And Flamechu don't criticize the game because it isn't KOTOR. KOTOR is an awesome game and I'm about to beat it. But don't dis Fable when you were probably to lazy to look up info. on it, or even read the review.


Well said

OOh, I see. Still arguing that point?

Take apart the game mechanics. It started as an RPG - however, as it began to take form it took a LOT of elements from Adventure games. That is why I say it's a hybrid.

Its classification is subjective, but I have my reasons for calling it an action adventure game, for instance, the combat. The combat is very free-form, hack-and-slash style. Your ability to hit isn't based off some sort of dex. rating as it is in actual RPGs.



you can hack ppl/things up in diablo too
it's still a rpg

It doesn't prove jack. :P

(dumbing down the next part for you)

When you name something a certain type of thing you do so based off of characteristics it may have. Fable walks the line between action adventure game and rpg so closely that it really is a matter of opinion which one it actually is. Everyone can agree, though, that it is a hybrid. It has parts typical of rpgs and parts typical of action adventure games.

In either case, it's a moot point. I don't see where you're going with this.

Yes, but your ability to hit or miss in Diablo is based off of random calculations done by the game code. Hence, it's not a true hack and slash.

Okay, that's fine. I like Star Wars as much as the next guy, but I'm just sayin' to give Fable a chance before you go all fanboy on it.

Here's some advice.

Flamechu, give up.

Obbi, he's too biased to listen to reason. You might as well not even try.

Maybe, just maybe, I think that you think KoToR 2 is going to be better then fable because you are an obsessive starwars fanboy, thus being biased to anything else.

I will. I can and have kept up a logical, coherent calm opposing set of arguments against a person for days at a time, no matter how inconherent their arguments and views might be.

I do this all the time, it's regular routine for me. :P

Read the gamespot previews. In one of them it says, and I quote from memory, "... though it plays like an action adventure game."

Games are meant to be as they are. You don't make a game to apply to a label, but you make a label to apply to a game.

Oh Banshee Barron, It is too hard to reason with people here. My friends here talk about how everyone (almost everyone) Is biased towards Halo2, thinking that it is the only good game coming out, saying everything else will be horrible. I've given up a long time ago. But, I enjoy seeing different oppinions from different people. Sometimes it invokes Flame wars; sometimes it starts friendly arguments. Sitting back and watching is pretty much all we can do here. It is impossible to reason with someone who wishes not to hear what you are saying.

Funny, and here I thought they were one of the leading game reviewers. Are you being selective on who you decide is valid or not? Discounting any evidence (at least, evidence by your standard) that doesn't support your view?

Not to mention, even play the game, to make an educated opinion of how you feel about it.

1- i'm a star wars fan boy as you know and it's coming out the same time as KOTOR 2 so i only have money for one
2- it's a "poser", if you will, in video game land. being anounced and titled as an rpg but playing like an action/adventure game

ps- ratchet and clank is an action/adv. game w/ rpg eliments
doesn't mean it's an rpg

my show is on now so i'll be back in 30 min
if not i'll cheak up in the morning be fore school
