Fable 3 Gets a 7.5. Keep it here

does Peter even play his own games? lol

he should go out and play some ps3 exclusives like GoW3 and Uncharted2 and see what AAA is all about.

That wasn't necessary. Oh wait you're a cow, my bad. Carry on...doin' what ya do.

And this Fall continues to dissapoint. Worst Fall in recent memory.

On topic, this game looked rushed anyway. Meh, Ill just play through Vanquish a couple more times :)

once again peter over hypes and under delivers.lol wow its been a tough year for 360 gamers. aside from reach and alan wake the games have been lacking this year imo. kinect is the next flop on the horizon

The absence of Milo kept it from being AAAA status.

FLOPPAGE! :lol: I had a feeling it was going to flop when I saw NineGN give it an 8.5. Man there have been a lot of flops lately, looks like GS is trying to make up for the Vanquish AAA score. :P

i don't see what the big deal is, a 7.5 is alright, then again i never played the fable series so this would be a new exprience for me

How would that help him, considering those games are absolutely NOTHING like Fable? Obviously the guy has some talent. I think he just has the wrong idea about what qualifies as "cool" game mechanics and how to properly implement them. He needs to give Fable a rest and try something new.

Seems like nobody is pushing the envelope anymore. It's the humdrum season of this gen for sure. Every sequel looks tired and typical. Bread_or_Decide

Platinum Games is continually pushing the envelope with every new release. They're masters.

Ok, perhaps pushing the envelope was the incorrect term. Raising the bar?

Well I don't really care for GS scores, but he did hype it as the next best thing, so yeah... :P

I'd say that what Vanquish and Bayonetta did was no small feat. Esp the way Vanquish revs up the cover system thats being over used this gen. After Vanquish everything else is going to feel really slow. Hear that GEOW3? Time to step up. No more slow marines moving at a snails pace. Bread_or_Decide

I'm looking forward to Gears 3 but I fear Vanquish has spoiled me. Gears probably aint gonna feel as good as it used to. I don't know what they can do about it though. It wouldn't make much sense throwing thrusters on the COG armor...

Flopble III. Xplay should also retroactively apologize for naming Fable II game of the year. Just saying.Bread_or_Decide

Damn, I just realised the PC version isn't out until February. Oh well, I wasn't gonna pick it up right away anyway. Still, shame about the score. I expected better.

I posted this in another thread but I'm gonna copy/paste it here because it's relevant to the topic.

I think it's the limitation of technology that's keeping him from making great games. By that I mean, what he's trying to achieve with Fable (basically attempting to emulate how real life operates) just isn't possible with today's technology. Until we have some big technological leaps he will always fail, with Fable anyways.

Heh :D I think it's the opposite, the processing power is there but the code has to be written and tested from scratch, no 3D party experience/help exist in the domain Peter explore.

If only he could stay still for a moment and finish an idea(like polishingthe touch system for Fable 4), but he keeps getting brand new ones. I would love to see other developers picking up some of his ideas.

Yeah, he could possibly pull it off I guess, but he would need a pretty long development time like you say. Maybe not Duke Nukem Forever development time, but definitly longer than the standard 2-3 year dev time.

It seems to involve alot of trial and error. Unfortunately for him I don't think Microsoft is the most patient of publishers.

I will still rent it i loved fable 2

:lol: didn't Secret Police say this was gonna be better than Skyward Sword?

Wow, the Fable series just gets worse as each new game is released.:lol:

I actually had a chance to play some Fable 2 a week ago,and now I'm about 20 hours into Fallout NV I can see ,despite all of PM's BS and bluster,how irredeemably shallow and streamlined the Fable series is.

About as high as a casualized RPG should get.

Pretty decent score though. 7.5 is still more than playable.

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

jg4xchamp

That's a shame, when I read the little thing: "BUT a bevy of technical problems" I knew it would flop, especially after Fallout NV. Oh well, SW has something to feast on until the next game :P

Flop!? Oh my :lol:

Regardless of it flopping, a 7.5 is not bad.

I'm not surprised in the slightest. Still a 7.5 is still entirely playable, and probably enjoyable for fans.

I may rent and try it out.

Just as expected from Molyneux. Overhyped, underdelivered. Shallow moral choices aren't going to cover up for a half-arsed plot.

Haven't bought anything from Molyneux since the original Fable and he's never failed to disappoint.
