Are we really going to pretend like you're not a homosexual?
The thing is the games were good. They were weird and they didn't deliver maybe on what people expected from them but they were unique and played out pretty interestingly.
>The thing is the games were good.
They really weren't. You couldn't even die in the sequels and in the first game you had to go out of your way to ever die.
then go play a game where you can die easily who gives a frick
>games don't need to have difficulty
Yes.
In fact the majority of games aren't difficult.
>Good is when you did repeatedly
that's why trying to maintain a prince charming/hot girl hero is the hardest difficulty in Fable - if you don't die you get no scars
>You couldn't even die in the sequels
no shit, Fable 2 gets a fricking rimjob by every cuckold on this board, but it's pretty bad. bad game.
i'm going to agree with you on this one.
it put fun new stuff in the game, but forgot like half the fun stuff from the first game.
got rid of the bosses, and only gave us "big enemy that later will become a mob". that was bullshit, and they ported it to fable 3 too.
gave us reaver, but not enough reaver, nor the other heroes, in that regard.
being morally evil wasn't half as rewarding as it was in Fable 1.
and what is with the ending choice too, a bunch of money, everyone comes back to life, or your little dog companion back.
the story beats seem like they were just Fable 1 but worse. at one point you get jailed up in the spire like the prison sequence from the first one.
there's also points where it seems like you're a side character and npcs are the main characters instead. Fable 2 felt nice to try the first time, but eventually I think if you're being objective about it you have to admit it's kinda terrible.
2 would be remembered less fondly if it wasn't for the fact that 3 exists, I think
get a job and stop trying to seek challenging fulfillment or whatever from a fricking video game. yes some hard games are very good but hardness itself is not a critiera for why a game is good or not
The first one is one of the worst games I’ve ever played, I beat it in like three hours and something like 2/3 of the promised features didn’t make it in.
Two first were good if you liked to be peacefully
It was comfy and had soul and the Microsoft execs stopped Peter Molyneux from being woke.
I'd be shocked if thousands of millennials and zoomers didn't have fond memories of the games
CHICKEN CHASA’
Hottest contrarian take. Just kidding, loser.
I have fun with them 🙂
I feel bad for people who didn't get to chill with this game back in the day when the days were slower.
it was magic back in the day. Great game to play as a kid.
The first one was really good.
Second one was decent.
Third one was awful.
What does that tell you?
It's hard to even comprehend how fricking awful this reboot is going to be.
>What does that tell you?
That everything originates from an original perfect form or divine spark and that each iteration or copy is more grounded in the material world and thus more flawed.
Maybe some of you forgot the extent of how much Peter Molyneux lied about this game. Most people on here are hypocrites with major double standards to ignore it all. You'll even give Sean Murray/Hello Games shit for falsely advertising NMS, despite them actually atoning for it in some way. That's not what happened here, and yet this game is praised.
I wasn't old enough to keep up with the news or at least retain it but I enjoyed the final product when it released. I'm not saying that he isn't a POS for lying but he did release a finished product. he at least deserves that credit
Todd Howard gets called a lying piece of shit all the time by anons here but they fail to realize Peter lied way harder than Todd ever did. Anons don't remember or maybe they were too young back then but the promises about Fable had me believing this shit was going to be the greatest game of all time. The promises that were broken were staggering. Perhaps the most famous of promises was being able to plant a tree and from that tree a Forrest would grow in the game world over time. The fricker promised this super immersive almost scientific in how it worked fantasy RPG that didn't come anywhere close to delivering on those promises.
>Perhaps the most famous of promises was being able to plant a tree and from that tree a Forrest would grow in the game world over time.
for real? He was 100% not a programmer then. If a designer told me to program that, I would quit right then and there
You still have a responsibility to not lie about projects you are working on. Especially when you are the lead producer. Peter did this all the time until he spiraled down into irrelevancy. Too bad for him he was just a bit too early in his career I think. Had he came around now he'd probably thrive even better than he did back then. What the hell is he even up to these days? Last I remember of him was his moronic internet game.
He was literally the ideas guy that was given chances to lead development on games. His games are still good but he was definitely a massive hype man first and foremost.
If only Molyneux hadn't crashed and burned BEFORE gamergate, he would literally be running the industry today. Any complaints about fable could have been dismissed as extremism and harassment.
Todd could never hope to match Molyneux's dishonesty. There's a reason Molyneux isn't even in the industry anymore.
On the other hand, Fable did things that still haven't been implemented in other games. Like the technology for holding hands and walking around with other NPCs, most modern games don't give you remotely the same amount of freedom of interaction with NPCs that fable did.
I've made a list of known lies about fable 1. Some of what I've listed here is hard to find in quotes nowadays mainly because a lot of this got lost with the old internet when certain sites shut down, there's a video below that backs one of these points up.
>"Yes, you'll be able to plant an acorn and then watch it grow into a magnificent Oak tree throughout the course of the game."
>One of the lionhead devs posted about the game on their fourms saying he got lost in the woods for multiple game days apparently while searching for a legendary weapon (exaggerating the game's scale)
>you can marry and have children
>You can have children that will become the main playable character if your main character dies
>you can go anywhere: no fenced areas
>you can do virtually anything (moly gave examples of poisoning a town's water supply or burning down a house with someone inside it)
>Going out at night will turn your skin pale like a vampire if you don't get enough sunlight/stay out night all the time
>NPCs can "steal" your open quests and complete them before you do
>gangs of villagers will hunt you down once you become famous/infamous
>you can carve your initials into a tree and see them ten years later
>your behavior as a child will have a big impact on the future of Albion
>every leaf of every tree being a physics object
>every tree in the game being made to be completely different
>A revenge system; the sons of those you had killed would, eventually, grow and train to become lethal warriors, tracking you down for vengeance.
>Real time aging, including deaths due to natural causes
>Your enemies would attack your family/house if you became a noble hero
>you would grow from a child to adult (in reality it was just an in game tutorial that lasted for a short duration)
a lot of that stuff is extremely ambitious even by todays standards
You had to be either an extremely young kid or room temp IQ adult to believe any of this shit. He was making similarly ridiculous claims about BC around the same time and that got cancelled.
I feel hook, line and sinker for his bullshit. I was 13.
Shit I read about it in a gaming magazine. Why would a magazine lie?
>You had to be either an extremely young kid
Well yeah i was at the time. Or close to early teenager. So i was reading gaming news on the internet and video game magazines by that point. Two more lies i vaguely remember, but can't list as known lies because i have a harder time remembering his wording of it is: Peter telling you that you could turn into a into a balverine. Another is that you could take any weapon, make it amazing and powerful, and the weapon itself would become famous.
Molineux being a sack of shit has little to do with the charm Fable ended having. I was mad for a decade tho.
>be me
>15 yo
>buy xbox magazines
>see fable advertisement, review and even guide
>like what i am reading
>buy game
>enjoy it a lot
Sounds like a you problem
>Sounds like a you problem
It's a me problem that Peter lied so much, sure. You'll never address that laundry list i gave. That stuff about poisoning a town's water supply was something that Peter actually said. I was following Lionhead's every PR event for the game.
For those of us who didn't read the promised goods and just played the game it was good.
>read peter's lies for the 1st one
>fast forward like 2-3 years for it's release
>had forgotten literally everything he said
>game was actually good and only after I went back and checked did I notice how much bullshit he said
Still a great game
This I don’t give a shit about dev drama if the games good.
the only lie most people remember is the tree
Yeah, because a lot of the lies got buried. Most of the internet you know from back around the time Fable released is completely gone, you'd be surprised about how you can't find anymore. You have to go through Wayback Machine just to find a small fraction of it really, and even then you can't find everything and it's just a limited snapshot. I'm right to call out hypocrisy though because even on their own forums at Lionhead they got called out for the excessive lies at the time. There's a lot of old forum threads i can't show you because it's just not backed up anyway.
sounds like an honest guy
>sounds like an honest guy
No he wasn't honest, it was damage control. He's good at wording public statements to make himself look sincere and genuine. If he was an honest guy then the lies wouldn't have continued into the next game's development either.
I've always did kinda felt Peter was an overly ambitious guy at first
his biggest downfall to me was when he made that block game and hyped people up for what the reveal was
YOUR HEALTH IS LOW!
DO YOU HAVE ANY POTIONS? OR FOOD?
They weren't very good honestly, but they were unique and memorable in a time games were getting a bit stale. Even ignoring Molineux's bullshit, it was (and still is) easy to see how you could take the first Fable game and improve it's more lacking qualities while keeping it's quirks.
Then 2 happened. And then then Fable 3 happened.
What I'm trying to say is that it was a franchise full of obvious potential that was never really fulfilled. Trying to recapture that, so many years after the original, and with a new studio is a recipe for disaster.
First game had cool magic powers. You can slow time to a crawl, teleport behind the enemy, scream to go kaioken and force push the enemy before it realizes what happened and then as it's flinged in slow time electrocute it to death.
I like how the berserk spell made you onehand two-handed weapons.
TRY TO GET YOUR COMBAT MULTIPLIER EVEN HIGHER
Of course like usual Ganker will pretend so because mutt girl is getting so much discussion and now people will pretend like this "good ole timey franchise from the golden days" has been defiled, I'm sorry I meant to say "pozzed" by BlackRock ESG quotas.
the funny thing is that back then it was Microsoft fighting to keep Molyneux from pozzing Fable.
lost chapter is good
no, but it was fun to play.
and back in the day, that was good enough.
Graveyard was K I N O
Exactly like black and white, Fable had ok-ish gameplay but loads of novelty things nobody had done before, oozed potential and charm, and were fricked first by Molineux being a lying c**t and then by disappointing sequel(s)
they may not be perfect, but goddamn they had pure britbong sovl to them, especially 1 and 2
If Fable 1 came out today on PC as a brand new game, journalists would hate it but Ganker would be calling it the best game ever made
Big Blue Box was the only reason the series was good. 2 and 3 were not well made and at best fun at times.
I will now go back to getting master gear from traveling salesmen before starting any quests
I remember cucking that black dude and marrying that hot baronness who murdered her sister.
I absolutely adore Fable/Lost Chapters
Having played only 2, i remember the fighting mechanics were piss easy but getting money and doing property management was actually peak kino. Roleplaying as a landlord was legit more fun than being a hero.
My fondest memories were slaughtering entire villages in the Lost chapters so I could buy up the land, eventually realizing (because I couldn't just kill them) that by making NPCs follow me and then abandoning them to die then I could buy the Bowerstone properties as well.
I played em when I was a kid and they were pretty awesome games. I was a kid tho. You just grow up. Doesn't mean its bad.
>fable was never good
>she’s not ugly
>fables always had ugly characters
>she looks like that on purpose it’s a joke
>you’re racist
>you’re a misogynist
>it will have character creation
>why do you care
>it’s their game they can do what they want
These are the copes from just the last couple days.
why does Fable make snoy seethe so much, settle down
Don’t deflect with moronic console shit butthole, I like Fable and this reboot looks like shit.
>Are we really going to pretend like the Fable series was ever good?
As someone who never heard about the hype before they came out (my intro was actually Lost Chapters).
Yes, they were great.
Fable 1 is a deeply flawed but very unique game. In an industry as stagnant as AAA gaming is, I'd say that that alone justifies it's status.
Fable 2 was meh, Fable 3 never happened and Molyneux's crimes, while heinous, have prescribed by this point
Fable, Fable 2, Black and White 1/2 feel like a fever dream at this point.
They’re all fun games I don’t give a shit what Peter promised.
only really enjoyed the first one, and that was mostly as "babby's first western RPG". I don't think I would enjoy it much at all going back to it now
I bought a xbox of my very own to play fable at release.
Fable is only good if there's BIPOC representation.
Are you going to stop being a paid shill for those street shitters at Microshaft?
Another loose lie that comes to mind about Fable 1 is Peter Molyneux saying the towns would repopulate over longer periods of time. The journos mentioning the acorn is really only the tip of the iceberg and the most simplistic feature they decided to touch upon because that's the only one Peter addressed and apologized for.
dont forget the fable 2 collectors edition, so wanted that frickin hobbe
>another thread where anonymous trolls try to smear Molys good name
>good name
Nothing personnel Peter, just shouldn't have made up all those game features. The acorn will forever be the bane of your existence.
But the one you posted is a great game though?
>>npc accidently gets caught in battle instance
>>i kill
boo
>>i dance
>>they cheer
kino as frick
