I'll probably rent it tomorrow. If it's good enough, I'll keep the copy and just buy it.

StanLee4961d ago

This is probably one of the better and most concise review of this game. If you enjoyed Fable II you'll feel right at home. If you were never a fan of Fable this wont sway you.

Cold 20004961d ago

I wonder who disagreed with you chuk...hmmm...

Chuk54961d ago

Probably when I wasn't looking, my post got stormed by sony shinobi.

Hades13374961d ago

Glad they sorted out the coop mode for this one, definitely a reason to buy.

Spydiggity4961d ago

that's good news. but the fact that this game is basically a slightly improved redo of fable 2, adds nothing new, and is way too easy and short gives me several more reasons to rent (if that).

T9X694961d ago

Funny you say those things and haven't even played the game. Fable 3 is different from Fable 2 in every way, they completely changed it, besides the combat system, which even that has some slight changes. The game isn't short unless you intently rush through it, I'm 12 hours in and haven't even became King yet. You probably don't even have a 360 which is why you have no reason to rent it.

My brother pre-ordered it.

Which sucks, because now I'll have to wait like a week before I can play it.

Legacy_Killa4961d ago

The game was as easy as hell i can't belive how easy it was, i never died. By far Fable lost chapters is alot harder then this one, but it was still a good game over all i would give it a 8 out of 10.

kornbeaner4961d ago

While at this point the story may be predictable to many, how about not fucking up the end game choices. At least add a spoiler alert to your review. Fuck GT.

On topic can't wait to get my videocard because Im getting this for PC. As long as there isnt any stupid DRM on the disc.

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.

Crows90339d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson339d ago

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

GaboonViper339d ago

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

got_dam339d 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.

cthulhucultist339d 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.

Demetrius338d 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

ColdSin1416d ago (Edited 1416d 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.

Zoned1416d ago

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

moongrim1416d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears1416d ago

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

moongrim1416d ago

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

Zoned1416d 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

RaidenBlack1415d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack1415d ago (Edited 1415d 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.

Zoned1415d ago

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

RaidenBlack1415d 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.

porkChop1415d 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.

sushimama1416d 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.

Zoned1416d ago

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

RgR1415d 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.

RgR1415d ago

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

chiefJohn1171415d ago (Edited 1415d 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.

Platformgamer1685d ago (Edited 1685d ago )

sunset overdrive 2... oh wait

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