the game was shit
Oh boy it's this thread again.
I seriously feel like there's a bot because there's going to be a lot of copy and paste responses.
Does anyone else notice that ?
Sounds like McCormack missed the point of making a Fable game... it's supposed to be a fun RPG, not a steaming turd of an exercise in tedium.
Based Microsoft
If you can anyone you want why the fuck would you want to be a black woman
>>338144358
Can I help you?
>>338144248
What the fuck are you talking about?
Fable was a standalone game and except for its expansion The Lost Chapters it was the only game in its series. I would have loved a sequel but we never got one.
If you could be anyone, why didn't they just make the character look neutral as fuck instead of tying it down to one race/gender combination?

Fable was amazing. Fable 2 was passable. Fable 3 was terrible. It's a series that got worse with every addition

Dont you mean better with every game. I mean it was so much more linear and focusef, i didn'n know what to do in the first game.

In all honest, with how bad the game was, not even a nigger character could have made the game worse.
>>338144248
>publishers changing decisions by the developer is censorship unless it's censoring things I don't like
Everyone here is retarded and underaged.
If they ACTUALLY cared about "The hero can be anybody", then they would have not had a hero character on the cover at all. A villain instead, or a group of characters.
But no, they wanted a Black Woman for those ever so valuable "Progressive Points", in which they wanted to look better by NOT having a white guy.
Fuck them.

Nice. Good job. That'll convince them for sure.
Here you go trying to push your ideas against publishers who shouldn't be able to have as much control over your medium as they do, and instead of debating them and arguing why your ideas might be good ideas you lose your shit and throw a tantrum.

Fable 2 was good but there's only so many games you can fill with false promises before people stop buying your games - as Fable 3 found out.
>>338144358
Yes. Probabbly someone trying to be painted as the victim, or some sort of viral marketing to build hype for a new fable release. Doesn't microsoft own the rights for the fable IP now? Since lionhead has already been shut down, this *could* somehow give MS some credibility in making another game.

>>338144248
I can tell you that none of this is true, or at least to the extent they are saying.
BioShock infinite came out and said guys on the cover sell better
They hire market research teams. Lionheart fucked off for 4 years and had a buggy mess of a beta to show for it. Inside sources say the game was about 25% complete.
Lionheart employees are starting a new progressive studio with a black woman lead and it will be at E3 in some form or another with a kickstarter
>>338145739
It was back then.
>>338144248
Game was terrible anyway so it probably would have sold half as well.
Plus it would have broken the white guy on the cover trend they had done since Fable 1 and 2. Needed to keep continuity at that point.
>>338145824
tbf the Bioshock Infinite cover is absolutely awful
>>338144248
Who is he trying to fool? The people he's making the game for? Having a black woman on the cover of a tolkien-esque fantasy game isn't appealing to the core demographic, audience or capturing anything about the game. It's obviously a move based on some sort of agenda which apparently matters more than the game.
>you can create any character you want!

Who cares. Fable 3 was fucking AWFUL.
>>338145903
I don't disagree, same with doom not using the classic cover
>>338145805
Yeah because an ass slap or a bikini set aren't minuscule parts of the game.

So, you couldn't play as a black woman in Fable 3? You couldn't gay marry?

>SJW censorship! Fuck you! Devs shouldn't have to change their games because of outside pressure!

>It's okay, who cares
Neither of them are right. M$ is retarded because another generic white dude is not going to sell this game to anybody, it's just going to make another pitifully generic cover.
However, McCormack isn't right either because if his goal is "YOU CAN BE ANYTHING", you would show multiple characters on the cover, each doing one of the numerous things you can do in-game. Maybe all of them reaching for the same crown, or all three holding a unique crown, or something of the sort. A single black woman is only going to tell us "You can be a black woman!"
>>338149069
He's a manchild even if he's making it up anyway.

but devs shouldnt change their games because outside pressure.
>>338144248
It all makes sense now, this lame faggot was trying to make up for how bad his game was by being some sort of cutting edge hipster dipshit pulling social commentary so he could go "you just dont get it, MAN, its revolutionary! A BLACK WOMAN!"
The game could have a ginger nigger on the cover and I wouldn't care. The problem is the game is garbage.

NO they all look like they smell like pot and BO and like at any moment they will jump in a tree and throw shit at you.
I remember ages ago Fable 3 was released with Games with Gold, so I gave it a try. I got to the point where you become king and have to pay off a big ass debt or something because some evil shit is about to come from across the sea, and then I quit because I was bored. Did I miss anything important?
Oh yeah, because putting a sassy black woman on the cover would magically make the game better than a steaming pile of shit
If they actually made a good game it still would sell no matter if it's a white male on the cover or Trayvon Martin
>>338144248
>And you want a black woman.' And I was like, 'Yes, I do, because it's about be whatever hero you want.'
Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't even play a black woman, there's no character creator it's just pick a prince or princess.
Did this fag even play his own game?
>>338150776

>these fight just happen to be revealed during the gaming is sexist time

Why even bring it up. Shoulda woulda coulda never actually did and this game is way too far into irrelevance for this to even be a topic anyway. He's a sellout who sold his ideals for mkney but still wants to look like an idealist. Somehow thats even more pathetic. At least sjws somewhat stick to their guns nowadays.
>>338150969
You were basically almost done at this point. All you have to do is make like 10 money-related decisions then the evil creatures invade and you have to fight a short way through your city then defeat the last boss.
Having enough money doesn't really matter if you don't care about getting the good ending.
>>338151045
Was just thinking the same. Not just that, but you're playing as the child of your character from Fable 2, who also was only white. Plus the game is set in fucking fantasy England. Go eat a dick. I hate when retards try shoehorn DIVERSITY into everywhere they can for no reason. I think Fable 3 was the first one to have black people in it anyway.

I may remember it wrong but there is a black girl/woman in Fable 1 who's about your age when your village gets wrecked by bandits and you train with her and also meet her on the arena later on
>>338150969
As bad as people say that part is it is one of the only times your choices actually matter in a AAA game so there is that.
>>338151045
Likely not.
If there is one thing we've been learning in this modern time where developers are very open and talking with consumers, its that a very large number of devs are incredibly incompetent and require handlers to keep their shit in check.
Its what happens when you get a bunch of people together who do nothing but pat each others back. They need some outsiders there to stop and go "No, thats a shit idea"

You cannot play as a black woman in the game. Infact, the game has one black woman who is a relatively minor character but fucking annoying to the point that no one liked her.
fable 3 was shit so it's no surprise they were trying to cover their asses by blaming their failure on muhsoggyknee racist shitlords
it's become a proven way to shield yourself from all criticism, by silencing complainers as regressive bigots.

Anon, you are underestimating the mind of the virgin weeb. They are so hard up you wouldn't believe.
These cringe crusaders want to launch a holy war on censorship, but ONLY over animu tits. Another game which is coming out soon is having blood censored, and /v/ shrugged it's collective shoulders. But the second some cleavage disappears you can be sure these fucking losers will be losing their fucking minds over it. Because they have nothing else. They don't like any games other than their fapbait pandering garbage and they certainly don't have girlfriends to take their minds off their 2D fantasies. It's all they have, so they kick and scream and have absolutely no self-awareness for how pathetic and embarrassing they look. Companies continue to ignore them because they don't lose face with any rational, average person, they just lose the "loyalty" of screeching autistic shutins who will announce a boycott at the drop of a hat, or planned to pirate your games from the beginning. Money is not lost by ignoring these sad sacks of shit.

No, people shat on fable 2 because the gameplay was simplified babby shit. Not to say that the gameplay in the first fable was hard or complicated, but at least it was fun and coherent.
Another thing, they never expanded on the whole "archons" and the ancient civilization thing. They had so much potential with the court, but decide to go with a generic revenge story for fable 2, and ayylmaos in fable 3.

ewww even worse

I fucking hate Tim Burton. Literally the only people I've ever met who like The Nightmare Before Christmas are fat thirty-something women who like to pretend that they're still teenagers.
>>338144248
I wouldn't give a shit if it was a black woman.
Though i guess it might clash a bit with the european modern era theme.
>>338144358There are hundreds of these copypasta threads that they cycle through. Just have to sift through them to keep them relevant for a few months and continue to slowly fill the board with shit.
>>338144358
Honestly this is way better than the BF1 threads
>>338153283
They did that because Stivia(the sweetener used in coke life) is always marketed with the color green.
>>338154603
I had a fag friend that really liked Tim Burton. He was a cool fag, though.

and it fucking sucked

well it obviously is not an issue anymore with the BF1 cover.

>>338156570
Why do you care more about how much money the publisher makes than how true the game is to what the developers intended?
>>338156541
Based Sweden fighting the good fight.
>>338154603
Do you just not leave the house at all? NBC is still popular as shit for no reason.
>>338156570
If you want to argue about what makes most money then why not argue for game studios to fire 90% of the staff and develop mobile games instead?
>>338156683
>this fucking gif
im actually scared and pissing my pants at the same time
>>338156681
Are you mentally handicapped? It's the publisher's money, it's their investment. Of course they wouldn't allow a dev to just fuck with it freely. This is just common sense.
>how true the game is
This isn't about the game. The game still has niggers and gay marriage and all that stuff you love. This is just one marketing asset.
I just replayed the whole series some time ago, and I somehow ended up likimg 3 more than 2, 3 at least had that based Crawler sequence, funnier sidequests, and the combat was funner, 2's story was shit, and practically unbearable when Hammer and that mage cunt were going on and on about religion a shit ablobloobloo
>you can't be black in game
>but they wanted to put a black person on the cover
but why
>>338157026
Switching to mobile does not guarantee more profit. It's not a magical spring. Especially when you're already a household name in your current market. That's just retarded.
>>338157253
They wanted you to know who was making all your kids black
I think Fable 3 was the worst Fable game but to be fair I only played Fable 1, 2 and 3.
>>338150465
>DivOS changes their cover art because sexism or something
>result of threats, boycotts, journalists threatening to not cover their game, and a bunch of bullshit
>Lionhead changes their cover art because publishers think white men sell better
>throw a hissyfit tantrum rather than trying to fight for their artistic integrity
>>338157253
I imagine the original idea might have been having a black character to begin with
>massive, well-written article on lionhead's history
>vultures chop it up to put a sensationalist spin on an aspect of it, gets far more attention than the original article
classic
>>338157584
Who's really to blame? Look at all these threads. Do you think we'd have this much discussion on "Lionhead's History"? No chance.
We'll take the sensationalist part, and then simplify it even further, then greentext highlights of it and argue about them.
Call them vultures if you want, but look at their audience. Retards who don't give a shit about anything other than the drama. I sure as fuck wouldn't waste my time writing up essays nobody was doing to care about when the shitstirring is all anyone wants. Videogames are for children and autists and it's never more clear than in what discussion topics the community want to click on.
>social justice issues
>culture-wars
worst memes by far
>>338144248
I'm not reading an 180 post thread, but you can't make your character black or any color but white in the fable games. In fact you can't do much to them at all.

Not as retarded as DAO's Loghain, but still retarded
>>338144524
censorship isn't a based thing retard
>>338158753
To be fair who would've believed him, or thought that the downright ridiculous amount of gold needed to beat the big bad evilman was worth everyone's lives getting really shitty just to build up a super army for some great enemy they only heard and haven't seen
>Fable 3 is 50 years after 2
>Logan and MC are the Hero's kids
Now that's just weird, should've made them grandkids instead
>>338144248
It's a good thing that Lionhead are gone. Fable 3 was a failed abortion of a game and the games after that was about as entertaining as watching Pete Molyneux pass gas. SJWs tend be shit at everything. Especially making games
>first with gay marriage
my shitty f2p korean mmo had gay marriage in like 2008
bet a whole lot of MMOs had gay marriage far before thi
>First big moral choice of the game is choosing who gets to live between your waifu and some protesters
>Protesters are represented by a black male/white female who are obviously a couple
I didn't even want to be evil but choosing to kill them was apparently the evil choice
>>338159143
The Archon lineage has an extended lifespan. Supposedly the hero of oakvale destroyed oakvale and offed himself, or he would still be alive during 3, as is Theresa.
>>338144248
Fable was terrible after the first one
>>338159534
It was Reaver who destroyed Oakvale though what with him sucking everyone up for eternal youth
>>338147506
>It's been 6 years since that meme was relevant.
>>338159421
Still the right choice though, since they were generic faced mooks compared to starting waifu/husbando who has a face, and unique dialogue
Fable 3's king mechanic was retarded although I like that stuff you did in it actually had consequences. The plot would've been better if Logan actually had tried to warn everyone and he'd just been laughed off, instead of being an evil king he could've just been seen as a mad one.
Also this guy is retarded, if you could play a black person in the game it'd be fine but you literally are forced to be white. It's a kind of censorship but at least it's far more logical than most cases. It would've been far more understandable if they tried to get Paige (the black woman in the game) on the cover and thats what they said no too. In which case he'd be entitled to be pissed off about it.
>>338144345
This. I don't even give a fuck about the whole SJW shit these days. More and more of these developers are libtard, vegan, faggots anyway. It's not new. But honestly this game sucked.
At least the one black character who was relevant was hot
I wanted to see more of those big brown tiddies
>>338159017
Well from what they said with him and bald desert woman, it sounds like before he was actually a pretty compassionate ruler, so him just doing something like that out of the blue would probably make people still believe in his intentions further than executing everybody who protests. Furthermore that way he would have been able to have collection pots to get people donate to funding the military, who on earth would fund a tyrant?
>>338159421
>>338159916
Not to mention that they probably would carry on protesting and get killed a few days after you leave, husbando/waifu lies low, and starts trying to help alleviate the strain on lower Bowerstone.
>>338144823
So they should've had an androgynous, racially ambiguous character? Or just a really vague silhouette of human being?
I played through Fable 3 and I didn't remember any black female character in it
I googled it and I still have no idea who that was
>>338158985
That's not censorship mate. It's marketing, and Microsoft were right, the game was shit and did poorly and would have been an outrifht disaster had it a black woman on the cover.
>>338144620
Because videogames are the only place black women are good.
You can't even be black in any of the Fable games, this makes no sense.
>>338151127
VtmB went over budget and time, it's the developers fault for taking on too big of a project
They had 3 years, and the game was still a buggy, unfinished mess
Publishers aren't your mother, you don't get as much money and time as you want to finish your job, they give you a specific amount and expect you to be responsible with it.
>>338144984
>>338145071
Fable 3 did not flop. The Business suits up at Microsoft corporate saw all the money being made by mobile games and decided people didn't like single box RPGs and isntead wanted to buy microtransactions.
They scrapped Fable 4 in favor of a new IP that was 'games as a service' and this evolved in to fable legends in order to put a brand name on it.
Also Lionhead was way to SJW. They thought Fable 2 was groudnbreaking because it had fag marriage.
