Fable is a game series that you can never buy and not miss. Unlike the Mass Effect or Halflife franchises. It's like the mashed potatoes of gaming. Without gravy.
Well, it makes more sense than what he said before ("The world is your health bar"). Makes a hell of a lot more sense now.
Yeah. Basically none of Fallout 3 would've been as exciting, knowing that the gigantic evil radiation monster could only hurt me for around 10 seconds.JeanLuc761 said:
But then again, there is no single thing worse than running towards a main city with 10> health, then getting killed by a mole rat or something.
And then go play something more fun.laman132 said:
Seriously, I don't get this guy. We all know the game is going to sell, him speaking only ever hurts the games in the end. For my part, he lost me with Fable 2 and it's identity crisis as a Sims fantasy life simulator.
um... It doesn't feel like you can die when you don't have a health bar that says, "one sliver of health"
I don't fear my character dying at all when there's no bar.
I think that's a mistake. It might be more immersive in every other way, but I feel like I can't die or can't tell when I will when they don't use the stupid health bar.
i think the leveling("decided stature") system will be decidedly broken because I don't think the game will allow that tall and lanky guy with a knife to do anything. It takes too much thought and balancing for Molyneux and friends to pull off.

I want to make my character look like Mr. Kimura (or however that's spelled) from Azumanga Daioh. That way if and when I do those things the guilt of doing so will be assuaged by the hilarity of it.Aku_San said:
It's because a lot of people seem to have it in their minds that HUDs are a useless waste of space and break immersion. While I don't exactly agree with these people I can see where they are coming from... and it isn't a good place.RedMenace said:
Why is it necessary to get rid of the HUD, the health-bars, and add a 'slap-children-around' feature? None of this seems to have any reasoning behind it, other than to simply make it a little bit different to the last games.
Admittedly, I like the idea of the monsters you battle and the weapons you use shaping your appearance quite a lot, but that's just a gimmick. What's different about the actual game?

Oh lovely.....I just love it when game designers think they are film students and fuck with what works well just to try their hand at "cinemagic"....
its not as bad as it could be but why does nearly every game these days have to use the regenerating health scren
i like health bars, they ad a layer of tactics to the game

$5 says that when Fable 3 comes out, people will rage at it and hate it and go on and on about how great Fable 2 was.
Just like what they did with Fable 1 when Fable 2 comes out.
Anyway, in my opinion, lets wait until it comes out, and not listen to Peter Moleneux. I mean come on, if you fall for the hype he sets up 3 times, you deserve to be dissapointed.

Well played Molyneux, Get everyone even people who dont like fable interested by saying its going to piss off some people, then just use that as a excuse to tell people about new features, i mean look at me,i hated fable 2 (Long story) but yet here i am,posting in this thread..Well played indeed sir
I'm not quite sure how to react to this, I really can't get a feel for how this works until I see it for myself, it sounds interesting, but I'm willing to wait before I pass judgement.
