hellloooooo #cosogaming folks. I remember someone saying "<insert name here> is the greatest game ever and I can't be convinced otherwise" or something akin to that and I am unable to find it. So if you said it, please say it again or how about everyone tell me the best game you like that IS NOT HORROR (because I'm a big scaredy pants). I have all platforms, but lean toward Playstation and NIntendo of all generations #cosogamers help a sister out!
Fable TLC is like... a classic salt and pepper steak, as far as stories go. Basic fantasy, good monsters, compelling and emotional story but it’s nothing particularly new.
I like the combat but it’s really easy to get OP, especially with the resurrection phials, and especially if you know what spells are worth it (slow time, berserk, enflame, and physical shield ftw). The morality scale is an interesting twist but it’s honestly verging on gimmicky... ->
@Stace Because the story isn’t really dramatically altered by your choices - there’s some, but it’s not like there’s a butterfly effect or anything. Mass Effect does a bit better but let’s be honest, it would take a quantum crystal to store enough data to really pull that off well, I think.
@GlytchMeister I was actually going to say Mass Effect lol @Stace
Srs tho Mass Effect 1-3 is a masterpiece the likes of which we might never see again. I particularly like the first game, but I recommend playing through all of them with a single character starting with 1. Tons of player agency, an intricate story, quality voice acting, etc.
@Expecting_Words @Stace
^^^ Mass Effect is an excellent game. The ending is bothersome, and the infamous face reveal stung, but yeah. Probably the closest to a honest to goodness butterfly effect in regards to player choices/morality we’ve ever had, and in light of what the industry is up to lately, probably the best we are likely to see in our lifetimes.
Excellent sci-fi story, too - especially in regards to tackling philosophical and moral conundrums of A.I. and war waging.
