Who's excited for fable 3?? I picked up my copy this morning, collectors ed and am so excited to play!!!!

Do you reckon it'll be awesome? Do you think it will be bad? Are you indifferent about it??

I won't buy the game but I think it looks good, and cool.
I've just never been a fan of Fable.
aww this makes me sad :( I didn't like the first fable but really really loved the 2nd... usually people find the first better though.

when it gets cheaper you should give it a go :D

I had the first Fable and enjoyed it when I was about twelve and thirteen, but I never liked the second one (and I never had a 360 or anything to play it on), so I don't think I'll be getting this one either. Like the concept of ageing and all that is cool, but apart from that it's not amazingly good.

I enjoyed 1, and absolutely HATED 2. Ice skating comes to mind when Fable 2 is brought up.

I haven't really kept up with 3 really. I'm just going to wait and see what everyone else thinks. Knowing the Fable team's development style, they are definitely the type to say they're going to do something and either do it, but half-assed or just not do it at all.

They're also the kings of removing content.

Ehhh.
Yeah Football Fan!

Hmm well I have played about 1 and a half hours of it and so far I enjoy it but I did like fable 2 better.. I guess if you hated 2 you'll really hate this one :|

they seemed to have taken out some things from 2 that I really enjoyed and replaced it with dumb down versions instead. they tried to streamline too much

But I haven't played that far yet, overall I am enjoying it but a few things need changing

How could I miss this? D:
My brother got the game today and I've been playing on it for most of the day and I've gotta say the game is AWESOME! :D I like the extras they've added and it's like Fable 1 and Fable 2 all in one, but more Epic.

I watched my friend play a little last night and we both agreed - the game looks bigger than it really is. It makes it look like you can do whatever you want, but when you try to - for example - set random townspeople on fire it doesn't work. The game is horribly freaking linear for a game with an 'open world'.

Nothing like what it is. Bought it for my gf on release day she completed it the next day, I borrowed it, completed it today took less than 6 hours. and returned it for a good amount of money back.

My advice rent it. the game is short and very easy. Go buy Fable 1 the only one that was any good.

sounds like you just played straight through it and didn't do any side missions or anything :S Its definitely not 6 hours long if you put more effort into doing the other quests

Side-quests are not part of the main game, it's ridiculous to have the actual game only last six hours.

Exactly. It doesn't feel like you accomplish something if you play through a game in 6 hours.

Well without spoiling the ending for everyone else, but if you want to finish the game the hard way then you have to do the side quests and other things.

Judging by both reviews and what people say, this game is a complete and total flop. :|

Which is a shame, really. The series seems so enchanting but the further they go, the more they seem to lose.
I wouldn't say its a total flop, some sites gave it an 8.5, some gave it lower, it really depends on what you thought of the first two and how you intend on playing. Srsly speeding through it in 6 hours is boring. Play it properly and its a lot more fun :)

What kind of things have they removed?
They removed the Expression wheel and added in some weird touch interaction thing where you don't get to choose your expressions, you just pick from 3 (1 good, 1 bad and 1 silly) that the comp chucks in for you.

Also they replaced the menu with a new thing called a sanctuary, the sanctuary is cool but there is no way to find out how many items you are holding on your person. The only way to find out is to go into battle and get hurt enough so that your potions appear on the D pad in the corner.

there were a few other things but I forget now :| I'll post if I can remember

You say play it properly but side quests are side quests. I expect a main story to take a good amount of time. Not last next to no time. I am doing it now on my gfs copy just so I can get achievements. might pick it up again when its cheap. But it isn't worth full price not by a long shot. On the standards of RPG games this is low in my opinion. First and 2nd one are better than this.

I count doing side quests and other things as playing properly, I count rushing through the storyline just playing it.

People don't whinge about Halo and CoD being 2 - 4 hours long storywise :S

and yeah, this should probably be a little longer but its hardly an RPG anymore, mostly just action adventure.

I think, if you enjoy making decisions (which count a whole lot more in this game) like hilarious English humor and a good combat system then this game is pretty good and you'd probably like it. Obv it has it's flaws but its not as **** and as 'fast' to play through as you're making it out to be.

I've been playing the game for a week and i haven't finished it yet because I am doing other things like collecting the 50 keys, 4 gold keys and the gnomes I guess i probably don't have as much time on my hands as you do but I've still managed to clock a good 10 hours on it so far (still not long i know but good enough)

Full time job, Baby, GF. I think I have even less time. You can do all that after the main story though. I have 9 hours on it. All main story done. Opened some demon doors and going work on keys now. Doubt it will take me 20 hours to complete all that. I know you can buy all the buildings and stuff. I mean its good the fixed the old time glitch from the last game so you can't disconnect from xbox live and just put your clock forward to get max money and repeat it but there are dupe glitches already that pretty much make up for that.

Also the fact you don't die you simply get knocked over annoys me. Dying in a game adds to the difficulty and as you simply just respawn in a boss fight it ruins the fun. You only need to use a strategy if yout going for the no knock down achievement which even the is easy all you do is roll around when you are low health till it replenishes.

And with COD it is more about multiplayer. Took me 7 hours to complete the game on veteran but the story for me is actually good.

There are far to many game breaking glitches in it for me aswell.
