Game: Fable for Xbox

[gibby]

I just recently picked this game up yesterday. I've read some reviews on it which were mostly positive. A coworker has even compared it to Morrowind which was kind of a let down for me since I never got into that game simply cause it bored me the first hour or so. But I decided to give Fable a chance and I bought it.

OMG!!! From the very start, it's simply an amazing game. Granted, this review is only based off of my first 3 hours of play but a good indicator is that I haven't played a game in years which has caused me to want to stay home from work, or lock myself away from my girlfriend, just so I can play this game. So far, the story, the graphics, the interactivity and missions I've done within those first few hours have really gained my interest. The choices they give you which allows you to play your character the way you want to might not be different, but how they implement the gameplay is truly something else.

This game is somewhat similar to Knights of the Old Republic but the interaction between your character and the NPC's have been taken a few steps further. The combat system is also a joy to play as it's more action oriented rather than psuedo-turn based like KOTOR.

I say RPG buffs should definitely pick this game up.

Fable, Alien Hominid and Halo 2 are the only new games I'm definitely planning on buying till 2005. But I'm already overloaded with university as it is, so if Fable is that addicting it will have to wait...

Well, upon reading a few more reviews...you shouldn't worry too much because I heard the main story will take only about 20-30 hours of gameplay. Although, that would have turned me off a few years ago, with my schedule, a short compelling game is more to my liking at the moment.

Damn you. I'm gonna have to go spend money tonight.

Eh, I still have to finish i-ninja, Thief, and the suffering. By that time I'll be all good and ready to fully explore GTA:San Andreas. THEN, I'll pick up fable....probably used.....maybe off of gibby .

i picked it up yesturday and have only devoted 4 hours to it, but its a great game. as far as the main storyline only taking 20-30 hours, oh well. Its not about just "beating the game" as i had an argument with the kind sir at EB Games over. Its all about the side quests and wandering around a huge world where ALL the NPCs react to you.

You just had to remind me of this game.... I just got myself to forget about it, since I spent every thing I had on my Micromag... Any one willing to contribute to my fable fund?

just got it yesterday... I finished the childhood stage, but didn't go very far into training... so far I'm very goody-goody, but i punched the dorky apprentice who laughed at me for not being able to run as fast as him.. so i got a bad-deed point... i also farted in front of some of the women in the Hero's Guild area...

hopefully i can devote some real time to it this weekend...

not uber-impressed with the graphics, but the gameplay seems pretty good, and the camera control/controls are well laid out.

how long till halo 2? i have it on pre-order...

Halo 2 is out November 9th.

Most places that took pre-orders are having an event Nov 8th. My local Gamestop is having a Halo I Lan tournament...

BTW, the 9th is a Friday... Gonna be lots of sick days taken on that one.

Meh. not really an RPG fan myself.

Halo 2 on the other hand, I'm getting the day it comes out and not going to sleep till I beat it.

I've played pretty far.....about 15 hours. I got braces on yesterday, and they we're....umm...hurting, so I had a reason to stay home :). I started out playing the game doing things that I would only do in real life. But then again, I don't have the abilty to shoot lightening from my hand in real life, and some guys laughed at me, so I killed them. And then I killed about 200 guards. I'm fully evil now....I've progressed through the game a lot.....the last cut scene that I saw was at Grey House with my sister, talking about the sword. I don't know how different the game is for all of you, but I'll tell what's happened so far....I killed twinblade, won the arena, killed Whisper, defeated the White Balverine, and I've pulled the sword from the rock. I'm in full plate armor, cept for a dark chain helmet. I have an osidian greatsword with fire and silver augmenations, an ebony bow with peircing augmentation, and I'm one giant tatoo. The best part is, I keep my attractivness up, so I can still get the ladies and be evil. The little horns that popped up on my head are stupid though. I've been married twice, and devorced twice. I own 2 houses, and are currently trying to woo Lady Grey. :)

Awesome game, I love it.

how? what do you have to do beforehand?

[gamarada717]

The only reason that I can think of is because I have level 8 physique. It's like the only thing I ever spend my experience on.
