Of course it will be, not many games don't get 'bashed' these days. We're become (unfortunately) a very critical market. It doesn't help that Peter Molyneux exaggerates his games far too much. I mean, it's great to see the dedication and the man never lies about his games, but he really overhypes them, which probably didn't help Fable 2. He seems a little more quiet this time round. Personally, i thought Fable 2 was decent, though it lacked the depth of the first.

blame molenyuex's overhyping and underdelivering on many occasions for it being bashed..Fable 1 was decent and i never played 2.But Lionhead have a good track record of underdelivering imo.

Black and white could have easily been better and been the same as what populus was to bullfrog,

Black and White 2 was really good... a big improvement over part one, which I also loved. That's how Lionhead/Molenuex handles game design, it seems... he makes an ambitious title that fails to live up to its potential, then gets it right in the sequel.

The only rpg that is worth bashing imo is Oblivion.. Outside of that, I don't understand the people whining about games like Mass Effect 2.. sSubZerOo

lol why is oblivion worth bashing?

so dumbed down after morrowind and the game felt uber simplified which took away some of what made the elder scrolls games what they were.Dont get me wrong it was nice looking but gameplay and quest wise it felt as flat as a pancake compared to its predescessor even the art style :(

Personally, I would like more genres to step outside the realm of "traditional". It's the only way the industry can go forward. Fable may not set a new standard, but it is something different from most RPG games. Portal and Mirrors Edge are alos good examples of how the FPS doesn't need the "S" in it.

I expect that most of the bashing is more or less a direct result of Peter Molyneux's attempts at having us believe that his Fable franchise is practically the worlds first implementation of true VR and a predecessor to SKYNET!

I disagree. The fact that physics were integrated into The Elder Scrolls in Oblivion made it better, IMO. In Morrowind, you can swing your sword 5 times, and only twice would you be able to actually hit your opponent depending on your stats. I'm glad they got rid of the "roll of the dice" gameplay.

If it's anything like Fable II I wouldn't be surprised. Many people enjoyed the game, but there was a farily big outcry against it (it's Molyneux, what should we expect?).

I hated Fable 2. All it consisted of was shallow combat, pointless mini-games, money that was too easy to get, no great gear upgrades(no armor), and boring characters.

i disagree and i enjoyed morrowind. the guild quests were fantastic IMO, especially the dark brotherhood and the gameplay felt great.

to each his own i guess...

The combat was the only improvement I thought.

Everything else was castrated. The story was short and dull, the characters were mostly boring and lifeless, the world was a copy/paste job where almost everything looked the same, dungeons were just there with no real reason to explore them(about 1% chance any good loot would be in them), etc.

Mods made things somewhat better and it had a couple quests that were interesting, like the who done it quest. But for the most part, it was very meh. Like Fable 2 actually.

The ONLY reason the Fable series receives such praise is because it's an Xbox exclusive. I feel sorry for you Xbot fanboys because you actually need to resort to defending this tripe because it's one of the only exclusives you still have that's worth talking about, in my opinion.The_Shady_One
OR, maybe the reason it gets such praise is because it's more than a half decent game?

Even though Fable 3 is looking great and even has a much better online coop. Because of the fact that it has vary little traditional rpg style and no skill trees and no health bar. Fable 3 is going to get beat like a red headed step child by all the haters of traditional rpg's

Well, we are on SW and all people like to do on SW is find reasons to troll and flame so of course it will get bashed. Tons of people who have never played the game or a Fable will bash it and act like they did. They'll make up stuff about the game to get on people's nerves. SW is no better than a thread on /v/ sometimes.

Laughable that you actually believe that. Talk to me after you've played more than 5 non-generic RPGs. Fable is mediocre at best. It's a "My First RPG" designed for players who have know nothing about RPGs.

I like the Fable games and never considered the series a RPG series in the first place.

You're the kind of idiot that Fable caters for. Just because somebody disagrees with your opinion doesn't instantly define them as a troll. Newsflash buddy, Fable isn't the master-piece that Molyneux or Microsoft would have you believe.

You're a level 1 with 11 posts. You're running around calling people idiots for not agreeing with you and acting like an ahole. Yet your surprised people are calling you a troll? Has it ever dawned on you people enjoy Fable for other reasons than thinking its a deep rpg? Naw man games have to be uber deep and complex to be good don't they?

Sure Fable isn't an RPG and never has been, but it creates a charming environment that is a nice break from the standard formula.

The mistake most people make is walking into it thinking it's an RPG, and it's not. The depth comes from a lot of the little things that games usually won't allow you to do, and it really does let you shape your character in a lot of ways.

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]People don't like change. Personally I feel this series looks sooo dull. Zero personality. As boring as its title.

If anything personality and charm is what Fable HAS going for it. I can't even fathom how someone can say it has zero personality.

Farting and doing the jig doesn't make for much personality. :P
