I\'d be really suprised if you could name several console action/adventure games that have sold over a million.  Zelda is the only one that comes to mind but that\'s an established franchise...maybe Prince of Persia but I\'m not sure, apparently it did well enough to warrant another sequel.  I kind of want to throw Devil May Cry in there but it just doesn\'t fit, imo...

need i mention the development time again?  how much did fable cost to produce anyways?

You would figure that since the game had been hyped for so long, it would be longer than 10 hours. Did they take a 6 month break every year?

holy shit, I\'ve asked this like three times already...how is that relevant to you or me?

Maybe they attend the same seminars as Rare does on productivity.

but rare produces games that last more than 10 hours, no?

If you just run through their platformers, ignoring the item collecting, hell no.

like i said in me page long rant...

maybe they throught...

"well it took us 5 years to make,,, it must take them that long to play"

Banjo-Kazooie took me around 12 hours to get everything the first time through, the second and third time through it took me around 7 hours.

Donkey Kong 64, that is the biggest game I never finished.  I remember being around 40% at 12 hours in.  The levels were gargantuan, lots of items to collect, and numerous objectives.  It was a rental.

Star Fox Adventures took me 15 hours to get 94%.

Never finished Jet Force Gemeni, couldn\'t get into it.

I only played the multiplayer aspects of Golden Eye and Perfect Dark.

so any comparison to rare is moot

Not really.  Just goes to show that the average game, with the exception of RPGs, runs between 10-20 hours.  Considering the reviews have stated that Fable would take around 20-30 hours to do everything I\'d say it\'s pretty standard.

still pathetic for a 5 year delayed game to contain ultimately 20-30 hours of detailed gaming.

So true.

Oh and Rare makes crap generic platform games.
Rare suxors.
Ico suxors.
And I\'ll find out if Fable suxors or not!

round and round we go...

Just to take the conversation in a different route, when did the game actually start getting delayed.  I mean, it was in development for probably two-three years I\'m guessing since that seems to be the standard these days.

it was supposed to be a launch title at one point, no?
