Fable - Xbox Games Showcase 2024 : games

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Don't have an Xbox but I remember these games really fondly. This looks cool, but like, kind of insanely polished for a Fable game? Interested to see what the vibe of the finished game is like.

This trailer is really bringing out the bigots, especially in the YouTube comments. It sucks that the gaming community, literally based on having fun, can be so toxic

I'm at work and can't watch the trailer. What is even there to be bigoted about?

It's a woman main character in the trailer. Some loud, annoying gamers have a problem with that. Also that she isn't super conventionally sexy, and is a representation of an average woman. And some people are calling her trans and not in a pro LGBT way.

Someone here made a comment about sweet baby inc, which is a company that works with game studios to help encourage diversity, which is apparently the end of the world for the people who call everything new "woke" unironically

I hope we would be able to choose our main character though.

I played the first two games, and I watched the trailer.

What are the bigots whining about?

-oh look, there's one down below in the comments. I'll ask them.

Edit: I asked 'em, but I received no answers. One called me a slur, but I'm not sure what else I was expecting.

Yayayyayayayyayayayay. I'm excited. The Fable games never felt truly finished and fully fleshed out, but I loved them all and played them so much.

The first Fable seemed right and polished but just ended too soon and need some endgame challenge.

Can you please explain what you see that makes you say that? I truly want to understand (it doesn't mean I will agree)

What are you whining about?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

What is that?

It’s be nice for social networks to have features where you can just pattern-match off of idiot dogwhistle comments like Sweet Baby and automatically block users bringing them up. I have to do it for YouTube and thankfully the incel videos have toned down a little, but every once in a while I get a “Men are OPPRESSED”.

You can usually create your own character in these types of games.

It's weird to be snarky about literacy when you have a spelling error in your whining.

So doubling down on the bigotry, eh? At least you're honest about what you're about.

The fact that you think "intentionally ugly" and "diversity" are the same thing is just a staggering new form of ignorant intolerance. I'm going to need a minute to digest that.

Ok, so many question...

Is it that you only play as characters you want to fuck? Or you only play as characters that look like you? Or is it both, and you only want to fuck people who look like you, and want to play games where that's part of it?

How ugly do you need to be to no longer be normal? Or is it being different from you that makes people ugly?

Are all ugly people minorities in your mind? Like you see someone on the street with crooked teeth and a mishapen head, and you think "Your kind aren't welcome here!" Or are there certain minorities that are ugly to you, and you think this character model looks like one of "them"? Which group is even represented in this trailer?

I'm really curious about you. I'd really rather not be, and I'd probably be happier if I just forget you exist. You're like a really weird shaped piece of dog shit. How were you formed? What the fuck was wrong with that dog?

I know you probably won't give me answers, and will probably just fall back on some tired cliche of an insult again. But on the off chance that you feel like sharing, I'd love to know more.

I liked this way more than the first trailer. Looks promising!

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago

Fable having this realistic art style still feels weird to me, but at least it seems like they're matching the tone of the other games.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

Looks stunning, let's hope it is as fun as it is pretty.
