Fable 3 was actually a decent game.
But while you were doing the quests... Counting down the days... Then once you got to day 120 or something... Boom it accellerated you to day 0 without a warning and the game is about to end on it's climax.
Ironically, it could have been fixed up with DLC or an Expansion pack... It never was.
Plus... If you look at Fable 2, that was a massive overhaul from Fable: The lost Chapters, it took what was good about Fable 1 and made it better. Fable 3 didn't do that, it didn't bring us anything new or innovative to the franchise... It felt more like a rushed cash grab.

Rare could probably do it... But what would have been better is if Microsoft simply kept Lionhead... And gave us a different franchise instead.
Lionhead could make games other than Fable... Like maybe a Black and White 3? Would have been a good break untill they decided on a proper Fable 4 or something.
Sadly, I would think that the bean counters up top made this decision.
| Mr Puggsly said: Just thinking off the type of my head, I think Fable needs to keep the charm but the scale of something like Witcher 3. That could justify a big budget and it would be on PC as well. Edit: The Fable games hold up fine for what they are, action RPGs. The series was never trying to be something Elder Scrolls. Quite frankly, I can't even think of many notable WRPGs. |
I think people are starting to get tired of open world games at the moment, having a more "directed" experience isn't always a bad thing.
Every Fable game has been on PC anyway, except Fable 2. Ironically... Microsoft in it's moronic ways... Has refused to give Valve any more Steam keys for Fable 3, once Fable 3 sold out... That was it.
Microsoft is literally throwing away money by not generating more keys, Fable and Fable: Anniversary often still hit the top of the sales charts when discounted, so I don't understand Microsoft's stance on that issue.
Fable along with Halo for me is what got me into the Xbox Ecosystem to begin with (I had the games on PC too) and is what pulled me towards the Xbox 360, shame those franchises have faltered to various degrees.
