LINKAGE OF FLOP

"This gorgeous world is brimming with humor and personality, but a bevy of technical problems and overly simplified gameplay distract from the fun"

Good:

  • Strong and varied artistic design
  • Consistently funny the whole way through
  • Great musical score.
Bad:
  • Shallow, tedious combat
  • Lack of interesting moral choices until the end
  • No emotional connection to any characters
  • Lots of small technical problems.

I think I speak for myself when I say

:lol: @ Fable

"Shallow, tedious combat" Ah gamespot gets me, when IGN praised the combat I was like "wut" because it looks very lame to me, my trend of agreeing with GS much more than IGN continues.

It's upholding an 82 on MC currently, which isn't that bad.

This is SW though, and flop = horrific game of horrific proportions. E.g. Fable 3 is worse than Big Rigs.

Because lots of reviews gives a better understanding of what the critics as a whole think of the game, instead of just one source. It's just like a survey, the more people surveyed, the more accurate the results.

Where your allowed to quote other sites scores if you wish, it's just that GS scores will be the only ones used for flops.

Yet another example of Peter's hype through the roof but failing in execution. Nearly every single one of his games turns out the same.

No it is not, the other 2 fable games were ok at best, and this game is somehow worse then those. I think fable 1 altho inferior to fable2 is the better game because I feel it was better for its time of release. All my opinion of course

7.5 isn't really that bad of a score, and I personally think anyone who hasn't played Fable II will get alot out of the 3rd one, like the reviewer said the main issue is that its just to similar to its predecessor; not so much that its a bad game.

Sounds about right. Game doesn't feel very different from 2 right now. The whole "touch" concept feels over used already. Still a fun game so far. Probably not gonna be worth the price I paid (limited edition) but oh well.
