Fable Reviews

After 4 years of following this game, I can honestly say that I am a little disappointed, but not as much as others will be. I realized quite a while ago (about a year ago really) that Fable would not be what it originally set out to be. It still got great scores, just not "greatest of all time" scores. I will enjoy this game SOOOO much though, but for what it is and not for what it could have been. A lot of the reviews are judged on what it was supposed to be so I'm mad at that. Fable still changes the RPG genre, which I love, so it's all good.

Oh, and PM, Gradius, Sam, Dene, and Simon can all go to hell. One thing I thought would never change would be the story, but thanks for lying and keeping the facts from me and the rest of the Fable community......****ers.

I'm just mad really

This is about what I expected. You have to realize this is what Peter Molyneux does, he takes ambitious goals that can't logically be reached and does his best. It's a lot more brave than making rehashes and sequels.

EDIT: Yes! They included the Sandgoose!

Well, I'll just have to wait for Fable 2 then

I'm jealous of everyone who never knew about Fable until about a month ago. They have nothing to compare the final product to which will easily let them enjoy Fable sooo much more than me. I hope you guy's love this game, I know I still will.

*points to Sandgoose Tattoo on ass check*

We're numba one!

This is about what I thought Fable would get, too. The story has always been the contentious element of this game and honestly Molyneaux (sp?) games almost have NO story besides the one that you create. I actually find this liberating, but I can see how others who love great stories in their RPGs woulkd find this a serious drawback.

For a sequel I would like to see a bigger game with the same features. Mke a more free roaming world (smaller than morrowind but bigger than KOTOR) with more quests.

But in the end I think the draw of this game will be your character reacting with the living world. I plan on experimenting endlessly with the economic system and good and evil. Just think about the possibilities... Good Mage, Evil Mage, Neutral Mage, Good Warrior, Bad Warrior, Neutral Warrior, Good Thief, Bad Thief Neutral Thief... get married, be failthful, be unfaithful, kill her, get a new one, cheat on here with her sister, kill her... you get my point

Well its under a half a month left before I lose myself to this game as an axe weilding evil bastard (and then a sick ass mage), but I've waited so long a few more days won't bother me much.

Those are going to be some of the better scores.

I still think while the game doesnt look as gorgeous as previously anticapated and described, it's probably gonna make up for that with the gameplay and wideness of it all.

The Intro Movie of fable is titled Gameplay Footage 3 and is on the bottom of the page. It got me all excited and such.

Morrowind really wasn't that large... it was just that you were so rediciously slow.

...... ok gotta admit, it was large. Lots of things to do....
OK I take back what I said about it not being that large.

Quite a let down, i hope GTA: San Andreas doesn't do the same thing, because its impossible not to relate the two hypes.

DarkMaster · 08-27-2004, 09:06 PM

haha, 9.3, yeah, what a sh*tty score.

Like I said before, Wind Waker all over again. Can't wait to have a good laugh over at the IGN boards.

GiMpY-wAnNaBe · 08-28-2004, 11:31 AM

Its not that its a bad game Darkmaster, its just that a lot of the features that got people really excited aren't in it anymore. Too much Hype was created over it, and in consequence when the hype was not all completely true, people get pissed. But even without all the features that were taken out its still an excellent game.

so anyways, is it on storeshelves yet?

Nono, The Wind Waker had ANTI-hype.... and it turned out to be not that bad.
