Fable "flopped"... But I never believed the hype!

Fable is making XBox fans cream themselves. If by cream I mean cry tears of joy and sweat bullets at the same time. By now, you may have heard that the game is EXTREMELY short, being beaten in 9 hours by a reviewer who, by his own merits, is not an expert gamer and did kind-of rush through. But still, 9 hours! That's Devil May Cry, not an RPG! That's an action game, not the "greatest RPG ever!" So you'll reply, "well he rushed through like people rush Mario and Metroid and post the vid clip online to show off."

No!

The difference here is that those nerds know the game so well that they know what to get, what to skip, and how to speed through the game they've been playing for years! This is a first time player jumping through a new experience faster than it took me to beat Resident Evil I, II, and III the first time through COMBINED!

This is why I don't trust games by creator Peter Molyneux: he's all concept and can't execute! Don't agree? Is Black & White still in your rotation, or did you chuck it after an hour like I did? You saw that you could go from world view to single person in a second, did it a couple times, then saw the game was boring and quit. I bet Fable is the same way: all the freedom you get with your character adds absolutely zero substance to what is: basically, an under average hack and slash adventure game! Molyneux should just write books, where he can be as long-winded as he wants to, and leave the games to Miyamoto, Kojima, and Carmack!
