11 reasons to avoid Fable 3

Sarcastic Gamer writes:

"I review Fable 3, the steaming pile of tortoise manure that it turned out to be. No drama or suspense here. This time I’ll start with the bottom line…

I don’t think you should buy Fable 3, I don’t think you should rent it, and while we’re at it, I don’t want you even looking at it when you are on the game aisle at Target. Here are roughly eleven reasons why."

This is the best comment I've ever read.

If you're genuine it's funny; if it's a joke then you've distilled the art form.

Making a claim without any evidence, deciding arbitrary rules for what constitutes that claim and then suggesting people stay away!

Man. TEACH ME.

Perjoss5656d ago

isn't this article a bit late?

Convas5656d ago (Edited 5656d ago )

LOL, he too was caught by Lionhead's sneaky, but effective Playtime booster.

Dude, it's not that they didn't finish the game, it's that they want you to playthrough it again. And they accomplished this by not telling you when the hell Albion was about to get f*cked.

There were and are plenty of guides out there telling you that once you get to 150 days left or so ... STOP DOING ROYAL JUDGMENTS as it skips right down to the end of the invasion.

I personally would've liked it where they sent you down to 1 day left, that way, EVERYBODY would know, "Whoops, I don't have the gold, I'm not doing anymore judgments till I have it."

A bad game design choice, and technically, one that can be avoided, but still, utterly inexcusable from Lionhead. And DEFINITELY not a reason to tell people to avoid the game. You just gave them a way to avoid your mistakes. :P

Breakfast5656d ago

Im actually kinda glad i read that article +your post. Id rather have the story spoiled a little bit, than ruining the game for myself.

darthdevidem015656d ago

Is it really that bad?

Maybe its a "ok" game

But I refuse to believe its outright "bad"

Killed4Less5656d ago

No, it's not that bad, Sarcastic Gamer are hack journalists who would sell naked pictures of their mother on their website if it would bring them hits. Everything they do is sarcasm so it's best just to laugh and never take them seriously.

Pillowfort5655d ago

I resent this comment.

...I'd sell the pictures for beer money instead.

Rage_S905656d ago

first fable was the best imo havent tried 3 yet

Workshyskiver5656d ago

Agreed, Fable 3 was a massive step forward. And several massive steps back in some situations. still a good game but not as good as 2 and not as good as 1. Needed another year of development.

Myst5656d ago

I agree with you Mcardle I sold my copy though for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. In some ways I kind of miss it, but in some aspects I don't. It certainly was a fun game playing through and perhaps down the line I'll pick it up again later. Certainly worth a look into at least.

Workshyskiver5656d ago

Especially with this dlc fiasco unless fable 4 is reviewed extremely highly I think i'll wait for the GOTY edition and not get scammed out of content like the dyes that should be in the game.

emk20045656d ago

the first fable had the best fighting and story of all of them wish the hack and slashin would come back

NotChrisHansen5656d ago

i think you shouldn't avoid ANY game at all. How about you just play a game and have fun?

danielle0075656d ago

None whatsoever?

There are a lot of terrible games out there, my friend. I think avoiding them would be beneficial.

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.

Crows901068d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson1068d ago

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

GaboonViper1068d ago

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

got_dam1068d 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.

cthulhucultist1068d 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.

Demetrius1067d 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
