Dear Video Game Designers
The Fable series is a lot of fun, it’s true. Its multiplayer is a wreck, though. In fact, the multiplayer for every non-FPS game is a wreck.
There are things you could learn from Halo 2 and beyond. I realize that short-form games are very different from epic adventures, but even so, there is no way for people to gather, to talk as a group, to engage in adventures the way you can in FPS games, and I believe this can happen. Perhaps we call that an MMO, you say, and you make a strong argument, but even a regular fantasy game can have better interaction with your friends.
Just don’t give us another Metroid Prime 3: Corruption multiplayer experience. In fact, can we just admit that it wasn’t multiplayer at all?
