What went wrong
Fable 3
Molyneux flew too close to the sun
Shitty endgame
Not enough kingdom management
short
Broken economy with property management.
I played the series recently for an achievement run, hard to pin where it got fucked, it's just... dumb. Too short, too easy, a voiced protag that very rarely speaks, it's just fucked.
everything
one thing I hated the most was there was no attractive person you can marry
>the africa continent
>being a king means fuck all besides decorating your castle
>no pause menu, it takes you to that stupid hub
>the big bad was stupid
>lacked the fun and heart of the other two
>industrialization is ugly
Literally everything. Every flaw in Fable 2, which there are a lot of, was expanded upon instead of fixed.
>you wont see a pause screen guys!
>its replaced by 3 to 5 transition just to do a simple action that you want
Fable has an opportunity to fill a niche that I think is just waiting for somebody to grab it: a steampunk RPG.
But Molymeme went and fucked it.
imagine getting filtered by fable 3. how casual has Zig Forums become
Jasper is literally always telling you to buy content, too.
This was the worst part of the game for me. Why do simple villager interactions require me to fade to black? Even less can happen than in the previous games. I just want to replay Fable 2 but I don't own a working xbox anymore and I know it will never actually get a PC port because why would it?
Fable 3 literally doesnt let you die so its impossible for it to filter anybody.
It's playable on Xbone, Fable 3 is, too, but it's actually fucking broken.
This.
Also, I don't want to fucking dance, kiss or hug random villagers or guards, fuck you.
Can you emulate?
I often wonder if Molyneux was always a con artist or maybe he just got lucky or what exactly happened there
I played through the series, Fable: Anniversary going forward, I love Fable 2, has a certain charm, but when I saw the lack of a will bar and no armor system whatsoever my initial thought was that somebody was fucking high.
Does the original disc work? I'm sure I could borrow a bone from a friend now that the flashy new consoles are out
Xbox 360? I've never looked into that before
2 is kind of like a sidegrade IMO, there's a lot of new interesting stuff to do but a lot of things are worse or even just flat out removed for some reason
Fable 2: See person, expression wheel
Fable 3: See person, dance with, act like a chicken, or fart on them
what
Fable 2 yes, encountered no issues, Fable 3, yes... but it's very broken.
people thought he was a hype man only for the public when things were going right but he was just the same as a director
Fable 4 when?
August 2021 or Christmas 2021
All they had to do was remake fable 1 but bigger and better.
Instead we got bone handles and trash mob hollow men up the ass.
I wonder whether it'll be a reboot or a sequel. I hope it's a reboot because I don't like modern fantasy.
I pray to god that it is not open world.
Seems too early.
too early
it will be either open world or big zones world
3 seemed to just exaggerate everything from 2 without understanding what made it work.
Also the sheer quantity of stunt casts must have fucked the budget pretty handily, and even still Walter was the only one that felt natural.
Fable 1 was great. It really nailed the illusion of possibilities through simple tricks and systems. I still consider Demon Doors to be one of the coolest quests in vidya.
Fable 2 was streamlined which on the one hand produced a tight game on the other hand it kinda unveiled some of its illusion. It's mostly better to play but worse to remember.
I haven't played 3rd Fable yet.
How was Fable Anniversary?
