Fable III

Know somebody who might be like this game?

Anyone with a brother or sister knows that sibling rivalry is real. In extreme cases it can tear a family apart. So imagine if your older brother was a tyrannical King and it was down to you to overthrow him to bring peace to the land (extreme case in point)! That’s the situation that Fable III’s main protagonist finds himself in at the beginning of the game. There’s no slow intro this time, it’s straight into the action and the choices you make from the offset will determine the outcome of your journey.

The action RPG, set in an open world, continues the story from Fable II, but 50 years into the future. The eldest son of the hero from Fable II (The Hero of Bowerstone) has been given the crown but it’s safe to say he’s not being the greatest king and it’s up to you to do something about it. Through forming alliances and building a revolution you must do all you can to save the fictional continent of Albion from the clutches of your big bro turned evil villain Logan. That’s the first job, but once you’ve completed that fairly sizeable task, there’s the small matter of ruling the kingdom (no big deal). And the fun doesn’t stop there either! Having taken the throne, you’ll have to defend the realm from The Crawler and the forces of Darkness who are hellbent on death and destruction. Will you end up being a noble king or another deceitful tyrant? The choice is yours!

Fable III also features some fantastic voice acting from some very famous faces (well voices,) from the likes of John Cleese, Michael Fassbender, Stephen Fry and Simon Pegg (just to name a few), making it a real blockbuster!

But the combat system is not funny at all and is what prevents me to play this game twice just to see the other alternative ending.

It's a solid game but has quite a few flaws, but lets start with the pros. The game is quite immersive, having very little HUD, and no real menus to speak of. The game looks great and is not very demanding, even on low settings the graphics are still appealing. A short list, yes, but please read the flaws and you'll see why I gave this game a 5~ even though I'm rarely generous with scores. The combat has the right idea, it's engaging, you can flow seamlessly between the 3 combat styles(Guns, swords, magic). Where it falls short is that the combat is not difficult. Even on it's highest difficulty it is still far, far too easy. Dodge rolling provides too many invincibility frames and doesn't have enough of a time frame between when you recover from a roll and when you can attack again. Another problem is the loot system. You're constantly stopping to crack open chests, most of the time, you'll only end up getting a measly 200 gold or gem, rather than clothing/tattoos. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't a 10 silverkey chest in the second town you go to that gives 50,000 gold, which you can then invest into buying up all the property you have access to. When you're making 2000-7000 gold every 5 minutes, it's hard to justify spending as much time as you will digging up loot. The game could also do with a lot less chatter. Be it your butler harassing you while you're changing outfits or you're walking through town getting screamed at by the dozen NPCs that are surrounding you. The game could definitely stand to have a slider to adjust how much banter there is, because it /will/ wear on you, and quickly. Another quirk about the game is that it's tone is all over the place. The story is serious, but your character is a walking jack in the box. You can slaughter an entire town or save little girls, but your talk options are limited to farting in peoples' faces and whistling little tunes. Your one true love is locked up in a tower and one of your driving motivations is to save her, but you can participate in massive orgies. What I'm trying to say is the main story and your actual actions don't...really...mesh well. This is a good entry RPG, but anyone familiar to gaming will have a hard time enjoying this title.

Ofh Fable, you try soooooo hard. But you couldn't possible escape a 7 if your life depended on it. But you are fun. No doubt. Anyways, FableOfh Fable, you try soooooo hard. But you couldn't possible escape a 7 if your life depended on it. But you are fun. No doubt. Anyways, Fable is good, no question. It's fun' It's big. It just never, ever blows me away. I feel like "wow, I'm on a big adventure" but I don't feel like"Omg this is the greatest thing ever!!!" Anyways, play it, have simple fun. I do truly (said it since Fable1) thing it's the most overrated series ever. But it's still fun. Give it a shot.

So it came to pass that Molyneux's latest epic was brought unto Windows. Though it was a port lacking in polish, with graphics below those of the modern age, the people embraced it as a rarity. Gritty but immature, dark yet not steeped in the occult, it stood out amongst the science fiction and horror-fantasy that dominated the marketplace.
