GameSpot: Fable 3 Review

The outstanding artistic design and great sense of humor make it worth playing, but the other aspects have been streamlined to such a high degree that their simple pleasures have been lessened. While you shouldn't expect everything to run smoothly, it's a joy to be whisked away to Fable III's magical world.

Wasn't expecting that, but I guess everyone has their own opinion.

Anyways, I don't let reviews get to me anymore.
I rent, play, and keep the game if it's enjoyable and fun.

Fan Tastic5084d ago (Edited 5084d ago )

wow, even though gamespot is generous with 360 games that is still better than I expected. Might even be worth a rental unlike Fable II.

Hades13375083d ago

Same as Fallout New Vegas, Gamespot don't seem to be enjoying their RPGs recently do they.

NecrumSlavery5083d ago

The basically pointed out its flaws and scored it accordingly, but stressed that it is still fun and Fable fans will love it. Simliar to Fallout New Vegas, it has issues but still a good game.

When is this coming to PC BTW?

SephireX5083d ago

Difference is, New Vegas would have gotten an 8.5 if not for the technical errors and many if not most of those errors have already been fixed with the downloadable patch. Hence the 8.5 for the pc version.

ABizzel15083d ago

Gamespot has been on a 7/10 rampage these last 2 months.

And they've been really slow putting out reviews.

Oh well, I'll still pick it up on PC in the near future sometime. I've enjoyed the series. Luckily I have Fallout: NV to keep me busy until then.

Not Doing as well as I expected

basically my comment before I commented and changed it =P

ReservoirDog3165084d ago (Edited 5084d ago )

Renting costs a lot though. At least, it adds up if that's your only way of judging a game.

I look at my trusted review sites, read* the review and not just the number and overall just guess if it interests me.

You can't just throw reviews away.

JokesOnYou5084d ago

dammm, I could live with everything else but I was hoping the combat system was much improved, really loved ME2 in that respect. A bit dissapointing but I cant miss Fable since I enjoyed the first two.

JOY

visualb5083d ago (Edited 5083d ago )

especially since for me its 1up, Gameinformer, gamesTM and gamespot (eventhough less since that kane& lynch debacle) that are the TOP reviewers on my book

oh well, guess it'll be worth it anyway later down when price drops / PC ver. will be cheaper

MAJ0R5084d ago

definitely a rent worthy game

Sackdude5083d ago

Im geting it for my PC

Cheaper and better version.

perfectCarbonara5084d ago

Now what Molyneux ?

No, wait, lemme guess: "Fable 3 was crap compared to Fable 4 ?"

KILLERAPP5084d ago (Edited 5084d ago )

LOL... Molyneux should put Fable to rest for a while and make a new IP after the new IP go back and do Fable 4…

despair5084d ago

great read, very well written, compared to IGN very sparse and poor review its a welcome read. The game has its problems but it looks pretty good still, not great or half of what Molyneux promised or hyped but good none the less.

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.

Crows90461d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson462d ago

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

GaboonViper461d ago

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

got_dam461d 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.

cthulhucultist461d 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.

Demetrius461d 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

ColdSin1539d ago (Edited 1539d 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.

Zoned1538d ago

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

moongrim1539d ago

How about Fable II Remastered for the pc please?!

RaveTears1539d ago

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

moongrim1538d ago

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

Zoned1538d 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

RaidenBlack1538d ago

I was disgusted with Fable III

RaidenBlack1538d ago (Edited 1538d 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.

Zoned1538d ago

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

RaidenBlack1537d 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.

porkChop1538d 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.

sushimama1539d 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.

Zoned1538d ago

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

RgR1538d 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.

RgR1538d ago

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

chiefJohn1171538d ago (Edited 1538d ago )

Hell no Fable legends is NOT what we wanted.
Fable 2 is what we want outta Fable. Remake Fable 2 please.

5 Sequels We Would Love To See On Project Scarlett

Sam Smith writes: "While we hope to see lots of fresh and exciting new IPs on Project Scarlett, here are 5 sequels to established Xbox franchises we’d very much like to see."

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.

Platformgamer1807d ago (Edited 1807d ago )

sunset overdrive 2... oh wait

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