Review: Fable 3

[Smooth Operator]

Well I'm certainly in no hurry after they hit me in the face with the boredom of Fable 2.

It seems more or less the old formula, except that odd gauntlet - spell thing, why can't they just stick with a formula that works...
And the houses, clothes and people relations... I couldn't care less, if I wanted to play the Sims then I would just do that, here's hoping these are not essential to the game progression.

got this one on reserve and can't wait to pick it up, I love me some Fable

Fable 2 was pretty addictive. May borrow this one just to continue the adventure.

I have been waiting for that one game that's worth buying a 360 for. I have passed up several that I want to play and a few that I really want to play, but I *must* play Fable 3.

Unless your name is what?

I really wish this would come out for the PS3.

I'm considering getting this just because it has so many awesome voice actors in it.

John Clease, Simon Pegg, Ben Kingsly and Stephen Fry?

I might faint ^-^

Is it just me or does it look like they brought back the mana-less spell casting...? God, I hated that system before, I don't think my opinion will change... Though spell weaving looks pretty dang cool

 

[Digital_Hero]

Really loved the hitchhikers guide reference with the gauntlets haha

yeah, looking forward to the game, though im flat broke from new vegas ]:

 

[Dr.Susse]

I've always wanted to play the Fable series. *Dam my rampant Sony fanboyism*
Someone enjoy it for me please.

[small]Nice hitchhikers reference by the by![/small]

Really, they decided to bring back Fable 1's "Giant area of destruction" spell that you ca upgrade until you don't need anything else in the game.

I'm waiting it patiently to pc.

By the way, any owner can tell me if you can still bulk your hero?

Or how morphing your weapon works?

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Anyone know if decisions from Fable 2 effect Fable 3? It's just that I lost some of my save data and I can't be arsed to play through Fable 2 again.

 

[Bigsmith]

Is this coming out on Pc? Will i get this game?

The answers are the same for both questions... sadly.

EDIT: after doing some reaserch I have found out that it is, just microsoft have no realse date for it.

Would love for this to come out on PC. Some of us liked the Fable 1 port.

 

[Justin1221]

I kinda wish I could play this. Unfortunately, I'm not 17 yet and I don't own an Xbox360.

 

[DeepComet5581]

I WANT IT NAO!!!

Why did I buy the PC version?

Oh yeah, because I don't have an Xbox...

EDIT: Oh and Susan, you spelled Balverine wrong.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Yay. Two awesome buy buggy games to play at once.

Review: Fable 3

Susan Arendt just might kick Peter Molyneux in the shins the next time she sees him.

Hah! Considering it's Susan... if the Escapist interviews Molyneux in the near future, I want it on video.

 

[Kinokohatake]

I feel like the only person that hated Fable 2. The whole game felt like a thinly veiled fetch quest. For a game that allows such customization of character, you had to follow the rigid confusing story the way they wanted you to.

 

[UnravThreads]

Did Fable 2 ever come out for the PC? I enjoyed Fable: TLC, but was never able to find Fable 2. I see Fable 3 is up for pre-order on Amazon, so hopefully we'll see it eventually.

Nope, it never surfaced, just like a lot of MGS titles - GoW2(+3), Halo 3(+ODST & Reach), the sequels to Viva Pinata and a couple of others.

That's probably the most positive review I've seen of Fable 3. Like a lot of others here, I'm waiting for the PC version to surface. After D.Toid and Kotaku's reviews, I'm more enthusiastic, but I can't say I'm as enthusiastic as I was pre-reviews.

WOW, way to post a review at the closing bell...

Or is this the lifting of the press blackout? It's 12 am where you guys are isn't it?

We schedule most content that gets posted at exact times in advance, so we don't actually have to be awake to press the button. I'm pretty sure the embargo on reviews was lifted at midnight.
