Support NeoGAF

[Roland Hood]

First RPG I've finished in awhile. I think I like this this kind better than the wind 'em up grind 'em up style RPG.

Anyway, I thought it was pretty good. Graphics were impressive at first but kind of uneven as I went along, like the falling boulders were blocky and the blood was kind of mediocre.

I played as Furious Ming and he seemed kind a bit duncical, I suppose the agreeable nature of my responses played a part in that.

Story was pretty good with some nice plot twists. Arena was toughest part, especially with all the loading screens. Mostly I liked the upgrading of skills and weapons and upgrading my amulet.

Spoiler

I ended up mostly using Paralyzing Palm followed by Legendary Fist/Dragon Sword over and over with a twist of Jade Golem for some serious damage. I had no problem with Deaths Hand or Master Li using this technique. Many battles involved me running around using the drain spell to get more chi. If only I had used support mode for my followers earlier I wouldn't have had to bother - this one helped get me through that first fountain battle.

I don't see myself playing again, but it has revived my interest in Fable, which I played for about 10 seconds before putting it away.

Yea, I really got curious to check out Fable myself once I finished it. I can wait for the director's cut deal though.

Played some Fable last night - it's pretty cool!

Graphics are 'lush' although it's a bit choppy at times. I like the combat it seems pretty smooth, maybe smoother than JE. And using the white and black button to select weaps is a bit awkward.

I still have to figure out the nuances of the emotions/items on the d-pad (didn't read the manual).

I think I read some complaints about the game just moving you from enclosed area to enclosed area. I have no problem with this as it cuts down the wandering time, and I welcome the teleport feature

Will try to finish this game, this might be my best year ever in completing games - so far I've completed 2 already - GoW and JE

Yeah, in that Jade Empire thread that fell off the map I too had said that JE made me realize I may have missed a good thing by skipping Fable.

I'd already be on it right now but it the current Fable is likely close to a $19.99 price point, or I'll jump on the enhanced version apparently coming to Xbox as well as PC.

There's an enhanced Xbox version in the works?

 

[BuckRobotron]

Apparently, Fable: The Lost Chapters PC is also coming to Xbox, but unfortunately I still haven't been following closely, so others may have more details about the new stuff added.

I have only heard and seen ads for the PC version, don't think(could be wrong) there is an XBOX version.

Anyway there is going to be a real big jump in quality going from Jade Empire to Fable(ahh what could have been).
