Fable: The Journey Thread of This Thread is Now About Ponies

THE BOMB HAS BEEN DROPPED.

8.0 on GameSpot.

By focusing on strong character development and beautiful locales, Fable: The Journey provides an engaging adventure enhanced by satisfying motion controls.

The Good:

• Strong relationship building
• Well-realized Kinect controls
• Smart pacing gives you ample time to rest
• Beautiful visual design.

The Bad

• Motion controls don't always register properly.

Wut.

Goddamn it, guys. Kinect games are supposed to be f*cking awful and reviewed as such. Didn't you get the memo? Admittedly, Destructoid hates it, but... doesn't that mean it's good? I'm confused.

In a more interesting note, the 360 now has more high scoring exclusives in 2012 than the PS3, and no major PS3 games are coming to save the day. It's like 2007 all over again.

What say you, System Warriors?

what happened to loosingends? taking a haitus?

Either GS is going to follow IGN with their FJ review or they will follow sites like Polygon again.

If it comes out on redbox I'll rent it over a weekend and try it out. I have fun with Kinect controls, should be a fun way to kill a slow saturday morning.

I think someone did post that earlier, but destructoid and joystick gave it a 3.5, while Giant Bomb gave it a 3 for comparison :P Heil68

The best part is that this game is within spitting distance of RE6's metascore. I'll wager no one saw that coming.

Color me surprised. It seems like Lionhead finally made a Fable game with a story worth giving a damn about... and they go and screw it up by making it a Kinect game. Way to derp it up, team.

Yeah, but it's not like it was praised or seen as a high point. It seems like by even the bad reviews that have it at 3.5, etc, that they think the story is nice. That's saying a lot for a series where story has generally been background noise.

the wonderbook will be the hit of the year, millions of british children will crowd around there family and party like it's 2009

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Hey, whoa. The story in the first game was pretty solid.DarkLink77

If the next Fable game retains the RPG elements of the first two games, builds on some of the creative concepts from 3 and Journey and adds in a good story we could be looking at a very good game. Let's be real, Fable isn't bad. It's just never met it's full potential and I can't tell if that was because of Molyneaux or not.

[QUOTE="Giancar"]Damn, I miss LoosingENDS No offense Darklink, but he would have made a thread SW would remember for a long time :PCheleman

is he banned? i would have loved to meet him:twisted:

loosingends isnt banned hes jsut been placed in an eternal loop of low leveldom. everytime he hits level 9 they downgrade him to level 5 again.

loosey was a pretty bad troll, he .. he actually makes you look tolerable :|

loosingends even had his own meme's

loosey will go down in history as the scott hall of trolls, so much missed potential, hes the "systemwars troll that never was"

he was also a lemm which by default means he has no games..

he hypred the heck out of fable: tj. i bet i know where he is now..
