Fable looks like one of the best things MS has ever made. - my hot take

that's quite the take.  i think it looks pretty good but it still looks pretty much like fable with nicer graphics.   i expect it will be good but not sure if it is the best thing MS has ever made.   ...or if that's true i guess it is only because everything MS makes is pretty mediocre?!? 

anyways, i do want to play it.   very unlikely to get it day-1 though.   probably pick it up a year later when it is half price or less.   unless it ends up having campaign coop then i could see getting it day-1 to play with my coop buddy.   one thing i didn't like was it felt a bit too grounded.  the original fable had unrealistic and exaggerated proportions.  cartoon-ish.  i liked that.   i especially thought the magic shown felt a bit underwhelming and not at all magical.  it just needs to be a bit bigger,.. or particles or something.   



forza horizon looks fine i guess.  i'm not much for cars.  i bought GT7 to go with my psvr2 and that's probably all the car game i can handel for 1 generation.   i guess i'd consider it if forza supported VR.  if not it's just not my kind of game.



kiln is a thing.   i expect it to flop.   i in theory like that its not like anything i've ever played.   still don't want to play it.



beast of reincarnation looked kind of rough to me.  based on what i saw today it feel like a hard pass.
