Fable Anniversary Game review
Like ten years ago, we are born in the town Oukveyl among the picturesque hills, in a quiet corner of Albion.On the carefree boy who dreams of becoming either a savior offended, or treacherous villain, sowing fear and destruction. Now, however, he runs for his native village, fights with bullies, saves teddy bears and trying to save up for his sister a gift.
But the idyll ends swiftly and severely. Bandits raid on the village and burned it to the ground together with the residents. Save, of course, only our little boy.With a light hand sorcerer named Maze, found himself at the right time in the right place, it falls into the guild of heroes, where for many years taught the martial tricks and gradually turns into along-term character and the potential savior of humanity. But passing the final examinations in the guild, sent to the free swimming by and large, and, as usual, open world.
The world, of course, full of adventure, danger and amazing meetings. Fable - is still a fascinating tale, something, of course, naive, but the ability to captivate and adults.Its charm over the years of history are not lost and, as before, offers "the whole range of emotions":then you and friendship, and betrayal, and love stories, and heroic deeds - even newcomers players narrative should be to the taste.Experienced fans very idea to spend more time traders through the dark forest, to speak at the arena and lure Lady Grey, certainly breaks of nostalgia.
In addition to the topical tasks game offers a lot of the minor.Some of them are imbued with the brand of English humor and makes watching and not quite usual things - for example, to experiment with the appearance to please the daughter of a city dweller.But the second part - the standard bring-feed-kill, quests and so upgrades just would not stir. However, their stereotyped compensated by the ability to say that you do a job, not having received damage, ... or in shorts. For this and additional reward relies!
Albion
Action adventure, but the modern player, spoiled HD-picture, the original could easily and turned his nose.Therefore, the developers approached the issue seriously and over were not limited to just one high-resolution textures. Fable transplanted on a completely new engine, and now she is not inferior to the schedule last part of the series numbering and pets increased detail and modern effects.
Nevertheless, fans of the original find a reason to grumble. With the change of engine and complete processing of graphic palette has darkened considerably and frowned.And if in the same dark forest is clearly to the benefit of the game, then faded meadows many more disappointed. But such changes are easy to explain, because now the game is visually more similar to the new part of the series.
However, a closer look reveals that the palette - the smaller of the problems.Along with the new engine and the game went to a new technical problem (which, incidentally, were full of second and third parts).The character gets stuck in roadside boulders and fences thugs evaporate right in front of our nose, and a large gathering of people the number of frames sags noticeably. The problem is not critical, but unpleasant.
In the rest to us exactly the same game as in 2004, around - the location of each and every pebble trees up quests and most mechanics.The approach is twofold, the fans will appreciate and enjoy more time will be your favorite game, but as a project of the past will look in the eyes of the newcomers?
Unfortunately, some of the elements over the past years had considerably poistrepatsya.Tiny location and permanent podzagruzki not inspire optimism before, and today, especially in comparison with the huge levels of Fable 2 and Fable 3, produce very sad impression.And the combat system eventless - kick machetes, bow shot, a volley of magic blocks evasion - that all of our arsenal. No tricky combinations, no original ideas (such as mixing spells of Fable 3). Still fighting a surprisingly beautiful and spectacular - a distraction.
But the role-playing system, and today keeps a stiff upper lip. Especially considering that the third Fable went from role-playing genre so far as to directly process of character development there is almost gone.Here everything is traditional: gain experience - put it in a performance.Changes are shown not only in Tsiferki data about a character, but also externally: added a couple of points to the constitution - the hero will hear in the shoulders and quickly pick up muscle mass, increased agility - the character will be extended and become more sinewy.
Well, of course, on the site of the most important element - karma. There are no shades of gray here, deeds either good or bad.The system is rough, but illustrative: helping villagers - catch halo; pokes townspeople sharp objects - reconciled with pretty red horns and flocks fly over the back of his head. Such visual metamorphosis of the protagonist until now few have realized.
