No Fable III PC News Yet

Lionhead Studios tweets that they are still unable to provide any news on the forsaken Windows edition of Fable III, their RPG sequel (thanks VG247). Word is:

It's painful to admit we can't yet answer any questions on the PC version of Fable III... Hopefully soon we can spill the beans!

Yeah actually it is a matter of opinion. Saying you don't like X about a game doesn't make it an objective fact. You are literally trying to change the definition of subjective because you dislike the game.
Dude, he said it as clear as he could. Taste vs quality. I have recognized plenty of high quality games, but I prefer not to play them for whatever reason. That doesn't mean I think they're of poor quality however. The good Dr. certainly sprinkled in some opinion about Alan Wake, but it's easy to distinguish his points regarding the quality from his opinion on why he didn't like it.

"Taste vs quality" doesn't mean anything though. It's usually a backhanded way of saying that your opinion is superior. There's a reason people seek consensus review of media. I found the writing quite acceptable for a videogame, if anything some of the prose surprised me considering it was a title supposedly intended for the console market. He didn't like the characterization, I didn't love it but I don't think it was "poor quality" either. Remedy games have a very distinct flavor for their tone and characters but I don't expect everyone to love it. The one thing I can point to in the game and label poor quality is the facial modeling and some of the meshes. They are measurably and objectively bad, no one can compare them to other modern games and call them good. Generally, reviews bear me out here too, it's quite a middling and divisive game to be certain but not a poor quality title (whatever the hell that means in the first place).

Regardless, the point was not ever "Alan Wake is a great game", it was "Microsoft should port Alan Wake because PC gamers would buy it". It's a game that's beyond its earning potential on the consoles and any money made back would be a boon at this point. Microsoft has unused IP that could used towards garnering some attention to their DD efforts and maybe even a bit of goodwill with the scorned PC community. I think people would be a lot more receptive to getting Alan Wake as opposed to Fable 3 at this point.
