I suggest you stop having good ideas for Fable now. Only Peter Molyneux knows what's good for Fable, and that is farting in peoples faces and easy combat.Netrigan said:

I thought yahtzee would destroy it, but I was suprised when he gave it some (even though small) congrats.
I like Fable III, bigest let down of the year but I don't despise it

Wow, I never thought I would see the day where Yahtzee would review Fable 3. I guess even he gives into fanboy nagging and spam mail.
Ugh the same exact thing happened to me, I had a brilliant plan all laid out, I was all set to hit my cash target well within 150 days, but nooo, the game skips 5 months or whatever. Crazy. Didn't make sense.
It's like Lionhead just ran out of time and thought "oh well we won't make the last 150 days".

Because it's not COMPLETELY messed up, it's simply not the usual way to do things. Quite frankly if you ask 1,000 people who an hour or so ago beat the entire game of Fable (gnomes and all so they really had to experience the menu system) about 200 will say "Hey I liked the menu" about 500 will say it's the worst thing since Aliens Vs. Predators was ok'd as a PG-13, and the other 300 will say they're indifferent. Lists are a bland pain shooting right up your ass to your ribs, and the new menu is better in ways, and worse in others.sdgilbert said:
Personally I like it, but I'm one of the few people that loved the first Fable, hated the second, and kind've liked the first.
Fable III was more disappointing that turning the light on and realising you've been having sex with your own mum. Badly.
Staying in bed and waiting for rent works ... Until the buildings become 0% condition. 
I agree with the rest though yahtzee though I personally just buy a pub at the beginning and then all the shops then let the cash pile up whilst I do the story. Everyone lived and I was all good too.
Though I'll confess when I saw the review this week was Fable 3 I thought it was some sort of trick.

I did the same thing (rent everything then get bullshitted by the 121 day skip)
Now I feel less dumb

One of the times that I'm glad I got my ps3 when I did, or I'd have to cling to all the crappy exclusives that the xbox was pushing, fable and halo are definitely not at the top of my game of the year list. I was jealous of mass effect for a while but bioware have fixed that for me too . PS3 ftw
. PS3 ftw
I never got into Fable in the first place, and honestly i dont think i ever will. Instead i will just get Diablo III when that eventually comes out. Im more of a hack n slah kind of guy.
I agree with the whole end-game decision thingamajig (<- holy fuck, the spell checker is excusing that?!). The whole thing would have a lot more weight if a) it wasn't Reaver defending against almost everything, and b) the big choices weren't clearly labeled as good vs evil.
That's the problem with most moral choices systems today, and even the mighty ME series greatly suffers from this: there're not enough shades of gray to make the choices really mean something; everything either boils down to - in Yahtzee's own words - becoming Mother Theresa or baby-eating. I mean, come on - you either become a benevolent angel or a tyrannical demon. What the fuck? o__O

Ugh, I actually liked the first one and the second one didn't seem that bad (other than needing to ignore random shit the game touts as "freedom"), but this seems off-the-walls bonkers. Unless Yahtzee was over-simplifying, that sounds like a Lionhead way of doing things that disappoints on the basis that the game could've been so much better.
