BW: Batman vs Bigby was written with the idea that some of the readers will be new to Bigby and Fables. Everything essential that you need to know is already cooked into the story. You don’t need to be Fables-wise to fully enjoy it. But that’s not to say a reader couldn’t enhance the experience by starting to read Fables too. In fact, I hope many new readers will be inspired to come to Fables as a result of this t

This is a bit of a heavy topic for a game to take, but Death Stranding 's best moments come from jumping into really tough situations, like Higgs' backstory and the Chiral Artist's relationship with the Junk Dealer. The same situation might not work as well with Demens, considering the ideological difference there not being something that can be so easily handwaved with a "because video game" mechanic. However, including these enemies can open up for new options that only some players might even see by the end, but could have a huge impact on the experience and perception of the game wo

Fable has an added layer of depth to it that many other similar RPGs didn't at the time: its morality system. In reality, the morality system at play here really only comes down to your character becoming good or evil, with some gray area in between. While it might not be as nuanced as the system employed in the Mass Effect series, Fable wants you to think about how your actions affect the world of Albion and its inhabita

**SR: On a similar note, how did you approach the fact that there will be readers who know Batman backwards and forwards, but will pick up this story knowing little about Fables , or have this as their first exposure? (And vice versa.

The bounties all lead to optional bosses. In true RPG fashion, these encounters are typically tougher than the ones Team Snakemouth had to undertake in the main story. Defeating all of these bosses is necessary to complete the bestiary and get one step closer to 100% complet

This added level of customization makes each player's trip through Metal Gear Solid 5 as a personalized Venom Snake unique, as everyone will decide that different options are important. Missing out on certain loadouts by the end of the game can be disruptive, but overall, the ability to invest in items is a huge part of MGS5 . Then there's the recruitment feature that fuels this entire system, by picking up enemies to bring onto Snake's side and gain their benefits to unlock better equipm

Silver Keys in Fable are hard to come by and are often found in hard to reach places. Silver Keys are used to open Silver Chests. These chests contain powerful items such as a special weapon or elixir. Where many games give the player an abundance of keys in order to open chests that have been strewn about everywhere, Silver Keys are a rarer item in this g

In Fable, the player's choice of food and drink will affect their character. Many games let you eat 100 sweet rolls or 400 potatoes without any of those silly health ramifications that we find in the real world. In this title, should you consume too many sweets or drink too many beers, your character will often get s

It's pretty typical for RPGs to get more exciting and interesting as the player levels up, it's almost a requirement for the genre. The first Borderlands game is a perfect example, as the game is heavily reliant on the eccentric guns that become available to players as they level up high

However, if you’re one of the readers who knows all about Fables but nothing about Batman? I’m not sure such a creature exists, but if you do, I’ve tried my best to make the essential Batman as understandable as can be. We’ll see if I’ve succee

One change that should definitely be made to how MGS5 handles this system, however, is the removal of the Fulton recovery balloons that makes capturing enemies very easy. Instead, players should have to physically take Mules and Demens to different facilities, possibly to a specific few that have the ability to rehabilitate these enemies, making each recruitment a much more intimate encounter. Given that the entire narrative of Death Stranding involves connecting Sam to the other characters around him as much as connecting the United Cities of America, having the chance to rescue people would really help drive those themes h

The company set up a website titled "We Know Something You Don't Know" that featured a countdown to its Primetime Gaming Stream. In the background of said site was a CCTV feed of an office containing a coffin, a mace and a crown; three items with strong links to Kingdom Come: Deliverance . Rather than a sequel however, it's now clear that the items were instead teasing the upcoming Switch po

Probably the most recognizable western RPG of all time, Skyrim is something of a behemoth in the RPG world. The Adventure game Cheats’s iconic icy tundra is a welcome home to many players, including those who had their first foray into the Elder Scrolls series through Skyr
