I added it as a supplementary fact... JEEZ and fine that doesn't change the fact a rushed spin off of Fable II scored better than a main series Zelda

Banjo_Kongfooie

Doesn't change the fact that Zelda is still a much higher regarded series in comparison when you look at as a whole instead of individually like you seem to be doing.

considering the downward spiral of Zelda games

Downward spiral? You can say this after one disappointing game?

Well I guess when you consider GS scores it would seem a little downward. When you look at the actual games though, you have the love it or hate it game MM. You have WW, which actually isn't downward at all. It is AAA and won GOTY. Then you have TP which was the one disappointment.

BTW, Fable scored 8.5 and 8.6.

This is true also. Just because the rest aren't 10s doesn't mean the non 10s games aren't great.

neither look that appealing to me, Peter Molyneux always promised more out of his Fable games than he could deliver, and Nintendo relies too much on gamer nostalgia than to let the Zelda franchise evolve more... but I'll probably play them both at some point

I loved the ending part of Majora's mask but the temples were insane lol, it got a 9.9 on IGN... I never played OoT or WW but the review scores here show inconsistency in the game scores while Fable is consistently great and that is the point I am making

Zelda's scores are also consistently great. At a higher degree, in fact. :?

Well I feel like Fable is held to higher standards. I mean Xbox and 360> GC/Wii in power. That is like saying a Ipod Touch game is as good as a Ds game I feel.


There is no denying that if TP was released on the 360 it would score lower because the Wii is less powerful.

According to GS's review guidelines, when talking about high scores, general standards apply.

Besides, power (as I mentioned in one of my first posts) does not necessarily make a better game. Interesting that you mention the iPod Touch, which technically speaking is more powerful than the DS. The difference of standards comes from the restrictive touch-screen-only controls.

If you want to talk about personal feelings, my personal feeling is that the Zelda series destroys the Fable series.

Try looking at a collection of reviews like on game rankings. and then look at the difference between Zelda and Fable

I'd rather have Zelda by a long way, but God the new Zelda is ugly. It looks much much worse then WW and TP.

Fable III. I like Zelda, but Skyward Sword looks as bad as every other Zelda game released after Wind Waker.

Few games to me can even be at Zelda level. Fable is not one of them. HarlockJC

No.... Zelda is just better. In every conceivable way other then graphics.

that might be convincing if your biggest evidence wasn't the 8.3 for Majora's Mask. MM is considered one of the masterpieces of gaming, it achieved much more than any Fable game could hope to achieve, and the only reason it didn't score high is because it wasn't very accessible to casual gamers.

I've been playing Darksiders lately. That game is a lot of fun. Not quite as charming or epic as Twilight Princess, but it does capture a lot of what I like about Zelda's gameplay and overall it's a solid title. It makes me wonder what a Zelda game could be like if Nintendo would up the ante for their production values to modern standards (although please do not try to twist that into me somehow claiming that I want Zelda to be M rated and have Gears of War looking character designs, because that is not what I am getting at).

Way more hyped for Zelda, even the worst of the series has been better than the Fable series. I enjoy Fable but it is just so over hyped its almost hard to enjoy it as much as I feel I should.

Gotta go with Fable 3 here. In fact if it were 360 exclusive I'd consider fixing mine or getting a new one, but I can thankfully get it on PC.

I hope Zelda turns out to be better than TP but I'm not holding out much hope, I've given up on the Wii...

No, that's reasonable. I think even the most devout Wii lover would kill to see a HD Zelda with a Hyrule Castle Town the size of an Assassin's Creed city... That's my dream anyway...

And what a sweet dream it is. Some of mine include a fully orchestrated soundtrack, big battles scenes involving hundreds of moblins and soldiers (which could actually tie in nicely with a crowd engine for in-game towns) and Zelda being voice acted by Jennifer Hale. Who knows what the future may bring, but given how much money Nintendo has printed with the Wii, and how technologically sophisticated the 3DS is, I'd be quite surprised if their next system doesn't deliver a truly spectacular Zelda game.

I didn't enjoy Fable 2 anywhere near as much as I enjoyed Fable 1, where as Twilight Princess was a worthy entry in one of the best gaming series of all time.

I'm definitely looking forward to Skyward Sword more than Fable 3.

Ugh I guess your right but come on Zelda had a head start over Fable and it isn't that much better.

Also Fable atleast isn't stuck in eternal nostalgia
