These People All Seem Pretty Excited About Fable: The Journey

They're all "core gamers," you see. That means you have to listen to them. They're just like you. Just. Like. You.

I can't believe i am going to say this but this actually looks worse than Fable 3. I didn't think they could top themselves.

It's like they're saying all the things I want to say... They're in my head! Oh, dear god, they're in my head!!

Anyway, I've always considered Playstation and SNES days to be some of the golden eras. When someone tells me they play Skyrim and Mass Effect and that's why they consider themselves hardcore gamers, I usually stop listening before I have a brain aneurysm. Also, I miss SEGA.

Hey! How about you show the game actually being played buy the people when they are doing the motions in front of the screen! If it looks smooth then it sells itself. Stop bullshitting around with this "core gamer" shit...

But... those people are nothing like me. I don't exude massive quantities of douche and try to convince people that I am something that I am not. I do exude small quantities of douche though. But those fuckers are like Spinal Tap without the cool, they just turned it up to 11.

And I love how "core" gamers can only list modern games. Ask them what Contra is and they'd probably ask, "What's a Contra? Is that a gun in Halo?"

that would probably be the best thing ever. If that's the case I'd buy the 50.000$ DLC for the game

Are you a core gamer? You have to tell me if you're a core gamer.

it's in the constitution.

Bragging about how many games you play doesnt mean you have good taste. It just means you have to much free time.

So, "core gamer" is shorthand for "only buys the games that get advertised on the TVs in Gamestop," right?

you know, these people are more than happy to be in a video and talk about something they like. So is it meta commentary when gamers bitch about gamers liking stuff?

Transcript:

"Games are a huge part of my life, always will be. I'm a core gamer. There's that level of obsession that I think you need before you can grab that tag."

"You play a lot of Halo, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Skyrim, Fable.... Yeah I have a problem"

"I have almost every game system that's out. I play almost every game that I can. I've always been a gamer"

"Fable is just so much fun going through and forging your own little path through this amazing gameworld"

"I am definitely a big fan of the Fable series. I love how you can level up, choose different... abilities.... tons of fun"

"I kind of see Kinect as a bit of a party trick. It's not something I've seen myself as I wanna sit down and play"

"I play Kinect, I just wanna see it implemented into a really awesome game"

"If this Fable is as cool as I think it's gonna be, then Kinect's in my Christmas stocking"

*Flailing and gameplay*

"So I just finished the Fable demo and I'm pretty much speechless after that, it's just amazing"

"It was awesome!"

"Everything's so cool! So cool!"

"It's a lot bigger than anything I think I've seen on Kinect"

"The concerns I had before about precision aiming, like, the controls being responsive: That was very fine tuned"

"I actually responded to this version of Fable more so than the other versions. The Kinect element was a big part of that"

"I will definitely be playing this game"

"I will be buying Fable: The Journey hands down"

"I actually haven't liked a Kinect game until now"

"It's much more of a hardcore game than any other game on **** I've seen so far"

"It's definitely a Fable title that is gonna appeal to the core gamer. It's the kinda thing that's gonna get me to go out and buy a Kinect for sure"

"It's... a new gaming... world! If you're a Fable fan at all you gotta get this game"
