An Open Letter Regarding…Fable 3

Joe Catalano takes on Peter Molyneux and Fable 3 in this edition of 'Open Letter'...

"So I just beat Fable 3. And I hated it.

I can not to describe to you, dear reader, the loathing I have for this garbage heap bastardization of the Fable franchise… There is literally nothing on this planet Earth that could make me like this game, simply because it is absolutely everything that Fable is not.."

So late on the PC release. I was planning on getting the game too.

iamgoatman5605d ago

Yeah, where the bloody hell is my PC version dag nammit!

dragonelite5605d ago

Soon i think because they had it running at CES.

jammydude5605d ago

Another game PC only gamers are missing out on. I 'spose you can feel happy that this isn't another GOTY award winning exclusive that you have to miss out on though.

iamgoatman5605d ago

@jammydude

I don't see how PC only gamers are missing out though, unless you mean the delay, but as dragonelite said, they showed the PC version running at CES, so it's not like it's been canceled. I could have got the game when it released for my 360, but seeing as the PC version was confirmed prior to this, I think it's worth the wait to get the superior version.

Also, missing out of games goes both ways you know.

Godmars2905605d ago

Really missing why you're looking forward to the PC, when this is an article about someone who hated the game. Who's saying the franchise needs to go away.

iamgoatman5605d ago

And? I Really couldn't give a damn what some guy on some site thinks. I'd prefer to play through it myself and see how it goes, if MS eventually get round to releasing it that is. Plus I known a fair few people who enjoyed the game, maybe they're right? Only time will tell.

game had a good story but the games controls were boring as shit. all i did was bold b down for 5 seconds with magic and everything died. i didn't try to dodge the entire game.

Bobby Kotex5605d ago

I was fine with the story too. The game just had zero challenge. I got an achievement for finishing the game without dying.

Kon5605d ago

The ending of Fable 2 was one of the worst endings that i've saw in a long time... Where is my boss fight? It doesn't exist.

StarScream4Ever5605d ago

Fable 3 end game was also lacking, some boss fight that was.

tmoss7265605d ago

100% agree. Fable 2 wasn't too terrible, got the platinum hits version cheap for $20, but I'm definitely not getting Fable 3. It was just same old crap.

iamgoatman5605d ago

"but I'm definitely not getting Fable 3"

So have or haven't you played it? Because how can you agree with something if you haven't actually experienced it yourself?

BakedGoods5605d ago (Edited 5605d ago )

Time is money, and money well spent sometimes requires research. In this case, tmoss has decided that Fable 3, based on his previous experience with 2 and (presumably) articles like this, is not worth his time/money.

It's that simple really.

iamgoatman5605d ago

There is indeed no harm in researching before purchasing, but you seem to have missed my point. How can he flat out say he agrees 100% with something if by his own admittance he hasn't actually played it? Fair enough he can make a decision based upon previous experiences with the 2nd game, reviews etc and choose not to purchase the 3rd. But to agree fully with an article that said they hated it, as well as saying it's the "same old crap" doesn't hold water.

Who knows, maybe he has played it, that's what the question was for.

tmoss7265601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

I rented it from redbox and beat it in a few days. Sorry forgot to mention that part.

CharlesDCI5605d ago

At least he beat it first. lol

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.

cthulhucultist1067d 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
