So maybe I misjudged Fable 2, because for a game I initially thought to be tedious I sure spent a lot of time playing it this weekend. Like, every free moment.
Maybe a better word to describe the initial experience was “overwhelming”. Feeling like this world was going to be a burden to traverse, considering that’s how it was in the previous game, and this map is supposed to be even larger. Feeling like there really wasn’t much direction at the beginning of the game, and not really knowing what to do with myself.
But on the other hand, I was rather disappointed by the visuals. And the sound. Aside from the opening cinematic, everything really felt just like the previous installment, even with the generation gap in consoles, nothing visually seemed that different to me. Maybe I just need to pop the old game back in to hit home the fact that this is indeed an upgrade.
But after awhile, I stopped caring about both of those, and just played. And I can’t stop playing it. So it can’t be all bad. Fallout can wait.
