OMG OMG, FABLE ISN'T TEH PERFECT.
Which rules you out, too, I guess?ScientificNinja said:It's really, truly sad when the editorial staff of a magazine doesn't know how to handle a little criticism, misguided or misinformed as it may be. Real professionals wouldn't give a monkey's

Jade Empire is really, really cool - especially for fans of beat 'em ups and RPGs.Gerber said:His comment about Jade Empire makes me think I'll wait till Gamespot reviews the game. And then I'll add .5 points.

Let's wait until they get the first one out, eh?Gerber said:Yea I hope Bioware makes a sequel or another one along the same vein. It gives me that OOT feeling for some reason.

Pimpbaa said:I still stand by what i said. Reviewers should be completely open minded to games regardless of where they came from or what genre they are. I grew up on mostly eastern games too, but I prefer western games at the moment (I too would be a bad reviewer). It shouldn't be used as an excuse for whatever bias they have.

Saw this on the first post
Lol. Funny how uptight some people can get over an opinion. Not just disagree, but seem to get upset about it. A call to arms has been made...!!
Redbeard said:As long as there are people here who've played through the game, can someone tell me if every area is like this, with only a small portion of the landscape accessible? I mean, are there any areas that are just one huge open space on the mini-map instead of these smallish zones connected by narrow paths? Can you also tell me if these areas shown on the mini-map are like Zelda, where you walk off the edge and a new area has to load?
Down junior. When they're doing final bug-testing on a piece of code the publisher deems reviewable, you can rest assured that the controls, among numerous other things, won't be streamlined.bbnocrossing said:The person who reviewed Fable and gave it an 8 should of gave the CLUNKY controls a break. It wasn't a finished build so couldn't they gave that a benifit of the doubt instead of knocking it on the review score?
I'd imagine the Fable review was done in a similar fashion to the Ninja Gaiden review, which required the journalist to fly to Japan and play the game at Team Ninja's office for three days until he beat it.Nameless said:8/10 is a good score, as was said didn't NG get an 8 in GMR?
Anyway, I have a few questions:
What build of Fable did GMR review? The Majority of the gaming media apparently were only treated to a 2hour romp through fable 2 weeks ago..I.E. the sudden influx of hands-on impressions from damn near everyone. Pretty much all of those publications cited that they were able spend only a couple of hours with the game, is THIS what GMR's review is based off?
Also I remember reading somewhere, CVG I believe that there was a build going around back in July. The game JUST went Gold today, so I don't invision review copies being sent out before GMR went to press..
Whatever, I'm personally not going to lose any sleep over this.

Yea, I'm gonna ask for proof on this one. Not that I really have any interest one way or another, but this thread is a great time-waster. I mean, if you can prove that GMR based their review off those few hours of hands-on, great. If not, well...yea.ScientificNinja said:DING DING DING! We have a winner.
seeing as it's not Friday night, I wouldn't bet on WarPig posting at this hour.skip said:perhaps someone from 1UP can chime in. but I hope they're off doing more productive things than this.

i could not have said it better myself. i was thinking "pompous asshole" actually. but that works too.ScientificNinja said:dickheads like me
drohne said:plus if you look at his blog, it says he likes anime, manga, karaoke, and haruki murakami. i'd be tempted to let murakami slide on merit, but how much serious postmodern fiction do you suppose this dude reads? would he be into murakami if his name was schneider or thompson or paz? probably not. wouldn't be his species of the exotic. the sheer redundancy of it is what strikes me: he lists all this japanese stuff he likes, when he could've just said "i really like anime" and let us assume the rest. it's gratuitous. i don't trust these silly anime people to do much of anything, let alone review the videogames we hold dear. it's sinister and pathological. it's pearl harbor all over again and where's my gas mask.

Musashi Wins! said:It's too late now but I just wanted to say that I really like your cover. I look forward to getting the magazine.
Everyone's got an angle, but personally I'm just glad that it's scoring high enough to justify my pre-order (so far). I'm excited about the game because it seems "different" but I wasn't expecting Jesus Christ on a interactive DVD so I'm cool with it having flaws.
Lukas said:This thread is hillarious really. This is the same Magazine that thinks Custom Robo is > Far Cry, Call of Duty, Prince of Persia, Max Payne 2, and is equal to Fable.
why do you guys have your panties all up in a wad, you wanna bet that Fable is getting 9.3+ scores on IGN, Gamespot, Gamespy, and the places that actually hold credibility
