Re: What's this? No discussion on FABLE!?

I still can't wait to get the game, even with the "bad things" the reviews are awesome. I mean, 9.2-9.5 is nothing to sneeze at. ESPN NFL has become redunant, which is due to playing the game everday. I think I'll take the next week off to prepare myself for Fable.

I cancelled my preorder yesterday. I wanna see what everyone has to say about it first. Plus I plan on getting NBA live and college hoops so I wont really have time to play it between all the basketball and football.

There's also talk about a Fable 1.5.

More than likely it could be similar to Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition. Something we won't see until Fable goes Platinum. And something that will likely cost about 20-30 bucks for the extra features, content, etc.

But, it's just a rumor right now, even though the Fable team did say that the rumor is true, but not a reality at the moment - probably meaning it's something they've thought about, but haven't seriously considered doing.

Re: What's this? No discussion on FABLE!?

I think they should be focusing they're energy on a sequel. Obviously, the first Fable has feature that were scraped so why not find ways to include them in the sequel.

My thoughts on Fable as of today are this. At first, this game seemed to be number 1 on my list of games this year. Over GTA and over Halo and Smackdown. But after reading a few reviews, I'm losing interst by the day. Dont get me wrong, I will still purchase the game but at first, I was expecting another Morrowind. After the reviews, it seems nothing like Morrowind and now, I'm forcing myself to not expect Morrowind. Which is good but I was defitnitly expecting a game that replaces Morrowind as the GOAT.

Even though I have'nt a clue if it will, I know it wont. Based off the impressions of most of the reviewers, they all say similar things. That the game is not as good as it could be. It'll still be a great game, and the story will defitnitly keep you in the game but it seems as if the immersiveness is'nt up to par with games like Morrowind. Which has me a little concerned. But nonetheless, I'm sure it'll be a hit, just nothing that'll make me wanna call of work with. If anyone understands what I'm sayin.

A few tidbits from the UK OXM review...

Fable highlights

"Fable is a gamers fantasy made flesh"

"Rarely does an RPG appeal beyond a niche audience but this action adventure oozes fun and accessability from every pore."

"The first time you play through an adventure you'll start to see a mirror of the kind of person you really are"

" If you're famous and good looking enough villagers will follow you on an adventure. They won't fight with you but they'll clap & cheer when you showboat or kill a monster. If they get bored they'll go home. Evil players can use them as human shields or abandon them in the wilderness"

"Tofu makes you a better person, while eating Crunchy Chicks makes you evil"

"During my first 7 hours of play I Robbed someones house, slew a troll in my underpants, got wed, kicked a chicken 3.5654 metres into the air, caught a fish, drank beer until i puked and lost 3000 gold at cards"

" An expert archer will eventually be able to kill with one hit using auto-aim or even take heads off using first person aiming"

"If you hire a good body guard from the Temple of AVO and a bad Body guard from Twinblades bandit fort, they'll have arguments with eachother"

"The enemy AI is fairly tough and you are sometimes faced with 20 enemies at a time"

"While the framerate stutters fractionally during the more intense battles, Fables graphics are so awe-striking you won't be distracted"

"You have to put lots of time in -more then 30 hours just to finish once- and you have to be patient and not expect your hero to evolve instantly.

In return you'll be rewarded with a unique sandbox-style world, graphics and audio polished beyond belief and a hero you're genuinely proud of. Who cares that your wife won't sleep with you when there's so much adventure to be had. Fable just won't take over your life, Fable will become it"

"Unique in the world of video games. Confident, flashy and polished beyond belief, there's no way you won't love it"

Taking the points Flawless quoted from OXM, I think it's safe to say that if you want to enjoy Fable you have to undertand it isn't Morrowind.

I know you already realize this. Trust me, I wanted this to be like Morrowind too. But, I also enjoy Legend of Zelda, and in my opinion, this looks like a Legend Of Zelda type game. It isn't the game I originally thought it would be, but it's still looking like a great game.
