BeefJack: 'Fable III is ambitious. Then again, aren’t they all. From the pre-release hype that each Fable game is subjected to, they always seem to fall short of their true potential. And here we are, with what is possibly the most ambitious entry into the franchise yet. As Peter Molyneux confesses, “we’re very excited, yet incredibly nervous,” about the forthcoming release of Fable 3.'

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.
I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.
Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.
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.
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.
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
Looking forward to this. Only 2 more weeks!
this was on my must buy list and after reading this article and a couple of others, every one of them has "concerns"
gonna wait for the reviews
Cant wait for this game loved both the fable games so far but this sounds more and more like what fable 1 was trying to be.
Decided I'd give this game a try [after debating back and forth quite a bit], may pick up a few more hours in Fable 2...
How are the graphics bad? If you've seen moving footage of the game you'd know that it looks pretty great. The basic movement animations can look a little stiff in combat, but that's all I have to complain about.
And is this guy really complaining about bad voice-acting? Fable has always done that extemely well.
This could disappoint, you would have to have no knowledge of this series' history to think otherwise. But, this preview is only complaining about familiarity and a few insignificant nit-picks like slightly robotic animation at points (which is hardly unheard of in huge, open-world RPG's).
