Fable 3 Gets a 7.5. Keep it here

[QUOTE="Im_single"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"]Burrrrn. Lems really need a break. I have to feel sorry for them.Cherokee_Jack

Gonna be a long year lol.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="Im_single"] I'm pretty sure the 9.5 for Halo: Reach is still sitting well with them.Chutebox

Gonna be a long year lol.

Did the score say you couldn't have a great time with it? They aren't trying to predict your personal enjoyment.Cherokee_Jack

Huh? You're saying that as though the score is some perfect, objective measure of quality.

still can't believe the 360 has nothing till Q4lawlessx

On the plus side, hopefully that means MS has some big XBLA titles in the works (or are offering some indies a ****-ton of money for timed exclusivity, anyway).

[QUOTE="Chutebox"]

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] Yeah, but that was always a given, and everything else has sort of been going sour for them. Now they have to go through this whole Kinect thing before they have something else positive to talk about (Gears) But whatever, I don't want to rub it in.lawlessx

Gonna be a long year lol.

lol @ score.

Didn't see that coming.

I am having a great time with it. Yes, the gameplay is 'over simplified', but it is just meant to be a fun game with a wonderful atmosphere... nothing more. These are the reasons that I loved the first Fable so much, but I felt that the second one just did not have that 'magic', so to speak. So far, Fable III is delivering that feeling in abundance for me. It is simply a game to kick back and have fun with in a beautiful world with a magical atmosphere and great humor. Yet another 'flop' that I will love. Scores be damned yet again.

Cherokee_Jack

Did I say that it did? I just gave my impressions of the game thus far and said, "scores be damned" because this is yet another game that flopped on Gamespot that I happen to be enjoying. It is not the first time, and certainly will not be the last either. Fact is, I don't care what a game scores as long as I enjoy it. Not that a 7.5 is an atrocious score anyway. However, you would not know any better by reading through System Wars.

Ouch. Not the strongest month for RPG's.

The question remains though, has Fable 3 lived up to the leaf king hype?

so do lems still want this game to be exclusive?TintedEyes

Does cows still want games like M.A.G., Ratchet and Clank, Socom and all those other PS3 flops to stay exclusive? LMAO!! That's what I thought. Ask a stupid question.

************************************************************************

time to spank all those why hyped this flop despite the fact that the past two games were flops as wellrunbleduck

Ouch. :(

There has been a lot of flops this months. Fallout: NV, SW:TFU2, Medal of Honor, Sonic 4 and now this.

Might turn out like LOS though (meaning it's still loved by the regular gamers).

Yep, October definitly takes the top spot for most unpredictable month of the year. I wonder if people are going to continue ignoring Vanquish now that Fable 3 flopped hard.

Pretty good review. Sounds like the game is good just the tech issues bring it down a bit. Maybe they can fix that with a patch or something but eh I doubt it. Either way I will be picking it up at some point down the line as I really enjoyed Fable 2 quite a bit and this looks like more of the same.

i guess the biggest shame about this whole thing is that albion is one of my fav gaming worlds and i love to run around in it and chuckle at how entertaining it is then it's crippled by the lack of challenge.

my gamefly copy should get here tomorrow and i guess i'm hoping that the atmosphere will be enough to keep me interested in it enough to finish it since that is basically what kept me playing fable 2.

interesting enough out of the 9 people that was on xbl tonight as i was playing RDR undead and the NFS demo 5 were playing fable 3 so my guess is this thing is going to sell like mad and most likely get another sequel.

Hmm, I'll see if this can break the 8.0 barrier for the PC version and then decide if I should get it or not.

I really don't understand this.

I better not get dissapointed from this game in a few minutes when I start playing it.

I mean if Halo Reach got a 9.5 then Why did this game get a 7.5??

No, I was not disputing the review at all. Tom is certainly entitled to his opinion. I was merely giving my impressions thus far and said "reviews be damned" because I am enjoying it, despite the fact that it is a 'flop' here in System Wars. But, yes, I would give it a higher score based on what I have played. The fact that I can run around in a chicken suit while terrorizing Albion on my way to becoming king is worth the price of admission alone for me, lol.

I love deep, challenging and complex games as well, but sometimes I just want to kick back, laugh and just have some plain old fun in a world with a great atmosphere. Fable delivers that for me and I could not be happier with this installment of the series. Now, someone who goes in expecting it to be a deep game probably will be disappointed, but that has never been what Fable is about for me anyway. *shrugs*

Famitsu gave Fable 3 this score: [spoiler] 9, 9, 8, 9 - 35/40 [/spoiler]

eh, it's one person's review, in no way is it paramount. other sites have given it amazing reviews. different strokes for different folks i'm guessing. either way, i will be picking this up soon.

Exactly, this is just a fun game to chill with and goof off in, while enjoying the great atmosphere. It is not supposed to be some challenging, complex game, it is all about the enjoyment and the magical fairy tale atmosphere. A game does not have to be some ultra hardcore, overly complex masterpiece in order to just be fun. Fable is just a light-hearted, whimsical series that is meant to put a smile on your face more than anything.

I love all sorts of games, but ultimately, as long as a game delivers fun for me then all is good. Whether that be from a challenging and complex role playing game, a frag fest shooter or a humorous, light-hearted game with a magical atmosphere like Fable. It does what it does plenty well enough for me and I enjoy it for what it is.

Haha. Can't say I really expected that, I figured on a nice, safe 8.0. Molyneaux overhypes an underwhelming game, yet again. I'm sure I would like Fable 3 if I played it, just not enough to buy it. What a weird month. Fable, Star Wars, New Vegas consoles, Medal of Honor all kind of flopping, and Vanquish coming from nowhere with a AAA.Hahadouken

Can you expect any less from Shinji Mikami? The guy has become a living legend. I will literally buy anything he makes now, no question about it.

On-topic - Peter Molyneux should just say that his game will suck before it launches, that way it exceeds expectations :lol:

You know I didn't think about it until now but I feel like we should have seen this coming when the first thing they hyped was the ability to hold npc hands.

Sounds like the game was saved by humor, good artstyle and a nice soundtrack.

All about the gameplay huh?

Holding hands is teh future of gaming.

7.5? This game looks so much fun. Anyway the review average is 8.5. I plan on getting it soon. Maybe Ill buy the PC version too when it comes out.GeneralShowzer

This is why some folks shouldn't pay too much attention to IGN scores. :PStevo_the_gamer

Yeah I bet it counts if they give GT5 a 10 and GS gives it a 9! :lol:

The Story is already Miles ahead of Fable 2.

G4 could still give it GOTY. They gave it to Fable 2 if I'm not mistaken, which was pretty dumb but whatever.

Well that sucks.

Good thing it went multiplat amirite :P?

forget fallout newvegas, fable3 is flop of the year imho only gt5 will have a perfect score and wont flop
