Anybody else really liked Fable 3?

Anybody else really liked Fable 3?
It had a handful of problems but overall I really hope they re-release it on PC with some fixes to the awful Sanctuary room, the map, the clothes and armor, and the way weapon chests were pre-seeded as soon as you started a new game.

I got stuck in a tree. Fuck this game.

I hated it.
Fable 2 was alot better and the only thing I disliked about it was how as your melee, ranged, and magic changed the way you look.
By endgame I looked like some old, tall, muscular biker with blue tribal tattoos all over his body.

It made me nauseous how much it held your hand and the talking PC pissed me off. I couldn't play it.

The character model/animations were awful too.

Fable 3 was awful
Fable 1 was great
Fable 2 was good but, not as much as 1.

I just wonder what would have happened if the series kept going. Would fable 4 take place in the 1800s old west? Fable 5, World War 1 or World War 2, fighting nazis? Fable 6 1940s Mafia stuff?
Fable 6, 1950s america?

I mean I think the game could have been interesting if it would have kept going forward but stuck with what made fable 1 interesting.

I played all of them. and 3 is the worst but it's not bad imo. I enjoyed it, but 2 will always be the best.

I thought it was pretty cool, but it felt really messy, and it didn't really have any breaks in the game where you felt like you could go off and do your own thing.

Also why is it impossible to get this game for PC anymore?

Fable 2 was better in almost every single way, it's still one of my fav games ever.
I preordered CE of Fable 3 because Peter overhyped it to me and when I finally got to play it it was the biggest fucking let-down in my entire life. I still have buyer's remorse and since then I don't preorder anything anymore.

I wouldn't know. My fucking copy of it didn't work on the day I got it (my birthday, if I remember right) and the fucking store wouldn't give me a new one.

Eventually bought another copy years down the line, but never bothered playing it. Maybe I'll try it now.

I would much rather have Fable 2 on PC.

I remember you from a thread many moons ago. I still don't understand how anyone could like Fable 3, but I respect your opinion nonetheless.

I'd have love to see something more akin to Fable 2 + Skyrim. Despite them both being kinda flawed and shit in their own way, I would have still had a fucking blast, especially if mods were a thing.

Overall I think I like Fable 2 the most, it still felt somewhat polished and consistent, unlike Fable 3 and for the most part expanded on what I enjoyed in Fable 1. But fuck, the entire series is so painfully shallow and linear, epic adventures equate to effectively running off down a garden path for a few minutes, exploration is minimal, loot never feels special at all.

But fuck if the games aren't charming as hell.

10/10 game mechanic

fable 4 when

This brings back memories of spending an insane amount of time trying to get the pirated DLC to work. Somebody threw up the files on TPB but nobody really cared enough about the game to get them working. Somehow I managed to get it done but I can't for the life of me remember how.

It was a pretty comfy game overall.

You've pretty much just described how Hollywood's real estate market functions.

you didnt hear?

Lionhead studios is disbanded.

:(

It was a fun for a free game, although I do wish it was more RPG than action. Why couldn't they keep and expand on the Fable 1 gameplay, instead of streamlining it to boringness?

I really liked Fable 3, at least up until you become ruler, but I never played any of the other ones. Almost bought a 360 just for it.
I remember the lute. I remember a lot of lute.

One thing that always annoyed me about the Fable series is that you never really had to make any choices in regards to character development. "You can be whatever you want" turned into "You're going to be everything at once. Enjoy your ten foot tall beefy magic sword archer."

Imagine taking the piss of a sheep-shagging (i.e., normal) Welshman, adding sugar, and allowing the mix to ferment at the bottom of a tin bucket for several months. Then, take the resulting mixture and forcefeed it to a homeless Englishman until he's puking his guts out.

Then you use that shit and puke as lubricant and jacked off into yet another tin bucket, then shoved your head in said tin bucket and had a band of mentally handicapped Scotsmen (i.e., regular ordinary Scotsmen) bang on the bucket with metal spoons for seven hours.

Then a gipsy steals your wallet, and you're out $60.

That's what my last vacation to Great Britain was like, and it's also exactly like the experience of playing Fable 3. To call it a retarded piss festival does a disservice to piss fetishists, since to my knowledge they've never inflicted a game like Fable 3 on the general public. I have seen gang rapes with more joy than Fable 3.

I liked the real estate view thing that made managing properties not a pain in the ass.

In Fable 2 I only used the singleshot rifle, ended up with a tall skinny sharpshooter qt 3.14. Still rekt everything.

In my opinion, Fable 3 is mediocre game with one mechanic that totally redeemed it: becoming king. I went into Fable 3 blind, I didn't know any of the plot or setting or anything like that, so I thought it was just going to be more of the same Fable. Meet a bad guy, go on a whimsical adventure, meet some whimsical characters, eventually kill the bad guy, and then spend the rest of the time being comfy and tying up loose ends before quitting and starting a new character a few months later.

When I killed the bad guy and realized that the game was only halfway finished, I was genuinely blown away. The entire focus of the game then shifted from a whimsical Fable RPG adventure to an intense RTS type resource management game. The change in atmosphere really caught me by surprise. I was expecting the credits to roll after becoming king, but instead it just evolved into a whole new game. Maybe I remember it so fondly because it's something I had never experienced before, I don't know of any game that has ever done something like that before.

This sounds like a marketer because the second half of the game has the most basic resource management possible. The only resource you have is gold, and the only place it can go is into or out of the treasury. And you don't even need to manage it if you buy all the properties beforehand, and idle the game for a few hours.

>game was only halfway finished

Nigga what.
I don't think we played the same game.

They clearly didn't have time/ideas to flesh it all out and the end came up so abruptly, but by then you most likely had purchased every single house and business in the game so all you had to do was quit the game, move the system clock forward, receive all the dosh needed and bang, the best ending. Apart from the choices the whole ruler thing was a fucking let-down.

There was nothing particularly good about it. It was inferior in quite literally every possible way to Fable 2. It's a shame we'll never see a PC port of that game though.

>It was a fun for a free game

?

Absolutely terrible. Beat this shitty game in like 7 hours. I have no clue as to how Molyneux managed to fuck it up this badly

The Sanctuary is literally the worst video game mechanic ever.

>It's a shame we'll never see a PC port of that game though.
We probably will.

It was fun. I wouldn't say it was that good but I don't regret playing it.

Fable 1 and 2 are way better, obviously.

I played it, can't say I remember much of it besides the weird hand holding escort quests and how my dog would forget how to animate and just float around which I made a video of.

>there will never be a Fable game where your dozens of bastard children grow up to be heroes and villains fighting for the throne
I hate that Fable 3 let me become a monarch with several illegitimate children but didn't allow said children to grow up to be scheming bastards trying to usurp me.

For all their talk about family, it was poorly implemented as fuck.

Utterly pointless.

>There will never ever be another Fable game

I got it for five bucks on a steam sale and somehow sunk 63 fucking hours into it. I don't remember a god damn second except the shadow temple shit in the middle. Also in those 63 hours I never finished the game. I still dont know if I actually liked it

Though to be honest after the steady decline with II and III I don't know if I'd want a IV

You are the Pied Piper.

Fable 3 got the online co-op to work properly and not limited to the same screen (unlike 2).

Some of the areas were pretty good, nice and large and the changes that could affect them during your time as King were alright.


They totally fucked the NPC interaction though. Had to do it one at a time and it had that fade to black in and out of doing it everytime.

Couldn't even fuck up the emotes like you could in 2. Couldn't go into a crowd and shit yourself either.

Dye DLC...

If they redid the combat system entirely I might be interested

Fable is an entire series of wasted potential. They should have honestly focused on going back into the Old kingdom by being the first Hero Archaeon.

I'm actually playing Fable 2 for the first time since 2008 and it actually holds up alot better than I thought it would. Lost Chapters is probably the best game in the series overall but 2 just holds a special place in my heart and is my personal favorite. 3 was pretty disappointing honestly, it wasn't a terrible game but compared to the first 2 it was a let down.

I would say the ranking goes TLC=Anniversary>2>

It was like a worse version of fable 2 but it is the only game that has actually presented me with difficult moral decisions.

I tried to be a good guy but you don't have enough money at the end for your army if you do that and so literally every npc dies and you're left in an abandoned kingdom. It actually made me think about the decisions leaders have to make.

I hated the upgrade system and how shallow everything felt. Also seemed less colourful than the previous two. The decisions as the monarch were too few and labelled as "good" and "evil" which is stupid. Then you hear about how they wanted a gay black female main character and realised it could have been a lot worse

I bought the Collectors Edition of Fable 3.

Boy was I an idiot.

Hey, Come here. Bro.

It's comfy here.

> I just wonder what would have happened if the series kept going. Would fable 4 take place in the 1800s old west? Fable 5, World War 1 or World War 2, fighting nazis? Fable 6 1940s Mafia stuff? Fable 6, 1950s america?

Stop, you'll make me sad.

>World War 2, fighting nazis?
Nazi Hobbs, Please god make this a thing.

My save got corrupted. Fuck this game.

>really like Fable 2
>it's shorter than Molyneux's penis

why?

Anyone remember when xbox live fucked up and accidentally listed fable 3 as free?

>tfw started playing through TLC lately

Just killed the white werewolf. Shit is fun.

This game had horrible choices and the game was too fucking short

Sounds like a quintessential Fable game then

>fable 3
>do you want to get the best ending?
>enjoy spending hours playing our shitty job minigames

As someone who had never played any other Fable game I loved it.

Did you forget that there was a real estate system that gets you hundreds of thousands of gold in minutes?

Fable 2 was terrible, went into it without playing 1.

Braindead simple combat, linear boring levels that you spend more time looking at the ground than anything else, and super blurry visuals.

Fable 3 which I got for free was pretty much the same thing but I liked it slightly more since I felt it had more personality. Still shit though.

No fuck that I loved Fable for it's fantasy elements. And when the series went on there was less and less fantasy monsters. 1 had faries, trolls, Hollowmen, Minions, Icy hollowmen, wasps, hobbes...and by the time fable 3 happens it's just hobbes and gay pirates.

>we will never get to smash Reaver's face in
Literally the only thing they had to do.

I used a glitch to get unlimited money.

Thank god.

It was pretty comfy, that part where you got stranded in that desert area scared the hell out of me as well.

Dude that shit was so fucking predictable. Whole section was just all too tryhard. Nothing can outclass Jack in terms of evilness.

>You have X days to prepare for the threat!
>Entire game is based around managing these days so you can prepare for the threat
>Manage your days well, everything according to schedule
>Suddenly, with a large amount of days left, the game does a fucking TIME SKIP with no warning
>Can't just reload your save since you still only have one or two days before the fucking TIME SKIP
>The big evil unimaginable horror is HERE RIGHT NOW
>Run out of your house
>Run down the road
>Kill it easily
>...
>THE END
>But you didn't manage your time well enough so now most of the NPCs in the game are dead!

>Fable never had another antagonistic character as memorable as Jack
>Even Jack kind of got fucked over in TLC due to his voice change
Closest was maybe Reaver but he was memorable for the wrong reasons.

I actually prefer the voice change in TLC. The original one was so fucking weird and geeky sounding. But yeah Reaver should have been an antagonist since everything has been pure ass since Fable 1. Ir better yet why not go back in time when the Queen of Blades and Knight of blades were alive?
