Thread: My BS detector went off when I was on Gamespot.com today...

  1. #1

    Default My BS detector went off when I was on Gamespot.com today...

    This concerns Gamespot's "Best and Worst" awards. Go to the "Biggest Disappointment" award. These are the finalists:

    Doom 3
    Driv3r
    Fable
    Goldeneye: Rogue Agent
    Halo 2


    Winner:......wait for it........Fable?!

    Seeing that BS literally made me scream out "What the ****!" I mean sure, Fable was disappointing in some ways but somehow is more disappointing then the likes of Driv3r?!
    Screw you Gamespot.

    fable was probably the 2nd highest hyped game ever in the console world.

    Fable was supposed to convert people from ps2 to xbox...from gc to xbox...it was supposed to mean added revenue to the xbox....it was supposed to be that one rpg that people talk about when looking back a decade from now.

    Fable, however, was the biggest disappointment ever in a rpg. I'll have to agree with their pick of Fable.

    At first I thought maybe Doom 3 would win...but the game is actually good when you think about what it is.

    I'm sort of surprised to see Halo 2 up there...although deep down inside I agree with it being on the list...I mean, you don't see me playing Halo 2 online...or offline.

    Anyway, I agree with Fable being the biggest disappointment.

    I agree with them. 4 years in development and Fable turned out to be nothing but a hyped up action/adventure. Nothing special, and nothing worth my $50.

    Fable sucked. I mean honestly, who still plays it? If it were ground-breaking, revolutionary, if it were anything it was promised to be, it would not be collecting dust on all our shelves. But it is.

    Fables another on of those "what if" games.
    What if meaning what if we would have gotten a finished product.Although I still feel it was a good game,you could just tell a whole lot of stuff was'nt fully realized.

    I still play Fable. But seriously, Fable was actually playable, fun for the 10-15 it had in it, beautifully detailed, had great music and so forth. Sure Fable was disappointing but in no was it more disappointing then Driv3r. Driv3r was a buggy, poorly animated piece of ****. And don't give it **** about being "Overhyped." So what if it was, half of it was the publics fault and the other half was Peter M.'s fault but still. Halo 2 was overhyped...waaay overhyped but was fun nevertheless, so what makes it so different, if you base this on Hype then why shouldn't Halo 2 be the most disappointing? Normally I don't take Gamespot seriously, hell I even posted once saying that I don't take them seriously and that I pity people who do but I can only here someone say so much bull**** before it starts to piss me off. And this atrocity of "Best and Worst" awards crossed the line.

    Halo 2 didn't deserve to be on that list. Fable did, but it didn't deserve to win. DRIV3R was in development for several years too people. And it was awful. Here lies a problem Fable, dissapointing or not, was still a good game.
