"Official Fable Thread"

Not quite sure why mine is more Official than any other, but there you go.

I reall like the look of this game. I really want to like the actual game, but I'm worried.

I really wanted to like Morrowind, but I didn't have 50+ hours to put into it before I could just about manage to kill a rat. Is the same thing likely to happen here?

I'm much more of a "half an hour here and there" type gamer, rather than a "6 hours straight? That's nothing!" type.

Also, talk amongst yourselves about Fable, it's out 2 months before Halo 2 anyway...


EDIT:

As this thread gets longer it'll be more difficult to find the links I've put in, so I'll add them in here too:

TeamXbox and Xbox IGN are apparently putting the first reviews up at 10am PST today (Friday 27th), which seems to be 6pm UK time.

ooooooo, where from?

here ya go people...fables first review score??????????





















9.1

the main story is 20 hours but thats if u dont mess about while doing it..and who in the hell is going to do that??anyone found a review yet??IGN were supposed to have one today.

It's gonna have tons of replayability anyway, even if the game doesn't last that long to complete.

They said before the game that the main quest could be done quickly, it's just what you do after completing it that will give the game the longetivity. It's not all about quests and side quests, it's about how you interact with the people around you, buying property, beating people up, streaking etc etc

I see myself playing the game through multiple times as it is just to see all the different characters you can be, it's one game that really will reward multiple plays through.

Thing is, the development time doesn't go into making the game longer, it goes into the freedom you have during play.

Of the 5 years, probably only 1 of those was spent on the main quest, if that makes sense?

It took the best part of 5 years to make, its going to be longer than 12 hours. Or what the hell were they doing when they went to work everyday drinking coffee all day long....

I never completed FFVIII, but I spent many hours of enjoyment on it

I mean, people tell me that they can complete FFVII in about 25 hours. It doesn't mean to say it didn't take me around 65 when I played it.

Yeah, reviewers will be trying their hardest to complete it in record time.

Nash speaks the truth.
