The game got pushed like 4 months before it's scheduled ship for certification testing so a bunch a shit was cut down or dummied out.

I actually liked Fable 3, fight me. Though I hated the fact that all menus were done ingame, they thought it'd be revolutionary. Also the game was way too fucking short, and the second half where you are the king wasn't nearly as fun as it could have been.

That explains the lack of content, but not much else, I guess I should have expected this from Molyneux

>>14840316

If I remember right It wasn't Molyneux who cocked it up this time. Microsoft wanted it to ship early for halo 3 promotional shit while it was still relevant

>>14840315

I recall there was some SNES game that did the same… Terranigma, maybe?

>>14840327

well fuck microsoft then

>>14840315

II'm 2 hours in and I don't really like it so far, I do think the menu is actually kinda cool though, it's pretty seamless

i think it was a combination of several things

>molyneux has tons of street cred after fable 1, his leash is loosened considerably for fable 2 (which wasn't nearly as good but still sold well) and 3 (which was a train wreck)

>normalfags bought into it big style because at the time there wasn't much to do with your xbox once you were tired of halo, and as a result their opinions, expectations and ideas were rolled into 2 and 3

>i can't stress enough just how bad it was that molyneux basically got a blank check to do whatever the fuck he wanted; i am completely convinced the only reason 1 was any good is because he likely had to pass his ideas to several people before they were implemented, and a lot of his shitty ideas that floated to the top in 2 and 3 got flushed for 1

I thought 3 was ok until the final area where you go to the desert.

I like Fable 2. It has lots of issues but overall it's a fun game that managed to keep some of that Fable charm.

Tried replaying it recently and was enjoying it but it really suffers from being on the 360. I wish it had a PC port since the 360 version runs like crap, I don't know how back then I wasn't bothered by it.

Anyone else wanted to see how Fable Legends would be if they actually finished it?

Fable 1: Favorite premise, quests where guild cards you picked up at the Guild Hall. I like any game where quests are not started by just talking, but instead actually accepting a bounty.

Fable 2: I liked the cities more, the port/pirate one was cool, the gypsy camp I loved because I like camping and forest areas, too bad they did not bring back Mourningwood from 1, by far my favorite area. and the streamlined combat feel nicer, too back you don't ever feel as powerful as in Fable 1 and the charging of spells many times feels useless.

Fable 3: I love how the weapons morph and change with how you play, kinda, not well implimented, but some of the designs were cool, they did fuck up level progression and will though, combo speel are AWESOME, but the fact they are gauntlets now is retarded. but they rest they fucked up on alot, other than home customization. Story seemed promising, brother seems to become an asshole for no reason, but you discover what he learned and understand many of the things he did, the brother just became paranoid, bring some good grey areas to think about, but also drops the ball with where they could have gone with it.

>combat felt satisfying

>hold 1 button to block everything and spam special attacks

It was charming, but looking back on that it was pretty meh combat.

Despite all that was wrong with it, I did enjoy what Fable 2 did right. The way your body changes based upon your actions (though broken, the concept was cool). All the different facial hair and clothing and dye colors that allowed for some truly autistic customization. Getting married then seeing how your offspring takes after the customization choices you made. The whole relationship and reputation system which allowed you to be viewed as a saint with a loving wife and kids in one town, while living a double life as a gay faggot whore in the next town over. It really worked as a nice little "second life in a fantasy world" sim, and if it weren't for the shitty story that was completely on rails and all the game-breaking bugs on release, this game probably would have become a classic like the first one was.

I actually liked all 3, but 1 was my favorite.

>liking 3

Explain yourself.

Did not like the Fable universe, despised the Brit accents and fairy tale setting, though l did like nearly all else. Shame not many have the stones to set a game in the future or present even for rpgs.

I had fun playing it.

Peter Molyneux.

A compulsive liar and a possible hack that started to believe in his own lies.

Honestly if Fable 2 were on PC with light modding support or at least reworked death, magic and economy systems then I would buy it.

It isn't as good as TLC but I had enough fun exploring and collecting relics to make it worth the time and money. I just wanted more urgency to combat and the economy is a bit hardh unless you exploit it.

Gable was always shit and you have no taste.

>>14840295

I liked it.

>What the hell happened with this game?

They made it better. Fable 2 is the only good game in the series. 1 and 3 are both complete fucking ass with no redeemable qualities.

bump

Peter flat out said the game was "for people who don't play games". There was even a Penny Arcade comic making fun of it back when they used to actually do that.

He's also a liar, who cares what he says
