- I liked Fable 2 a heck of a lot more than the original Fable, despite the stripping down of mechanics and armour variety.
Fable 2 had a lot of great mechanics, it just had a lot of missteps.
Like I really loved the combat in that game. I didn't even think magic was as broken as some other people thought. I really liked how well animated it was and how flowy it felt.
However, I hated how sidequests weren't a focus like the original, and how it forced you to work and do a timing based minigame to get money. And almost everyone agrees the ending was terrible.
I tend to view Fable 1 as "better" than Fable 2. Mostly because it feels on the whole more "complete". But I would also say Fable 2 would've probably been the best in the series had Molyneux gotten his head out of his ass.
- Force Unleashed's Starkiller is about the worst thing that could have happened to Star Wars (oh wait, is that unpopular...?)
Depends on who you ask.
TFU is one of those games that has this really... meh response on the internet. I know some people that kinda like it and some people that kinda hate it. And most people are somewhere in the middle with it.
I personally kinda hate it mostly because of Starkiller being this enormous edgy Mary-Sue (who's basically every 14 year old epitomized) but also because it's unfortunately really really simple. And too simple for it's own good.
I recall in development interviews of TFU it featured the devs talking about the advanced physics system and AI. And would feature instances like the player would push a character and he'd grab into a pole and keep firing his blaster. Stuff like that, which was never implemented. And it's unfortunate because the game is really really forgettable and I forgot mostly everything about it after I completed it.
And of course nobody thought TFU2 was a good idea.
