Fable: The Lost Chapters vs Just Cause 3
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).
Just Cause 3
Just Cause 3 is the latest, and so far, the best Just Cause game within the franchise. Set in yet another tropical paradise - this time in the Mediterranean sea, you'll have over 1000 square kilometer of gorgeous landscape to explore and cause total chaos in... and fortunately, the game offers you a villain - a ruthless dictator who has the entire island population under his thumb - making it incredibly easy and fun to torment him by taking out his people and his critical buildings.As usual, albeit with hugely improved graphics and effects, you'll get to perform a wide variety of thrilling stunts - stunts that you can further combine to create new creative and exaggerated ways to wreak havoc. In addition to the many different types of missions, there are even plenty of collectibles to gather too.
However, for a game such as this one, you'll probably expect the storyline to be rather lackluster, which in this game, is exactly the case. But if you simply want to blow off some steam and cause trouble for a evil dictator that you can whole-heartedly hate, then, Just Cause 3 is the best possible game you can play.
