I actually liked it. Its better to compare Fable to an adventure/exploration game like Zelda: Ocirina of Time. Part of the reason I like it though, is that I hadn't heard much of Fable, and Fable had apparently been hyped as god's gift to gaming. Its not perfect, but I liked the art direction, the graphics and some of the sand-box like features in the villages.

 

You can also fart and burp in people's faces. :huh:

Yeah, it's like Zelda. With bland dungeons, nothing of value to explore, no decent puzzles, and no boss battles worth remembering. So, Zelda without any of the things that are likeable about Zelda. Or rather, a hack and slash.

Not really a hack and slash, Diablo, WOW, Titan Quest, those are the hack and slashes were the sole point is to get better items and level up your character. Fable while not a BG, it's more than them.

What's wrong with someone liking Fable? If you like it, fine, if you don't, fine.

I really can't call it a hack n' slash, since there is seriously very little combat in the game. Most hack and slash titles make you battle minions for hours before reaching the boss battles. Fable suffers from the opposite. The game is literally made up of like 7 boss fights. I think there were less minion fights than actual boss fights.

 

I think the Zelda comparison is actually very fitting.

Heh. I heard the hype about Fable, but after Black & White (I believe my first experience with Molyneux), I was already thoroughly skeptical and decided to ignore all the hype (indeed, I had forgotten about it really). I played what might be called the first 'chapter' of the game, until you rescue your sister (i think). It was a pretty fun, if basic and transparent, game, but it basically played like an odd parody that's not really funny of CRPGs. Eventually, I realised there was nothing in this game that is actually unique, or enough of a 'hook' to make me come back to it.

 

But then, I was never that fond of Zelda, either, only really liked Ocarina of Time.

 

I did enjoy Hurlshots point though. :)

I've got a few friends that like Fable. Here's the exact words one of them said to me.

 

"Fable's a good game if you can accept it for what it is. A decent hack and slash."

"Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

I'd classify it as more of an action rpg than a full hack and slash, theres significantly more story and non-combat options than say Diablo, but not enough focus on non-combat options to call it a full RPG. Again, its a fun little romp, as long as you don't take it too seriously. So far with Fable 2 it looks like Molyneux is doing it right. Keeping tight lipped on the features until they're implemented so as to not overhype it.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

I played it for a few minutes. It was a rather dull experience. Apparently it gets a bit better further in but I could tell it wasn't my thang.

 

Just like I could tell Deus Ex and PS:T weren't my thang after playing them for 10 minutes, I guess. They're now both part of my top 5 games list. Still, I had a point somewhere.

I agree with Kaftan so heartily that I've removed him from ignore. Congrats, Kaftan!

Because you get an option to view messages of people you've ignored on a case by case basis.
