Fable: The Journey Review

[Rob Jacobs]

...I expected this to suck literal ass in every way possible, knowing that it actually has a decent story and characters that the actual game play ruins makes it actually sting.

C'mon Peter, you know we love you, but just STOP dumbing down Fable with each new iteration! II was the strongest in the franchise thus far, you should be building off of that one's mechanics, not continuously removing more and more bits of them as time goes by. The "casual" crowd that you're trying to appeal to just isn't going to be interested in a proper RPG ever, so just STOP trying to reel them in and make the ones you've already caught happy before us few you have left just opt to jump ship once and for all!

Molnyeux no longer works at Lionhead, and he left far before the release of this game.

Also, Fable The Lost Chapters is arguably the best in the series.

"Horse-Butt; The Game".

Who is this meant to appeal to? 0_o. Just listening to "Clop-Clop-Clop" and staring at a horses ass. Who thought this was a good idea? Who actually sat there and said "I know how to add to the Fable franchise. A horses ass!" I can see a certain segment of a certain community maybe being into that but it's very niche appeal (and i mean she's not even purple).

Fans of desert bus, who thought the bus moved a little too fast.

It's funny. Other sites review this game saying it's fun and awesome, but everything I saw of the game was just like Susan said. It's pretty window dressing, but looks like the game play is shit. One reviewer actually said the carriage riding was fun. How?!

Are these the same sites that give all games positive reviews? Do they fire employees that give honest reviews because they would hurt advertisements?

I really liked Fable, but after purchasing what was obviously a beta release of Fable 2, I completely lost interest and didn't even register Fable 3 as a thing.

Nothing else really matters if the game itself is such an unpleasant experience. Nothing about this game looks remotely enjoyable.

Pay $60 to look at a horses butt for hours on end? Who thought that this would be a great ingame feature!?
