You should ignore them because reviewers are not real gamers. Sir Peter said so.

"Can everyone please just ignore the reviews about my new game please. Reviewers are not real gamers, they don't play my games properly."

Go back and read the link again. That's why I never consider Twitter reliable source material for articles.

From what I'm hearing there really is nothing wrong with Fable 3 besides the fact there is no challenge. Seems to have gotten a pretty low meta for that.

You should probably just read some reliable reviews from some reliable sites (Giant Bomb, Eurogamer, Edge). Just ignore the score and actually read them. After I read the reviews, I've come to the conclusion that Fable 3 has some serious flaws and they haven't improved on the positives from their last game, it's very fun though and it's dialogue and charm can sometimes outshine it's flaws.

Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

The hell if they haven't! I've actually played the game so I can safely say that a lot of features are massively improved.

How the fucking hell does fable 3 get 8 points less than fable 2 when its superior in every single way!

First of all, the co-op in fable 2 sucked badly, the co-op in fable 3 is fucken amazing! I just got off of it, you can use your own character, find treasures, share deals, get married, do anything! So the mode in which you can play the whole entire game through is better, then how the fuck did the game get rated less?

The story mode on fable 3 is so much better, better story, amazing dialogue, and they actually did make me feel for the characters.

Not to mention, reveiwers are bitching about fable 3's bugs (Which I havent found any yet), and they ignored fable 2's bugs? fable 2 is 1,000 times buggier than fable 3, and that's NOT an exaduration.

fable 3 deserves a 9.3 rating. Why? its the best game in the last two years i think, but like any game, it isnt perfect. It still lags a little in cities, and could use a little polishing, but thats it. nothing gameplay wise i would want to change other than make you do more things to get followers and make the king mode 2-4 times as long. basicaly my only complaint about the game is that it ended. Ignore the fucking review, get fable 3! also, if you can get it cheap i would recommend fable 2 as well, its not as good but it gives you a good feeling about how to play

The same reason why GOW:GOS is getting a significantly lower score than GOW:COO despite being a significantly better game; in other words, reviewers are just stupid. I bet COD:BO will score in the 90s.

This is a radical idea, I know, but have you considered reading the reviews in question to see why Fable III received a lower rating than Fable II?

The pretty number at the beginning/end is the least important part of the review, and this is something which everyone seems to forget, and which annoys me as a reviewer. If we wanted you to make a decision based on a number, we wouldn't spend hours writing and editing a text review.

I came here to say this, pretty much.

Seriously, scores are useless. They only serve as fanboy fuel, and nothing more.

Edit: Lmao at the sour grapes in the comments section of the IGN article.

Sour grapes are to be deserved when the title of the article is flamebait.

See? That's precisely the problem. I bet a good number of the people that are complaining only read the title and score and not the review itself. Bear in mind, although I haven't played the game, from what I've been hearing from my friends IRL it doesn't sound like I can agree with IGN either, but some of the comments in there are just absolutely pathetic.

Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

The only review site i use is IGN, then VGC if I want a 2nd opinion. Ign scored Fable 3 a 9.0, higher than what they scored Fable 2 (an 8 point something, I forget) and VGC captioned their review, which I didn't read, 'Third time's the charm'! Which site u talking bout?

What site are you talking about?

IGN gave Fable III a 8.5 and IGN UK gave Fable III a 8.

http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/113/1130321p1.html

IGN also gave Fable II a 8.8

Edit: In fact there's an editorial about why Fable III fails. http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/113/1130705p1.html

Woah! I read some of the comments and those FABLE fans are seriously pissed off at IGN now. Some of the comments were just basically like "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK you I am never coming to his site again" over and over again.

Whoops, I realised my mistake without even going back 2 ign. I figured I'd come back & apologise but someone would already have pointed it out. And it happened like I guessed it would. I was actually reading that editorial before getting here. I've already decided to buy Fable 3 when I get a 360 and they can't change that but I wonder what their beef is?

Uhm, does anyone at all still care about reviews? I know I stopped doing so a long time ago. My roommates just got Fable III and it looks like great fun to me, I especially like the art style and character models and some of the voiceover is terrific (John Cleese is always win in my book).
