That shrieking spider is how I feel on a daily basis.
*REEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Hey, wanna know the most annoying sound in the world?
Oh, apparently that spider thing knows it.
can you imagine a real spider making that sound before you squished it? lmao
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I need that for my cell phone alarm. My wife will love it!
@@bigstupidgrin damn, now I want to find it as a ringtone.
Real spiders seriously hate high-pitched noises so when girls scream at them. It's only making things worse! They would seriously hate this spider imposter!
Fable, a disappoint and click adventure.
This pun actually cracked me up
😂😂😂👏
"Hmm, yes, hello, dis a point and click adventure?"
"Indeed it is, sir!"
😉👉👉
@@klaythoring1326 I played this game when it came out. very rudimentary point and click game.
Quickthorpe sounds like a fast-acting cough medicine.
Shreek, schreek, shraawwkk, schreek!!!!
That spider just gave me my new text message alert.
That's already what my phone ringing sounds like in my head.
Through sheer force of will I managed to not spray coffee all over my screen as I had just taken a drink when the spider screeched. Ha!
I stared at my screen a for a long time after that happened. I was astounded.
Honestly, I want a "Grumpy Shelob" alarm clock now, or that as my ringtone just to annoy those around me. LOL
You are possibly a minor deity for holding back.
haha! Nah just a Dad who has perhaps on a few occasions had to do the same to keep from covering a baby in coffee...
That would be the most effective alarm clock ever! No one could sleep through... that. Even better, people would prolly smash it, prompting them to get a new alarm clock!!😁
It seems like they focused way too much on the art and graphics and not enough on everything else. It is a shame, because most of the graphics look really great.
Yeah, they certainly put more emphasis on looking good than being good.
So, I guess the one thing this Fable has going for it is that it’s got a sense of realism to it. No musical accompaniment to your location. Enemies just die with no fanfare or writhing. Just like real life! In a fantasy realm. K.
This game is one of my favorite nostalgic games ever, holds a special place in my heart
8:23 It needed Willy Wonka "GOOD DAY, YOU LOSE, YOU GET NOTHING!"
I was entirely expecting that.
Sorry, I couldn't stop myself.
Too predictable. Instead I just overused that spider clip. #winning
Too bad. That art style is fantastic for an adventure game. Btw great vid as usual Roses! : )
Yeah, I liked how it looked. I think the quality could have been bumped up a LOT with the inclusion of a soundtrack. It really does affect the game as a whole.
PushingUpRoses lol. I believe it! Funny though if I hadn’t watched this review I swear I would have come across this someday thinking it’s gonna be amazing based off looks. Bad UI’s in adventure game can kill it! Thanks for playing this so I don’t have to. 😂
@@pushinguproses perhaps someone will make a soundtrack for it. Until then, why not just use the soundtrack to the fable from 2004 🤷♂️
Look on the bright side! Now you'll always have that clip of the screeching spider to express displeasure!
The main guy sounds incredibly unlikable, the complete opposite of Guybrush Threepwood! It’s interesting how immediately off-putting I found it when a character hates cats versus how funny I found it when a character hates porcelain. Shows which game had smarter writers.
What is it with 90s point-and-click adventure game protagonists hating cats? Quickthorpe from Fable (1996). George Stobbart from Broken Sword (1996). Manny Calavera from Grim Fandango (1998). They each have their scene where they express their hatred for cats.
@@TheRealGaucelm As a cat lover, you've only just made me realise this, and it's changed my perspective on them completely.
I'm now going to use that spider shriek as a ringtone for some of my annoying friends and family members.
I died laughing with that noise the giant spider made.
There is actually a room you can get in the maze at the last part of the game (you don't need to go there to finish the game) where you meet that old man you will kill in the end to finish the game, anyway he tell you your all quest was actually a lie and he was in league the elder that send you in order to collect the gems so he could take over the world or something along those lines.
Not that this really pose an improvement to the story line but a least it exist.
Oh, and the game crash during dialog each time you get there.
Somehow, I sense that the fantasy world of Fable (1996) is next on the Dungeon Keeper's list to be destroyed and desecrated.
I expected that one Kinect game
With the no music and... interesting voice acting, this game reminds me of Zelda’s adventure for the cdi. That’s not something that I want to be reminded of when playing a game
I'm just gonna sit here and make spider noises now.
8:36 LOOK OUT, ROSES, A POIIIIIIIISONOUS SNAKE!
This game wasn't very good, but it still had some things worth noticing. It had really nicely drawn landscapes with very light coloring that gives the whole game a very lighthearted atmosphere. The raunchy humor also hints that it might have been intended to be a parody of both Lucasarts and Sierra. The problem, besides the buggy UI, may have been that it was extremely rushed, to the point that several plot details and seemingly important characters are completely overlooked. With enough lore and more depth behind the characters and the world the story takes place in, Fable could have been a classic.
The "Oh yeah, I have a girlfriend; she lives in Canada and is _totally real!"_ part definitely makes more sense in the original ending, from the sound of it.
Oh my goodness, I LOVE this game! Mind you, it's most certainly nostalgia goggles, but I was so excited to see you review it. I still have my copy from the nineties!
The art pulled me in, and the environments/characters felt much harsher than the KQ games I grew up with, which made it feel somehow more real, to me, and less like I was watching fantasy tropes play out on screen. Just several worlds of jerks and Quickthorpe bumbling incapably through it all.
I even liked the story, convoluted as it was. Definitely a Roger Wilco moment of somehow getting caught up in schemes and histories much more complex than his own.
Anyhow, I'll stop rambling about loving this game, which is undoubtedly brimming with flaws, but thanks again for another great review!
"You took my lollipop!"
"AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!"
This game had potential, but feels truly incomplete. Too bad Steam is loaded with games that fit this description. (Steam has become a hub for great games, while also becoming the world's largest collection of shovelware.)
Yup, and I've seen plenty of those via another TH-camr by the name of SidAlpha.
Steam is the Amazon/eBay/etc. of video games. Quality is there, but because it's the biggest game in town (which accepts anything anyone wants to sell) the quality can easily get buried behind piles of cheap junk.
@@benjaminmiddaugh2729
If you think Steam is more popular than console markets, I have a bridge to sell you.
@@chrism1518 If you think I was talking about the entire gaming market instead of the PC market (which should have been implied by the context in the comment I was replying to), I have a pointy metal tower to sell you.
I like how even TH-cam is confused about which Fable you reviewed
Oh man! I actually own this game and have it installed on my old Pentium-120 machine. I played it for about an hour and like it's just a BAD game in my opinion. Not only does the game load EVERY SINGLE DAMN animation from the CD (so expect to wait at least 30 seconds for each animation) but the gameplay is also just not very pleasant. Not a very good game imo. But your video is excellent!
that "siren" looked like a totally normal lady wearing fetish stuff
also the snake dying and thumping unceremoniously to the ground cracked me up. poor snake
OMG The snake bit where you just throw the spear and it flops to the ground killed me
The Casket Town graphic and quip absolutely killed me. Cheers.
"Shreek, schreek, shraawwkk, schreek!!!!" should've been my senior quote when I graduated high school.
Iconic bad line from this game: "Let's get naked and take a swim in the lake... you first!"
Hah, I was hoping you meant this one, used to have it myself
You know it.
Dark Western was that mmo even released?
Dark Western I think so to. I just heard it was announced but that was it. Kind of thought it was dead and just forgot about it
Dark Western damn I didn’t even known it had a beta
Oh fable has an Anniversary edition... Can't say it's worth full price over again personally
"Sometimes he's a jerk for no reason!"
I mean... He hates cats. That says a lot about his character.
Doesn't Alexander from Kings quest hate cats?
I hate people who have cats but let them run free to ruin other people's property. If I had a dog but let him run outside to shit in other people's yards and vegetable gardens, if you woke up to see dog paw prints and scratches from their nails on your car every morning, if you found dog hair and fleas on your patio/deck/balcony furniture from a dog that wasn't your's, not to mention the territory marking piss you would find everywhere, would that be okay?
Why can't people who decide to take responsibility for an animal, I don't know, actually take responsibility for an animal?
When I walk my dog I actually carry a bottle of water just in case she pees on someone's yard, I'll try to make her pee at home but if it happens in someone else's yard as I'm walking her I'll use the water to wash as much of it down. If she poops in a yard, I'll try so that absolutely doesn't happen, but if it does happen I carry bags so I can pick all of it up and throw it away in my garbage.
And sometimes doing things the right way actually takes less effort to do than to do them the wrong way, yet, it seems I see people go OUT OF THEIR WAY to do things the wrong way.
I don't know, whatever. I'm out of coffee.
@@dsandoval9396 Cats are not dogs. They are their own master and will come and go as it pleases them. Outdoor cats can not be controlled the way a dog in a leash can.. ofc you can walk cats in leashes too, but it is not at all as stimulating for them as ruling on their own.. :)
So yeah, it's problematic to ask for cat owners to watch out for their outdoor cats as if they were dogs 😅
@@1Pineapple Outdoor cats have contributed to the extinction of 63 species of birds, reptiles, and small mammals.
Wait, the protagonist hates cats? 0/10 -- would demand refund! (CATS FOREVER!)
That said, did you ever play "Eric the Unready"? It felt like a successful parody of Adventure Games.
eric the unready was a blast! that is how you do an adventure game that doesn't take itself seriously :D
I kind of live in casket town because my house happens to be on the second floor of a funeral home my dad runs. I played Crash Team Racing in the casket room.
Jealous Roses?
Omg that spider
SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH!!!!
lmfao
1:43 - AND you've lost me, Quickthorpe.
That spider @0:55 sounds a bit like the slayers in Krull when they die...!
I remember playing it back in 1996 (I was 7) and the sound I had was from the “bib bib speaker in the pc” and even tough I loved it ! The ironic harsh humor fits perfectly with the danish humor en general !
I dunno why, but the little thump noise the snake made when it died made me laugh
Oh my god, that spider! LOL!
I think we found your new referential joke meme for future videos, PUR.
This was a fantastic review as always, PUR. While it's always dissapointing when an old game we once wanted to play turns out to be shite later on when we do get to play it, it certainly always makes for good ranting material!
I know this isn't normally your style or type of game you'd review, but I'd really like to know your thoughts on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. I don't see much on it in terms of reviews or anything, really. And it's a shame too since I find it to be a very heartwarming adventure game with funny dialogue, interesting characters and lots of content to do both in terms of single-player and multiplayer playthroughs. I think you'd enjoy it, and if nothing else have a fun time with a somewhat old-classic.
(At least, I find it to be a classic.)
"Well said, mutant spider monster." 😂
All jokes aside I really like how the water looked in the casket town scene.
I've never heard of this game, but just from the footage you've shown, I immediately see scenes that could have been swiped whole-cloth from KQ1-6, QFG1-3, and/or even just straight up MI1-3
It almost makes me think that maybe they outsourced the writing, or changed writers after the artwork was complete and simply changed the dialog to fit the artwork they had.
Clicked this fully expecting Fable the Journey for Kinect
Hahaha i can never get enough of cutting back to the shrieking spider gag.
I love Mr shrieking spider 😂
Glad I missed this one back in '96
I'm actually happy you reviewed this, yeah I know it wasn't suppose to be good but I watch an "abridged" video
floating around YT for some time highlighting all the YTP moments (kinda disappointed though you didn't mention the gator-lady coming on to our hero about his "short shorts" wanting to play him to sleep with her bongos LOL WTF!?). I really like the artwork too, backgrounds are beautifully rendered, just seemed like a bunch of puzzle pieces that don't fit, that's why to me it felt like it wasn't trying to be more like Discworld then Kings Quest with Monkey Island humor. I wonder if this was the product of a troubled development cycle? Could explain why it's so abrupt in places, not just the ending confrontation, some ideas not fully realized? Anyway, great video. Now I'm wondering if one day you'll explore the Kyrandia series by Westwood.
Wow what a slap in the face the uk ending is!
Yeah that seemed pretty awful with - from the sounds of it - no kind of build up or reasoning, just "mwahaha, what a twist!" Though the US one sounded sort of silly, too. Reminds me of the ending of Resident Evil 4. Great game, but god the ending.
The interesting part is that I probably would love a darker ending like that if there were SOME kind of build up. Better foreshadowing (not sure there's really ANY besides me speculating on a few quips), just something that would make you go "Ooohhhh, NOW it all makes sense." I thought the UK ending, though out of left field, was one of the most interesting things about it in a way, hah.
Might I recommend Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok?
It's free on steam.
8:38. This one actually put me in a coughing fit. The epic music, the monologue and it just _plat_
I remember finishing this game when I was a kid. It's pretty sloppy but has a strange charm!
Really enjoyed this review! The use of the crazy annoying voice-noise thing is SO funny! Esp bringing it back one final time at 10:29 :D
I was waiting for someone to review this! Huzzah for the weird obscure games and the people who review them!
_That's really the perfect word for this title: Dissapointing_
...like Peter Molyneux's promises.
That spider shriek is meme material.
I got totally bamboozled at the beginning of this video.
That spider is such a mood.
Wow never heard of this one. Too bad it's not good because it looks beautiful on some of those screens
I hope Roses will review Poptropica at some point. I know they're supposed to be for preteens, but the puzzles and adventure elements are still challenging and enjoyable enough for adults. Maybe I'm just bad at adventure games, but every time I play a new island, I can't get through the whole thing without referring to a walk-through at least once.
I love hearing about all these old adventure games and stories you have about them, reminds me of my cousins when I was little.
Ooh I still have this, loved it as a kid! The art and setting were fantastic and the dark and sarcastic themes were cool. I guess the actual gameplay was kinda whatever, but still loved it as a kid
as a child i adored this game. these pictures and sounds brought me back to my childhood. except i didn't see the giant's home! with the key under the straw pillow haha
Thanks for another great video, PUR! You mentioned that you really wanted a Monkey Island style comedy adventure in a fantasy setting- did you ever play the Simon the Sorcerer games? I played them when I was a kid (and probably WAY too young, given some of the humour...) and really used to love them. You can get both of them on GoG, worth checking out!
You and Scarulhu should do a collaborative video since both of you have such love for Adventure games. This video was a very enjoyable and hilarious review thanks for making my day!
I recently discovered your channel and I love it! You do an excellent job with your reviews and editing; can't wait until I have a few hours to myself, so I can peruse your catalog! I'm opening a channel soon myself and considering adventure game reviews...
10:30 Okay, that was about the funniest thing I've seen in quite a while.
I had this game and it was meh. I did think that having no ingame music was weird. The title theme music isn't bad at all.
... I didn't need to know this existed... I really didn't need to know... I'd also rather never hear that guy ask to get naked and swim again. Gonna have nightmares tonight, yerp...
Either that's Chris Barrie from Red Dwarf as the main character, or somebody else doing an absurdly good Arnold Rimmer impression.
Love your videos Roses. Keep them coming!
Mutant Spider Monster?!!
Kill it with fire!!!!
"Let's get naked and swim in the lake... You first."
Lol *WHAT* ?!!!
The main characters portrait is so weird, he looks like he's continually looking up at something over his head.
That snake's day animation is kind of hilarious.
An adventure game in which I could go through the whole thing without having to talk to anyone? It's just like my real life! :D
So, for some reason I've been using that Spider's sound as the Default noise for spiders in all my Pathfinder games, makes for an interesting thing when your players hear a spider that sounds like it's dying of a seizure.
Your review made feel the opposite of skeekekee! Seriously I found channel recently and I'm loving all your videos.
Ha! I always thought there was something wrong with my old PC back in the day because I couldn't hear any music in this game, turns out there was no music at all, thanks PushingUpRoses, you just solved a big mystery for me :)
I had a physical copy of this one, back in the day. It really caught my eye in the store, the art looked so pretty in the back of the box, and it turned to be a real stinker. It was really dissapointing, and I never finished it.
I watched this video and now want to play this game even more. What’s happening?
Morbid curiosity.
She's got such a lovely voice, I could listen to it all day without getting bored. As usual, that was a nice vid, funny, smart and very entertaining. Well done.
That Spider's shriek reminds me of the poorly dubbed monster screams in Chaos Wars.
3:05 I see that smeagle survived the fires and made his way away from mordor
I absolutely remember this game fro my childhood. During that phase i played adventure games almost exclusively with walkthroughs, because i was a stupid teenager that had no idea how to think.
ButI do remember it fondly. Although that may be because there were scantily clad buxxom babes around and that was just what teenage me wanted to see in a game...
Also the ending was very weird. in the version i played (german) Quickthorpe sits on a spaceship-seat and puts on some kind of mind-transfer-helmet. it's implied his brain is then pumped full of knowledge, leaving him to be locked up in a psych ward.
Fun times!
Ive been waiting for this one for freaking ever
This one reminds me of the Discworld game i found for the Playstation. I bought it from a second-hand store, and I was a big fan of Sir Terry's writing. Some of the character interactions were good & funny, but the mechenics of it are very much like this one.
3:56
Yoohoo--
Oh Mr. Wonderfu--
Yoohoo--
Oh you big--
Help me please--
Yoohoo--
Oh Mr. Wonderfu--
YoOhOo--
Etc.
one thing this game got right was the big box which i owned, was pretty unique designed to look like a book and opened like one, that's about all it was good for
Fun fact this game had an original ending, that was redone and re-released AFTER release, the reason things don't make a lot of sense is because the entire quest is taking place inside the head of a mad man in an insane asylum. Oh good you covered it :D
Yes ! You’ve made another excellent reciew of one of my childhood’s favorite (yes, I used that word -.-‘) point & click’ers. Awesome !
Thank you so much. I still have the case it came in. Looks like a big book
I’d love to see a review of ‘Realms of the Haunting’ - a creepy a$$ game from back in the day, that’ll haunt you for quite some time
I hope you didn’t take my comment as a negative shot fired at you. It was in no way intended to, I’m just thrilled you’ve made a review of a game from my childhood :-)
So nice, cant wait to see more vids
-One of your patreons ♥
The explanation for the guy who claims to be a figment of Quickthorpe's imagination could be that Quickthorpe's insane, as you suggested. i have some other guesses:
1. The guy was lying for some reason.
2. This is a setting where people can make the stuff they imagine physically manifest.
3. Quickthorpe is, without knowing it, an illusionist. He imagined the guy and unknowingly cast an illusion of him.
Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you. ^^ I played this game with my mother when I was little and the ending creeped me out. I couldn't sleep the whole night. But I think I enjoyed the rest of it? I am not sure....the only thing I remember is the stone head that talks, my friend and I roleplayed some scenes....
I need the spider scream as a ringtone immediately
Hi I love this game. My favorite point and click adventure of all time by far. Fond old memories, hundreds of hours giggling like an idiot and basking in the simpleness. Good times. Personal opinion of course. At the time it felt like it had character (and still has).
