Hmm.. strongest line up? What other exclusives are coming out?
I just want to be absolutely clear here. Everyone is shitting on this because of the art/design right? Not gameplay, animation, entertainment value?
Oh wow hahaha. What are they doing at Lionhead? They just don't give a fuck anymore.

Yes, because all we have is static screens to base our opinion on.
It looks awesome.
Like a fable Mario party rpg, with crystal chronicles or "tales of" style synchronous battles or something.
Completely out of left field and looks reasonably unique. People will therefore hate it.
I think a lot of GAFers have lost all connection with actual gaming and seem to enjoy emo whining a lot more.. All previews seem very positive, I love it when devs like Lionhead go back to core gameplay.

Looks like the Fable version of Mario Party.....
Every year it seems like MS is moving farther away from everything I enjoy as a gamer.
Here's some gameplay I recorded over the weekend. I set the vids to 'Public' after the embargo lifted this morning.

Thanks for the vids, guys. I keep finding this game looking much better in coherent gameplay, rather than flashy, unfocused trailers.
It's nice to look at this game as more of a follow-up to Gauntlet series, rather than Castle Crashers, or more combo-oriented brawlers like Street of Rage or Battle Circuit. I can see this game being fun in that Gauntlet Legends style.
The mini-games seem like a great counter to the traditional "this is too repeatitive!" complaint. It allows them to keep the combat engine straight-forward, without trying to make things "fresh" by bogging it down with a bunch of over-complex fillers.
Having said that, the extra they did add in seems to be fun stuff. Big head modes, shrinking or giant characters, disguising as one of your enemies, and even moral choices. It seems to hit on all that Fable holds dear, but in a whimsical way (that is thankfully more in depth than "teehee, fart jokes!")
Looks like one of the freshest things from Lionhead in a good while, well worth giving a chance.
.The fuck is this shit?
Might as well post my review roundup from the XBLA thread:
6/10 - Eurogamer
5.5/10 - RipTen
3.5/10 - Destructoid
6/10 - EDGE
3/5 - Digital Spy
3.5/5 - Pocketlint
8/10 - CraveOnline <- Maybe they're the only ones that "get" it?
MeGreencastle, tinfoilhatman, think we're in for an interesting XBLA Wednesday demo session! I do like how the 8/10 reviewer mentioned they had more fun with this game than any of the Lego games, haha. Looking forward to getting some personal hands-on time with the game.
Well this is awkward.I love how nearly everyone here hates it.
Yet the trailer made me think about getting a 360 again. I really like the style.
Well this is awkward.
I legit bought a 360 to play this. It is coming in today. The idea of a beat'em with online and Mario Party with online...together...has me excited.
...what is wrong with me?

I know all about being burnt out on Fable 2. Pretty sure that was the game that made me sell my Xbox originally. But this does look like a title that is genuinely unique and being part of a large franchise will have the polish that most unique games lack. (especially in regards to online)Naaa, just because many others might not like it... doesn't mean you won't! Legitimately, I think this game will be very appealing to those who see it as you do, maybe one of the only games of it's type to exist.
I've never been a fan of 3D brawlers in general (unless they were made by Sega!), and I burnt out on Fable 2 so much I got tired of listening to all the samey accents, and seeing all the samey people... yet I still have some hype for this game. Unless the underlying controls and game system is bad, I can see this game having it's fans, and being a good game to play for gaming families, or anyone who just likes FUN in their games, and isn't too insanely critical.
Haha Fez did catch my eye as I was looking up "XBLA to buy". Is there a newer version of Trials out or can I just get the physical Trials/Limbo/Splosion Man combo disc?Nothing. But buy Trials and Fez asap!

Really weak game with a combat system with a massive 3 - yes, three! - attacks and dull level design that is exclusively left-to-right... But it's still kinda fun. I think it's fun because it's just so damn easy. Stomping on enemies that can't do anything to hurt you is always fun to me, even if it's mindless and stupid.Looking for impressions. The demo didn't wow me in any way.
