Fable - Final Opinion.
There is no possible way for me to finish Fable. I can't stand the game at all. It's one of the worst games I've ever played. Every last thing about it is broken. The combat fails. It's full of cheap bullshit hits and the collision detection is atrocious. The character moves with all the agility of a sedated oaf. The user interface is beyond poorly designed and is so far removed from being intuitive as to be actively working against you. It's no fun to be surfing through a needlessly complex menu chain to find the item you need to use. There are annoying technical issues like all of the NPCs talking over each other as you wander through the villages. It's great fun listening to three of them talk at once. The game reeks of a PC developer trying his hand at console game design and missing the point entirely. Fable was created by Peter Molyneux. He's one of the more renowned PC developers. He created Populous all those years ago which managed to play fine on the Genesis. He hasn't made a game since that's suitable for the consoles. Mr. Molyneux needs to stick to making PC games where this level of crap is tolerated. I personally feel he has no business making console games.
