It is also the single best implementation of cause-and-effect relationships I have ever seen in a game. A lot of this has to do with the Pratchett-esque liveliness of the characters, but it can at least partially be attributed to how ambitious its long-term consequences are, too. You’re given a year to raise the arbitrary sum of 6.5 million gold, and you can do this by selling out allies, refusing to build hospitals, or working as a legitimate business owner in a cutthroat early capitalist industrial regime. No matter what you do, you’re going to be bitten in the arse somehow, which is always refreshingly real in the most tongue-in-cheek way possible.

Instead, those who tuned in for the event were instead treated to a long presentation about i ts new Prime Matter publishing label . In some ways, it felt more like a presentation aimed at developers and potential partners than one geared towards gamers, with very little on offer in the way of new gameplay footage and trailers. That said, there were one or two nice surprises on of

It’s important to say right from the get-go that I didn’t love Fable 3. I liked it in a lot of ways, and boy was I happy to hear Stephen Fry’s dashingly dapper Reaver lambast everyone in his immediate vicinity with insults that were dour and spirited in equal measure. But it was a real departure from the sheer debauchery that Fable 2 paraded around.

The reveal definitely served its purpose in building up a lot of attention just before the holiday season. But this marketing came at the sacrifice of so many great plot points. Some fans felt the move a bit little shallow -- especially the hardcore fans who wanted to go in bl

Some also say that the protagonist needs to upgrade one of the game's cool legendary weapons to get past the door, but there are conflicting reports around that. So, those who don't have a legendary weapon should still give it a s

Fable 3 is a weird game to look back on, mostly because it’s largely confined to the Molyneux meme playground. It’s easy to look at it and think of it as the product of, "What if there was a game that had you as the powerful protagonist, which actually focused not on the means of attaining your power, but on the mundane responsibilities that follow it?" Ultimately, that’s a huge part of what Fable 3 is. It’s not a headlong rush to a climactic battle where the good guys win. It’s not about slaying a dragon with your level 100 magical sword. In a lot of ways it’s actually quite tricky — its inherent humor almost encourages you to be as cheeky as possible, and you reckon you can swindle everyone into helping you defeat the Big Bad at the end of the game. But that’s not the end of the game, and nobody really cares that you saved the world because you fleeced them to do it.

Also formerly known as Project Athia , Forspoken is a new IP being developed exclusively for the PlayStation 5 by Luminous Productions and published by Square Enix. While Square Enix has a show, it has already been pretty clear about what exactly it'll be showcasing. While there's definitely room for surprises, because of Forspoken 's existence as a PS5 exclusive , it doesn't seem like the title will be making an appearance. Sony has been notably absent from E3 for a few years now, but the company often times does its own events during the summer. It's much more likely that Forspoken will make its next appearance during a PlayStation event than at E3 2

The quickest way to achieve that is to use the kingdom treasury — only accessible to Kings and Queens. Put a bunch of money into it, and the purity slider will move to the good side, whereas taking money from the treasury will have the exact opposite effect. Regardless of how they do it, as long as players are on one end of the scale, the door will open once they approach

Every fan of Hideo Kojima has become accustomed to his weird and sometimes wonderful ways. This is especially true when it comes to what some consider his magnum opus series: Metal Gear Solid. However, the release trailers for Phantom Pain definitely took the cake for the most major scenes jammed into a small win

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

The Far Cry series has had many leaks over the years such as the game awards trailer leak. But those kinds of information breaches might be the Best RPGs kind of leak. It draws in long-time fans who might have grown disillusioned with the franchise. Of course, for players who haven't caught up on their Far Cry, it could ruin surprises in the st

However, this reveal was pretty shocking for the few that could follow along. The marketing included one of the most impactful character deaths in the game combined with an end of the world drop. Come on guys - leave a little plot for the playthro
