On PC building: what's a good mb/kit, and is there anything I need to know about the bios thing, or is that standard practice to preflash it? I have a 200gb hdd that I can't use all of due to, according to the instructions at least, the bios doesn't allow it (something to do with bits if I recall). I think PM claimed the trees thing didnt end up being feasible or some shite. I agree on the other cut features too, I wanted those, but I hope and pray they will be in Fable 2. I thought the horns/halo thing was kinda dumb, and I'm not saying I like this better than KOTOR in this egard, but I thought it was acceptable as a action game with RPG elements. Now I admit, you can up and change the otherway easily (with gold at the other chapel or through good deeds) but that's only if you chose to. I think killing Whisper, stealing that dudes (thunder?) morbid murderous girlfriend (the mayoress), sacrificing people to the chapel of whatever and in the end, killing your own sister to keep a powerful sword is pretty damn evil. I didn't know that about locked things, that kinda sucks. On PM: Yes, he himself with his promises and shit are the undoing of his games. One good thing about Windows, they'd idiot-o-fied the building process so as long as you can read instructions you can build one for the most part. Snag a ebay vid card maybe a week after some new insane model comes out for dirt cheap and you'll wind up with the most important bits of the PC like new, for a fraction of a new one. I'm one of those that prefer the real PC RPG concepts of evil, where you can be a subtle backstabbing theif I guess.īuilding a PC isn't as hard as you'd think, you could even get a barebones kit (minus the case), with the BIOS already flashed, and then just add in old HD, soundcard, old vid card, old PS into the old case and you're only down around 200 bucks for a good processor. I gave up trying to get my guy to show the magical tatoos he promises are possible (like Maze has), I was up to like 80K uses of magic and had nothing but a bright glow on my hands and light blue eyes) I kept myself from leveling till I hit witchwood almost, went back, and leveled all at once and went from teenager to 65 year old man, rofl.
If he'd delivered on the world aging (or at LEAST the characters who go through the game with you!), planting seeds and growing huge trees you could cut down for arrows later on, marriage with kids, etc. It's like walking through attack of the clones! too bad the new inhabitants were the exact same 4 character models. I'm still bitter about hours of world slaughtering towns and I turn good from killing bandits that kept attacking me =( I did like slaughtering the town, and then buying their homes and renting them out though. Its linear as shit and I'd consider it a Action game instead of a RPG. You don't really choose good or evil in Fable though, I tried my hardest to be evil, got the massive horns and glowing eyes, did one quest where I had to change my armor, and I was back at a halo (good) after all the murdering I did to be evil it got wiped to good. He also has this fun habit of leaving stuff disabled, but coded already, into the game, then sells you a 30$ expansion pack that does nothing but change some "disabled" to "enabled" Black and White had like 50% of the content enabled when it launched, the expansion simply enabled a few things and added the textures for the smaller pet. I have a major problem with P.M because he hyped his games up so much then fails to deliver anywhere near what he promised. It was based more (IMO) on what the reviewers said, and problems encountered with the bugginess and general unpolished state of the software.Click to expand.None it pretty much happens at the end of each map and you've seen pretty much how smart the pet is going to be. I don't think Alone in the Dark was panned/rejected for the review scores themselves, as you imply. I decide on whether a game sounds good depending on what is written about it from various sources, both "professional" and end users/consumers. I never check Metacritic, and I sure as hell don't base my purchase decisions off of other people's arbitrary numbers based off of meaningless scales. I personally don't put any stock into review scores at all. Uhh, you really shouldn't try speaking for everyone. If a game gets mediocre scores across the board (Alone in the Dark), we don't ignore it. Well, for a general idea of a game, I think we ALL look at reviews at one time or another.
