A user on Reddit has leaked a photo of Fable Legends showing all of the microtransactions it plans to add.
The link shows you to the photo of the pricing plan that Fable Legends plans to have on its microtransactions. You will be able to purchase gold using you own money.
The advertised “best offer” is getting 12,800 coins of gold for $59.99. The prices go lower from there. 6000 gold costs $29.99, 2850 gold is $14.99, 1850 gold is $9.99 and 850 gold is only $4.99.
Obviously, a ton of people are upset about this. Microtransactions have been included in AAA games more frequently as they are popular amongst smartphone games.
Anticipation can turn into disappointment so often in the video game world. Canceled video game sequels can feel devastating, especially those that promise to expand upon the thrilling stories of their predecessor. Wealth of Geeks runs down some of the most disappointing cancelations that kept anticipated sequels in the dark.
The orginal prey 2 better be on this list.
And it is. Man if could've got this instead. Wonder why no one's step up to do this kinda game yet. I think there's one in development for pc, it's cyberpunk Era but it takes place in some huge apartment complex I think. Anyway I'm saying this not knocking the prey that came out cause I did enjoy that to but really wanted prey 2 (canceled)
There have been so many games from major developers that we have been excited to finally play, that somehow, in some way, got axed before they were ever completed.
It's time to take a look back, and pour one out for all of the lost brothers and sisters of gaming that were taken before their time.
My top 10
Star Wars 1313 - This was my if Star Wars and Mass Effect had a baby, sorta..
Silent Hills - P.T. nuff said.
Deep Down - Visuals were stunning. Capcom, please.
Agent - it has become the R* version of TLG.
Bioshock VITA - It was legitimately planned and in the works, until it wasn't..
Visceral Star Wars - Visceral, Hennig, 3rd person Star Wars action.
Scalebound - Looked awesome early on, other than the Beats By Dre..
Prey 2
Infamous VITA (rumor)
Infamous VITA was a rumor. It was to be called Infamous: Electric Souls and Nate Fox pretty much promised me. Darn you Nate.
The Santa Monica space RPG was a shame. Too bad SSM has such high standards, i bet it wasn't that bad.
Fable Legends? Really? Every other game on that list I can agree with but that. That game never had hype. It had artificial hype from people who wanted it to be more than what it was looking to become. It was hardly ever spoken of outside of list wars and some poor schmuck who was forced to write about the game because it made an appearance at some convention. It wasn't what people wanted. They wanted a proper Fable game. They got a garbage asymmetrical multiplayer game in the vein of Evolve but even less exciting.
Eh, I think the original concept was decent enough, even if it was nothing spectacular. However it felt like the more and more they showed the worse it looked.
Gamerheadquarters; "Fable is one of my favorite series, it was a great initial RPG for me to get into back in the day and honestly Xbox hasn't been the same this generation without it. "
You don't have to buy the gold, you can earn it in game. The game is surprisingly very fun and addictive.
Hard to be sure just how bad this is without knowing the kind of stuff available for gold, but it does appear they are going for just about the worst kind of F2P model possible.
Could be worse though. At least these terrible micro-transactions are in a free to play game where they belong, and not a full priced retail game.
Not bad , much easier to buy money, than have to go around killing random enemies for gold for annoying amount of time . much easier this way .
Its ftp....pretty much expected microtransactions of some kind. As noted above...you can try it free....you don't like it....too grindy...just delete. Not sure why the outrage but I guess people need to be angry about something.
