Have you ever played a game, and its a GOOD game, up til the last minute, you kill the boss....

And the ending is about 90 seconds long, tops. I have been through this so many times recently, its not even funny. It seems an epidemic with many (not all) of the newer games. I mean, nowadays you beat a game and get a pat on the pack, and thats it.

Good job, you did it! Back to the start menu....

Sigh...

Glad to know I'm not the only one pissed off by that ending.

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.

The ending was literally a black screen that said THE END as soon as you finished the final mission.

Fable stuck me a bit like that. I am guessing the original stopped after you beat Jack with the sword of Aeons? I mean after the Jack-Dragon, it was look at your fresco, watch credit role. And even the expanded content was lameo..you get like 2 sentences from a stupid talking head telling you what happened to your sister and stuff..all lame.

I mean when I got the low budget Hertic Kindoms/Kult game for Christmas that had the same sort of ending. But you know, it is a low budget import game, what would you expect?

That sword is meant to be the best weapon ever, too, but er.. it's shit. Absolute shit.

Hell the fire-looking wavy sword you can buy for a fortune is 100x better.

Are you joking?

It has the highest one-handed damage, doesn't it?

Who cares when you have maxed physical attributes. Hell why be anything other than a warrior in Fable, with just enrage (or whatever) and melee strike spells you can even kill the end boss in like 5 hits.

The wavy sword has a far superior base damage and extra damage on top of that from its sockets. Made the game far too easy. If you get all the silver keys and the admantanium armour it makes the dragon boss laughable.

I thought the dragon boss was laughable anyway :<

Worse is when you beat the game, and you get a two-minute end movie saying that this is not, in fact, the actual end boss, but actually a pawn in the greater plans of another end boss that you have to beat in the next game.

Fuckerheads.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Morrowind.

Yes, I know it's open ended, but you do all kinds of crazy shit, and what do you get? A 30 second long cutscene and a shitty ring.

Seriously now, you've now proven that you're some demi-god-man-thing and end reward you get is a freakin' ring.

I sure do hope that Oblivion's main story has a bit of a better end reward.

I Tossed the Sword of Aeons away..then got that other one in the guild courtyard..I am guessing that it is just a clone of the Sword of Aeons ment for goody-two shoes. Also the changes yo get for going evil are so much cooler than going good. I mean you grow horns, glowing red fire eyes, and =smoke and brimstone at you feet...good you become a goofy Dolf Lundron.

--and fuck spoiler, the game has been out a year or more. The sequeal better be longer

Yeah but you also get a receeding hairline and attract flies.

I ran into a bug where I got max evil, got the evil bow and learned all the evil-only spells, then killed a trillion undead and got max good and learned all the good-only spells. I had both the good attributes AND the evil attributes - horns, bright blue tatoos, fire 'n brimstone, blue glowy hands. It was neat.

Bit of a derail.

What dragon are you all taking about in Fable? I thought it was a rumor.

Or are you talking about the one that comes out of water when you save you mom and or some crap like that.

I looked all over for info on the Dragon and found nothing.

The dragon that only made it to the PC release and never made it to the x-box version.

In the expansion/extension on the PC. Also downloadable through Xbox Live for the Xbox version I believe, for free. I think.

The Lost Chapters, which makes the game seem like they wanted to put in so much more but were rushed/couldn't. The new content is very little and ther extended quest feel very tacked on.
