FABLE 2 :bow

[duckman2000]

It looks good enough, and is more stylish than anything else. The main distraction right now seems to be the rather brutal pop-in, but whatever. I'm not expecting anything that even approaches technological perfection from this, and that's fine.

even if you ignored all the hype and promises by peter, fable 1 ended up being a very mediocre action RPG.  the combat was awful and the whole 'choices' thing was too binary for me to have any interest in it.  the game was bleh.  

 

Can you get the Sony cock out your mouth for just one post?  I hope they are really paying you but then again, if you are really good at something, you don't do it for free.

i played it on PC.  oblivion was better in just about every way.  and even oblivion's combat was god awful.

They toned down the bloom, so I am happy with the visuals.

I agree, the foliage looks awesome, and is probably the best we've seen this generation.

Well, you didn't need to rush through it for it to seem short. I had everything I wanted at basically max level, did everything the game would let me except the stuff like getting married and such, and finished it in probably less than 10 hours.

I just don't get it. I easily spent 3 or 4 hours just messing around before the first village was burned.

Oblivion was also your common uninspired, dorkster fantasy Americana with all the credibility of a renaissance festival invaded by Live fantasy roleplaying dorks. It also packed some of the lamest and most awkward combat seen this generation. But hey, it had Unicorns! Fable, in contrast, succeeded in the most important aspect, which was delivering a world that felt like something ripped straight from the pages of old folklore and fairy tales, and seemed designed as opposed to engineered.

Oblivion was a poor showing for the Elder Scrolls series.  Morrowind is like, 14 Billion times better.

Loved Oblivion, I dont get the hate. One of my favorite games of all-time

if oblivion's world was that of uninspired renaissance festival dorks, fable's is the saturday morning cartoon adaptation of uninspired renaissance festival dorks.  neither were worth a damn. 

but hey, at least oblivion had the assassin guild quest line.  that was the only part of oblivion really worth playing and it was better than the whole of fable.

I liked Oblivion as well, but I still think it was a poor follow up to Morrowind.

I should also add that I needed to put in many, many mods in order to make Oblivion more playable.

Wow, the foliage looks better than Uncharted's!

Booted up Fable 1 on my 360...runs like ass. Thinking about busting out the old Xbox to play it on instead.

Spend the 1200pts and just buy it

i don't want to bring other games into an argument.  they look nice and have a cool style to them, but i think 'amazing' or 'best foliage on consoles' is stretching it.  

I think what nano means is that the foliage actually seems to be spread out pretty realistically.  It doesn't look like they just use some tool to randomly scatter leaves and bushes like every other game that has a lot of foliage.  The different flower species are in rows together next to gravestones and doors and the trees are put in logical places rather than just packed together to be walls so that the player doesn't get lost.  This is the only game really where the plants are in any way interesting.
