Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Another preview of the 2008 RPG of the year!

Anyone who expects a Peter Molyneux game to be the "best [anything] of the year" is analogous to that guy you know. You know, that guy who tells you one week about how he's going to make millions selling Cutco knives or Southwestern Company books door-to-door, and the week after tells you that he's going to make tons of money from a certain chap in Nigeria who needs to transfer some money, and the week after that informs you of a great deal he just got on a time-share, and the week after that... etc., etc.

There's one born every minute, it seems.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

I don't understand why everyone is giving Starcraft so much flack? Fable2 being the 08 RPG of the year is his opinion. Can he not have an opinion? Sure, the fact of the matter is that Fallout3 (and probably Too Human) will probably humiliate Fable2 in terms of every gameplay mechanic but that doesn't mean the man can't have an opinion does it?!

Fallout 3 has gone from a potential highlight of the year to being a game that desperately needs to avoid being a flop IMO. Just head over to DMeisterJ's "flop or not" threads to hear what people think of Fallout 3.

Fable 2 on the other hand is getting nothing but positive press, and it's not coming from Molyneux, it is coming from people that have spent hands-on time with the game.

 


I don't think that it's fair for you to call Fallout anything close to a flop based on opinions on this forum (which also implies that alot of people in this thread would choose fallout3 over fable2), but call Fable the 2008 RPG of the year based on press previews. If anything, Fallout3 has more hype and better impressions coming form the press than Fable 2.

And don't mind the Fallout faithfull, they want Fallout3 to be exactly like Fallout2. It would be a shame for Bethesda to put some new paint on Fallout2 with additional features and call it Fallout3 just for those rabid fans.

If this thead was about a PS3 or Wii RPG there wouldn't be any trolling. I don't understand why people hate the 360 so much on this forum.

 How is it trolling ? What is trolling is claiming the RPg of the year will be on the 360 with your only evidence being pure speculation.

 

 




Ofcourse I forgot to say

FABLE 2 is the ONLY 360 game this year I am very interested in, luckily my 360 friend wants it to



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

 Oh that's just BS.  If anyone claimed in their thread title that something was going to be the best game in it's genre the year it comes out without having played it and without the game being the sole contendor in it's genre then there would always be trolling.  Want me to make a thread about "Best shooter of 2008 gets a teaser trailer" and show the Resistance 2 teaser, and test your theory?

Alright fine, what if I did it about MGS4 ya anal retentive so and so. Just because you didn't like Resistance (which is questionable since I see nothing to confirm you've played it) doesn't mean it isn't a good game and possible contendor. I didn't like GeOW myself but I don't go around telling people they couldn't possibly enjoy it and saying it's not great like some people do because that would make me a damned know-it-all. (hint: I'm talking about you)

 Posts like this is why the term "Fanboy" was created.
