Fable: The Lost Chapters vs Hitman: Absolution
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost Chapters is one of the most groundbreaking adventure RPG back in the day. Why was it so unique? Well, the game is designed with one major concept in mind - your every action in the game, including which dialogue options you chose and even how you treat people, will affect your reputation, which in turn will change the skills you have access to and also your character's appearance (like a reverse Dorian Gray) as he ages or collect scars from battling enemies. So, in other words, the character development is beyond impressive. The game doesn't really penalize you for your actions though, but there are consequences for every good or bad actions that you do and these consequences will affect the world around you, giving you the sort of freedom that was pretty much unheard of back then.In some way, Fable can be regarded as a legend-creator - a game in which you can literally craft your own legend by forging your own path. It also has a rather whimsical tone to it, making the adventures you embark on fun and lighthearted. Of course, there are plenty of exciting storylines to uncover and hidden secrets for you to find as well.
Fable is one of the most popular RPG series of all time and if you love RPGs, this is definitely one game you'll want to get (or maybe you can get the Fable Anniversary Edition instead - despite its flaws, it does have better graphics).
Hitman: Absolution
Hitman: Absolution is the fifth in the series and takes on an interesting twist in the story. With a more accessible gameplay while retaining the core essence of the franchise that you love there is an interesting experience waiting for you.The ICA is demolished from within and it falls to you as Agent 47 to find the culprit, and retrieve an asset important to the organisation. Thus begins another adventure and this time you are hunting one of your own. With all the twists and turns you could want alongside the stealth gameplay that made the series a household name you have a brilliant experience waiting for you. A new feature added here is the option to make your own contract, a facility that enables you to create your own missions for others to play and post them online or send to your friends. All in all another brilliant addition to the series.
