More ironic is that it's been claimed game of the year because of its RPG elements. Note I haven't played through much of any Fable, I thought the combat in the first was horrid so I haven't bothered with the series and am just going by the media and what my friends have told me about the game. |
Well, you would know what we are talking about if you had played the game. Fable 2 at the time (remember, it came out like 5 years ago) wasn't a bad game. However, the comments were about his comparison to xenoblade, a very recent game. Comparing a recent game to an older, less well recieved game that is an outlier of the WRPG genre isn't a very good comparison.
As far as the RPG elements, lionhead removed a lot of them for fable 2 and almost completely removed them in fable 3. I would classify the first fable as an action RPG, but fable 2 and 3 I would probably call action/adventure games.
