You have to love game company community forums. When their users get pissed, you soon know about it. I’ve not played Fable 2 yet (it’s not out in the UK until Friday) but over on the Lionhead forums, people are currently bouncing their angry ballbags over the co-op in Peter Molyneux’s latest opus, claiming it to be buggy and maligned by a poor camera, as well as forcing players to become mere “henchmen” instead of their own heroes.
It seems that a fair few Fable 2 players are highly disappointed by the multiplayer option, labeling it “watered down crap” and complaining that you cannot be your own character. It all sounds like a big let-down, which is a shame considering multiplayer was a huge selling point for me.
Of course, a member of the game’s dev team did little to soothe angry hearts. Clearly not wanting to smoke a peace pipe or make amends, team member “Woody” decided to respond with the question: “Handbag, anyone?” He of course offered a premium selection of handbags (pictured above) for the angry gamers to choose from.
Yeah … that didn’t go down too well. If you’d like to watch to rest of the train wreck, by all means grab some popcorn and beware — some panties are getting wound so tightly over there that they might snap off and hit you in the eye!
