Title says it all. I don't even know if I will have time to play this one because I'm getting 2 other RPGs for May, The Witcher 2 and Dungeon Siege 3. In fact, I bet most of you are all gonna go for The Witcher 2! I'll be picking up FEAR 3 as well and Duke Nukem Forever! Good thing I'll be done with my semester by mid-May!

I'm actually interested, it may not be a masterpiece but from what I played it was a fun RPG.

This seems a bit redundant without Fable 2 being on the PC as well, and by the time this game comes out interest will likely have dried up significantly. I'll probably end up buying it anyway though as I never purchased it for the 360 originally.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of Fable, but after all the hype and disappointment between Fable 2 and Fable 3, I really just stopped caring. Anyway, if it's for a reasonable price, I will consider.... but for now.. whatever...

You have to wonder about the thought processes surrounding this release. They simply could not have picked a worse time to release Fable 3 on the PC, it is so idiotic I am left with the perverse thought that they actually WANT this game to fail on the PC. I mean does any one here actually think it makes commercial sense to release Fable 3 practically at the same time that Witcher 2 is hitting the PC ?

Ah well not my problem, it will be quite satisfying to see Witcher 2 pummel Fable 3 into the ground in every way possible.

If it's on Steam for $5 or less then maybe I'll get it. I'm still angry that I payed full price for Fable 2.

Probably won't even be on Steam if MS last release is any indication... And then they will complain about no sales, even tho they didn't offer it to the single biggest market for selling PC games.

......Why are they releasing this the same day the Witcher 2 is coming out? :? Bad move, specially for such late console port.

By the time this game comes out, I'd be already occupied with better ones plus The Witcher 2 releases then, which I'll get in the end.

They sure have a lot of guts releasing it the same day as the giant The Witcher 2. I'll get both, but if I had to choose I'd be getting The Witcher 2 by faaaar.

The release date couldn't be more poorly planned with games like TW2, L.A. Noire, Brink coming the same day and makes me think MS is doing this so they can say "See? PC games don't sell!" and ditch the effort entirely. Either that or they have great confidence and arrogance that it will beat TW2, even despite the crappy reviews and that PC gamers already forgot about Fable

I watched some reviews of the 360 verson and it looked very tedious. Unless they tidied up some of the features I'm going to pass on that alone. =( I enjoyed the first game very much.

I heard it had tech problems though, at least when it came out. My PC is somewhat persnickety about what it chooses to run >_>

It had no problems, it runs perfectly fine and I didn't encounter a single bug, the only problem it had were people not believing they have to upgrade their extremely old PCs to be able to play it, but at that time, pixel shader should have been present on any PC that was used for gaming.

It also opened my eyes.. because I was willing to drop at least $30-40 for it... good thing the game was delayed, and then I ran into that vid.

Who needs inventories in this day and age? Regular inventories are too convenient and useful, we need something that's unnecessarily clunky and slow. The sanctuary is all that and more! Keep your money and get Skyrim folks.

Wow...thx to the guy that posted that youtube video with 32 reasons why fable 3 sucks...

Anyhow,it looks to me that fable 3 failed/sucks because of the platform that is developed on...They couldnt make a better fable 3 even if they wanted...they are held back by their own platform(x360)..ironic,huh?

To me that dude who made the video of "32 reason why fable..." (he)is blamable for fable 3 "fail" also...Because you cant be outrage now that more and more games sucks on console,when everybody around you knew the outcome from the very beginning...I mean, this dude said he supported Fable franchise from the very beginning...including fable 2...c'mon dude,if ur giving the choice to ride a horse(xbox 360) or a sports car(pc) on a highway and you choose the horse,you dont have any right to make a video and rage about how stupid and how much it sucks to ride a horse on a highway instead of a sports car...YOU choose to support developers in making games on x360 even if you knew it was an ancient/limited platform...and now ur complaining about it?

You know that Angry Joe is for the most part a PC gamer right? His favourite series is Total War...

And whats that sayz about him?Blindly buying games for a platform that is obsolete...and then making "rage" videos about how much that game(s) suck...

Why did he bought a console in the first place?Oh, the games he wants to play are not on PC?So he bought an xbox 360 with the guarantee that 90% of the games that would be made for that platform will be bad...He couldnt play Fable 3 on PC so he decided to buy it for xbox knowing that the game will suck...where is the logic?Wouldnt be better if he wouldnt bought it at all?...that is how you let the developers know you dont like their game: YOU DONT FREAKING BUY IT!

If a game dosent comes out for PC...dont bother buying a console for that game(s)...In 90% of the cases your not going to miss much...dont support developers like Lionhead/Peter Molyneux who makes crappy games...

Why would someone buy a console only for the exclusive titles that it has?

Most of the console exclusive titles are poor poor games...except for a few...and those few games you can count them on the fingers of one hand...

Let's just all agree to buy...THE WITCHER 2! I'll admit, I'll probably get Fable 3 sometime but I'm gonna wait until its 20 bucks or less. I brought Fable TLC for 9.99 anyways.

That is saying a lot. Quite frankly, I'm worried about you mate. :P

I played like an hour on the Xbox 360 and it was okay, plus it has same screen co-op something not a lot of games have these days. While I've never played a Fable game before at least I didn't feel like I was being slapped on the face repeatedly with a certain male organ like I felt like when I was playing the Dragon Age 2 demo.
