Ahh Fable 3, your glitchy as fuck, your gameplay is crap and your story is average, but those gnomes crack me up and made your game worth playing... Seriously though, in this day and age how can so many glitches in a game be acceptable? The developers push and push to make the release date and they fuck up the game, instead of pushing it back a month or two so they can perfect it. There is a growing attitude among developers (especially multiplayer ones) "hmm this game is missing something, oh well put it on the DLC list!"
My brother picked up Fable 3 last Saturday against my advice, the game is ok, but the thing that gets me is that it's so fucking buggy. Fallout New Vegas was the same! I was halfway through Fables story when all of a sudden my glowing path disappeared and refused to come back. The door I needed to go through to progress on my linear path would not open (I was doing The Game side quest where you get shrunk down etc. people who have played it know what I am talking about) I walked around for half an hour, consulted my brother making sure this was indeed the door I was meant to progress through and tried changing quests and fast traveling - alas it never let me.
So I started a new game upset with it all but hey shit happens, so now I've finished it and I've been trying to get all the keys, I have 3/4 gold keys and anyone want to bet the one I'm missing? Yep. Driftwood. That fucking plank apparently refuses to appear (it's a common problem I hear) and I don't even know what to try, I go back to the carpenters house and the guy is just sitting there staring into space like a person who has just undergone a full frontal lobotomy. The town looks like it's pretty much finished (I think) from what I've seen it's that one fucking plank of wood that just does not want to appear thus denying me not only my 4th gold key, but a legendary weapon, my achievement for getting all the keys AND my achievement for completing the town of Driftwood. How is this acceptable? They'll patch it and all's ok? I don't have internet at the moment so NO it's not all ok. Just because you can patch something later doesn't mean you should.
It's an old example now but I keep coming back to it because it's so perfect. Gears of War 2 shipped a broken game, it took them over 8 months to fix and by that time it was dead (compared to gears1 and how strong that was and how long it lasted), no one gave a shit anymore. Modern Warfare 2's first DLC was actually ON THE DISC and paying for it simply UNLOCKED it, and people bought it, they paid for those maps twice. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE!?
It's not so much the achievements but when it hinders gameplay, when it forces me to restart my entire file. Something is fucking wrong. I've heard of a glitch that takes away all your items, you keep your completed quests, but you'll just spawn a naked character with no weapons or money, cheers Lionhead, take away my progress I don't mind.
