Nah, I reckon peeps are too harsh when it comes to Fable. They moan about what it should be rather than appreciating what it is... just a simplistic game to run through. I like challenging games, love my stealth shit, but sometimes I just wanna hack n slash through hordes with a little RPG element to it and a decent enough story. The Fable series has never set the industry alight, but it's enjoyable enough for me to like it, and that's all that matters really. If I wanted more in-depth gameplay, I'd play another game.
Totally. I think it's more of a case of judging art by its artist rather than the actual art itself.
Fable is not the greatest thing I ever played but I really enjoyed the original and thought the second was good. With all its flaws and limitations. If I listened to Peter Molynemaosdfjbdsfjhbds and took every single thing he said seriously, then i'd probably be on the hate or dislike bandwagon too cause it doesn't deliver on those promises. But on its own, I think its fine.
