It’s important to say right from the get-go that I didn’t love Fable 3. I liked it in a lot of ways, and boy was I happy to hear Stephen Fry’s dashingly dapper Reaver lambast everyone in his immediate vicinity with insults that were dour and spirited in equal measure. But it was a real departure from the sheer debauchery that Fable 2 paraded around.

There are a bunch of fairy tales to be found inside of the Land of a Thousand Fables, including Little Red Riding Hood and Thumbelina, among others. This is especially strange, and Facial Mapping Technology fans wonder why this is the case since the Land of a Thousand Fables is such a small sp

Bungie has come under fire recently for their choices regarding the future of Destiny . Delivering one of the biggest expansions yet with a plot ruining spoiler wasn't an option. Luckily, the marketing spiked interest without giving away big chunks of cont

Let’s also remember that Fable 3’s dog companion extends far beyond the contemporary "Can you pet the dog?" phenomenon that seems to have been adopted as a marketing tactic for new and upcoming games. In Fable 3 you can teach your dog tricks, and 30 seconds later it will rip an enemy’s throat out. This disparity is par for the course for Fable 3, which is a game that seems to have amassed every existing genre into its massively hodgepodge makeup. Fable 3 is The Sims. Fable 3 is Dishonored. Fable 3 is Grand Theft Auto. You can use your magical affinity to protect innocent people from hordes of vindictive monsters, or you can pump the rent prices in Aurora up so high that people can’t even afford to buy vegetables in the worst place on earth. You can marry someone, absorb their assets, and then file for immediate divorce. They won’t be happy about it, and the game’s morality system will have its due impact on you — but you can do it. It’s a life simulator, a fantasy RPG, a tycoon management game, a rom-com, and every single thing in between. Sometimes it’s too much — how do you even begin to reconcile all of that in a coherent way? But most of the time it’s actually genuinely smart. It’s just not Fable 2, and people — including 14-year-old me — hated that.

Along with the typical benefits of being a PS Plus subscriber, the PlayStation Plus Collection lets fans download some of the biggest and best games ever released for the PS4. This includes many high-quality PS4 exclusives and even some of the more significant third-party releases. And while the PlayStation Plus Collection is off to a great start, there are quite a few games that could make it even bet

The reveal definitely served its purpose in building up a lot of attention just before the holiday season. But this marketing came at the sacrifice of so many great plot points. Some fans felt the move a bit little shallow -- especially the hardcore fans who wanted to go in bl

One of the most glaring omissions from the PS5 PlayStation Plus Collection lineup is Horizon Zero Dawn . After all, the PS Collection features PS4 exclusives that released more recently than Horizon Zero Dawn , which originally launched all the way back in 2017. Maybe Horizon Zero Dawn 's absence can be explained by Sony not wanting to potentially hurt the sales of the PC port, but whatever the case may be, it seems like an inevitability that Horizon Zero Dawn will join the service at some point down the line. Perhaps fans can hope to see Horizon Zero Dawn come to the PS Plus Collection lineup shortly before Horizon Forbidden West launches in 20

That’s the thing — I love the Fable dog, and I love the art. I love the devil horns and the tricksy little gnomes. But I don’t think Fable 2 was like Fable, so I’m not sure why so many people were annoyed about Fable 3 not being Fable 2: Again. That’s why I was annoyed, as well as pretty much anybody I asked about it. But in hindsight, it makes very little sense to me — I would hope that the new Fable game in development isn’t just a rehash of Fable 2. I’d hope that it takes a lot of its lessons — for better and for worse — from Fable 3.

If these people and monsters are sentient, then why haven't they yet figured out a way to leave the Land of a Thousand Fables and enter the real world? It can be assumed that since these creatures are technically illusions, they aren't conscious in the same way that most people in The Witcher universe are; however, this remains uncl

The Daichi is currently one of the best overall weapons in the Fable franchise . It has an outstanding 96 damage stat, while being lighting fast, and is equip with the best combination of augments in the game. This weapon is acquired by completing a dungeon quest-line located close to Brightwood To

Fable 3 is a weird game to look back on, mostly because it’s largely confined to the Molyneux meme playground. It’s easy to look at it and think of it as the product of, "What if there was a game that had you as the powerful protagonist, which actually focused not on the means of attaining your power, but on the mundane responsibilities that follow it?" Ultimately, that’s a huge part of what Fable 3 is. It’s not a headlong rush to a climactic battle where the good guys win. It’s not about slaying a dragon with your level 100 magical sword. In a lot of ways it’s actually quite tricky — its inherent humor almost encourages you to be as cheeky as possible, and you reckon you can swindle everyone into helping you defeat the Big Bad at the end of the game. But that’s not the end of the game, and nobody really cares that you saved the world because you fleeced them to do it.
