Default Re: Everything Fable

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to point out a curious revelation in the Interview with IGN Reviewer that Acebot44 found at Alter-Ego.com. I'll quote it for you:

Quote:
1. Alter Ego: Did you feel like the hours you spent with Fable gave you an accurate view of what Fable was and how it played?

Ben Talbot: Over the course of two days, I must have played the game for around 20 hours. That's considerably longer than it takes me to complete a lot of games I review. During that time, I made it over halfway through the main quest, but I spent just as much time just running about doing stupid stuff and trying things out[/b]
That lends an interesting perspective on the gameplay-length issue that seems to be the hot-button of the reviews. The reviewer never even finished the game but still put a time length on it that was not a reflection of his experience, just what he thought it would take if you went whole hog on the linear questing.

I think the estimate of 40-50 hours may be a more realistic estimate of game length when you take into account how people will play the game (at least how I know I will play it)

NOTE: Added Fable-dedicated sites to the main index
