gameplay" is just a supercilious way of saying "it sucks because I say so and there."

I'm optimistic about Fable. PM has made mistakes - I didn't really like how dumb the villagers were in B&W - but he's got good ideas, and I'd like to see how this one plays out.

but my PC isn't just a gaming machine. I also use it to post at Poly

Console games tend to be made for little kids. Very amatuerish.

As for this game, if it's any good they will release it for the PC. So I'll wait and see.

Is this already out for xbox?

[bipolarbear]

yes it is, I'M DEFINITELY GETTING IT!!!!!!

[bipolarbear]

Is the combat turn based or what?

I don't think for a moment that console games are made for little kids. Back in the day it was true, but the gamers with the big bucks are older now, and able to handle more advanced and mature games. And if anything is amatuerish, it's PC games, where anybody with a computer and a C compiler can crap out a piece of ****. Consoles since the NES have had standards to weed out the worst of the worst.

I would agree though that PCs have more functionality. but I've grown tired of buying new computers and upgrading for hundreds and even thousands of dollars. Once you have your base functionality, your gaming dollars are probably better spent on consoles.

Consoles are more stable, effectively immune to viruses, have fewer headaches with multiplaying, all for less than a comparable PC. While they're not for everybody, I'd say that they do deserve a look, especially if you haven't looked at the latest generation.

But to each their own. I'm sorry if I seem overly harsh Diss, I just get annoyed by some of the attitudes I see. I was a hater on consoles for a while, but the X-box really changed my views on them. And you're right, any good idea is likely to end up on the PC in the end.

I think it's supposed to be real time, but with certain features to slow it down. An interview with PM I saw on Tech TV had him saying that there would be spells you could cast to get a sort of bullet time action going on.

I think it will be simple enough for most people to handle, except in the boss fights, without magic. This isn't intended as an action game.

That's total bull****. Just look at games like Fallout: Botherhood of Steele. There is no standard to weed out the worst of the worst.

I'll make this easy. Games I like to play are:

civ3, smac, Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate/Infinity games.

Are any of these games on console? No.

Games I may possibly play in the future. World of Warcraft, Everquest 2. Are they on console?

the only games that have been on X-box I would play are Morrowind (which I grew bored of) and KOTOR. But I have already played the PC versions.

Is it any surprise that, being someone who only owns a PC, that all of the favorite games you like to play are on the PC?

It's what you have, it's what you play, it'll be where all the favorite games you play are at...
