That was the worst game ending I've had to endure in a long time, fuck Reaver.

I wanted to hear the speech.

On that note Fable 3 is apparently pretty abysmal as well. Damn I was kinda thinking of buying it just to see if I could kill Reaver.

Man I'm pissed sealing Reaver in a pit with immortal sexually frustrated balverines wasn't one of the end game wishes. Fucker stole my kill. And killed BARNUM.

I actually killed whats-his-face at the end on accident. Out of habit, I pressed the gun button to pull out my gun so I could kill him when he was done, but the game interpreted that as just straight-up shooting him.

ALSO: I don't see why people get so pissed at the game. I mean, it's not a great game by any stretch of the imagination, but at the same time I'd say it isn't really awful either. It's right in the middle.

Fable to me seemed to be lacking a lot of the elements of RPGs that I enjoy, such as strategic battles, for instance. It just seemed like I hack and slashed my way through it, and it isn't particularly challenging. The reason for this is probably because it was developed for the XBOX console market, to take advantage of how one would play an RPG with dual control sticks and so on.

Fable 2 for instance hasn't even gotten a PC port, though I hear they are going to try and do one for Fable 3. But it's still being developed the console first and so I think people should realize that. Games like Fallout for instance are developed with the PC market in mind and are then ported to consoles. Fable is the exact opposite.

EDIT: Also NonCon the level of enjoyment you derived from it may be helped by getting it for free as opposed to full price. I've played lots of games I bought for five dollars and didn't have too much of a problem with, whereas other people hate them because they paid full price and felt cheated (for instance I got into an argument with my friend over the decency of Half-Life 2: Episode One, which he hated because it was so short. But then I realized that when he bought it was fairly expensive for such a short game, whereas I'd gotten it with the Orange Box so the fact that it was only four hours long didn't bother me, plus I got to jump into Episode Two immediately. So the price can affect how we react to games).

I'll agree to that I liked Fable 2 more than msot people seem to (the Barnum thing being the main thing that gets me angry) and I got it in a boxset with my 360 so not free but the price was absorbed by the console's so it felt like it was free.

This is why I practically never buy games anymore unless I'm pretty much guaranteed they'll be good. If I hadn't gotten it for free, I would have gotten it through Gamefly, which would have absorbed the cost that way. I never really have a hard time hating games I get free or from Gamefly. While paying sixty dollars for a mediocre game might make the player more pissed off, I'm inclined to attribute that to poor judgment on the player's part than the actual quality of the game.
