Thats hardly an explanation, more of a prognostication. As for Gamespot, they think its their job to score everything lower than IGN so thats not exactly a difficult guess. I've never heard of 1up.com, but I'll check them out now.

I'm waiting more for Gamespy's verdict as I trust them more than pretty much everyone else, but thats just my personal bias.

Anyway you slice it I'm going to be playing this game a LOT come Sept. 14th.

Neither have I, but have you seen those kids wearing 1up shirts? The ones with the green shrooms reminiscent of the days Nintendo was moreso competition than a dying grandfather.

No Nintendo site will give Fable a good review, for this you should believe Dyne. And what I've seen of Dyne's previous posts, surely he's the best at knowing the fan-at ways of the Nintenders (those who tend the dying Nin)

What are you talking about? What Nintendo site is going to be reviewing Fable in the first place? If you're just talking about the fact that Nintendo oriented journalists are going to talk bad about it, then I honestly think that's like saying some people don't like vegetables. I mean seriously. Lots of journalists/gamers are pumped for Fable whether they own a GameCube or an Xbox. I'm a much bigger GC fan than I am Xbox, but I'm still stoked for Fable (and any other good release on the Xbox). Most of the sites you refer to are probably run by a 13 year old kid with his daddy paying the bandwidth. In which case, the people reading them are usually the same type of people. So ignore them.

I mean come on. Your whole arguement is based on the assumption that every Nintendo fan is completely biased and unwilling to see that there are other systems with good games. And that's a pretty weak arguement.

There are a lot of very open-minded Nintendo fans that are only invisible to those who are too close-minded to see them.

Isn't 1up.com somehow affiliated with EGM? They always mention it in the magazine...

[Bond]

1UP is owned by Ziff Davis, who also owns EGM.

The fact that a game that started off this ambitious was even released, let alone not turned into a monumental cluster****, is something far more than anyone could have reasonably expected.

The fact that it's still earning 9's is one of the greatest upsets in video game history.


and still, nobody's going to play it, because it's forever doomed to xbox, the greatest system that nobody loved.

That was the only post I was directing my hate at. I didn't mean to hurt any of your feelings.

[Professor S]

Hurt feelings? No. Confused me? Yes.

why the hell are you guys making assumptions about me?

Next time don't use plurals when hating one person.

[Dyne]

Haha, PAX was tiring.

[Professor S]

Make sure you give us a good write up of that after you get some sleep. I'm really anxious to hear how it was and more specifically, your thoughts on Fable in particular.

Holy Crap...
