I'm probably going to get a wambulance for this but i'm serious, I'm not defending the game nor am i saying that they shouldn't have given it 2/10. They can give it any number they want, but the purpose of Meta Critic is to collect an aggregate scores from sites which have similar standards. 99% of the sites would give 2/10 to a game that was completely broken other then the fact that it booted up and actually started. Destructoid seems to give 2/10 mostly because of overhype and a bad stor...
If i had not listened to any of the Hype for Fable 1 (and there wasn't a loading screen every two minutes) it probably would have been my favourite RPG of last gen (KOTOR takes that) unfortunately i have been paying attention to the Hype on Fable 2 and it better have everything he said is gonna be in there.
When i first bought it i couldn't find a quick match at all, figured it was cause it just came out, connected once to this two player match but i was stuck in a lobby while they played. Haven't tried since.. enjoying the game though even if it's a repetitive button masher.
Thanks for the comments, great suggestions too. I always hated when failing a QTe would force you to do it over and over again. There should be alternative opportunities where they make sense.
Manual Camera control wouldn't have worked with the combat system, period. The camera in Force Unleashed (at least in the demo) sucks just as bad, if not worse IMO.
The Death animation is your punishment for dying, the alternative would have been worse. would you rather sit through 15 sec of that or 15 minutes of playing through the same mission loosing all the loot you've picked up on the way? If it had let you skip the animation you wouldn't even bother with trying to stay ali...
I've seen video of the Lego MMO months ago and these guys are "revealing" some concept art and "first" details (which are of the 'no duh' variety). I've found it! Lego Universe video attached... scooop!
This game is getting hyped by people who've actually played the damn game, the same people who were sceptical after seeing videos like that one. This wacko on Ninja loot calls watching one crappy video of it an "in Depth" look and is ready to pass judgement. Being reserved is one thing but completely disregarding what's been written about the deep vehicle creation mechanic and gigantic world to explore and basing your decision on a two minute clip is just ignorant.
That would be sweeter then High Fructose Corn syrup on Jessica Alba's inner thigh...
The possibilities are endless... make your own Halo game... downloading some nutcase's recreation of Halo 1 and 2 on 3's engine... i think i just wet myself..
awesome
Game Informer actually scored something less than a 9. They really must have hated this game. which would worry me, but after multiple playthrus of the demo I know that I'll enjoy the game in spite of it's glaring flaws ie. dodgy camera, corny voice acting, Jaggie's galore, and plane-Jane foreground scenery and pointless back tracking. Why? because what it does right is what i'm most interested in: The loot collection, customization, Fluid Battle Mechanics(once you get the hang of it), smooth...
I haven't heard it yet(i am a regular listener) but i thought i'd just get this in first... If anyone in the world should understand what Penny Arcade was doing it should be a group that calls themselves "Sarcastic Gamers" seriously WTF? if they were honestly offended by it then they should change their name to PC whiners... i think they may have have just been joking around themselves (i'll listen to it at work today and find out) but if their actually serious about it then i think...
that cracked me up... u made my day
If he had played a little longer he would've foreseen getting busted by the cops. Either that or he assumed he'd just be released 6 hours later without his weapon and a have a little less money in his pocket. Maybe they shouldn't have cut the prison rape scene out of the game. He could've seen the real consequences of being a real criminal, well i guess he will now, idiot.
The PS3 has limited hard drive space, with PSN games, mandatory installs and i don't know, other movies you may want to purchase it's perfectly reasonable to assume that they would accommodate you when you want to free up some space temporarily.
It's not like they have to pull a DVD off a shelf to give to someone who threw his copy in the trash. They have a virtually limitless supply, so there is no good reason they shouldn't let him download it again, unless he tried downloading to a ...
I feel your predicament RayRay but there's always options, PSN games, picking yourself up a DS. Infact, that right there is probably your best option, there are a tonne of simple & addictive games on there whose main focus is gameplay... best yet you can play them on the toilet!
and i don't think i've heard much rumbling from DS and PSP fanboys at all in the console wars? lil more covert ops i guess.
I don't think there was any doubt that the game would eventually come out.. they've spent too much money to can it now...
and
1) It's leading on the PS3, i read somewhere (i think kotaku) that that there not even starting the 360 port until the Japanese PS3 version is finished. which means it's gonna look as good as it ever would have been on the PS3 had it remained exclusive, then their gonna do a (potentially) lazy port to the 360. If anything PS3 fanboys who care about...
If Hillary Clinton walked out half way through a speech from someone who was criticizing the US for it's foreign policy, I would think she was ignorant and unpatriotic. A patriot doesn't blindly assume there is nothing wrong with their country. They find out what is wrong, and try to fix it. How does she expect to find out what's wrong, if she wont listen to the people telling her somethings wrong?
because that would be the only equivalent... or George Bush winning a Nobel Peace Prize.
If Rare puts the same amount of polish on this game as they've done on all their other games then it's gonna kick a whole lot of ass.
It's the kind of game i've always wanted, can't wait to build a pimped out Voltron. I just hope they have level editor as well.
Banjo looks like a freaking Lego Character... I hope they fixed that for the final version.. otherwise i'm looking foward to having a game i can play with my 1 yr old, he's getting sick of GTA.
I guess it would have been to obvious to have Seinfeld say "I'm a Mac" then Bill gates say "I'm A PC" then Jerry go on about how he can edit movies out the box, while Bill Morphs into the Crysis suit and say's "well i can run Crysis, Biatch!" then blows Jerry's brains out.
