what's the lesson? that since march 2007 when we first played COD3 together you've gained 8K hihihihi :p

all kidding aside, good work. keep it up.

jimmy, i said the controls ruined the game, and possibly my controller, which now creaks and squeeks and who knows what else. so in a way, the controls were also ruined themselves, because this was not a problem with FNR3.

FNR3 was stick control too.

Button mashers ftl, stick controls ftw.

Learn or lose people, learn or lose :p

@Jian, Fable 2 is immense :yes:

rather lose then...what a great loss, i'm devastated ;) FNR3 was stick only for the haymakers or signature moves if i recall, and had other control schemes. FNR4 was almost entirely stick. plus the career mode was miserable, dragging on and on and with those same emails from the trainer all the time. if you enjoyed it, that's great, it wasn't for me.

I'm pretty sure FNR3 had complete stick controls like FNR4, it just had the options for buttons too.

Much better with sticks only, imo. (Y)

Yup, this man knows his stuff :yes: Call yourself a gamer Neo :no: lol

FNR3 has complete stick control as well as the old control schemes from Xbox/PS2. FNR4 is only stick controls because of the feedback they received from gamers about how much they loved it. Just shows you are in the minority using the old button mash techniques.

Deformed hands - no, skillz - yes :yes:

if you're the majority, call me minoritized and proud ;)

as for the control scheme, i don't remember, it's been two and a half years since i finished FNR3. guess me and the other non-gamers here have off memories. must be all that non-gaming gaming time eroding what passes for our brains.

Finished Fable 2. Now to finish the last level of Halo Wars :)

As for the FN controls, I used the sticks on FN3 and FN4. They just felt way more precise on FN3 for some reason though. FN4 they felt really sloppy and I never felt I was totally in control of my punches. I know they have the "classic" control scheme in FN4 that's supposed to be like FN3, but they still feel sloppy. I think it might be because of the new engine they are using.

Found a MAJOR flaw in the design on Fable 2 and that's the only one save point. I was pretty annoyed by it while playing through the game as I normally like to have several on the go so if I don't like something I've done, I can load an older save and fix it. That in itself isn't THAT bad, but I found after I beat the game that there is free DLC. I would have liked to grab the DLC and then load an older save and play the new areas, but because of the single save system and the fact that my last save is right at the end of the game, I would have to start an entire new game to play the DLC and that's BS!!

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the DLC can be played anytime, even after finishing the main quest, you know the game doesn't really ever end.. right?

Ha!! Thanks for the tip. I got to the credits and thought it was over so just exited to the dashboard. I retract my previous statement then ;)

That was a deliberate decision Lionhead made to prevent people saving their game, making a decision in the story, not liking the outcome and loading the old save and choosing the other path. Molyneux really wanted the player to care about their character and the choices they made. I agree with them 100% on it too.

However, you can have more than one Hero save, but it means restarting the game from scratch obviously. I started the game but created a new hero so I could unlock my Master Chief armour.

Yeah, I realize that. I just don't like it :p .

They were REALLY thorough with it too. You can't even back up your save to another memory device. I tried to copy my save to a spare memory card I have, to get around the whole thing, and it wouldn't let me :angry: :rofl:

Lol, as it is someone just lent me Fable II. Very good apart from the fact I keep pulling my sword out by mistake and scaring everyone...I guess I have no choice but to be evil :p

HAHA!! I keep doing that with the magic button. It's the same button to back out of the gestures menu, and I have a habit of spamming it, so I'm constantly using it by accident.

I'm playing as good, but everyone is afraid of me. I got a 2nd wife in another town, and some guy tried to blackmail me for it, so I HAD to kill him. Now everyone calls me a murderer and runs away :rofl:

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
