Words Of Wisdom on 20 November 2008
| Dodece said: I would say I am actually shocked by all his bitching, and moaning about the game. I have come to expect the ranting about unoriginality, or more to the point repetitive game play. Honestly Fable 2 should actually be his definition of a good game. A game that follows almost no conventions, and actually gives the player the option to go off on some deluded tear. His gripes actually come across more as stretches then actual consternation. The problem is he obsesses about trivial character customization options that are not actually relevant, but are merely fun little diversions. Which is actually more like bonus material then main line content. The main story is short, but that does not necessarily mean the side quests are not worth doing either. In fact most of the side quests are entertaining in their own right not necessarily tedious fetch quests, or even more tedious kill ten of these creatures quests. I found the review to be well written, but sadly misinformed had he really given the game a chance he might have actually found the underlying depth. Sexual bigamy, bending, homosexuality, necrophilia, prostitution, and banging a stranger in a distraught villagers house, as they scream at you to get out, as they chase you through the streets with a pistol in hand. That is all before you get to the pregnancy angle, and the sexually transmitted diseases. All his problems with the game could be summed up as being due to a lack of creativity. Ditch the damn dog, go anorexic, do not get married, and level as you want. Which despite what he says is actually pretty even handed. He says magic, and I say use the damned pistol. A lot of bitching about shit nobody forced him do anyway. |
I get the feeling you're looking for something more than a few minutes of entertainment from these reviews.
I think that makes you very silly.
