Just Kidding, but M$ does own that IP. With them closing down so many studios, this is surprising, but good.The FPS's are good because they sell well on 360 AND PC.

oh? I know the first one didn't feel like one, but the 2nd one looks more like a rpg. Especially since thats what it has been touted as since Fable 1.

From what I've read and seen, it's going to be an AMAZING Adventure games with RPG elements...Maybe that's changed, either way, I'm there day one. I already have some money saved up.

Actually, I was.lol. Good call.

It's an Action game, with RPG Elements. It's more ZELDA than KOTOR/FF.

It's an Adventure game. It's not an RPG.

Even in your own link it says ACTION First, then RPG...that's what they called the FIRST FABLE at GS. ACTION RPG.

If you had a deep history with RPG's and played FABLE 1, then you know it's not an RPG. It's not.

I was questioning your competence not your ownership. But alright, still doesn't prove you own it. Might need to take another picture with SSCyborg written on a piece of paper.

Mass Effect yes. The Witcher. God no. But Mass Effect has more traditional Roleplaying Elements than Fable does.

There is no doubt about it, that LINE that seperates Genre's is getting Blurry. I haven't played Witcher, I still need to do that, but Mass Effect is an RPG. I know once I play it.

ME is an RPG with heavy Action components...gee, I loled as I type this.

Fable is an Action game with RPG elements.

Too crazy.

You can pick and choose. They have varying degrees of Roleplaying-ness. No need to be childish.

Lionhead apologizes that Fable doesn't fit into your narrow minded view of what an rpg is, they are deeply sorry for such an atrocity.
