"Fable..."

Is;

- Beautiful
- Clever
- Funny
- Disappointing
- RPG-Lite (Not a good thing)
- Intuitive - combat/magic is great
- Again, beautiful
- Good in some of its quests - boasts are good

Isn't;

- Engrossing AT ALL
- as fun as you all said it was
- Awful
- Seamless
- Brilliant
- great-in-it's-social-interactions-which was-the-main-thing-everybody-appeared-to-love

It's good in bits, rubbish in others. Looks/sounds/feels great. Social interactions suck - you tap some buttons until someone likes/hates you, and then run away to some new place - there's simply nothing to do of any real importance - sure you can say 'get drunk and listen to people laugh' etc, then 'go kill monsters while drunk' - doesn't make the game any more interesting.

Good, but nothing, nothing to what it was supposed to be - and that's not just in the missing features, it's also in the simple fact it's just not as good as it should be....

Anyone wanna buy? O, and Riddick too, which was also good, but I didn't love it much either.....

Selling Riddick?

I'll buy it off you.

Told you it was like BG:DA + Zelda + The Sims.

All essentially shallow in an RPG sense.

What's the point then?

Probably because Zelda and The Sims aren't RPGs.

They are by your definition:

Taken from Tribber's 'Games Rush' thread.

Yes, I judge each game seperatly.

The Sims is a (shock!) life simulator, and Zelda is an Adventure game.


How clever of you.

Zelda > Fable.

True story.

Whitestripes, email [email protected] for Riddick. Tis a cracker, I assure thee.

What is it then?

I seem to have found it very quickly - and it's rather disappointing.

I do it to other drivers on Burnout 3...

Yes, but Zelda > all.
