@ gauss "it's hard not to hype up games to some degree, but Fable got it extra bad"...I agree...it was overhyped imho...and I am 1 of the 3d Creature/Artists that worked on it...to be fair tho'..a lot of the press loved all the hype, but also the downside is to the consumer who gets the brunt of it, cos' they are the ones…

Overall, Fable just wasn't enough of what I was expecting based on all the…
@ElysiumGX The comments you've made in the 1st paragraph are debatable, as seeing as you are quoting from an article afaik...but your comment "The characters in the game are fugly (no excuse for that)."...whoa...whoa...hang on just a minute, have I missed something here?!?!?...how is this related to hype?...if you did'nt…
