Fable III review - Three months later

Fable III is publisher Lionhead’s latest action-RPG, released in October of 2010. The Fable franchise has a fairly large pedigree in the gaming world, being a major franchise for the Xbox, and the brainchild of luminary Peter Molyneux. The previous games were preceded by a rather large amount of hype, mostly by creator Molyneux, touting features that wouldn’t actually make into the game. However, once the games were released they were highly praised for their engaging worlds and emphasis on decision making. The only real foible of the Fable games is their inability to live up to the hype. Does Fable III reverse the trend?

Another one of my "Three Months Later" reviews.

I liked Fable II a lot, but Fable III just took all the things I liked about it, made them worse, and redoubled all the things I hated.

I love Outlaw Star reading your name made me smile. Fable 3 never played it never will.

Jim Hawking5598d ago

Thanks. You have no idea how rarely people recognize the name, 90% of the time people ask if I'm the "wheelchair guy".

I'm not the wheelchair guy :)

lol I heard u have to pay for just black dye, and other stupid DLC

and these 3 month later reviews are a good idea

InvaderZim5598d ago

Wow. This seems really harsh. I haven't played Fable 3 yet but I was under the impression that it was a great game. Fable 2 wasn't bad...

TardcoreGamer5598d ago

Yeah. I got this game for Xmas..wasn't that interested in the first place but gave it a shot...It's a solid Meh title for sure. graphics are meh. gameplay meh. and who could care about the story when its boring weak lip sync animations distract you. Sorry but when you are built up that much with hype, you get let down double. Got a $20 trade in credit at gamestop for it today. sorry Peter

WoW...has this guy ever played a RPG before. Besides reviewing games that came out 3 months ago, last year in fact, this kid doesn't even seem to understand what RPG means or stands for...lol.

I agree with the graphics not being all they could be but complaining about collision detection problems in a game like this shows how little you know about the genre.

RPG's are all about " trivial and boring " game play and millions enjoy that type of time wasting activity. Side quests, leveling up, buying wardrobes, talking to random NPC's is what some people like to do...not you of course, you just like to review games 3 months later and say they are bad...O_o.

Seriously, MIKE SUcKin...find something else to do with that considerable ignorance.

BTW...change that pic...you look like a deer caught in a head light...actually, it suits you fine.

Jim Hawking5598d ago

Good RPGs are fun. This game wasn't fun. My favorite game is Fallout 2. Fallout 2 is fun. See where I'm going with this.

Nice one bubble. BTW

showtimefolks5598d ago

but maybe after a big price cut with so many games for 2011 we all have to pick and choose

how is this game? better than fable 2 gameplay wise?

I hope it's great but won't hold my breath. From what I've seen i expect a pile of ugly, Dragon Age Veilguard-like garbage. I hope they prove me wrong.

DarXyde204d ago

Peter Molyneux is bloody hilarious. Imagine...

Self aware enough to know he's got a history of over promising... ONLY TO OVER PROMISE BY SAYING MASTERS OF ALBION WILL MAKE UP FOR DECADES OF OVER PROMISING

What?! 🤯😂

peppeaccardo204d ago

This dude should take over Phil Spencer's job ... nobody at MS would note the difference moving forward.

CrimsonWing69204d ago

Isn’t that what you’re literally doing here?

ShwaaMan204d ago

Did he just pull a Peter Molyneux again…?
