Most open world games I can’t seem to get past a few hours. I’ve started RDR 2 about 4 times now, Watch Dogs/Assassins Creed games probably more than that and even stuff like Forza Horizon (I love FH1 though) is part of that too.

Fable 2

I’m a few hours in and its a real throwback to 2009 or whenever as I haven’t played it since launch. It feels very familiar but I don’t really remember much about the game. Once thing to note is that after playing Fable Anniversary, Fable 2 definitely has a vibe of being brightly coloured world but often times quite bland with nothing to show in the open world.

Lots of short and random sessions on my handheld. Colin McRae 2.0, PSO, WWE No Mercy and many more. Dreamcast isn’t really viable but some games can be playable with some tweaking but It’s great for PSX and below though. I set up syncthing to backup saves and screenshots so I can easily access them on my PC too :)

I would start by adding a couple more indexers but don’t go overboard. 3 or 4 should be good and then swap them out as needed. Also something to note is make sure you aren’t just “hit n run” on everything and seed properly.

Fable Anniversary

I haven’t played much this past week but did finish up the main story and now I’m almost done with the extended storyline in the Northern Wastes area. Also found the Darkwood Bordello quest and did a couple more demon doors/silver keys.

I think one more session and I’m done so looking forward to starting Fable 2 straight after.

edit: completed it this evening :)

I still have Skate 3 installed on my Xbox for those times when I just want to chill for an hour. It makes me a little sad when I see what its become nowadays…

Fable Anniversary

I think I’m in the end game now. I was going to go through and find all the collectables first (silver keys, dolls, demon doors etc) but I think I’ll just finish the story and move on to Fable II.

Forza Motorsport 4

Picked it up a couple days ago and played a few hours already. It’s just as fun as I remember but a shame the 360 doesn’t have online functions anymore for the “rivals” stuff. It still looks really good and makes you realise why the console lasted for so long.

RVGL

It’s an OpenGL port of Re-Volt and a lot of fun!

Bridge of Spirits is great so looking forward to this. I wasn’t expecting a sequel but it’s a shame it’s probably a year away :/

Masters of Albion comes out this year, and quite soon, on 22nd April, and seeks to give us a dose of Dungeon Keeper, Black & White and Fable all in one.

Honestly it sounds and looks great but no way am I buying an early access Molyneux game!
