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.

How many people here are even getting the game? All I know is myself, DM, Strangler, Bond, SC (?), Acebot (?). The game is just a little over two weeks away. I can't wait, regardless of it's review scores.

Yeah, I'm getting it. I've had it fully pre ordered since last July, I think, but I bet I'll still get it a day or two late

We should make some kind of sticky or main thread for Fable impressions and stories when the game comes out. That'll be fun.

Are you amazed by the fact that the smilie is actually being used, or his mean response to your post?

I actually thought that it was probably the most appropriate use of that emoticon... ever.

And Acebot, nice find but I wouldn't trust what reps say completely. He is a marketing guy (I guarantee it) and coming from a business background marketing guys spend more time learning how to bull**** than actually learning about the game they are marketing.

I was just at PAX. I played it for an hour, if not more. I beat the Earth Gnome and I suppose that's really far in.

I do love it. I haven't dissed it once in this thread... why the hell are you guys making assumptions about me? Stop the damn damage control. I know for a fact some website reviewers won't like it, and IGNXbox and TeamXbox are, well... the most "fanboy"istic sites on Xbox out there.
