Fable: The Journey achievement lijst is uitgebracht

Fable: The Journey achievement lijst is uitgebracht, of eigenlijk beter, gelekt. Alleen al aan de lijst met achievements is te zien waarom Fable zo populair is onder gamers. De referenties naar andere games en films is best wel hilarisch te noemen en toont zo één van de sterkste dingen aan Fable, het goede gevoel voor humor.

Natuurlijk zit de lijst met achievements niet alleen vol met humor, maar ook vol met SPOILERS. Dus wil je nog niets te weten komen over hoe het verhaal zal lopen, lees dan zeker niet verder.

In totaal zullen er 48 achievements te behalen zijn, hoeveel Gamer Points deze zullen opleveren is nog niet bekend. Een zestal achievements valt te behalen in de Arcade Mode, deze behaal je door medals te scoren, hoe dit in zijn werk gaat is echter nog niet duidelijk.

Aan de namen van de achievements te zien zullen er acht achievements behaald kunnen worden door het voltooien van de verhaallijn. Waarbij je moet vluchten voor ‘The Devourer’, in het bezit komt van ‘The Gauntlets’, Fergus redt van problemen veroorzakende Hobbes, je een compromis sluit met een welbekende Balverine, uiteindelijk toch ‘The Devourer’ verslaat, uit Bladebarrow ontsnapt en zo je ‘journey’ beëindigd.

Dit is een hele mond vol en natuurlijk erg kort door de bocht en doet het verhaal wel erg simpel lijken. Het zal natuurlijk ook veel uitgebreider zijn dan nu beschreven, maar de hoofdlijn is wel duidelijk.

Na acht achievements voor de verhaallijn en zes voor de Arcade Mode blijven er nog 34 over voor dingen zoals het behalen van vijfhonderd kills, het kopen van skill-upgrades, het openen van kisten, maar ook voor het mollen van twintig vijanden terwijl je in de lucht hangt.

Als ik eerlijk ben, moet ik zeggen dat sommige referenties me best wel deden giechelen, maar van sommige begreep ik geen bal. Kun jij alle referenties spotten en vind jij ze ook grappig, of is deze vorm van humor niet aan jou besteedt? Check de lijst hieronder.
