10 Video Games That Roasted Themselves
10. Fable II's Anti-Climactic Ending - Fable III
Fable fans will likely remember the colossally deflating moment at the end of the second game where the final boss, Lord Lucien, is killed with a single gunshot after an entire game's worth of build-up.
Though this was to make the dramatic point that Lucien is really just an old man without the Tattered Spire to grant him incredible power, it nevertheless left fans feeling deprived of a gratifying final battle.
But Lionhead gamely responded to the criticism by including an hilarious gag in Fable III's side mission "The Game," where you play a tabletop RPG and end up defeating the big bad Baron with just a single hit.
At that moment, one of your fellow players loudly quips, "What kind of rubbish game lets you kill the villain in one hit?". To anyone left wildly underwhelmed by that Lord Lucien fight, this was an uproariously gratifying apology.
