I haven't purchased my copy of Fable 3 yet, but is it really only worth a 7.5? I know Gamespot can be critical of some titles, but I wanted to hear it from most of the gamers up here who already played their copy.
Fable 3 gets 7.5 from Gamespot?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
For me Fable 3 can best be described like this.
Did you play saints row 2? You knew the game wasnt near perfect, but it was a $%@#load of fun anyways.
Fable 3 is the same. Its not perfect by any means, but its just alot of fun. Its worth more than a 7.5, its definitely more of a 8-8.5. Love the game, having alot of fun with it.
It has a lot of little glitches, it's pretty easy, relatively simply combat, and simple leveling system, and the Good and Evil path don't seem to really affect me (I'm still early in the game) as of yet but it's a ridiculous loads of fun.

The good and evil paths really kick in when you become king. As for the combat i quite enjoy it, spell-weaving is a great addition. My tornado ice-storms kill all!But it is pretty easy thought. Although i havent come across many glitches. We should play co-op and go on a mass killing spree :P

So far it sounds like it's loads of fun, which that it all that matters to me.This game is awesome if you played Fable 2 and were disappointed this one makes up for it . I honestly found Gamespots review alittle harsh and Misleading to be quite honest . This game has amazing art , humor is awesome , the world is way better to explore , i thought all the side quest so far have been very very entertaining . but if you like fable like me you will buy this game .
i dont have the game yet but from what ive seen gamespot is doing the game a disjusticeI haven't purchased my copy of Fable 3 yet, but is it really only worth a 7.5? I know Gamespot can be critical of some titles, but I wanted to hear it from most of the gamers up here who already played their copy.

At least I died a couple of times in Fable. I completed Fable 2 without dying. All you have to is spam the environmental fire spell. Everything else was pretty much useless. Despite that, I loved the game. As for Fable 3, I got my copy today and I'm loving it so far. Basically if you like Fable 2, you'll love this one.Didn't Fable & Fable II have the same problem of being too easy?

I didn't like Fable 2 but Fable 3 looked more promising at least. Hmmm. I'll still give it a try.Didn't Fable & Fable II have the same problem of being too easy?

Yeah, I didn't agree with they're score on Fable 3 (or New Vegas for that matter)
On a slightly related note...How hard would it be to put a hard difficulty level? I mean all they have to do is double the prices of everything, and double the enemies HP. That's all I'm asking X/
I will 1000% agree with that one, it puzzles me too, it would be so simple and would save the game all that bashingYeah, I didn't agree with they're score on Fable 3 (or New Vegas for that matter)

I have to say that i cannot believe that gamespot have only given it a 7.5, in my books its a 10! I have only been playing it for a little while but so far so good, and gamespot said it was too easy, it may be quite easy for some but i know tha there are some bits that are there to try you, espesh when there are loads of bandits coming at you at once!
[QUOTE="AbleFa3"][QUOTE="nottu"] They're real reviews cuz no one knows who they are? or because they like you think a repetitive, easy game is amazing? Fable 2 was even worse, ME1 had some of the worst combat in a 3rd person shooter I'd ever played, and Lost Odyssey was extremely repetitive. Although I would agree if you said that GS gives some games too high of a score, but no this game doesn't deserve more then an 8. nottuAs you said yourself, all is an opinion, i would not give Fable 3 less than 10/10 myself, since it is the best game i have played so far Try Jade Empire it's for the original xbox and its also on XBL. It's easily the best RPG ever. The combat is always fresh, it's hard but not F(*& hard. The story cannot be surpassed.
Opinion and perspective, my good sir. One man's trash is another man's treasure. If it's a ten for him, let him be.
I find that most reviewes of games are a bit low, me and the hubby both enjoyed Arcania Gothic 4 which also had a low review.
On Fable, I feel its a bit of a 'girly' game, I enjoyed Fable 2 and clocked it 3 times, where as my husband started a new game and never finished.I definitely am getting Fable 3!
That is totally wrong, out of 84 reviews, only 11 are below 8/10 and 35 are 9/10 and above, meaning that good reviews are vastly more than mediocre ones That is a fact, look here http://n4g.com/tag/home/fable-3_xbox-360 Gamespot in the tiny minority that did not like the gameI find that most reviewes of games are a bit low, me and the hubby both enjoyed Arcania Gothic 4 which also had a low review.

I'm not trying to start something but this is the same reviewers and site that gave Demon's Souls GOTY over Uncharted 2 last year. The only place that did it as far as I know.
If your not sure about a game rent it and try it out don't base your game purchases on someone's OPINION. To me Fable 3 should have easily got a 9, but then that's just me.
Fable 1 could actually be somewhat challenging if you didn't bother leveling up.Didn't Fable & Fable II have the same problem of being too easy?

Hey I don't think it's worth anything close to that either but I'm not going to berate him for it... Of course we all have our opinions, what Fable 3 offers is my thing, from the art, to the simulation, the unique quests, great story, adventure and strategy elements, the overworld map etc I cant think of any game doing so much stuff i like at once, so i will definatly give it a 10/10 since it is my best game so far over any other As for beeing the only one on the planet that would give it a perfect or great score Loot Ninja10/10Hardcore Gamer10/10ElectricPig10/10TheSixthAxis10/10SFX-3609.8/10Cheats Unlimited9.6/10XXLGaming9.6/10Real Gamer9.5/10BeefJack9.5/10im -as a crazy rpg fan- really loved the game and its improvements from Fable 2 but others may not like it,im not sure coz i even liked fable 2 too but everyone one the web talk about it like a piece of S***
I'm sorry but that sentence always make me mad. "Don't base it on someone's OPINION." If someone makes a job at reviewing games, they should tell the pro's and con's, if they didn't like, doesn't mean bash it. If I need a check-up and the Doctor tells me he doesn't like X brand of medicine, but Y brand, I will listen to him because this is his expertise.I'm not trying to start something but this is the same reviewers and site that gave Demon's Souls GOTY over Uncharted 2 last year.

On topic: I am looking forward to picking this game up sometime over the weekend.
Actually Fable 2 got much praise by reviewers, it is just that like Fable 3 were totally devided, bcause the game is not for everyone For me Fable 3 is the best thing that happened to gamingim -as a crazy rpg fan- really loved the game and its improvements from Fable 2 but others may not like it,im not sure coz i even liked fable 2 too but everyone one the web talk about it like a piece of S***

I would NOT give it a perfect score and I am one of the biggest fable lovers around. I LOVE IT dont get me wrong, and i would give it an 8.5-9. 7.5 is complete BULL. one of the worst reviews i've ever seen. Fable 3 is an improvement over fable 2 in many ways, but i agree in the sense that it's over simplified a bit. The fact i can't go up to whoever i want and do any expression really kills alot of the interaction that i loved in fable 2. I DONT WANNA DANCE WITH EVERY GUY IN ALBION WTF. the combat is also a tad over simplified in the sense (now it may be unlocked in the future, correct me if i'm wrong) that you can't sub target. I miss head, arm, leg, groin shots.
i love most of the other changes in the game, and i figure they will fix some of the bugs (bread crumb trail SUCKS right now)

Just link the Metacritic... No need to copy and past it and have this huge post.
I dont use Metacritic, it has only 1/10 of actual reviews and some laughable sites in there, i prefer the full review list myself, the only real way to see what all reviewers think http://n4g.com/tag/reviews/fable-3_xbox-360 This is the link, i just posted a few reviews, not allJust link the Metacritic...

Metacritic gives you an average of some of the more popular and reliable websites' reviews. I've never even heard of some of the sites and magazines you posted.
Actually it gives a list of some sites, 90% of which i have never heard of So why use it ? It is totally useless, when ican see all reviews and make up my mind the best way possible As for Gamespot beeing reliable, well, not to me, they scored my best games the lowest scores possible, and dont tell me that all of Fable 2-3, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Alan Wake as craps but somehow games like Uncharted 2, MGS4 and Halo are perfect, for me is the exact oppositeMetacritic gives you an average of some of the more popular and reliable websites' reviews.

Opinion and perceptive. You don't have to agree with them. It's just one review, anyway. Besides, it doesn't matter what you say, Gamespot isn't going to change their score.

I never said they would,i just post how the real world outside Gamespot is, and it is 35 reviews 9/10 and above and only 11 reviews below 8/10 and a 8.5/10 average And here is The gamespot theory 360 Grand Theft Auto IV 10.0 Gears of War 9.6 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 9.6 Halo: Reach 9.5 Red Dead Redemption 9.5 Forza Motorsport 3 9.5 The Orange Box 9.5 Halo 3 9.5 Forza Motorsport 2 9.2 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 9.2 Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 9.1 PS3 Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots 10.0 Grand Theft Auto IV 10.0 Red Dead Redemption 9.5 Uncharted 2: Among Thieves 9.5 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion 9.5 It is one RPG (lucky one) with long history and many fans and everything else is shooters/racers So, 7.5/10 would be 9.5/10 if Fable 3 was a linear shooter or had Halo name on it Gamespot is a big site, their reviews are predefined and the above list clearly shows it, has zero credibility to me, since i liked Alan Wake, Fable 2-3, Demons Souls, Mass Effect 1-2, Fallout Vegas, Lost Odyssey etc vastly better than all the above titlesThe thing is, most of those games deserve the rating they got. For the most part, if you look on those websites which you so seemingly love, you'll probably find similar scores.
So they scored Fable 3 at 7.5, who cares? They stated why they did so. They also stated that it was very fun. And last time I checked 7.5 is still a good score.
So why are you so upset by this?
Who said i am upset by Gamespot score ? Only with the people that bash Fable 3 because of that score, like all other ones dont existThe thing is, most of those games deserve the rating they got.
