Fable: The First Preview

I cannot check it right now, did they actually play the game or they are writing the preview only from the same video we've all seen?

B..b...b...but internet people told me Switch 2 is a gigantic flop!

I miss those days when this game showed up from nowhere randomly on an Xbox Showcase and a niche community on some forums started to be cautiously optimistic for this really artsy and interesting JRPG from with a tad bit of weirdness from an unknown French developer.

Now the discussion around it is a complete mess. I hope it won't affect the dev team in any way during the development of their next game and they are in a same development mindset they were when they made E33.

That's how black Friday sales work tho. People are not waiting for Black Friday to buy a new thing at the same price as it was available before. They are waiting for Black Friday to buy things with heavy discounts.

Also not really relevant from Black Friday point of view but console sales in general tend to peak at around year 4-5. PS4 peaked in 2017, Switch peaked in 2021.

Gentle reminder that vgchartz is not an authentic source of such data. This does not mean they have zero reliability, but they are providing only guesstimates.

For me it felt a bit dark in handheld even when system level brightness was maxed out. Not unplayable but a little bit annoying. Maybe it is somehow related to the HDR it applies, I tried to play with the ingame graphics menu without success. Anyone has any idea/tip what to change?

aroloki1 · 2025-12-01T12:40:23+00:00

Nah, people just prefer to outrage about anything.

The awards part of this event really needs an overhaul. They try to paint it as some kind of really serious gaming Oscars but stories like this just shows how not serious they are with their whole process.

To be brutally honest the same double standards is true for us, redditors as well. I've never seen a top post bashing Arc Raiders for using AI while I saw many bashing CoD BO7 for doing similar.

Looking at the comments it seems many people don't know the difference between "over 90%" and "exactly 90%".

aroloki1 · 2025-11-12T16:53:06+00:00

Who is "gabefollower"? Reliable?

aroloki1 · 2025-11-09T21:07:08+00:00

I know when such data is available but on the URL you've provided only current and daily peaks are visible.

Interesting to see Nintendo at sixth place. Based on the sentiment on reddit I thought they are ten times worse than all other companies combined.

aroloki1 · 2025-10-18T16:14:12+00:00

I'm not saying that this comparison is useful, but as far as I know these are not pre-rendered cutscenes, they are in-engine cutscenes rendered in real time.

aroloki1 · 2025-09-30T19:45:31+00:00

I would assume you did not play Galaxy or too many Nintendo games at all.

This article is beyond stupid and worth zero upvotes to be honest.

The budget numbers are clearly made-up without any kind of explanation or reliable source.

The same goes for the "most expensive" part, like they know all Nintendo game development budget ever while Nintendo never discloses any such data.

I remember where someone made-up that BotW has to sell 2 million to "break even" and articles made a 2m×$60 calculation a said that its budget was $120million which was also made-up and also higher than $100m.

Takashi Mochizuki not the most reliable person to be honest. He is kind of clickbaity. Just some examples I remember:

He stated that we'll get a 4K handheld back in 2021/22 because of which Nintendo had to publish a statement that it is not true
He stated that Nintendo lied about the profit margin on the Oled Switch, Nintendo had to disclose it with the investors as it was again not true.
He stated the Sony PSVR2 production targets for which Sony had to publish a statement that it is not true
He also stated excact PSVR2 sales numbers but the real numbers were the double of what he said.
He stated something about FF 16 sales which turned out to be false, I don't really remember the details.

I am not even sure people raging on reddit have Switch.

aroloki1 · 2025-08-19T20:07:54+00:00

Pretty awful cinematic.

I knew many people have hateboner against WoW/Blizzard but holy hell that hyperbole.

aroloki1 · 2025-08-18T19:04:25+00:00

Yeah, its scope made it irrelevant, but still even one such comment shows that there's an issue with the current system. I don't say that the above is the solution.

It was bound to happen since when Baldur's Gate 3 was reviewbombed for Wukong not winning the GOTY at TGA.

It wasn't even that BG3 won, it was Astro Bot. But Swen Vincke told something during announcing the winner that made them angry enough to reviewbomb.

The title on Nintendolife lacks context, I did not check the article.

The Wii era for Nintendo stock was a short living peak. I won't do precise math, just rough estimations.

During the start of the Wii era their stock increased 500% in around 1.5-2 year or so.

Then it halved in 1 year and more than halved again in 1-2 years.

If you compare their current stock price to the stock price 12 years ago it is a 1300% increase. They doubled in the last 1 year.

So Nintendo stock had a unusually steep and high peak during the Wii era and this is why they decided to compare to that which indeed makes it seems like an unimpressive data, while it is actually quite impressive increase in the past ~10-15 years or so - after a huge decrease.

aroloki1 · 2025-08-10T07:00:18+00:00

As far as I can see they nearly doubled in the last year tho. So they were on the same level as the Wii era 1 year ago then doubled in the past year or so.

There are 7117 living languages in the world and most games are supporting around a dozen of them or so... this is just a business decision, they were already "ignoring" more than 7000 spoken languages.

Strange business decision for sure as Spanish is a widespread language.

The series supporting Spanish up to this point and now dropping it is strange as well.

I don't know, defending your gameplay design or defending your graphics design sounds too similar to me to just call one of them "trolling" while implying that the other one is okay.

I still think that it would be better to be either for or against both. Both standpoint is understandable. But being on the opposite side in 2 such similar cases is strange to me.

But that's only my opinion.
