I love the Fables comix, but the game choices we make are fake

  • Well, I agree with you now. I didn't know about that porn stuff.

  • PS:
    So in first person shooting games, is it possible to "win", or is it all just shoot-people action like Castle Wolfenstein in the 80's?

    Again, THANK YOU. All I needed was an explanation. I'm actually very simpleminded and I'm just curious about stuff, that's all. I just never did gaming before. The mod can close this thread if they want.

    If you want a game with a lot of alternate paths you could get Always Sometimes Monsters, though you might not like it if you don't like pixel graphics like To The Moon. If you want realistic graphics then I can't help you until 2015 with the release of Quantum Break, which the game apparently affects the TV show that's in the game while the TV show affects what happens in the game.

    Thank you again, domewing! I will look at witcher2. I hope it's graphics are more realistic like in the shooter kill games, and not comic book like this one.

  • Are you reading Jack of Fables? He's the only one aware that he's inside a comic.

  • Seems like no one knew consider im like the most hated person in this thread

  • Okay, that's another thing. The term "retard" has some really negative connotations to it and it's generally considered very socially impolite to refer to others or yourself as "retards," even if you or they suffer from some form of mental impairment. From what I know about it, autism is also a spectrum disorder, meaning that there are a range of degrees in which it can manifest. So saying something like "we [autistic people] are retards" can be pretty offensive to those who have mild autism and are relatively normal in their mental functioning, aside from some some slight difficulties with social interaction.

    Also, just so you know, it's a general rule of the internet to ignore people who request naked pictures of you. But I imagine that we're already past the point where that's relevant here.

  • The OP posted a link to porn. I'm going to have to agree with zeke10 now (I didn't agree with him at first, until I saw that the OP posted some inappropriate stuff). People who link nudie pics to their posts are trolls.

    WOH, recursive! That sounds cool, and I'm wikipedia-ing it now.

    But all graphics are pixels. The last vector graphics game I saw was Battlezone in the 80s. Does the "pixel graphics" refer to flat, non-3D graphics?

    You're full of shit, Guin. That's like saying "all blacks are stupid." I wrote a very long, very intelligent question about gameplay. It probably took me an hour to write. The link was a one-line afterthought. In other forums, boys ASK me to post those pix. I've also commented in other threads.

    I am compulsive about my writing. It has to be perfect. It really did take at least an hour. I barely answer any emails because I've spent all night on a single one, several times.

    I'm glad you thought it was short though. I figured it was tl;dr.

    And I was only called a "savant" by the psychometrician in the mental hospital I was committed in, not by anyone else. She may have been joking. I can't tell when people are joking. She sure wasn't joking about me being autistic though.

  • You thought this game was for children. You posted on a forum dedicated to people who played the game (people you assumed were children). You decided to post naked pictures of yourself on that forum. So you thought exposing youself to children would help your argument .... ?

    Now about what you said about the game, (since you are on a forum dedicated to talking about the game, not yourself) since you read the comics you understand since this is a prequel how much this limits creativity, and even if it wasn't, videogames about movies / comics / books / any pre enstablished fictional universe will almost always have a weaker story, since games have to work on many many things, while other mediums can focus more on the story and the characters. Now the fight scenes are one of the things I think this game does well, if makes you press a sequence of buttons very fast, to help indicate the sense of urgency of the fight, it uses the only thing games have over other mediums which is interactivity to help immerse the player into the presented universe. I think the fact that fights have no strategy helps the story, bigby acts more on instinct than on strategy.

    I mean you can think whatever you want about the game, but it seems to me like your problems are with videogames as a medium for storytelling as everything you complain about is as common in videogames as close-ups are in movies.

    PS: if you post naked pictures of youself anywhere not dedicated to it, and no one asked you to, we assume you thought the pictures would help understand the argument you are trying to make, so if you have to post pictures of youself naked to post your opinion, we assume you opinion is very very wrong even before reading it. never do it again

    Now that I'm thinking about it you could try out the Stanley Parable. Multiple endings with you either completely disobeying the narrator or agreeing with him the entire game.

    It wasn't just Jack of Fables, it was Fables 83-85, Jack of Fables 33 to 35 and The Literals issues 1 to 3. Jack told the others, who believed him when the writer started changing the universe. That's why they ganged up on him (the writer).

    I liked that when Bigby was turned into a little girl, he still acted like Bigby. Though if I were turned into the opposite sex, the first thing I'd do would be fuck, to see what it feels like. That doesn't sound like something Bigby the girl would do, though.

    > everything you complain about is as common in videogames as close-ups are in movies.

    Well never having played a videogame before, I didn't know that. I didn't know they were so passive and mindless. Telltale said that the player controls the game plot, so I naively believed them. I'm just like that.

    > You thought this game was for children. You posted on a forum dedicated to people who played the game (people you assumed were children). You decided to post naked pictures of yourself on that forum. So you thought exposing yourself to children would help your argument .

    You know, I usually love tearing apart the "logic" of hostile assholes on the internet, but I'm really sick of this thread. Nevertheless,

    1) Any kids (or anyone else) who has spent hours roleplaying a story that shows girls dancing topless, prostitutes with their heads chopped off and has a girl tied to a bloody bed and tortured to death (and god-knows-what else in episode 5) won't be shocked at nude photographs.

    2) I didn't think it would advance my argument that the gameplay is pointless. That's one of the stupidest things anyone's ever said to me on the internet. I did it because in other forums with mostly boys on it (except science ones), most of the time, sooner or later, someone asks me to post naked pix and no one else ever objects.

    Since I'm new here, it was like a housewarming gift. Frankly, I think your attitude about it is rude. You're supposed to accept a gift you don't like graciously. But what do I know about normal-people manners; I'm autistic.

    That's EXACTLY the kind of mistake I make IRL and is exactly why I walked off my last job and moved into a tent/cave in the woods where I can be alone without any of the god damn normals judging me. If I were a fable, I'd prefer to live on the farm.

    > it's a general rule of the internet to ignore people who request naked pictures of you.

    Well I didn't know that either, but I LIKE when boys email me and tell me how much they enjoyed yanking off to pictures of my body. It makes me feel sexy. I rub the nub thinking about them staring at pix of me and doing it. If I hadn't been so alienated from my own feelings in high school, I would have put on naked shows for the boys after school in the woods.

    Yes I KNOW they would have been disrespecting and secretly laughing at me. I don't care about that either. In fact, being humiliated while naked is about the sexiest feeling there is. I like what I like, and the hell with it. If everybody had that attitude, the country wouldn't be all infested with repressed republicans on a crusade to make everyone else as sad and bitter as they are.

    Plus, it's like I have a mutant X-man power in my body that twists boys' minds and makes them want to do stuff to me instead of ignoring me. It's a very weird kind of domination feeling, like I'm really the one in control.

    PS:
    If it turns out that it's rude and impolite to say the above, I don't want to know about it.

  • I think it's quite reasonable to tell someone to "gtfo" if they share a link to pornography on a forum like this...

    Lol GTFO Please try to add something better to discussion than that.

    In the places I hang out online, I get a lot of "Tits or GTFO" (or the more modern equivalent) and I tried to deflect that. I'm also a geek
