Who said I was playing Fable II solely for the story? I've had it a couple days, and there's fun in just messing with the economy and seeing what happens. In the space it took a chunk of folks to breeze through the main quest and complain about the length of the game, I was still in Bowerstone...

Through, no. I'm switching between it and some other new releases (Saints Row 2, Fable II, hoping to get Red Alert 3 tomorrow). Between what I've played, and what I've read, watched and heard for the last several months, I think I've got a pretty good hold of it. But if something...

Really? Really? Off the top of my head I can think of a few dozen or so that trump it in that department.

Actually, if I remember correctly the robots are already shut down when you get there. But after you turn the power back on to do some other stuff in the base, they all activate.

I always wondered about the folks who chose the Birth Signs like 'The Serpent' or 'The Tower' because they provided neat little single-use-a-day abilities. Typically those abilities were loaded with negatives, and in fact weren't even as useful as some of the stuff you could buy from a decent...

So, Contract Killer is the evil version of the 'kill so-and-so and they'll have an ear on their corpse you can sell' good perk. I thought the original was stupid, but at least before today I thought it was unique. Why do they keep trying to hard to make sure both evil and good (or...

[spoiler:af2db28fff]Y'know, I have to ask; Why? Why would the scientist be looking to reverse the ant's growth? I remember back in the previous games people mentioning the odd Brahmin born with only one head and thinking that to be weird. Folks have grown up for generations with these...

Well yeah, of course they are. Cheapest console, and they're being marketed almost exclusively towards the casual gaming sector. Of which there are craploads over in both Japan and America nowadays. Japan as a whole, a lot of research is showing, is moving more towards casual 'pick up, play...

Edit: Messed up, move down one

Oh yeah, that's not generalizing at all. There are just as many grown douches as there are spoiled 13 year olds. And then the occasional normal person. Rarely. Who is then chased off with digital torches and pitchforks.

Well, it's obvious he's not the 'look deeper into what made a game series, and defined it' type. His main reaction to the mini-games was a yearning to do yet more shooting.

He has a point about the Morrowind/Oblivion thing, though. I came into the TES series on Morrowind, so I know what was lost with Oblivion's development. But when I try to explain it to some of my friends, those who came in on Oblivion and consider Morrowind a giant step backwards, I'm...

Oh, I love video games. But when the game is (supposedly) running with an improved version of the much-hyped Radiant A.I., I'd like for the characters to at least be as consistent and stable as those from...say...Gothic. Which shouldn't be too awful hard. When you consider the exact same...

Not hard to get a feel for it, actually. Especially if there are specific things from an older game (Oblivion) by the same company (Bethesda) that you don't like, and don't want touching a Fallout experience. When a guy is running around scared out of his wits, then you click on him and he...

Just because we haven't played the game doesn't mean we're bashing it 'unfairly'. Since it's been pirated, we've had multiple video feeds, videos on Youtube and other places to see how it's played, what new locations look like, animation and A.I., etc. And it's not 'unfair' to note that...

Click on the link, and skip to 'Behemoth Rampage', they talk about how there is a hierarchy to the Super Mutants, and the older they get the stupider (they actually use that word) they get. The Behemoths are 'biggest and stupidest', you can imagine they've been around for a long time. There...

They don't keep growing, and turn into enormous mindless ogres though. At least, they didn't until now. And we know of at least one Super Mutant who still was quite intelligent years and years later.

Wherein we will find out that the radiation the standard wasteland dweller deals with every day at low levels has started to make some remarkable changes. Some folks are slightly furrier, others have gold skin, others are more reptilian... In other parts of the world, folks somehow ended up...

Super Mutants 'get stupider' as they age? What? And they grow bigger and turn into Behemoths?! What the hell is this? Stop raping the series! Please! *Starts crying along with Stan and Kyle*
