360 RPG's

If the cross through the ring is on your status page with her (where it shows her likes and dislikes, how much she loves you, how funny she finds you, and how attractive she finds you), then you only need to worry if the bar slides toward that icon. If she dislikes you enough to reach the icon then she will divorce you.

You may need to try a bit of seducing and chat-up lines to try and get her knocked up, and remember not to use a condom.

I got my first Fable 2 condom from a dig patch my dog found - happy days


Remember that if you're not careful about the sex, something like this may happen (happened to a friend of mine):

If you don't like magic in games you'll be wanting to steer of all of those sorts of games - did you read any reviews about what the game actually had in it?

Oh I love the final fantasy series and JRPG's fantasy stuff is much more interesting (with it's more sci-fi/contemporary settings and themes) than that Tolkeinite crap that extends such a shadow over the genre in the west.

I've read reviews of Oblivion, I've had mates rave about it and I thought since I loved Fallout 3 soo much it was worth giving it another shot, alas it still stimulates me as much as a Tesco car park.

Magic I don't hate per se, I like it in JRPG's but in first person games it's a poor substitute for long range shooting.

I don't mind Fable 2's setting and theme so much as it clearly has a sense of humour and is more contemporary than the bombastic stilted rheotric and aesthetic of purer Tolkein inspired fantasy. I mean the early interactions with the King in Oblivion are just so awful, the kind of souless dialogue I'd expect from George Lucas, not the same people who were capable of making FallOut 3, though to be fair they were simply sticking to the conventions of the genre/series.

I think Fable 2 is the first game on 360 that I can actually sit down and get lost in for hours. I found GTA IV to be good in shorter blasts.
But I'm really enjoying it now. Now I got a book to teach me a pose to get the woman in the bed. Heh, 2 wifes and 2 children.
and a few other funny moments.

I've never really had problems with JRPG's. But Lost Odessy I didn't get on with well at all. My problem was: SPOILER:

This gongora bloke. Under House arrest he was. But much to the royal suprise Gongora reached his quarters and saved him from being poisoned. Well, I wonder who in the hell could have sneaked into the kingdom to spike his soup. Story is important with these kinds of games. This one is crap.

Good to know you're enjoying it now

And remember, if you ever get bored of any of them, feel free to get them killed

Lost Oddysey, Eternal Sonata and Star Ocean would be my votes for best RPGs on the system.
Fallout 3 gets a mention for being completely different, and Fable 2 gets a mention for being a lot of fun, but ultimately very short-lived.

I haven't played Tales of Vesperia yet to be able to comment on that
