@VoidPunk honestly with the changes they are making it brings out the best things about the game. The game environment is amazing there are spots where I just said wow this architecture is amazing. The story for what I played on pc was decent and now that your able to do more stuff solo it is probably a good rpg. The main problem I had with the game was lack of controller support and sometimes finding a group to do stuff with.
The pvp when my friends were on was ok doing it with strangers sometimes led to dealing with people who were not great.
I enjoyed 1 it was decent 2 is really good I'm excited for 3 even if it was announced to early. like others have mentioned I understand why they needed to announce games earlier. Now I think they need to wait till the last couple of months when fallout 4 was showcased or was released within 6 months I think and that was perfect. Fable my fave Xbox series was announced way to early. I did enjoy the giant commercial they did that was very fable esc humor.
I have a few unopened games the one thing I do have a lot of is the official Xbox magazine still in the plastic. whenever I would go to the grocery store I would buy both copies they had and never open the second one. my wife still gives me a hard time for saving the magazines and guide books.
if they want to have stuff about games fine. This is a no go for me though we pay for the box we pay for the multiplayer i think we should have some say about what we see. I am calling it now next gamepass tier 29.99 the no adds tier.
@Jenkinss I noticed you listed several Warhamer games Rouge trader is really good I had never been interested in Warhammer anything but if you like crpg's its good.
@Frmknst I have game pass and bought Starfield. Some games I buy after playing them on game pass So I can keep playing them. Games I have bought this year Dragons dogma 2, BG3 College football, and the Owlcat warhamer game Rouge Trader which is awesome.
I am just so dissapointed in the star wars games we got the jedi ones were ok but way to closed off. Why cant we get a jedi rpg that has an open world. Make it so you don't even have to be jedi. Why cant someone do a fallout type or elderscrolls type game with planets where you could be any type in the universe.
Am I wrong that it would be a license to print money?
so I have the rog extreme and it's awesome. The thing that I think some aren't getting is you get the Xbox stuff but also if you own steam games they work without any hassle also or the epic store or whatever ubi soft is calling their abomination these days. I can only get the x from best buy where I'm living and they offered me 300 for my used rog towards this new one that's not a bad deal.
Its like they said well we paid all these lawyers tons of cash for the abk merger but the ftc was comically inept. Time to make em earn their money somewhere else just keep adding small print and exclusions until those billable hours we prepaid for are used up.
I guess the day one thing is the biggest black mark for when they didn't have games it was fine. now that they have a bunch of things coming down the line they jack up prices. It doesn't make a lot of sense to keep thinking subs are going to grow forever I think keeping us easier than getting but Microsoft is run by the devil.
@Stocksy I am really enjoying it too the road games are awesome. Dynasty is def good right now im trying to win the big XII just beat the cowboys at home. One thing I do not like is it subs the defensive ends out to often and for to long.
@DeanyBabyy I'm not sure if your an American, but college football here in the states can be treated like a religion. A guy actually poisoned a rival team's 100 year old trees. That's right trees he poisoned trees and then called a radio show to gloat about it. https://www.espn.com/college-football/columns/story?columnist=schlabach_mark&id=6132246
honestly pretty tired of the shenanigans. I don't really care about the price increase just the constant stupid flow of bad messaging. they don't even know what their going to do tomorrow.
This is just paradox spinning into a downward spiral. The company has been going down the drain for years since going public. Their still selling expansions that don't exist for a game the devs abandoned. They have ruined multiple studios at this point. Cities skylines is a total dumpster fire I don't believe they will ever fix it. It might be better then at launch but that is like saying only some pintos explode now.
I would drive around under the mall murdering a ton of zombies that way in the original lots of fun. I hope they did a pass on the controls though died plenty of times du to clunkiness.
IDK that gameplay video looked terrible to me it def had a dragon age 2 vibe closed sets down a narrow path. Maybe the other zones open up and make it better but right now it just seemed terrible to me. I will def buy it though as i love the lore about the veil and golden city and it will be a great story I'm sure. Just seemed claustrophobic to me though.
For me the Shivering Isles is tied with the Morrowind expansions. I did really like the robot building one from fallout 4 also. The Emperor DLC from EU IV is my favorite grand strategy dlc hands down.
I have the game both on pc and xbox I am a bethesda fan. I have not really been keeping up with he updates is there a lot of good stuff they added I read the comment about the creation club and that makes me think they have gone off their rocker 7 dollars for 15 minutes is it the 80's and long distance calling?
@CERBERUS40000 lol I honestly never heard this before so I did a Google search. leave it to Ubisoft trash cast offs to somehow try and out Ubisoft in the ***** department. this game was mad by a multicultural various religion blah blah blah nonsense. no one cares make things that are fun.
@themightyant Just look at who is running WB he is a moron if the company is still around 5 years from now in its current setup I will be shocked. The guy basically ruined HBO too.
@RetroMan71 I couldn't agree more people make mistakes to just throw them away is stupid. I feel like this the main sticking point for microsoft they are so short sighted in everything they do all the money invested in this studio is out for one bad game and tom they could buy 5 studios and close them down in 2 years its ridiculous. I do think this is bethesda's fault also they are so slow with patches they could have saved this game if they lit a fire under some feet and started making small fixes right away it is always this big patch two months down the road with them.
For me the og had such good games from Morrowind, fable, halo, Jade Empire. the 360 followed it up with oblivion, mass effect and that three disk monster i think it was called eternal odyssey that was a good ff type. Just the games really liked them After 360 they have had some good ones but Halo fell of for me and I was never that interested in forza. I loved star field and looking forward to fable again Im sure there is more. But Morrowind, Fable and Jade Empire started my love of Xbox oh and Island Thunder Multi Player for the win.
I think everybody who has been posting about this article should go and read it. He didn't just talk about Xbox but a series of wasted cash and huge mistakes Microsoft has made over and over. right now their fighting apple and Google so they do not have to shqre 30% of their cut on those app stores. if they had their own ecosystem they wouldn't have to. look at all the the studios they closed over the years just to buy more studios. fable is the greatest example lionhead had a vision for fable 4 Microsoft waned a microtransaction heavy live service game instead. they spent millions like 75 million and then just closed lionhead. now they are spending millions to make fable with a new studio. their worth 3 Trillion now but for how long case in point look at Boeing the all mighty dollar isn't looking so glorious now for those guys. so their books look good now but when you plan for tom but not for 10 years from now you look kinda dumb in ten years.
@OldGamer999 wait you have machines designing and building machines? I think I watched a a movie about this it didint end well for the og creators and then had a lot of sequels.
@OnlyGaming I thin this is just poor marketing on their part. Should the game have any micro transactions? no. Do you have ti actually buy anything besides the game? No. I have played about 20 hours now and its actually really good it feels like a throwback to older rpgs I am enjoying it.
@PJOReilly I am seeing some crazy negative reviews on steam were the microtransactions in the version you played and is it true its 2 dollars to change appearance? If they were not does it make you change your review?
I don't understand the people saying the trailer is nothing like fable. It has the terrible corny humor it seemed very fable to me. the dei comment what fable has had girls playing an important part from the start and the giant is black who cares. it was funny to me.
@GeminiReign I thought fable 3 had all the things they were promising since fable 1 the story was just a stinker. You are right in saying they need to knock it out of the park.
@PJOReilly first let me say thank you for going that extra mile. Is it ok for coop or did you not get a chance I want or would love to play a game like this with my son. Is it super adult themey or kid safe?
They did this to themselves its going to take time to rebuild. The fact that the xbox one was a disaster really hurt them. Then they closed studio after studio or mandated them to make things that didn't interest players. Look at the mismanagement of fable. Nobody wanted that ***** last game and they spent something like 70 million then never released it. If they would have let lionhead make the game they wanted it would still be an open studio and they would have had a great xbox one launch game. The kinect is the perfect example from start to finish when they started showcasing that I thought nobody wants that then they forced it down everyone's throat and it was just ***** and it made the one costs tons more than it should have. Here is an idea make a good game and watch it roll in the cash I think indy being big will help fable being good will help and if they ever get someone to fix what the hell happened to halo that would help. Xbox has some good studios now I think a few need a little bit more of a strong hand and some guidance but not to the point of make this kind of game in this universe so we can chase a fad. Also I have never seen an add for xbox on any site other than xbox or this one as other have pointed out.
@RIghteousNixon I agree with the playing it years from now and the best xp is probably always going to be the pc just due to the fact of mods for both games you mentioned.
@Fiendish-Beaver I would say at this point it is my third fav game all time behind morrowind and shadowrun for the sega genesis then this. As far as bugs go it is what it is with a game like this I think it is hard to know what is going to happen you can do so many things so many ways things happen. I own it on the pc also some crazy mods out there and I have the hard copy deluxe version coming for the xbox some day. The Larian merch site says quarter 1 I keep hoping for the email it has shipped.
Do you think they will ever allow mods on the xbox version?
I also would like to be able to buy more than one at a time or have a button go to all dlc or add all dlc for certain games like crusader kings or Stellaris are good examples
IDK man it just looked not good to me. It is weird how that works sometimes going in I had no interest in indy and avowed was what I really wanted to see and they switched places.

right now their fighting apple and Google so they do not have to shqre 30% of their cut on those app stores. if they had their own ecosystem they wouldn't have to.
look at all the the studios they closed over the years just to buy more studios. fable is the greatest example lionhead had a vision for fable 4
Microsoft waned a microtransaction heavy live service game instead. they spent millions like 75 million and then just closed lionhead. now they are spending millions to make fable with a new studio.
their worth 3 Trillion now but for how long case in point look at Boeing the all mighty dollar isn't looking so glorious now for those guys.
so their books look good now but when you plan for tom but not for 10 years from now you look kinda dumb in ten years.
