How do you know you dislike it if you haven't even read up on 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


So that means you dislike it? If lets say I only have money for either pie or pizza, and I choose pizza, does that mean I dislike pie?


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


You dislike it because the most broad, general description of it, you feel, isn't accurate?


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


Doesn't mean it's a pure action/adventure, either.


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


Indeed.

And that makes a difference?

Again, in case you didn't understand it the first time, you don't build a game around a genre. You apply a genre to a game. If there is no name that describes it perfectly, you make a decision on which one does it the best. It does NOT mean it's a "poser." It is as it is. The name followed.

Flamechu, you have a ridiculous argument if you don't like Fable simply because it doesn't have a category to fall in.

it does
but me and Obbi are debating which one it falls under
aparently you haven't been paying attention

Obbi
if it's avritised as a rpg and stated(in titles of articles or articels themslevs) as a rpg then it's classified as a rpg

it could be 51%rpg/49% action/adv.
it would still be a rpg

There's no way to really objectively say which it is. It's subjective. If you don't understand what that means, http://www.yourdictionary.com.

And, as far as the debate goes, what is your point by all this?

And, lets say you were successful, what would this show? Why did you bother in the first place?

So far you haven't said a thing about how Fable plays as a game. It's only been about what other people have called it.

1- is there a -blam!- time that your not on here
2- when ppl started fable topics i would go in and annoy ppl by saying
KOTOR 2, KOTOR 2,...
3- my fan boy side wants to think that kotor 2 will be better
(for me personally)
4- but i know for a fact that the sales for fable will most likely be better

but like i said
i'm just trying to get accross that fable is at least 51%rpg



i'm going to school now so i'll cheak on this topic when i get home

You're not doing it very well. You can't put a numerical value on "how much like" an RPG Fable is.

fable's a rpg


It's a hybrid. It's an adventure game at heart, with evolving character statistics making up for the rpg portion.

hy·brid
n.

1. Genetics The offspring of genetically dissimilar parents or stock, especially the offspring produced by breeding plants or animals of different varieties, species, or races.

2. a. Something of mixed origin or composition. b. Something, such as a computer or power plant, having two kinds of components that produce the same or similar results.

3. A word whose elements are derived from different languages.

note that no reference is made to any particular ratio of the items that compose the hybrid.

again, read the definition. then ask yourself "What does it matter if it's 51% or 1% RPG?" then ask yourself "What was I arguing?"

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.


my opinion is that it is a rpg

Your counter argument is that you have an opinion of something - an opinion you can't support with anything other than more opinionative statements.

Yes it will. You can get married either -blam!- or straight, and can have censored sex.
