5 Essential Things That The New Fable Game Should Have

This Demon Door in Oakfield has one of the easiest challenges in the game. Once players stand near it on the outskirts of town, it will ask to see a sign of true love before its own stone eyes. In gameplay terms, it wants to see a marriage propos


Last month proved to be a good one for longtime fans of the Fable franchise after a new anime Game DLC was officially announced at the Xbox Games Showcase event. Of course, the confirmation of a new Fable game is definitely good news to its loyal fanbase given that the franchise has skipped releasing a mainline title for the Xbox


Last and certainly not least is the combat system. In previous Fable games, combat mostly revolves with players just slashing and hacking their way in every encounter. Sure, players can dodge attacks and use special skills, but it doesn't really get more complicated than that. Instead of taking this straightforward approach in combat, the new Fable game could step up every enemy encounter by encouraging players to use a little bit of strategy when dealing with enem


Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding is one of the most polarizing games in recent memory. Kojima's first post-Konami project, Death Stranding has enjoyed a considerable amount of hype since it was first revealed at E3 three years ago, with many fans understandably excited to get their hands on the next game from the mastermind behind Metal Gear Solid . But when the initial Death Stranding reviews came out, it was clear that the game wouldn't enjoy the near-universal acclaim as Kojima's previous games. Reviewers seem split on whether Death Stranding is some sort of video gaming masterpiece or if it's a complete disaster. As it turns out, the answer lies somewhere in-between, though it's much closer to "disaster" than it is to "masterpie


Kojima has gone to great lengths to create his own fictional universe for Death Stranding with a dizzying amount of lore delivered in an excessive amount of dialogue that will leave players' heads spinning. But despite going through all this trouble to immerse players in Death Stranding 's universe, there are some hugely immersion-breaking moments through the game's blatant and distracting product placement. Sam drinks Monster Energy to refill his stamina when out in the game world, and if players happen to use the toilet in Sam's private room, they will be treated to an advertisement for Ride with Norman Reedus on AMC. Apparently AMC and Monster Energy were the only two brands to survive the apocaly

The Tiny Village is easy to miss since the player will have to stray from the regular path to find it. This village is not relevant to the main quest, and it does not contain any magical beans, which is why a lot of players overlooked it completely while exploring the realm.


As such, a Fable reboot from Playground Games shapes up to be a nice change of pace for RPG enthusiasts. However, with a decade past Fable 3 , just what can this reboot offer? Moreover, how would it be different from its predecessor? Are fans going to see a return to a more playful visual direction? Or is Fable going to make a darker t


In Dragon Age, players are presented with numerous choices that will have an impact to how the story would eventually play out. In fact, BioWare even had to create a system in Dragon Age: Inquisition where players would have to summarize their choices in the previous games in order to carry out these decisions to Inquisition's story . Moreover, every single choice the player makes in Dragon Age would affect how other characters would perceive the player, opening up dialog options and specific side que


Albion has 50 hidden gargoyles for players to find and destroy. The reward for destroying all 50 is The Rammer, a Crossbow that strongly resembles Van Helsing's weapon of choice. It deals a massive 119 damage with each bolt and comes with the Bewitching, Flame, and Ghoul augments. Its ability to light targets aflame from a distance while also healing the player makes it a great secondary weapon for melee charact


Using any expression will cause the dog to react in a certain way, so players simply need to use a large variety of expressions to achieve five dog tricks. If the player's dog has died for any reason, it will appear as a ghost and can still do tricks next to the door. Opening this door grants a Potion of Li

When Geralt encounters the dead body of this knight, Syanna has some unique dialogue and mentions how knights would often venture into the Land of a Thousand Fables seeking a princess to marry. This is an interesting tidbit of knowledge about the realm, and it is somewhat shocking that humans would risk their lives in a dangerous land to look for a fairytale character.


Connecting the different outposts and isolated cities through the Chiral Network is another way that Death Stranding stresses its theme of cooperation. Each new person that is brought into the fold has a helpful item or upgrade for Sam, with generous rewards doled out on a regular basis. These items make Death Stranding progressively more fun to play, like an exoskeleton that makes it a bit easier to carry a lot of cargo without having to constantly balance Sam, or access to vehicles that can make those long walks much shorter. It's clear that Kojima made those first 10 hours of Death Stranding so boring and tedious on purpose to hammer in the game's theme of how cooperation is beneficial, and while some may scoff at that, it's a pretty clever way for the game to make a point using gameplay instead of just in cut-sce
