Fable 3 Coming to Steam
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Yeah,your time has passed Lionhead.Had you informed PC gamers of the game's status when it was delayed,I could have understood.But not saying a thing for months and popping out and saying:here's a game,and it has nothing more to offer then couple tattoos and a few weapons,you blew it.
As it's been said many times before,I'll cater to my RPG needs with The Witcher 2.

What's everyone's problem with Games For Windows Live anyways? Other than not possessing the most replete library.
Hehe, know whats funny? It comes out the same time as Witcher 2. Well, I find it funny.
Of course, when 2 came out 1 all of a sudden became a "misunderstood classic" or something like that. While 2 became a piece of ass, despite improving on so many things. And now that Fable 3 is out, I see 2 getting a lot less hate.
So I wouldn't take what people say about the Fable games as buying advice.

If you thought the hate for Fable 3 was bad, you should have seen the hate for 2. And for 1.Cowabungaa said:

Yes, Microsoft admitting defeat in the marketplace is like the Republican Party unaminuosly voting for a Democrat bill.Andy Chalk said:
Though, it could be more Lionhead's decision making than Microsoft's. I would give literally something for a recording of those negotiations.
Its about as user friendly as a brick. Just like a brick, you stick it somewhere then it innately resists all attempts to do anything else with it.Ghengis John said:
Besides its more a case of Steam and other DDP's being better, much better.
This is April in 2011, right? I havn't gotten some sort of reverse concussion and it's actually halfway through 2010?
Nope, computer agrees with me. This sort of shit is why I keep my old Xbox 360 around, reviving it with mouth-to-mouth and jump-leads every now and again.

Its also frustrating and difficult to use to the point of being broken. I was forced into using it because they left the GFWL DRM in the steam version of BioShock 2, and nothing about the experience made me want to come back. In fact, it was so bad that if I see GFWL on a box somewhere or in the system's requirements now, I just keep walking. The sheer frustration just isn't worthwhile, no matter how good the game itself might be.Ghengis John said:
Heh, what a dick move, who needs the lost chapters anyway? According to Yahtzee, fable 2 was the same as fable one, then again fable 3 was the same as fable 2? I was kinda waitig for it, but, seeing as it's full price, stuffed with useless crap, just let it pass...
I'd almost say that it was worth buying Fable 3 on GFWL simply so players could get the original Fable for free, since it is the far superior game... but you might as well just buy a copy of Fable: TLC and be done with it.
I think I would have had more respect for Lionhead if Fable had remained a one off gem and not a forgotten classic burdened with all the baggage of it's terrible sequels.

You could argue that all the Fable games are essentially the same game, so little changes. But Fable 2 can't be compared to the original Fable imo. Somehow, despite being pretty much the same game, Fable 2 and 3 managed to suck all the charm, and more importantly the fun, out of the Fable formula. I can play Fable endlessly but still can't stand Fable 2... as for Fable 3, well I barely finished it.sushkis2 said:
This is interesting with what MS is doing. I liked fable 3 a lot, actually my favorite in the series. Never beat one hated 2 and liked 3.
I agree, I also say that I would rather have the throwaway crap if it means using a Digital Distribution system made my the more evolved form of primate.somonels said:
To be honest, Fable 3 could come with Fable 1 and 2 on GFWL and come with only a port of ET from the Atari 2600, and I'll still go the Steam version, hell they could charge an extra $5 or so and I think you'd see a lot of customers go with the Steam version.
So long as when I got the Steam version I didn't find myself tangled up in GFWL anyways. It's not a piracy issue, its just an irritating attempt to consolify my gaming that I don't want and didn't ask for. I'm not knocking consoles, I have some, but it just doesn't fit in the PC world, to me.

Fable:Lost chapters for free with Fable 3, so people will know what led to the demise of this ongoing series.
