I was just recently going through some old episodes from Software Engineering Radio when I came across this one episode featuring Casey Muratori, where he goes through some of his thoughts around his video from February 2023, titled "‘Clean’ Code, Horrible Performance". I was actually already aware ...
Story and gameplay-wise, I think it will be a better experience with some years under your belt. Fable has a lot of humor and plays quite a bit with tropes in other games. I also remembering having a lot of fun in the downtime of quests, without it falling into the traps that recent games all fall into (ubisoft open world formula)
If you like Action RPGs and don't mind playing some older games, I'd definetly recommend checking it out again. I may also follow my advice and go play Fable Anniversary in preparation for this one.
(Disclaimer: this is my recollection of the experience 10+ years ago, haven't played the games since)
Yes! My thoughts exactly. I don't see how this game can capture the world building of Skyrim or Fallout and still have the same exploration feel of No Man's Sky (which comes at a huge cost in my view), who knows, maybe they prove me wrong.
If they can't combine both experiences and the game ends up closer to the other Bethesda games, with good lore and decent story, I might check it out. If it ends up more like NMS, than it's definetly not my cup of tea (but there are a lot of other folks interested in that type of game).
Wow, this one was not on my radar, but got me excited! Played a lot of Fable 2 and 3, and if this one manages to keep a bit of the fun of those games, it should be a great time.
Looks cool, but didn't look like it featured that much gameplay on a "Gameplay Trailer". My trust in Bethesda is at an all-time low, but let's see if they manage to pull this one through, without it being an empty universe with generic gameplay.
