G4: Fable III Review

Fable III is an enormously rich experience in which no moment is lacking; however, the collective experience, how it connects to the narrative spine, is less than the sum of its parts.

CrzyFooL4958d ago

Fable = RPG for teens!! Bring on teh disagrees!!

CrzyFooL4958d ago

It's an action / RPG with extremely light role playing elements being passed off as a role playing game.

kaveti66164958d ago

And yet, if a game is fun, I don't really care under what category it falls into.

I remember the small debates about whether Mass Effect 2 was really an RPG. Some people seemed to be trying to downplay the game by saying it wasn't as much an RPG as it was a shooter.

I didn't understand the point. A great game is a great game.

Perjoss4958d ago

"It's an action / RPG with extremely light role playing elements being passed off as a role playing game."

the same can be said for Mass Effect 2 but its still a brilliant game...

WLPowell4958d ago (Edited 4958d ago )

is an RPG for people who don't play RPGs. Even teens that play RPGs know it's weaksauce.

Perkel4958d ago

nope, i am adult and i like it or i liked other two fable :)

soundslike4958d ago

i play mario but i still know its for kids

meganick4958d ago

I disagree and I challenge you to a duel, not for your comment, but for misspelling the word "the." Have at you!

soundslike4958d ago

I was just thinking this...Once again I find myself in agreement with you CrzyFool

The_Nameless_One4958d ago

I always referred to the Fable series as RPG-Lite.

actual_gamer4958d ago

It's an RPG everyone can enjoy, like saying Mario is a game only kids can play, i swear this is the snobbiest generation of gamers ever, remember how the core element of a game is it should be FUN!

It will win Game of the year again on the G4 awards.

orange-skittle4958d ago

Lets hear you repeat that when the sales go through the roof again

gaden_malak4958d ago

Not sure how that is relevant?

Anyway, I will get this one once I finish Fable 2. Love the series, despite its shortcomings.

The_Nameless_One4958d ago

Looks like lionhead has botched the ending...again. I guess between all the MAJOR changes and the Earth shattering news Lionhead forgot to actually improve the ending. So sad.

The_Nameless_One4958d ago

Disagree all you want but it seems all the critics are singing the same song. They are not calling this game bad but saying the ending is just weak. Fable 2 had a weak ending so the logical conclusion is that they just didn't improve on that aspect henceforth they didn't listen to the critics and gamers and made the same mistake and that's what I meant when I said it was sad.

dosgrtr4958d ago

will the pc version be released this year or next?

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90335d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson335d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper335d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam335d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist335d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius334d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh

Fable: The Greatest Game Concept That Never Was

The Fable series is one of our favorite gaming franchises. Heres what we want from the rumoured sequel

ColdSin1412d ago (Edited 1412d ago )

Microsoft announced Fable Legends at Gamescom 2013, not E3 2013. I'd like for the new Fable to have the same artstyle as Fable Legends.

Zoned1412d ago

Thanks for that. I agree, definitely like the art style, but that's it. Nobody wanted Fable Legends!

moongrim1412d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears1412d ago

I would honestly buy the Xbox series S just for Fable 2 remastered or a remake.

moongrim1412d ago

I've never played it so I'm like dying over here.

Zoned1412d ago

Fable II was probably the best of the series. It had its flaws but overall was definitely a step in the right direction. Fable III was a huge misstep in comparison

RaidenBlack1412d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack1412d ago (Edited 1412d ago )

Yeah ... its an odd situation ain't it?
MS released Fable 1, Fable 3 and Fable 1 Remastred for PC.
Skipping the best one in the franchise.
Same goes for Gears: GoW, GoW Remastered, Gears 4 and Gears 5 are on PC.
And Halo: The entire Halo MCC and Halo Infinite will be on PC. But no Halo 5.

Zoned1411d ago

Definitely agree but you lost me with Halo 5. That was my least favourite Halo game (out of the Halo numbered titles)

RaidenBlack1411d ago

Yea, same here. Only liked the visuals of Halo 5 (that too on an One X, it doesn't look that good on the One S)

But what I meant was, MS is releasing every Halo game on PC from 1 to Infinite, except 5. Which is a bit odd.
Coz the free Halo 5-Forge was quite popular in PC community during its release.

porkChop1412d ago

I never got to play it because I sold my 360. It should have been remastered.

The only thing I can think of is if after the release of Fable Anniversary they decided to take the series in a different direction. They might not want the new game to be associated with the older ones.

sushimama1412d ago

Well lets hope Microsoft are going to announce a new Fable. The MS fans deserve a great Fable game. If it is announced and the gameplay looks cool, this might convince me to get, at least a Series S. It would be my very first Xbox console.

Zoned1412d ago

I would definitely buy an Xbox Series X if a 'proper' Fable sequel were to be revealed!

RgR1412d ago

You mean Fable fans.
Don't have to be an MS fan to want Fable but you definitely need to be a Fable fan to want a new Fable game.

RgR1412d ago

Kicking chickens! That was fun....hope modern society doesn't ruin it for a next installment.

chiefJohn1171412d ago (Edited 1412d ago )

Hell no Fable legends is NOT what we wanted.
Fable 2 is what we want outta Fable. Remake Fable 2 please.

This has to be one of the lamest lists I have seen for wishing for sequels.

Perfect Dark should be on the top of this list and it's amazing that MS hasn't even attempted to try and bring this amazing franchise back.

Charlie Murder, MS should pay and get Ska Studios to make a sequel to this excellent beat 'em up game. IMO, they should have been the ones to make Battletoads

Lost Odyssey, another no brainer and should be right up there with the whole Gears/Halo/Forza chant. And while we are talking about JRPGS...

Magna Carta, I loved the art style for this game. MS should definitely try and get a sequel to this for their new syste,

Bomberman Live, really one of the best in the series and I loved how it was simple and just focused on MP. Being able to customize your Bomberman was fun and I would love to see this make a return to Live.

Platformgamer1681d ago (Edited 1681d ago )

sunset overdrive 2... oh wait

EDIT: a trolling once in a while is ok, unlike most of the N4G users tho.
