Hardcore Gamer: What happens when non-Japanese game developers attempt to create a Japanese-style role playing game? One with all the tropes, anime aesthetics, and presentation values typical of a Nipponese video game? Well… it’s a bit of a hit or miss affair really. The indie developed Pier Solar is probably one of the better examples of a solid Japanese-style RPG developed by team with little to no Japanese staff. Then you have something like Sudeki, which was a rather unusual title released for the original Xbox back in 2004.
Nick writes: "Something that you don’t see that much off in today’s gaming release schedule is a new Western third-person action-RPG with the colourful charisma of Sudeki."
I'm really surprised to see a article about Sudeki, even if is not a very deep one. I remember picking this up after the original Fable because I was craving more RPGs in my life and I was suprised by it.
It was in no alway comparable to Fable. To tell the true if you put it against most other RPGs of the time it would lose in pretty much all aspects. But at the same time it was colorful, had a somewhat decente worldbuilding and was very fun to play.
It's a shame that the game flopped hard and therefore any chance of a sequel was scrapped. But at least the game is available on Steam for dirty cheap ($6), so it's easy to play this days.
Too bad the game isn't backwards compatible. I have a copy sitting on my shelf but I never got around to it and digging out the old Xbox and its controller isn't really something I want to do any time soon.

I don't know whether to be disappointed that Jade Empire isn't #1 and Morrowind isn't #2 or amazed that someone actually knows about Blinx and Mace Griffin.
as said by others: Grabbed by the ghoulies was also in Rare Replay and that didn't stop them + it would be like a reward for people who own the disc as they can now play it in 4K on their Xbox One X. Also: Live and Reloaded had Multiplayer, Bad Fur Day did not

Because it takes time to sort out licensing/legal issues and to iron out all the bugs that comes from getting 15+ year old software to run on hardware it was never designed for.
Pretty much there's not as many OG Xbox BC titles compared to 360 so it's not possible to do new titles every week. It seems like they want to go with the batches route. I guess it's going to be 13 or so at a time.
SFL Chronicle: There are times that I play games that get a bad reputation and I immediately understand why. But then there are those moments when I play games that get a bad reputation and I can’t, for the life of me, figure out the logical reasoning behind the complaints thrown at them. This top five is a list of games that are considered “bad” by most of the gaming media – and in some cases the gamers themselves – that are are actually pretty damned good.
tbh, I am beginning to see this sort of trend where games are being bashed for being a little different from what it was. They will say it's nothing like it and blah blah blah. In the end, they try to say Prime was best in the series even though they went through a loop hole trying to back up their opinions with older games like Super Metroid. I always wanted to play Metroid in 3d person and this game did just that for me. Not all fans of the series dig First Person view.
EDIT: I always play games for what it is.
5.The first Fable was great, it was the gradual decline of the sequels that people hated.
4. Never heard of it.
3. I really hated the way Samus was portrayed, but I feel the Prime games were always going to be a tough act to follow.
The system used to fire missiles is godawful though.
2. Never played it, I should probably do so.
1. I liked the battle system , but the story was pretty bad and the dialogue atrocious.
I didnt realize Fable was considered a "bad" game, I thought people and critics really loved it
I have yet to get FF X-2 a try though, its on my to do list
Lol this brings back memories. Memories of seeing it in the bargain bin at EB Games for $3.99 and never picking it up -- who's with me?
Actually enjoyed this game and was hoping for a sequel.
