Kicking chickens?

Is it the new cow-tipping?

Seriously, they shouldn't suggest things like that in games.

(and don't give me crap that Zelda had you abusing chickens, it was different)

They don't make kicking chickens a part of the quests or even suggest that you should do it, they just let you know that you can do it if you want to. Its just one of the many moral decisions that you can or cannot make in the game.

Don't blame the game, blame the player because he is the one who has decided to abuse the animals, the game just allowed him the option of doing it if he wished (just like... *gasp*... real life)

Can you pick up the chickens and carry them? because in zelda i always enjoyed throwing chickens off a cliff or such.

in this it would be fun to carry a chicken to the top of a cliff, then give a big kick off.

Well, you can kick heads off of hills. Hopefully you can pick up chickens and move to a desired spot to punt them

That's gonna be fun!

@.@ It looks like a fish

Look closely...it's the head of a Bandit who you just decapitated

This game looks great. I wish I had money for an X-box.

What are you going to do if you get it? I mean are you going to play evil, good or in between?

Typhoid · 08-10-2004, 06:24 PM

While the graphics are good, they are still meh to me. I mean, i thought the decapetated head was a fish too. And deep down i still do. Any game where a fish is mixed up for a decapatated head has some graphicular problems. Im not knocking the whole thing, its just all i heard about was " The graphics in fable this and that" and they dont really blow me away like i thought they would.

And Deej, never ever ever EVER put a hyphen between the "X" and the "b" it doesnt belong there. They dont go together. Like liver and sugar, they just dont work.

I am so glad I bought an Xbox now. Halo 2 and Fable! I already abused Ninja Gaiden and KOTOR. These are the 2 last Xbox games I am looking for unless some other good ones are released, but yeah, this game is going to be insane.

Oh I have no idea. I'm always good in every other game which gives me a choice, but there's no doubt that I will go ahead and do some bastard deads. By the end of the story, I'll probably be somewhere in between neutral and good, but not angellic. Maybe be known as the Underpants hero or the greatest chicken kicker to ever walk the lands of Albion.

Ty, Fable used to be a graphic marvel, but I would much rather play a game with a smooth frame rate than a beautiful game which lows down when 10 characters are on screen. I remember reading that up to 30 people can be on screen in fable whiel remaining at a constant 30fps.

Reading some of this preview has made me look up Xbox prices...I'll probably look at the reviews but if the game ends up being as great as it sounds...I'll have the big 'ol Box pretty soon.
