I'm with you 100%. I genuinely feel ripped off and honestly think it was a waste of money. I love Fable and all, but I really hope they fix this lack of content and give us free DLC if not a patch of the entire game. It's what we deserve. I shouldn't feel like I completed the game entirely after a week and not want to play it anymore. I don't even want to get all the achievements.
I will not be buying any DLC for this game ever.
Boom's right, it's not a full game at all. And the original post said that if you were content with the content of the game, then you don't have to participate. I didn't even know about any of the DLC but realize how little there is in the game.
You're right, but now they're just taking it too far. And why should those of us who realize that we're being taken advantage of suffer for those of you who don't care? It's not fair.
Actually, I honestly think this is way beyond how any business would operate, they're doing too much (or too little rather).
Right, and we're all fans here and realize the fact that we've been jipped of a potentially awesome game.
I believe Fable II was a much better game than III...it's hard to even think that they're from the same franchise.
How is this NOT a complete game? The fact that DLC exists aside, what makes it any different from Fable 2 in terms of content? Yeah, it's short, but so was 2...they're about equal in length. What content exactly is missing?
This is very much a full game--Personally, I am confident that, had we no knowledge of DLC, everyone would be happy. And about this: " And why should those of us who realize that we're being taken advantage of suffer for those of you who don't care? It's not fair."
That statement REALLY bothers me. I realize completely how we are taken advantage of, how consumers are always taken advantage of. It is an evil practice, but one that is highly effective. Until business owners start putting customers before profits, however, this is how things will continue to be. Look at something like shaving razors, for instance. Notice that you may be able to buy a relatively cheap set of handles, but then the blades are WAAAAY overpriced. Technically, shouldn't the blades be included? Yes, but it's a more effective money-making strategy to do things this way.
Finally--of the DLC that has been revealed, none of it has given me the impression that it would improve the game at all, or even really expand it. I don't see what the cause for complaints is. It's not like you need to pay to download the second half of the game, although that's what most of these arguments seem to be implying.
I really think that this is being made into far too big of a deal. I think it is incredibly ignorant to be getting so upset about this, especially when you're not missing anything essential--it's not like IMPORTANT aspects of the game were cut. I will continue to hold these views until we need to start paying for patches--THEN I will agree that we are being ripped off far beyond normal business practice.
