anyone else interested in how this game is going to turn out?
for those that don't know, this is regarded as the most advanced RPG to come out...aging and morality play a role along with a highly advanced AI....here's some articles

All I can say is I swear to god I wont buy this game no matter how great it is said to be ... Molyneux fooled the whole world with Black & White. And I will never - never - forgive him. And, Im pretty sure he might do that again. Fuck him.

That may be true, 7even, but remember, he's been working on this game for over 5 years. It started out as "Project Ego" for the PC, but evolved into Fable for Xbox. This game is about two amazing things: 1) The ability to do and be whatever you want. Extremely open-ended, and a VERY advanced AI. And 2) Choosing whether to be good, evil, neutral, or w/e the hell you want.
I have this game preordered, and I am very excited for it. I've been playing Morrowind for the past month just to hold off my hunger for the game. The big thing of this game is the AI...its the most advanced AI to come out. Its simply amazing how they react to you. Watch some gameplay videos of it 7even, and tell me what ya think.

I think it looks like a fantastic helluva game, but then again I thought Black and White was a fantastic helluva game before I played it myself after buying it on the first day. I remember like it was yesterday, EVERYBODY was so damn excited about Black and White. The Game Mags, my friends, me, the tv shows.. everyfuckinone was hyped about it. Then it came out, and it sucked. Delayed for years, hyped for years, still sucked dick and was full of bugs. You could not even complete the game properly because your creature wont be re-sized due to a major bug.
I fear the same thing might happen with Fable.
To me, Molyneux is yet a genius when it comes to marketing. Everybody loves his games until they come out.
If Fable is as good as everybody thinks, Im down with it. But I dont think it is, since the whole world was fooled by Molyneux a few years ago.. with Black and White.

well they admitted this time that they cut out alot of features that they would have loved to do, such as online play
anyways i think you should read that 10 page preview off of IGN because thats the person's hands on experience with the game...plus you really don't have to worry about too many bugs on a console. developers like to get it right on the first shot
but i feel you, you got burnt one time and it's easy to have some reservations about jumping head first into the newest promise
-
Yea ive been lookin forward to this for like 4 years
cant wait till sept 14,gonna cop it tha first day prolly

I read that in the US-Version the Sex will be censored, and in the German Version the violence will be cut down to a minimum.
Now how great is that. I guess I gotta try to get my hands on the UK Version... if Overseer reads this ... is UK-Xbox PAL?
-
That's fuckin gay that they are censoring shit

I think all European versions are PAL..

I'll be downloading it when it comes out but I doubt I'll play it that much cause I hate RPGs. I'll only play if you can kill innocent people and shit like that and it doesn't turn out to be gay.

you can have your xbox chipped so that you can download games off the internet... i personally don't believe in game piracy, the guys that make games put in 1000 times more work than musicians put into cd's and games are much more enjoyable....

I don't totally believe that. For new games, yes...since developers have to put in a hell of a lot more time and effort into games nowadays. But for older games, I've downloaded a few older pc titles (doom, ages of empires, empire earth). But Fable...they been workin on it for 5 YEARS...FIVE FUCKING YEARS.
To people who download this game, I have absolutely no respect for you as a person or a gamer.

That's gay, who the hell are you to judge someone for downloading shit. So you have no problem with downloading Doom, but if I download Fable, I'm an asshole? Maybe if they didnt charge 50 fucking dollars a game I would buy more shit. It costs them about 5 dollars to manufacture each game TOPS. So they're really raping me by charging 50. Why not fuck them?

I havent bought a PC game since medal of honor allied assault (3-4 years ago). Ive downloaded so many games, and i dont even care.
90% of the games ive download, i never would have bought in the first place.

$50 is a rip off? Do you know how much money the developers put into Fable? Millions. Do you know much time and effort they put into Fable? 5 years worth. So you're gonna sit there and tell me that they're raping YOU for charging $50 for Fable? Wow......just wow.....
Maybe if it took you 5 years to earn that $50, then I would say go right ahead and download it ::)

I know they've been developing it for 5 years, but its not like I'm the only one that's paying 50 dollars. If they charged a reasonable amount (20 bucks) they would still turn a hell of a profit and the consumers would be happy too.

its working big time for Espn football.

ummm lets see which is harder. update an already existing engine, switch some players around, change some logic around and TA DA you have ESPN 2k6
vs
creating a story, characters and environment, creating the graphics engine and logic and then trying to get hype up for a new thing that no one has ever done before
i can see why one is $20 and the other is $50

no they wouldn't. game developers work hellish hours just to create a game... they work roughlyy 12-16 hour days 5-6 days a week so doing a little math and even giving the developers minimum wage....(which is far from what they actually get paid) you'd have to pay one developer $112,476 for the 5 years of their time. now seeing as there's anywhere from 75 to 200 people working on a game...taking a nice average number of 125 workers the total is now $14,059,500. this is the barest i can get the figures, no added costs or anything
so at a $20 price tag per game they'd have to sell 702,975 copies just to break even
all this math boils down to you're a moron
if you want to comaplin about an industry that should have things cheaper, try music... games have advanced with the time, starting off at small cartridges, moving up to larger ones, cd's GDROMS, andd DVD's....each time they fulfil the use of their medium
music has gone pretty much along the same lines, but they have never superpassed the the cd medium....you can fit well over 400 songs on a cd and we still get around 15 songs per cd for $15

No i meant sega is getting more sales because they lowered their prices.
