RBA Starblade posted:Fable 2's ending's really only good if you take the ending the bad guy was going to take to revive only your family and gently caress everyone else. I did it while using the same kind of gun he shoots you with as a kid even; basically just ended up exactly like him. Even bought his castle. Yeah but if you try to listen to his whole monologue another dude just shoots him.

I found Reaver rather hilarious in Fable 3. Of course it makes little sense the son/daughter of the Fable 2 Protagonist would have Reaver as one of their top advisers, not least of all because Reaver also nearly killed them for pure sadistic sport. I honestly liked Fable 3 more than most people it seems. I'd have to say the main thing dragging it down for me was the ending and the lack of clothing options. Fable 2 had so many character design choices and I loved it.

The total lack of the emotion wheel from Fable 2 was the greatest sin of Fable 3. Fable 2 had co-op pants making GBS threads if you both used the emotion wheel and failed the fart emote and it was hilarious, in Fable 3 you can only use like one or two emotes with a person at a time and its nowhere near as fun. Still,I did enjoy Fable 3 but 1 is still my favorite.

I think it's interesting they started with strict generic fantasy and then decided "hey. let's have a timeskip and move in a more steampunk direction." I wonder if that was planned.

I lived Reaver in 3 because he'd positioned himself in a situation where no matter what happened, he won. Child Labour Versus allowing children to go to School? Child Labour equals free workers for Reaver, School, well, who else will renovate that old pile of wood but Reaver's company? Either way he gets paid. Dredge the Lake? Reaver gets a lucrative silver mine. Leave the lake alone? Reaver's house if on the lake, he keeps a nicer view. No matter what, it either gives Reaver money directly, or allows his company to get contracts to make money. He is an evil genius, although his sidekick Pedophile Jonathan Ross was a bit too much. (He makes crude jokes about some of the monsters in his deranged harem, including the little goblin things that are Children stolen by monsters and turned into them)

That's one of the more randomly dark and hosed up parts of the series. Near the start of Fable 2 IIRC you find some poor father who has lost his son and you help him look for the kid only to find the boy was turned into one of the monsters. You just kind of walk away after the poor traumatized dad faints. What I loved about "Devil on Your Shoulder" Reaver was how he took credit no matter what you did. Keep the orphanage instead of accepting his proposal of turning it into a brothel? He will spin it so it was all a great humanitarian effort on his part.

I remember so many goons getting angry at Reaver in Fable 3, it was great. There was a weird sort of backlash against Stephen Fry in places for doing the voice though.

I didn't even hate Reaver back in 2, so I dunno, I was never someone who got super mad over him just blowing away lord evilman I forget the name of in 2, him coming back in 3 as even more poo poo eating dastardly than before made me happy.

Some patch moved 3/4 of my poo poo into online storage where it can't be accessed or sold, so I guess I played Grand Theft Afghanistan for no reason. I've got MGSV on the 360 and haven't even played it yet. If I don't care about doing anything online with the game, if I can avoid a patch when I install, should i?

Also because we've broken the economy so hard we can afford to make it rain. "What's that? We need to raise 3 million gold for the war effort? Here 4 mil, have fun, I've been renting this whole loving city out from under you all since I was twelve, I'm loaded!" Also, I've just beaten the Hero 30 mode on Hald Minue Hero 1 on steam. Evil Lord 30 is just bullshit though. "Here, clean out all these 9 castles and villages, no route to the boss castle to end the level until your done, and by the end of the route you will have long been left behind by the Goddess Statues as you will have no prayer of getting enough money to turn back time enough times to win!" I enjoyed the base game, but that is just garbage. BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 16:07 on Feb 4, 2017 |

The majoriry of half minute heroes bonus modes are terrible. Hero 3 was annoying hard on a mushy controller and hero 300 was just way way too long for a game where you cant save in level.

FactsAreUseless posted:Oh no, Far Cry has lots and lots of story. It's just not uh... good. Some parts of 3 were good. Vaz the villain was pretty great and unsettling. A lot of the story is definitely not presented well, but Jason Brody has an actual arc. It didn't work so much in cutscenes, but in play as a FPS, your character is extremely physical and tangible within the world which is grounding. From there, watching him go from a kid way over is head to a bloodthirsty god of war as depicted by the increase in your power from unlockables attacks and arms and armaments, and especially through his increasingly unhinged voice acting through game. Pity that most of the cutscenes are pretty crap though.

The lack of control of other party members in Final Fantasy 13 didn't bother me for most of the game but in some of the more difficult battles it would have been good to be able to pause the game and give other characters commands. Also, gently caress the crafting system. I wouldn't have minded messing around with it but I wasn't going to do all that money grinding and I had no access to cheats.

While that's true, I really liked climbing up to one of the higher mountains on the south island, getting on a hang glider, and just seeing how far I could go. I think a bit of the issue with Far Cry 3 was being basically two different games stapled together - one game about roaming around a large environment more or less freely, and the other being a series of linear set pieces and cut scenes - and neither one quite stands on its own.

That reminds me of Tomb Raider, the most 7/10 game I've ever played. You take one Uncharted clone, but after you shoot everyone you can play the game like a boring collectathon, just picking poo poo up. Add in some half-baked RPG mechanics and the most cliched story on Earth and you'll get this extremely average game. Of all the games ever made, this is one of them.

The story was subpar and your companion were complete nonentities, but poping up from cover for a headshot, or getting bum rushed and retreating while bowing felt so right.
