Everytime I think of this goofy, I think of this fukker and the cap behind this fukker:

I wanted to beat his ass after playing Fable. The amount of lies that were being spread before the game came out, then the amount of juelzing after was disgusting.
OG Fable is still a borderline classic game though:manny:

That clown said the world ages and grows.
The trees will be taller later because they age like the character.
:mjlol:
I remember stacking experience points and spending them all at one time, just to find out that my character aged like 30 years and had gray hair after. My character also started going bald because I was evil.

shyt was trash

:pachaha:

Nah, no way in hell was it a borderline classic. If you see it as such then i have no problem with that, but the game even without the lies was above average. I cant give the OG Fable more than an 8.

Would of been way better if you aged through parts of the story and not increasing skills. Plus having the world reflect that age change as well would of been good.

No.
If anything, it is only still infamous because of the BS Molyneux spouted. People are still sold on the idea that the franchise is something special.
1 was fine and ended right when it got good.
2 and 3 were mediocre.

The next one will be more filler. People need to stop giving failed franchises the benefit of the doubt.

No classics, no body of work. Fable is just a fable.

Was there another console game before it that:

Let you play as a kid and adult?
Let you get married and sacrafice your spouse?
Let you do melee, archery, and magic all with one character?

Graphics were pretty good for the time to.

All that shyt was trash tho.

There were much better RPGs on that system, and the original xbox wasn't even known for rpg games.

Game was mid at best.

You could only play as a kid in the beginning of the game and had no real depth to it. The period between child and adult was just used as a long tutorial.

Marriage while a cool concept, was not a big thing overall. You could not even have kids in the first game. Other games before that had marriage in it.

Other games allowed one character to do all three as well.

All people are saying is it is not a 9 or a 10 game, which is very fair.

I haven't heard this name in 20 years.

But yea, I immediately associate it with bullshyt ass claims and bullshyt ass games like Fable. That whole era of gaming was filled with overhyped pseudo-celebrity game designers trying to make a name for themselves. Molyneux, Reggie Fils-Aime, The other nikka from ID games (not John Carmack), even Kojima-san was on that bullshyt from time to time.

Not to mention the overhyped game engines. Remember the Kill Zone shyt? Ushered in the whole nonsense of studios passing cinematic trailers off as gameplay footage. Also ushered in the lack of differentiation between PC games and console games.



I'm forgetting a few.
