And "schooling" me? Hardly. It was funny, I admit. But in the end, we all know that in REAL LIFE, you spent your Friday night in line to buy a Harry Potter book. A children\'s book. Do you knot have a social life? Aren\'t you in college or something?
My panties aren\'t in a wad. I\'m simply antogonizing you guys with something I find funny and sad all the same. You took the bait and here we are.
You spent the entire thread trying to insult me and you came across looking like a dimwitted jackass. You were schooled.
Yeah, one Friday night spent getting a book I wanted to read. If you really wanted to know I ended up going out the next night. Your attempts at insulting me are absolutely pathetic.
1.Why are you complaining since Fable wasnt completely dumped?People complained but bought it.What\'s your point?
2.As Ryu pointed out Fable is an RPG
3.Fable didnt raise complains because of length alone.Length was one of the many
4.Peter promised more hours
5.SOTC has enough originality and innovation to make up for the lentgh(Something Fable didnt have).
This is not about Fable\'s commercial success, it\'s specifically aimed at a handful of people on this very forum who are hypocrites. They know who they are.
To label Fable an RPG is a tad too general, don\'t you think? I mean, if we are being general then you\'re right, but it\'s not like we can throw Final Fantasy and Fable into the same category, they play way too differently. Action RPGs with real time combat are much shorter than turn-based RPGs heavy with cut-scenes and CG movies.
What complaints other than length were there, Uni?
Again, it doesn\'t matter what Peter said. The game is what the game is. Peter might have said it was going to be something else but the reality is that it\'s not.
Countering number five here: Last I checked Fable took home alot of better than average scores, much like SoTC. The only arguement you have is one of bias, and it just won\'t get you anywhere.
And yours is?
God damnit, Uni. A game is scored based on what it is. I just think it\'s ridiculous to have different standards depending on how high you or some other jackass set your expectations (even given prior information). I could sit here and say how much SoTC sucks because I was expecting it to be longer, or the monsters more numerous, etc because it\'s been in development so long. I\'m not going to because it would be stupid. The game is what it is.
Let me give another example of how ridiculous this all is. Do you remember what Ken Kuturagi said about the Playstation 2? Remember how much hype the emotion engine got, or how the PS2 was going to be "like jacking into the matrix"? How about the grand plans Sony had for online, or how emotion engine was going to be rendering movies, or the PS3 was going to be 1000X more powerful than the PS2...a bunch of lofty expectations. If you were to hold them against the PS2 then you could say the machine is an abysmal disappointment. Do I need to spell it out for you how fucking stupid that sounds? The PS2 is a great console for what it is and what it delivered.
Did I hit close enough to home for you? Surely you can understand that.
