Great! Now just get rid of auto-aim/aim assist and you'll have an FPS that was passable 6 years ago. Least they finally added dedicated servers to one platform... they really lay it on thick.
Make a good game and people will buy it. It really is that simple. Why companies refuse to learn this is a boggle. Lionhead in particular is just whining because they believe Fable is the greatest franchise on earth, and since they can't possibly blame themselves, they would rather blame people who buy used, who likely never had any intention of giving them money anyway.
"Blizzard plays things safe. That's what the company does. It iterates on old concepts and hopes people desperate for another go-round in ancient gameplay mechanics will champ at the bit. Yes, it is satisfying the remaining fans of Diablo by not veering at all off the established path, but anyone craving evolution for the hack-and-slash genre will have to find something else." Innovation does immediately equal success, or even fun, I thought this would be obvious. I see just how well all those other hack-and-slash games that have touted "Innovative gameplay!" have done in the last eight years since D2 was released.
