The game does not entirely rest within a single genre. Were you to say that Fallout 3 must also contain compelling action adventure content that game would probably have lost. When they created the awards for each group they asked the question what game is the best within a rigid definition. Not necessarily which game is the best overall. Seeing as Fable 2 did not rigidly define itself within a single genre its probably fair to say it really had no chance, because for lack of a term it was not hardcore in a given genre. Please do not have me explain the difference between a superior all around athlete, and a star quarterback. Were I to do that, and you still did not understand. Then there is no hope, because the simple concept would simply be well beyond you. To keep it really simple Fable won by being in all around better game. Which does not mean it must be better at any one particular thing. |
you sure about this? i would have assumed they nominated games for genres and then picked the best one out of those games. while you may be correct in that as a hybrid it works, i highly doubt your analysis of the process is correct.
