Whoa, whoa, whoa...hated it compared to what? Console games aren't exactly the pinnacle of voice acting, here. I'd say that Fable's voice acting's comparable to MGS--at the very least. There were some weak moments, but for the most part, Fable's voice acting was well done, from the main characters to the most miniscule.

yea, there is alot of potential and it was a really fun game... while it lasted, I just hope the PC game goes well and paves the way for an improved sequel
The difference in playing time probably has nothing to do with the actual gameplay itself but more with the loading times.
When playing from dvd you will need about 5 more hours to finish the game compared to playing it from the harddrive. Not that I have a modded xbox of course, since that's not 100% legal... Just what I've heard.

The music and art is one of the main things i loved about Fable. And stupid things like comments by innocent people as i hack down bandits. The over the top dramatic dive the innocent guys perform when you hack em, the way people gather around a dead body and start talking to each other.
The game ozzes so much charm. I adore it, absolutely love everything about it. The crooked, warped dark forest settings, the look of the towns, the way men drop their crates when i run into them, the mini games in the pub, the pathways, the stories (books you would steal from peoples house).
Fable 2 on 360 is probably my most wanted game next gen. Over any Zelda game, MGS game or Halo game.

:rolleyes ... this is the type of shit that brings GAF down. After 15 minutes, you didn't even get through the introduction. Trolling doesn't get more obvious than this.
Personally, I enjoyed Fable. I thought it was a great romp and offered a unique experience in gaming. I've never played anything like it and it was one of the few games this gen that I just had to finish. Can't wait for Fable 2.

It was obnoxious and abrasive, and it hurt my head. There are even games not in the RPG genre, like Halo, Psychonauts or GTA, that have both better stories and better voice acting.. and KOTOR walks all over it.

I didn't have a freakin' stopwatch, it might have been longer than that. I gave it long enough to get a taste of the storyline and sample the gameplay mechanics. It felt like I got hit over the head with every RPG cliche in existence, and as if that wasn't bad enough, it was disorienting just to run around because the whole environment bends and folds as you walk.
The things I hated most about Fable where the age system and the non-openness of the world.
My character seemed to age 10 years an hour and the world was almost all small paths with invisible walls blocking your surroundings...I lost interest by the time I had a 60-something year old hero...probably in less than 7 hours of total game time

I don't care what changes they make to Fable, I'm not touching it. It had annoying voices (everybody sounded like a drunk idiot), bad world design, horrible character design, crappy fighting, a healing potion every screen, way too easy difficulty, not enough side quests, bad balance of power in moves and items, stupid loads, confined areas, linear as linear can be objectives, and bosses as easy as common enemies.
Fable didn't just fall short of what was promised, it fell short on just about everything else that makes a good game...uh, erm, good.

I didn't think it was bad..just, it's alright. It doesn't really feel like its anything they said it was going to be, so they earned the backlash I think.
wow people actually knock the voice acting.
Some of you sure are bitchy.
The voice acting was good, the art was great, the music was awesome (Danny Elfman and some random talented guy Russell Shaw). The battle system was ok. The length of the game and loading times sucked.
I'm not sure what oblivion's world will be like. But I'd like Fable 2 to be inbetween Morrowind and Fable. Morrowind is too large and too redundant. Fable is too small.

Maybe some people just have a differing opinion than your own. Ever think of that?
I didn't think the voice acting as all that great myself either. It seemed to all sound the same after a while. The art was ok. The graphics had a weird look to them since the shadows were on a polygonal level instead of at the pixel level.
The game, quite frankly IMO, sucked. Has nothing to do with bitchy. Bitchy, according to you, appears to be people who simply don't agree with your opinion.
Oh, i'm sorry.
IMO, You're bitchy IMO. IMO.
Deal with it.
People are knocking every aspect of the game as terrible when it's clearly not. I don't think you can say the music sucks. Because for it's style, the music is very good. The voice acting suites the environment. You can say you don't like the environment, but you can't say that it sucks. It's so subjective.
But that's just my opinion.

In comparison to VA in Planescape: Torment or Baldur's Gate II, the voice acting is beyond sub-par.
That's correct. It's my opinion that it's clearly not. And it's my opinion that people cannot say that every single aspect of the game is flawed.
People can say it, but I don't agree with their argument.
Maybe I should have put another IMO in there or "but that's just my opinion."
I love the way the game world consisted of hills, twisting paths and over the top structures. Feels far more organic and fairy tale-like.
Im so happy for BBB, seeing as thier game cleared over a million in sales pretty quickly, hopfully influences MS to back games without guns and explosions.

quit pussyfooting around...either tell people with opposing opinions to fuck off and die or pander toward their obviously inferior opinions in the hopes of becoming politically correct (because let's face it...the universe DOES revolve around the individual)...fuck having to signify each post with a "IMO" or a "I think". say what's on your mind and let people figure out that when you say "THE GAME IS NOT FLAWED" that you are obviously stating opinion and not factteh_pwn said:That's correct.

let it be known that I was and still am 100% against you. Fable is flawed. Good? Yes. GOTM? maybe but that is where any praise ends
That's actually my stance. The game has much to improve on.
I was just disagreeing with the apparent notion that every single aspect of the game is flawed. The music and atmosphere were great. The game length and loading times were not.
