Fable:The Lost Chapters

[MrWhitefolks]

...and the final boss battle is shit.

especially if you have slow-time and fireball lvl 4. nigga drops in under 30 seconds

Avoid. Unless your xbox is hd modded, in which case the load times are (barely) tolerable.

Otherwise, you load between every memory-size-limited postage stamp sized area, and the load times suck.

It's also really easy and the story is mediocre.

well we cant all have catgirl pastel rpg no load 2000, so some of us stick with this.

I do not know why, but this comment nearly made me spew the soda I was drinking onto my monitor.

...I want Catgirl Pastel RPG No Load 2000.

All I know about Fable is this: if I had worked on the game I would be pissed at the way it ended up. The game just feels like a giant misappropiation of developer resources.

^^^ = another example of someone who buys into the hype, then when they are dissapointed; get all pissy about it. you guys seriously need to detach the hype from these fucking games so you can enjoy them for what they are, and not for what magazines boost them up to be(or in this case, the creator himself)

If the creator/company says a game is one thing, and it turns out to be another, it's fine to be disappointing. If someone made a game and they called it "the best fighter ever" and it was a turn based strategy game (I know, it's exagerated an example but bear with me), that means that they hyped it incorrectly. This can lead to disappointment and there's nothing wrong with it. Now, if it was people on the internet and magazines saying one thing, and the company saying another, then that's fine, you should have listened to the company/creator. In short, listen to the creator/makers, if they lie, be pissed.

The developers and magazines were talking about the game being Morrowind + KOTOR + Zelda, what we got was a dumbed-down Zelda with a bad (worse) story. The game media was hyping the game up as the be-all end-all up to a week before it came out (remember that ridiculous 8 part or whatever preview on IGN). I dont think anyone can seriously detach themselves from all that hype and end up being happy with it. The game media let us down with this one, the last time I remember them getting something so wrong was Trespasser (though Fable is much better than Trespasser).

Im all for going in with reasonable expectations but there's a limit.

What's Trespasser?

Anyway, I'm sick of previews for games, because they all sound really positive and like the game is the greatest thing ever made, then the same place will have a review that complains about every little thing.... where was all the cool stuff you talked about loving in the preview?

$20 is perfect.

Makes me glad I trade my copy original copy of Fable for a sealed cube version of RE2 a few months back.

Not for these folks.

www.google.com to learn the full story, one of the most overhyped duds ever released.

Definitely true, previews nowadays are just press releases not written by the company. The interviews are a joke too.

I didn't follow any hype about this game at all, NONE! I did however have the idea that this would be a really good action RPG/adventure game and it wasn't. It wasn't horrible but it sure as fuck wasn't really good either.

I wasn't pissy about the game at all. I just saw all the potential(while playing it) that this game had but it squandered it all.

These are just a couple of endless examples of the problems with the game.

What?

Ohhh.
