Fable 3 Gets a 7.5. Keep it here

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

G4 don't know gaming, or comedy.

Wait, what? I didn't say anything like that. :|Cherokee_Jack

I thought you were essentially giving him the old "nice OPINION". If not, my apologies.

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

Is this a joke! :lol:

They did? BASTARDS! Ohwell, that's fine as long as they didn't outright lie about the campaign length like Game Informer did.

tell me, How many people actually have the game?

I don't like that 7.5 score but I'm liking it well more than 2.

I will pick this up after I finish Fable 1 and 2. By then it should be cheap as hell.

From all the reviews I've read it looks like they took out a ton of what made Fable 2 one of my best experiences this generation :cry:

I was hyping it AA but for some reason im not surprised! I´ll pass

I'll still get the pc version.

im still looking forward to playing this game, of all the major gaming websites i follow, gamespot scored it by far the lowest (not surprised)

Wow...Damn you Mollineux! Always over-hypping!

Seems like the consensus amongst critics is that it's a somewhat disappointing sequel. So that's disappointing.

Peter Molyneux needs to realise that people want conversation trees, menus, combat with depth and lots of other elements present in other RPGs. I love the Fable setting, but why do I want to run around farting on guards and dancing for cheers.

Having said that, Oblivion managed to get a 9.6 here...and it's probably just as shallow as a Fable game. The voice acting is probably a lot worse as well.

It looked pretty bad and the score reflects this.

Yeah I know, 7.5 isn't bad, blah blah blah, however in a generation where AAA score are handed out like candy, 7.5 means a game is pretty damn average.

He was referring to Oblivion's voice acting.

I was just trying to give the heart broken fans some reassurance. I myself find Fable as a series to be pretty damn shallow. Simple time-passers is all they are.

Surely it can't be hard to make a game fun. How can Peter forget the basics of an engaging action game? Instead he goes after some BS social interaction which will never work.

Just like Fable 2 where he hyped up the dog which ended up just showing you where treasure was.

Much like the first where he hyped up some persistent ageing system, which ended up only ageing you at certain points in the game

How's about we forget all that **** and just give the game some good combat?

True. Since i'm such an anti-social basement dweller the mere fact I can hold an NPC's hand makes Fable 3 a definate purchase ...

He propper rimmed the social interactions like they where the next best thing in gaming. Just like he did with the dog in fable 2.

"You can see, as soon as you give the power [to the in game character] to reach out, touch and embrace, it makes a really big difference. It's so much more intimate than just pressing X – because you physically have to drag him there, it's so much more involving"

Turned out well eh?

Fable 2 - This is a hilarious one

"Obviously there was a lot that we wanted to do in Fable that had to be left out, but we're putting all of that in Fable 2. For instance, the game can monitor how often you turn to your left or right while walking, running, or just spinning in place. The gamer's subconscious decision to turn one way more than the other will be reflected in the character model as one side of his body becomes much more muscular than the other."

More -

"Players will be able to adjust the volume from 1 to 100 in increments of 1. You could play the game 100 times and have an entirely different experience."

Even the volume control was hyped!!! LOL. I'm not sure, i'd have to put Fable 2 on to see, but how did that turn out?

Anyway is anybody surprised? Jim Sterling gave it a 5.5 as well

And also Peter said this game needed to sell like 3 million copies right? Well I ain't gonna support him again with my money

Atleast Fable 1 was a fun little Fairy tale themed Action Adventure game with light RPG elements and some C&C.

Fable 2 was garbage and Fable 3 will probably be a POS as well.

[QUOTE="-Snooze-"]

[QUOTE="sts106mat"] i am sick of people banging on about Pete Molyneux, he hasn't hyped this game and hardly hyped Fable 2. can anyone find evidence of him over-hyping this game? also with the likes of simon peg, stephen fry, ben kingsley & john cleese doing the voice acting, perhaps you might re-think your last comment. sts106mat

He did say those, and if you really likeI can link you too them? or this

If that's what you consider hype then very few games are ever hyped. Very few devs will come out and make such ridiculous claims, the worse he do have comes from MS employees like Peter and that geezer who made Ninety Nine Nights 3

And yes you do morph in Fable 2, just like Fable 1 and a plethora of other titles. The problem is Peter often Hypes something up as one thing, then on release we get something that is completely different and simplified.

Fable 1 was a good game. I really enjoyed it. Far more then Fable 2.

Edit: Wow, Fable 2 had tons of hype. A quick google search of "Fable 2 preview" really shows how full of hot air Peter is.

I don't read preview. Hell, i don't even read reviews.

Evern with no expectations, it still dissapointed.

The Story is already Miles ahead of Fable 2.

[QUOTE="dommeus"][QUOTE="sts106mat"] maybe if you actually watched & listened to the dev diaries, PM says they are going down the action game route. the only RPG part is the fact that you play the role of a character. it was never supposed to be an in depth RPG with 16 sided dice and micromanaging everything. if it was i wouldn't buy it. sts106mat

i cant be bothered with this place anymore, the posts are ludicrous. i would rather blow torch my armpits.

You can't be serious... he actually bragged about that stuff? Clearly the guy is in need of serious mental help.

I guess Peter Molyneux saying this game was going to be the best in the series was...

Just another Fable

i have lol'ed enough tbh, now i just feel sorry for the 360 :|

Wasn't Fable 3 supposed to be some revolutionary game? I just watched the review. What the heck happened? The game looks like Fable 2. The animation is crap too.

Thank god I did not pre order this game.
