| gergroy said: 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. |
Yes I would know better :P. All I remember is that Sessler and Webb gave Fable 2 game of the year because of its RPG elements, talking to people, being a polygamist, etc. Though a game as highly acclaimed as Fable 2 should be able to stand the tests of time regardless so I think it is fair to compare to Xenoblade, one of the best WRPG this gen vs one of the best JRPG this gen.
