Fable II

[Magoo!]

My only suggestion for people who get bored easily is to stop reading Gamespot. =/

Really, if you have no uber-high expectations which will no doubt be let down, you will enjoy the game for all the content it does have. Look at Oblivion. THAT was... Less than promised for sure. Yet, I, not having read anything but two pages on OXM and what my brother told me, enjoyed it still.

Yesterday we sold out. Today I've been told, over half have been returned...

Maybe those people power-played it through and didn't pursue all available avenues of interest? That was the case with Spore too. Everybody just said, "Oh! Guess I'm done... Well that sucked one time through. Who cares about all the choices I didn't make?"

Halo 2. Promised epic. In return, we get a remake of the "cheap" pistol that they promised to replace. Exhibit A: Battle Rifle. 2x scope, 12 shots, 3 head-shot kill. Sound familiar? Hoho! Lacking single player, emphasis on multiplayer which after a while, you cry yourself to sleep after being smack-talked by eleven year olds with a power high.

But in the end, we all still wasted endless hours playing it. Why? Focus on the content it did have. If we wasted said hours thinking about why we didn't have a mansion with eight floors, three butlers, seven lusty maids, eighteen master bedrooms, forty-three full baths, nine kitchens, a fountain, and a dog name Buddy, our lives would be miserable.

In a nut-shell?

Only dumb people have high expectations. You will always be let down in some way, once people realize this, they'll enjoy games more.

... But I like talking.

Oh well... At least Saigo likes it and Seth shows a desire to.
