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?

The Fable, Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White and Curiosity creator says this will be his last game…
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?! 🤯😂
This dude should take over Phil Spencer's job ... nobody at MS would note the difference moving forward.
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.
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...
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.
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?
