"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.....

Zelda > Fable.

True story.

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

Yes, I judge each game seperatly.

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


How clever of you.

They are by your definition:

Taken from Tribber's 'Games Rush' thread.

Probably because Zelda and The Sims aren't RPGs.

What's the point then?

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

All essentially shallow in an RPG sense.

Selling Riddick?

I'll buy it off you.

sad thing is most people miss the point of fable

Ive only played through it once and finished but im still playing with that toon, having fun getting married and bonus games etc.

Just how much you can do really. It was never going to be completely open-ended, I just love how differnet you can end up each tiem you play through.

I can see why people wouldn't like it if they only played through it once and left it at that, but I intend to go through multiple times. I don't know, I just really, really like it. First game that's felt special for my XBox. Like when you play a Zelda title, even if you're not doing much, it just feels right.

Although this is just at the moment, once I've finished I could feel differently, but I doubt it.
