Fable is the type of RPG that begs not to be rushed. There is a staggering amount of content to dive into when first starting the game. The opening village of Oakvale simply lets you run around aimlessly, chat with people and play with the chickens, should you wish to do that instead of continuing on with your quest of saving Alb
Throughout the marketing leading up to Death Stranding 's release, and within the game itself, Kojima Productions made it perfectly clear that the themes of the narrative are meant to be focused around making connections. In this case, it comes off as strange that players are told to leave the Mules behind due to them becoming addicted to delivering and impulsively trying to steal cargo. Players really should be given the option to help at least these people by taking them back to a city and working them through their addiction before transitioning them towards reintegrating into soci
Gift-giving is a concept central to Fable. Much of the player's experience relies on relationships and how they tie into their morality level. Sure, you can burp in front of a potential romantic partner, but you can also give them a g
While Sony's first-party titles were never likely to show up at E3, some of the PlayStation exclusives being developed by third-party studios were in with an outside chance. With Square Enix having already announced all of its upcoming Dragon Quest titles ahead of E3, in fact, some were expecting news on either Final Fantasy XVI or Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 at some point during the developer's E3 presentation just to fill the v
Fans have been clamoring for a true sequel to Mario's debut outing on the Switch for years now, but, as of the moment, Nintendo has remained tight-lipped regarding the future of everybody's favorite Italian plumber. An announcement at E3 2021 was always unlikely, but, with a new version of the Switch seemingly imminent , it could still happen before the year is
I’d like to go back to what I mentioned at the beginning of this piece. A month and a bit into Genshin and I’m still signing in on the regular. I’m dying for another Elemental Crucible-esque event where I can partner with random players and boot around some hilichurls in all-out cooperative mayhem. I know I can play the rest of the game in co-op, but again — I like the single-player parts being single-player. That’s a great thing about Genshin — it recognizes that balance between experiencing a story on your own and exploring the world around it with other people. I think that would be great for Fable in particular — maybe Bowerstone is an MMO-esque hub where you can flick a switch and all of a sudden, boom! Marketplace, flog your trinkets and bullshit for coin, the more you rip people off the better. Flick the switch back and all of a sudden, boom! NPCs are the only people bothering you, and you can just ignore them if you w
With this in mind, news regarding either the Diamond & Pearl remakes or the upcoming open-world adventure game, Pokemon Legends: Arceus , seemed fairly likely, especially as both games are due out in the next seven months. 2021 also marks the franchise's 25th anniversary ; yet another reason why some fans had anticipated an appearance from Pikachu and his pals at some point during the ev
This is a bit of a heavy topic for a game to take, but Death Stranding 's Best RPGs moments come from jumping into really tough situations, like Higgs' backstory and the Chiral Artist's relationship with the Junk Dealer. The same situation might not work as well with Demens, considering the ideological difference there not being something that can be so easily handwaved with a "because video game" mechanic. However, including these enemies can open up for new options that only some players might even see by the end, but could have a huge impact on the experience and perception of the game wo
I have been playing Genshin Impact for over a month and have yet to grow bored of the world it has to offer. It’s worth noting that this doesn’t mean I spend five hours a day wandering around Teyvat — often, I log in for 20 minutes or so just to box off my daily commissions and tackle a sidequest or two. I firmly believe that this is Genshin Impact’s greatest stren
This added level of customization makes each player's trip through Metal Gear Solid 5 as a personalized Venom Snake unique, as everyone will decide that different options are important. Missing out on certain loadouts by the end of the game can be disruptive, but overall, the ability to invest in items is a huge part of MGS5 . Then there's the recruitment feature that fuels this entire system, by picking up enemies to bring onto Snake's side and gain their benefits to unlock better equipm
Conversely, if you eat vegetables lying around, your character will be more agile and healthy overall. Wandering from village to village in Fable often means you will happen upon many varieties of food to load into your inventory. Be wary, because each type of food or drink can affect you differen
