I would insult you for playing WoW, but I just recently returned to City of Heroes (again) so I really don't have much room to talk.

Posted on 12-30-10 01:14 AM, in Fable III Link
I find great failures in each game in the series. But different failures each time. That, at least, is rather new. Fable was fun despite the horrific lack of challenge and linearity. Fable 2 has been amusing enough from time to time, but I greatly dislike the magic system.

My issue with Fable 3 begins with the COMPLETE REMOVAL OF THE GODDAMN GUI.

What the fuck.

No health bar, no fucking menu other than one small one that's only used for a few specific functions, no motherfucking health bar seriously people what the fuck!

Sorry. I haven't played enough to comment on other issues, although the removal of the menus leads to many of the others - like the irritating replacement for a sane levelup system, inability to view your own goddamn inventory, and the lack of a fucking health bar in a goddamn action RPG no I will not let that bit of retardery slide.

But I'm still having enough fun to justify the price I didn't pay. Ah, Christmas.


Another minor annoyance is the need to literally hold an NPC's hand for them to follow you. It was justified in an early mission where you have to lead a small child out of a cave - less so in another one where you have to escort a trader. I wouldn't care as much, but it slows you down noticeably.

You know, I go through my life trying to suppress the urge to punch people in the face. I have an anger issue. I don't want to hurt people, though.

Then these WBC assholes make me reconsider it. Every fucking time I hear them mentioned.

Hah.

Doesn't have me.

Has some other guy with the same first and last name, though. Lives in Florida apparently. Go figure.

Thanks for the heads-up though.

It's one of our favorite assholes. No, not me, that's six months from now.

I mean Clockworkz! And almost as many other names as I've used.

Although he hasn't been here since August of last year... Oh well. Maybe he'll see it anyway.

We got about five or six inches here.

It got cleared up quickly once it stopped, but some idiots were trying to remove it while it was snowing. Snowblower goes down the sidewalk, snowblower goes back, sidewalk's already covered again.

Had a sandwich there once. Didn't like it. Not really a fan of chicken sandwiches anyway.

Boycott irrelevant to me; none within walking distance anyway.

And Gurren, that's awesome.

The 3D can be disabled, y'know. Just a little switch on the system.

I'm getting a 3DS myself, but since none of that 3D shit works for me to begin with, I'm turning it off too. I'll mostly be using it for the assorted remarkes, new Paper Mario, and Virtual Console (Link's Awakening fuck yeah! Better be the DX version though)

Oh, it is. Starfox 64, too.

I'm just happier about Link's Awakening because every LA cart I've gotten has died - that and Oracle of Seasons. But only those two.

/me shrugs.

I like Fallout 3.

Bethesda seems to do a great job with creating a world and a rather poor job on gameplay. Thankfully, the most egregious mistakes can usually be fixed with mods.

I'm pretty sure he's right.

I remember having to double check when people made jokes about New Vegas using "a near 10 year old engine". lol

Huh. I stand corrected.

To defend you though. A lot of people mistake this because of the graphic comparison. Easily mistaken.

Less the graphics and more the different combat, magic, creature spawns (though in hindsight I see how that would work, I've modded Morrowind before...), (badly) animated faces, and largely pointless inclusion of physics.

But then, Ocarina of Time was built off of Super Mario 64's engine too, IIRC, just with considerable modification. So it really shouldn't surprise me.
