| Doobie_wop said: I knew this would happen, instead of working on all the positives that Fable 2 had and then improving on them, they introduced a whole bunch of new systems that are inferior without fixing the flaws of the old game. The people that are dismissing the Destructoid review should probably read it before getting defensive, Jim makes plenty of good points and he actually identifies the problems the game has. Trusting sites like IGN and Gamespot would be silly, especially when their sites are plastered with Fable ads. The guys from Giant Bomb are the most trust worthy reviewers on the Internet, they have no corporate backing and they are some of the best in their field. They gave the game a 3 out of 5. I'm disappointed in Lionhead, they had something special, but Peter's bighead got in the way. I won't judge it any further until I can get a chance to rent the game, but the things I was worried about after reading and watching all those previews seem to be real. |
The Giant Bomb review was weak and didn't even mention co-op. I wonder if it was done by the guy who gave Halo: Reach a 4 who played the campaign on heroic and got frustrated because he kept dying. It never ceases to amaze me though how much stock people put into reviewers without getting their hands on the game. How would you know new systems are inferior without playing the game? And when has Jim Sterling ever made good points?
