EDIT: I don't think I count as a judge anymore, considering that I'm not in this. So my score were removed.

Good job, though.

Sweet.

I have no idea how anybody codes any of this stuff. I can more or less mess around with my own layout, but it still takes at least an hour to find out what's what.

Posted on 08-21-10 12:41 AM, in Fable III Link
No, you did not misread the title of this thread. The game is making a comeback, and with a few new twists.






Now, I am a huge fan of the Fable series. This time around, however, things are quite different. As implied in the two videos, you no longer simply run around Albion to protect it--you rule it. Yes, the Hero of the story becomes King/Queen of Albion halfway through the game, leaving a multitude of possibilities. The first half of the game is building yourself up in the world, slowly gaining followers, a new aspect of the game. As you gain these followers, they will begin asking you to do things if you become King/Queen, such as abolish child labor. The possibilities are seemingly endless with this new addition to the series.

But, if that wasn't enough, an entire new country has been added to the game. No longer stuck in Albion, at one point in the game, you head off to a land by the name of Aurora to complete several quests. In Aurora, your mentor loses his sight to the Shadow Court, who appear to make a huge comeback with actual story in this game.

Now, besides the new land and becoming ruler, what makes this game any different? I'll tell you.

The weapon system--obsolete and childish in the first two games. You buy an excellent weapon, augment it, and then never get a new one. Same for Fable 3, right? Wrong. While your Hero will still be able to buy and find new weapons in various shops and areas, you are given four new weapons at the beginning of the game. These weapons are something entirely new to any gameplay system. Instead of buying a new weapon and using up its augments, these weapons will literally change in strength and appearance due to how your Hero fights. Evil? Your sword will run will blood down its black blade. Pure? Expect a shining weapon in holy light. But that isn't all. Your weapons will also change by what magic you use the most, and by what creatures you kill the most. Your sword/axe/whatever will change in texture, shape and color depending on all of these things, and many more. At the end of the game, there is a very rare chance that two swords will ever be the same.

Okay, so there are new weapons. Big deal, every game has new weapons. But you are forgetting about Will. Will, the use of magic, makes a comeback in an interesting way. In the original Fable, your Will was flawless. It was a fluid transition from smashing your hand to the ground to use a full level Enflame to swinging the Sword of Aeons to hack up any creature daring enough to enter your proximity. In Fable 2, things changed. The Will mechanics were mediocre at best. If you wanted to cast a full level spell, be ready to take half of your health while charging the bad boy up. Sure, you could level one spells with the click of a button, but what damage is that really doing? There was barely any kind of stopping power in that game.

Now, in Fable 3, Will makes an extremely magnificent return. Your character is no longer able to control Will internally, but along your journey, they will find various gauntlets that channel a specific magic. Lightning gauntlets shoot a lightning spell, and Fire does the same--all in one click of a button. If you want to do an extremely large area attack, a tiny bit of charging is necessary, but nowhere near as much as in Fable 2. However, a Hero can only leave their home with 2 gauntlets at a time. At first, this seems like a big letdown. Why would anyone only leave the house with their air and fire gauntlets, when there are so many more possibilities in taking them all? Well, I have one word for you--combinations. Yes, for the first time in Fable, two spells can be merged into one lethal and extreme attack. Air and Fire? Throw them long distances, burning the entire way. The combinations are amazing.

While all of this seems cool, the fluidity of battle was lost when Fable 2 came out, and the original was even a little rusty, especially when it came to a ranged attack. Now, in Fable 3, fluidity is battle. Send a blast of lightning at the ground to stun your enemies, and in the same second slash them to bits. A wolf sneaking up from behind? No problem. A gunshot over the shoulder in mid sword swing can handle that. This combat design is amazing, made to let a character feel in control of everything while enemies are still threatening to drop your health. Almost makes you tear up and think of the Guildmaster. "Your health is low. Surely you have some potions".

To give you a feeling for the combat, here is a video that takes place a third of the way through the game.



Oh, did I forget the wings? That's right, wings are a part of your character, by choice, once you become good or evil enough. During a flourish, as shown in the video, your wings show up regardless. And are they badass.

For those that followed the series, the Minions are back, gargoyle form. But does this Sentinel remind you of someone? A certain Jack of Blades, maybe?

With the way the human body is built, having one's feet backwards is a physical mess, and they would fall flat on their face. Swapped hands, however, effects in no such way. Things would be difficult at first, but that is something adaptable. Hands.

A man walks into your house and hands you a gun. He gives you the option of murdering you entire family, pets included, and getting away with out getting caught or committing suicide. Which would you choose? And no, you can't shoot him.

Not to sound cliche, but world peace. I'm tired of everyone being an asshole to everyone else because they feel something is owed to them. World peace would solve so much more than just war and crimes.

If you were the president, what would you do differently?

Granted, but they are tiny and cannot lift your weight, let alone a bagel.

I wish for Red Bull, because it gives your functional wings!

Well, with that new knowledge, then yeah, it sounds like a great idea. However, this would all be up to Xeo and DarkSlaya. Xeo because this is his board, and DS because while he's a great tech, I doubt he wants to keep rewriting things.

Sidenote, the poll is showing up green for me. Maybe it's the theme that you're using? Lol. Who knows

Finished the Scott Pilgrim series a while ago, along with the Transmetropolitan series up to book four. I must say, I love the character Spider Jerusalem. As a matter of fact, I love this series, and I highly recommend it to everyone. Thanks to Urban for lending me both of these series.

Currently, I am reading The Doppleganger Chronicles: The First Escape. I picked it up at a book fair a while back and thought it looked interesting, but the reading level is on the low side. It has an interesting layout, though. The novel is composed of both comic and regular printed text. On the left, you may have a comic page, and then the story continues in text form on the next three pages before you have two more pages of comics. It's interesting. I'll let you know how the book itself is once I finish.

Posted on 08-21-10 09:23 AM, in Currently watching? Link
I'm almost all caught up on Naruto Shippuden, and I started watching Bleach, as well. Bleach doesn't seem to be a bad show so far. I've watched a few episodes before (and completely at random, so I have no idea when in the series it is) and I like the premise.

Anyone have any anime that are similar to these? I would like to start watching more, but I don't know where to find any

So you think it's okay to make fun of Batman? cause if so you have no place in this conversation and can back off right now. I may not like everything he does to Robin but he is bad ass, how can you be against that?
