Fable Review (IGN)

It´s up, check it out, IGN gave it a 6.3 !?!?! :frowning:

j/k…:wink:

Not a perfect game, but still gonna play it :slight_smile: Its the first review so let´s wait what other people think about it…

Basically, they say it’s a UBER sweet setup, with a story that sorta disappoints. I wasn’t anticipating an exceptional story though. I’m all about the character creation. Bring on that sweet Evil-theif!! :smiley:

well, I personally prefer a good story than a good character creation but what I dont like its that it can be finished under 20 hours, but I always explore evrything so I will last like 80 :stuck_out_tongue:

What a huge uproar this review caused on the forum over there at IGN Xbox… wow. The geeks were all out in full force that’s for sure.

I don’t know why everyone is so upset, this game is going to be awesome. If they actually read the review instead of just skipping to the end they would see that this is going to be one of the best games made for the box. Sure it didn’t live up the lofty expectations put forth by the creator, but it did turn out to be one hell of a great game and I am sure there will be many sequals that will get better from here on in. I cannot wait to get my hands on this game. Besides, I don’t know about the rest of you but if a game was going to take me 80 hours to beat, I wouldn’t play it in the first place, I don’t have that kind of time.

yes ur right in everything u said Sureshot, but it´s weird a RPG has been in development like 4 years is kinda short, it´s not a huge problem for me neither as long as it entertaining, I was reading the forums in gamefaqs.com an its irritating to read the people complaining…

Well if i were to believe gamereviewers and movie critics i would go broke or not enjoy something i like, so the best way to know if i will like or despise this game will be when i actually play it that being said im sure i will like it, hell they gave sudeki a low review and its actually a good action rpg.

I was thinking in getting sudeki but I´ll just wait for fable then :slight_smile:

It’s supposed to be 20 hours if you basically run through it and do the main quest. If you opt for ANY of the side questing, and treasure hunting, or exploring, the review said it could last about 60 hours. The thing is, I’ve beated final fantasy 7 in like 40 hours, and not tried for a fast time. So if I’m not trying for a fast time in this, I could get it done quickly. The longest game I ever played was Xenogears, and god, what that EPIC. splooge

So has anyone played this yet? Any comments on it? I’m going out to buy it today after work. :smiley:

My friend has already missed 2 days of school to play it.

:lol: Makes me wonder where one of my coworkers has been for the past few days as well…

And the bad part is that he’s supposed to help me on a project we have to do for World History class.

That’s why I don’t have any consoles :lol: But I must admit, it does make me want to go out and finally buy the box. There are actually quite a few games for Xbox that I’d like, except that most of them are available for PC (Splinter Cell, Halo, etc).

I could just wait it out and hope that it gets released for PC…

:love: PC keyboard/mouse. Beat’s a controller anyday. :love:

Yeah I also want to hear what you guys think of it… I kind of leaning toward buying it.

Fable = pwn. It’s a lot shorter than I expected, but it’s one of those games that I can play like, 40 times over because of the character system. There tons of ways to play the game, and anything you do has an effect. Eat too many pies / beer / meat? You get bigger and fatter. Now, if you work out with that heavy weapon while you’re fat, you gain muscle. If you don’t eat, you wont get the muscle. Stay in the sun a lot? Get a tan! Use magic a lot? Watch you body grow a little more frail, and your eyes glow, and strange symbols start to appear on your skin. Want that cool big house down the street that the barber lady owns? Break into her house at night and end her suffering. Her house will be on the market in the morning. :smiley: There is just TONS to mess around with. Great game.

i have it, it rocks nuff said

Getting drunk (in game :ne: ) and then doing the escort mission with multi-arrow activated is just asking for trouble :sen:

This game is simply awesome.
