10 Potentially Awesome Video Games That Were Stupidly Broken

7. Fable 3

Yes, it has its moments of fun, but Fable 3 is one horribly buggy game that's made all the worse due to its rather short story, micro-transactions (You have to purchase the colour black for customisation?) and lack of an ending (the game was supposed to continue after you became king... except it really didn't). The terrible graphics were one thing, but the constant clipping was another. Nothing about the game was polished in the least and even cutscenes were a constant barrage of characters, clothes and items popping through each other as exposition was delivered. Added to this was the game's failure of recognising accomplished missions which would lock the player within inescapable environments or deny them access to the legendary weapons hidden behind the many Demon Doors. On numerous occasions the game would even become frozen on load-screens while your character was attacked and killed by bandits, trolls or Balverines. And those are just the issues which occur if the game didn't completely stall or crash the system. It's about time the book were just closed on this "fantastical" series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-8gCfnTuUI

Greetings from The Yentz! The Warrior of the Wasteland! The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla! I live, eat and breathe film... And videogames... And comics... And, well... Anything that might be considered "nerd related". I consider myself the voice against that of mainstream cinema. While critics might praise the ostentatious drivel supplied by Oscar-pandering films, I enjoy directing attention to less popular gems in hopes of educating people on incredible film experiences that may not be backed by massive studios, nominations and a star-studded cast. Outside of WhatCulture!, I write for Movieweb, assisted BlueCat as a script analyst, have worked on films from the east coast to the west and continue to write, critique and direct here in the lovable land of ol' LA. I hope you enjoy reading my diatribes as much as I enjoy writing them.
