Has anyone else played this steaming pile of boring? Girlfriend and I saw it suggested as "similar to borderlands" on Xbox Live... not only is it nothing even near the genre of Borderlands, it's the most boring, utterly thoughtless game I've ever played.

The story is the most derived, overdone thing I've ever heard - You're the brother of the king who's gone mad and have to lead a revolution blah blah.

The combat is utterly ridiculous - You get one button for magic, one for your sword and one for a gun. Mash them to win. No effort required.

There's absolutely no problem solving or trying to find anything in the game, no, a large sparkly trail leads you to each one of your goals, making the game as linear as possible and keeping you from getting sidetracked by the utterly boring environment around it.


Honestly, if you see this game on discount for $3 next to a home enema kit... get the enema kit, you'll have more fun.

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Dude, how can you say that? It's come such a far way from Fable II! There's... well...

...no matter what some characters hate you once you win the game, that's different, right? :|

And... lemme think, there were always lightning hands... uh... hero of time... save the president...

This game stood no chance with me because I still can't kill Reaver.

~sigh~
I'm probably just going to have to settle for killing the entire creative staff of Fable 2.

I don't think he needs to be immortal. I think all he needs to do is to write the right story. Because some stories do live forever.

Of course it's nothing like Borderlands. Who on earth would say such thing. Fable 3 is awesome in every way. So is Borderlands. They are awesome in different ways :)

Xbox Live says they are alike, as I said.

And no, it's not awesome at all. It's literally the most boring game I have ever played, and I've played Excitebike.

normal day at Lionhead studios

Creative Lead: "So, how about, instead of a pause screen, with options accessible through a simple button click, lets make it a seperate map! with multiple rooms, depending on what you're doing! and you just go there whenever you pause!"

*design team cries*

also, Excitebike is my jam
