There is a reason why it was cancelled. Why MS ever greenlit this is beyond me. Fable 3 was bad but it wasn't anything close to this abortion.
>>334244179
SWTOR isn't an IP. It's one game within an IP. And it's one game within a subfranchise within that IP.
>>334244138
Dont remind me.
I recall playing Banjo Kazooie in WalMart ages ago, finally buying a N64 and playing it and Tooie.
Then....years later....Microsoft happened....Nuts and Bolts happened...
>>334240690
RIP furry simulator
You know the one....
Is this the one that was going to have one player be sort of a "dungeon master"? That seemed cool as fuck.
>>334244271
My sister bought me nuts and bolts for my birthday because she loved watching me okay banjo Kazooie when we were kids. I enjoyed it but I'm still pissed at Microsoft

I'm just kidding they're great games. But as IPs they flopped.
>>334244404
>mfw i actually enjoyed that game unironically
>>334240690
So if gears bombs, where does microsoft go from here?
Is Microsoft exiting the console business? It seems they're killing off all their studios. I mean what's left beyond Rare and 343?
I like fable 1, 2, and despite how shitty it was i also like fable 3
>>334244112
Goddamnit. Still gets me... it was supposed to be special damnit! WHAT HAPPENED?!
>>334244610
Microsoft has no idea what to do anymore. Just look at its recent OS.
>>334244610
maybe their trying to make way for new blood?mfw trying to stay positive about the industry
>>334240690
RIP.
too bad the Fable sequels never lived up tp the original.
>>334244724
If they get really desperate, I guess they could buy out another huge american dev like bioware or bethesda.
>>334240690
A company of hype, broken promises, and terrible organization closes its doors.
I'm still hoping for a good game that builds off of Black & White.

Lion head wasn't making any good games. Every game since 2 has been a bomb before critic wise and performance wise.fable legend was gonna be another turd that ms would never see a return in profits on. The last 5 studios they closed all had the same track record and we're created for making shitty kinect game's .
I'm actually happy they did all this. Now they can give the fable series to a company that actually gives a damn.
>>334245002
Good ill finally get a good port of Halo 3
>>334244404
That's what happens when the developer is too big for their britches and the guy in charge is a douchebag.
Followed thereafter by literally being forced to recall all copies and destroy them because said guy in charge is an arrogant douchebag thinking he can push around Epic Games for 'causing the failure due to withholding the engine updates'.

They're where Sony was halfway through last gen. They don't have enough first and second party devs to keep exclusives coming and most games are being made for the other console because they got the most adopters early on which is the key to success with consoles.
They might make a comeback but consoles are in a shitty place with how much hardcore gamers are adopting PCs if they don't buy a PS4.
> tfw tried to support them by getting Fable Anniversary
> they made a shitty port/remake with barely anything new in it.
Were they even trying these last years?

Microsoft is closing SHITTY studios.
If NX bombs, Nintendo will still try hardware again, they've done it too long.
Sony is selling a shitload of PS4s, they aren't going anywhere.
>>334245195
Fable 2 did really well on 360. 3 was a piece of shit and killed the IP, but Microsoft tried to keep forcing it with shitty spinoffs.
>>334245195
fable 2 was okay but 3 truly was a steaming pile of shit
fable was doomed from the start due to false promises though
>>334245026
Fucking this
>>334240690
Big surprise, MS fucks up everything they touch.
>>334245270
If another studio could just apply the design style and decidedly british monty pyton plays d&d humor to an actually successful formula like Souls or Monster Hunter, I'd be very happy.
>>334243929
>>334245684
What were the issues with 3? It seems like it just came and went without any attention, it didn't even garner a lot of attention for being a disaster like DA2

To this day i still refuse to buy games with DIVERSITY because of Prototype 2. What a fucking discrace of a game. Now we'll never get Prototype 3.

Sometimes I feel like critics occasionally need a game to really went out against so that they can keep giving 7/10 and 8/10 its ok reviews. Too Human was that for its time. Alien: Isolation, God Hand and CoD: Ghosts too.

Let's just say that adding diversity is nothing more than an excuse for devs to be lazy. Oh, and Prototype 2 added shitty aesthetic items like fucking pipes to rooftops that stops your freerunning dead its tracks if you so much as touch one. I'm still fucking pissed about that.

>>334245647
If Microsoft hadn't shot itself in the foot with the xbone launch, Sony wouldn't even exist right now. They have been bleeding money like a stuck pig. Literally the only department of theirs that is earning them any profit right now is their video game department. With a terrible business record like that, they either need to accept that they got lucky with the ps4 being the least worst console of this generation and get their shit together asap or they will be bought out by another company at best.

Fable TLC was literally the comfiest and best designed games I've ever played.
It's a shame they couldn't improve on it or actually make a decent game after it.
I really hope that one day another RPG can capture the same atmosphere and feeling of the first Fable game.
>>334261239
It gave them an exuse to be lazy. Did you even play Prototype 2? It was a step back in every possible way.
>>334240690
good fucucking riddance
apologizing for their own ingame assets and cowering before lunatics
>>334249857
Not him, but as a fan of the older series, my main issue with it was, it wasn't fable.
They completely removed leveling up your hero through EXP. I have no fucking idea why they did this, but they did. That stupid path wasn't fun, and it was dumb how I couldn't spec for a pure wizard, because I'd be retarded not to buy everything in my gate as soon as I could.
Also, the menus were fucking terrible. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to go to a loading screen to go to the menu, and then another when you actually select your option, and then you have to go back to the menu, so thats another screen, and then god forbid if you had to do anything else.
Your choices had pretty much no effect what so ever. Although 1 and 2 suffered from this (2 more than 1), 3 was a whole new level of "Nothing you do matters so just be a cunt and at the end pay up the money"
The evil end wasn't even worth it. You wouldn't be able to do fuck all post game.
Magic was completely useless. A fucking magic guantlet? Really?
I felt less like a hero, and more like some spoiled brat who is just guided along.
The only thing halo 3 did right, was how fast enemies died to melee. But later on that also becomes mute. This is all my opinion, though, and I haven't played it in about 2 years.
>>334260259
Absolutely. Story is great, humour is there, combat is actually fun, and its worth multiple playthroughs with different builds alone.
I just want Fable 2 on PC tbqh.
I mean I don't understand why every Fable game is on the PC except that one. And it's not like it's the worst one since Fable 3 exists.
And like I get that with 360 emulation it'll eventually come but fuck me just give me Fable 2; I will give you good money for it
>>334261997
He said he didn't.
>>334261239
They changed the protag from edgy white male to angry giganigga hyst vecause they could.
And I'm not saying "black MC", I'm saying "nigger MC". Complete with foul mouth and "fuck these shitty computers mang they wuz sheeeeit and hard to use mang, imma bash them".
And they removed some of the interesting powers. They also removed wallcrawling, which I'll never ever forgive. SOMETIMES I DON'T WANT TO RUN ON WALLS OK.
>>334244194
Oh shit I remember this. This was so bad I'd completely forgotten it ever existed.
>>334244194
we dont have enough games where one player is the villain and gets to summon shit for other players to deal with
fable 2 and 3 sucked ass so i dont know why you are crying over "muh series is dead with this different game!" looked intresting mechanicly

>>334245646
It's unfair, this thing was glorious when it had subscription.
>>334262320
About through with the first Prototype (I think), was there no reason for the switch in MC? I mean, was Alex supposed to be in the sequel? I guess I just don't see the big deal about it being an angry black dude instead of an angry white dude, the removal of powers kinda sucks though. The gameplay in this one is solid, I'm actually enjoying myself.

>>334263426
No.
>>334263426
That seems strangely familiar
Just hurry up and die already, Lionhead, you're a disaster of a developer and the laughing stock of the industry.
>>334263034
They wanted a different MC to play the "fight the previous protag turned evil" trope.
Alex's moral changes happened in a fucking comic (humanity is not worth saving, based on a few samples), so you start P2 with Heller being angry as fuck and Mercer being smug and EVUL for no reason.
An angry white dude would have been less obnoxious, the devs really hammed up the Furious Black Nigga meme and it shows. Heller can't say more than 10 words in the same sentence.
>>334263535
>Alex's moral changes happened in a fucking comic (humanity is not worth saving, based on a few samples)

AND NOTHING OF VALUE WAS LOST
Peter Molyneux proved that you can hype yourself to the grave.
>>334263719
How the fuck would I not hear it coming?
>>334263778
Hope, Idaho is the village in which the experiments about Blacklight happen.
Pariah is supposedly Greene's son and the actual first Prototype.
You may need to delve into some brains to find this out.
>>334261008
This is what happens when you have designated shitting streets in your development team.
>>334264093
Oh okay, I knew about Hope. Is Pariah the soldier he keeps talking to in the cutscenes?
>>334263719
>>334263882
Did he fucking stutter?
>>334244404
>TOOTHUMAN
>>334264325
Nope, some scientists may refer to Pariah or talk about Elizabeth Greene's child. It happens in different brainsnatched memories, but it was a pretty interesting plot point that got entirely dropped during P2 and will never be brought up again.
>>334245629
On 360 the framedrops and crashes were pretty annoying.
Well, time to replay F2

It's shit like that final boss and the yet again horribly unbalanced combat system that fucked its reputation, though.
