I bought this game last night and let me tell you it's horrible IMO. There is screen tearing really bad and the graphics are just awful, I thought they would of made a better effort for improvement by the 3rd game. Also what's up with the blur affects, it's really annoying. It's like they're hideingsomething. I don't know, but I'm gonna finish the game just to see how it ends and then get rid of it. I should of knew better then to buy this game, but oh well. What do you guys think?

Given how little Microsoft has shown prior to its release, I figured something must have been up. I'm sure it's not as bad as you make it sound, but I'm also sure it's not great.

I doubt you own the game.

Nor do I care for your opinion.

I'm sure it sucks though.

I don't care if you doubt anything, the fact is I do own it and it sucks. XBL= FW WillKills M Look it up yourself.

Fable 1 and 2 we're both decent games but not the best games I have ever played. I have a feeling that Fable 3 will be the same. Good but not spectacular

I enjoyed the first two Fable games but while they had interesting ideas they never really had a chance to take those ideas to their full potential, and the games almost felt dumbed down as a result (particularly with regard to their narrative). I don't expect anything different from the third. Although the second was a lot better than the first, so maybe they've managed to continute that trend of improvement.

I have it, but I am not going to be able to play it until this afternoon. I doubt I will be disappointed, though. I watched a few hours of a stream the other day and could tell that I would have fun with it. Can't please everyone, I guess.

Fable 1 was a very good game, one of my favorites from the original Xbox. Fable 2 was very disappointing. Short, too much on emotions and NPC interaction than on story or gameplay. If Fable 3 is more like the first and less like 2, then I'll be very happy.

I'm dissatisfied with it. First off, they kept the exact same music as Fable 2. Second of all, the artistic style looks bland, they went for more realistic (like dragon age) rather than the exagerated art style of fable 2 which i much prefered. The blur on everyhting is terrible, and after playing about 2 hours of the game, i'm not hooked or even impressed. Whats worse is that the emotions and stuff you perform, theres no skill to it. In fable 2 you had to press the button and let go at the right time, if you held it too long, you mucked it up. In fable three, you just press a button and hold it until it says release, no messing it up and actually quite a waste of time. They tried to follow the likes of Heavy Rain with the possible button presses floating around the NPC heads, but the text is really small and not easy to read when its moving. The quick travel takes out most of the adventure from the game and ive already seen some glitches with both the dog (getting stuck in a tree) and the yellow sparkle path that leads you to your objective (where it always pointed behind my character no matter what direction i was facing). I liked Fable 2, but im disappointed in fable 3.... so far. I will give it a chance to see if it improves, but as of now, im finding it boring.

If fast travel is ruining the exploration process, don't use it.

Its the best of the 3, easily.

As for satisfying... its fun, but yet again the hype train and comparison to other high quality titles brings it down. So I guess you could say it is dissatisfying, like a delicious ice cream meal that is smaller and less creamy then you would like, but still a great ice cream treat.

Of course I haven't played much of it so my opinion is only more credible than about half of the people coming into this thread I guess.

I'm about 7 hours in and I'm enjoying every bit of it. I will agree with bluriness and some screen tearing, but I'm not a shallow graphics whore and I never expected this game to be a graphic powerhouse. This game like the others isn't for everyone. My only real problem with the second Fable was the sorry boss fight at the end and the slow moving gui for your items etc. I think there are a lot of improvements, I love that instead of a normal list of items, spells, quests etc, they just have you hit start (or select?) and you end up in the guild and you can change your outfits etc, then you can reenter the town where you were by again pushing start. I also love that you can take care of your houses from the quick travel map instead of actually going to each house individually. Plus your butler is John Cleese, which makes me wonder if this game is like Monty Python, you either get it or you don't.

Nope. If you don't like it return it or resell it. Sounds like all your complaints about graphics, did you actually play the game?

That's all you have to complain about? Graphics?
