Re: The Official NextBox Thread!

Frankly I was never a fan of what they were trying to do with Fable Legends myself. It was pretty much downhill after Fable 2 anyways. Without the "superstar" Molyneux there anymore, I guess this was just a matter of time.

I'd be shocked by this. It was most likely a placeholder price. Even with the weak CDN dollar, twice the price of the console would be outrageous.

Wrapped up 3 out of 4 of the main story branches through selective loading and playthroughs.
Only one I'm missing is the Railroad. Overall all of them have very cool elements that are worth experiencing.

I bought it through Green Man Gaming. 1 - it was cheaper than the console version. 2 - I found a 20% discount code for Green Man Gaming. 3 - It's a Steam code.

With tax, it was about 17$ cheaper than the before tax Xbox One price.

Results may vary with the cryptarch too. At ~290 light, I'll get mostly stull in the 265-285 range with the odd blue piece shooting up to 290+. Those have 1 purpose in life. Infusing purples.

If I'm not mistaken, a 280 purple will give you more light than a 290 blue
