Fable

[Apocalypse]

I have access to an Xbox and all my favorite games 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...

No, it's based off genres I like. I like TBS games and RPG's.

And yes I have tried other games. I mentioned I tried Doom2. It just didn't interest me very much. I have also played Halo for about 1 hour.

I know people who played Civ for an hour and didn't like it. Mostly because instead of approaching the game with a mindset of trying to enjoy it, they decided ahead of time that it would be boring. They sit down to a TBS judging it on FPS standards and come away disappointed.

I think that most games have merit. Some get old quicker than others, but the real reason people don't like games is because they decide ahead of time they won't like it. There are excellent games in all genres that anybody who wants to have fun will enjoy. Y'all see, video games are like girls. Folks might claim to prefer personality to T&A, but in reality, real men will be just as happy with a vapid big tittied slut as a poetic intellectual chick. It's just that you'll like them for different reasons.

I have an open mind. I have liked console games. They just didn't really compare to their PC counterparts.

Bah humbug

[Apocalypse]

Don't be sad - get glad!

Mark my words: this game will suck. I feel it in my bones. The only thing they talk about are the gimmicks...

I've had a sneaking suspicion recently as well -- mainly when they chopped off parts of the game and simplified it. It smells like MOO3 to me.

Unlike MOO3, however, Molnieux isn't the type of designer who is going to be 'rushed' by the publisher. He's got a big enough name to say sod off. Black and White may not have been that great of a game, but it didn't seem rushed in anyway.

Anyway, I'm REALLY looking forward to this. Between this, Doom3, Half Life 2, KOTOR2, and Jade Empire (which I think will be the best X-Box game of the year) I'll be spending a good amount on my X-Box .

Halo 2! Halo 2!

[Imran Siddiqui]

Meh... Halo 2 is on the bottom of the list I've stated. I played Halo 1 - no big deal, at least compared to Half Life or KOTOR.

There's a BIG Fable video on the new Xbox demo disc from the official Xbox magazine (which is a worthless POS publication by the way). The video makes the game at least look pretty kick ass.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Thanks for pointing it out, Bustamike. JESUS, this game looks AMAZING! The video shows off a lot of combat (and the boast circle is pretty cool). And the interaction with villagers is utterly amazing. People remember if you were flirting with them before. If you run around with just your underwear people laugh at you and notice that you are barely dressed. It's incredible how much people seem to remember about you.

Arcanum and even Morrowind had this to some extent.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Not even close to the same level. You have to see it (and I've played both Arcanum and Morrowind). I mean a lot of this stuff happens just walking by other people (you don't have to engage them in conversation) which makes the world seem more 'real' and much more living. I mean other games make the claim that the world goes on without you, but from the movie I've seen of 'Fable' no game comes close to how it does it.
