Fable is a nice idea, but it is just loaded with way too many problems...
Star Ocean 3 took me like 50 hours to complete and I had a blast the entire time. I can't even bring myself to complete Fable at this point. There is fun to be had, but it's ultra linear, divided as hell, and not nearly as fun.
heh, yeah its sorta embarassing, what the hell did they do for 5 years? the outcome is a short and easy game with no story. ludicrous.
SO3 is fun, but geez, the battle system really works against you...my moron teammates ruin my set up combos ALL THE TIME!!!!! enemies keep falling and messing up combos. sometimes out of nowhere my team mates just stand there and do nothing for no apparent reason!!!!
conversely, when i keep getting whipped, i dont fall at all...so enemies keep whipping me. maps dont mark entry/exit points and they are sooooooooo huge that its too easy to get lost. i'm immensely impressed by the sheer scale of the dungeons but i usually run out of items and MP so i am forced to get out to the nearest town, load up items and return. its a chore at times. worst of all, usually the branching paths only lead to freaking blue/blackberries and no weapons/armour or any loot of considerable value. so the only point of exploration is to get that 100% map completion bonus...i dont have patience for that shit. anyway, i digress.

Wait until they lower the price on Ninja Gaiden for the holidays and watch them release a Ninja Gaiden: Deluxe as well. It deserves all that sales it can get cause it definitely is GOTY material

You know it's true.

But you are COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT ABOUT FABLE.
The story is pretty average for an RPG. It is not bad, it's actually ok. I don't see the big deal about it, from a negative perspective.
Puzzles? The game has some sort of puzzles, but again, it was never the intent for the game to be puzzle heavy or laden. Fable is all about interactivity and how to handle situations with different approaches. Not to mention, it's about playing YOUR own hero and not some scripted character the developer created for you to loan.
Interesting characters? Fable does have some interesting characters. The lack of a longer story sort of screws some more potential good ones though. Again, in Fable the focus is on you. It's from an egotistical perspective.
The only valid complaint you mention is the lack of true challenge. It's a very easy game.
In the end, Fable is what it is, not for fault, but because it was what the developers intended. Don't like it? Tough luck. Go play some other game. To come into a thread with such an OBVIOUS trolling remark and mask it with the "i didn't say it sucked" excuse is insulting to anyone that reads it.

I don't see it that way. Sure, if I had posted "Wow, imagine how much better it would sell if it actually was good", but I tried to only list the flaws that I found to be legitimate, and which I haven't even seen anyone refute.
BTW, I think this is the first time I've been called a troll since I changed screen names. Wow, that brings back memories.

I think Fable was a good game, but I agree with the points Miburou made. I took his comment as poking fun at those who gloss over the game's flaws. I like Blinx, but I don't flip out and accuse someone of trolling when someone insults Blinx in a Blinx thread. I don't have that kind of time on my hands!
I know I like to rip on Fable, but my outpost order came the other day and I have about 4 hours into the game. And after all the slack I've given this game I uhhh....am enjoying myself so far. Definitely not the best RPG ever made like a certain someone wanted to claim, but an enjoyable experience nonetheless taken for what it is.
I have a couple problems. Mainly the combat system. The camera moves too damn slow when you want to swing it around to attack other enemies. I know you can hit L to move to different targets but that doesn't always work the best, especially when you have townsfolk around the enemies. This is exactly why Ninja Gaiden doesn't have a moveable camera when you are fighting. Anyway, back to Fable, the fighting system is good. The slow camera annoys me. I like being able to mix in magic attacks with melee or ranged attacks. Plus the level up system is nice too, how it breaks everything up depending on how you fight. I'm a stat whore junkie so I love this aspect. Yes, the game is linear, but it hasn't been as big a problem as I thought it would be. The game is quite open ended in its linearity. You have a ton of things to do. Main quests, side quests, leveling up, playing side games, etc. I've been trying to win some money playing black jack but the damn dealers cards are hot. Going to cut this short for now, but at this time the game has really grabbed me in.

Well when I read it after you have explained yah I guess it wasn't really trolling. But then his reply with the picture wasn't really there to insult/offend you I don't think. He probably posted it to make a "funny". Btw you are pocketfudge right?
