Wasn't Fable that übershort game for X-box? A friend of mine (who is not into RPG's btw) finnished THAt one in eight hours. If it's the same game that is...

Übereil

That would be it.

I'm really looking forward to it, wether it will be short or not <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Seriously..... only eight hours???
That's about seven dollars and fifty cents an hour... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />
Is it really THAT good?????

C'mon yer jokin' me........ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

if you can play an rpg out in 8 houres (in an normal way), it isn't a rpg!
that's the main reason as a kid that i bought rpg games,
because i could enjoy that game for weeks even months for the same a mount of money.

i remember i was soo disapointed that i bought that game probotector for the NES (great game) but you could play it out in like...1 houre <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

the longest game was zelda1, when i realized there was a second gamemode after you finnished gannon off <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />

I really enjoyed Fable on the x-box, but yes it really is that short.

3 days max to complete it, and that's if you don't have any 5+ hours sessions on it. Otherwise it's 2 days.

You're only talking aboutt he main quest, I hope.....

How long is all the side stuff?

We all know PC version will have 1/3 more content of the ENTIRE 100% of the game, which would include all the mains, sides, optional, and Demon's Door questing stuff.

Well any game you can rush through in 7 hours is rubbish, not to mention that Peter Molyneux omitted three quarters of the stuff he promised.
I find it pathetic that they Lionhead are now releasing Fable "as it should've been" for PC and not patching the Xbox version.

Heya Death, where have you been <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />?

You guys are all exagerating big time.Theres knowway any of you beat this game in 7 hours.Ive played it through 3 times, and by the last time i was still clocking in at 12 hours and thats rushing through everything.Is it short?? yes but its not friggen 7 hours short gimme a break.

And death who really cares whats promised to us as long as the game was good and it was that.Cutting out 3/4 of what was promised pleasse explain this because that is another exaggeration.Fable was deffinitley much more fun then the stagnet world of KOTOR.

Yes it was short no doubt but there are still more rpg elements in it then any other Xbox title out there with the exception of Morrowind.

I did read an article where there were somethings cut out but 3/4?? lmao whatever

I fear there will be many people who will disagree with you on your KotOR point of view, myself included.

Fable was supposed to:
- Have villagers grow up and change as you progress.
- Be the "Greatest RPG of all times", according to Peter Molyneux
- Have people trying to be like you
- Have other heroes (NOT part of the storyline) you can compete against at any time
- Have a wide world to explore and go wherever you want instead of sticking to roads
- Little loading
- Loads of unique and original sidequests

Now, Fable had little freedom, no village changes, no young fans of your character, no real competition against other heroes, plenty of load-times, very repetitive quests. Also, it was far from "The greatest RPG ever".
You like it? Fine. However that does not give you the right to say "U ALL SUK CUZ FABLE PWNZ".

Yeah, "lmao whatever" to you too.

Some of those are legitimate gripes but the best rpg ever??If you havent noticed by now they all say that.I never mentioned to anyone that they sucked.I never said fable was the best ever either. i said it was a good game that didnt live up to the hype but it was a good game nonetheless.

Please dont talk about loading times when i could eat a peanut butter sandwich before KOTOR loaded lol.So are you at the belief that all games deliver everything they promise?? If you are then your in the dark. every game thats ever comeout has left things out they promise.

As i recall you could go anywhere you wanted except quest areas after you got bout an hour or so into the game.Also the quests maynot have been great but they were way better then the boring quests you got in KOTOR.Ya many will dissagree with me but many will also agree.

Ill be the first to admitt i was kinda dissapointed in it, but if you played it not listening to the hype it was a super solid game period.Advice to you dont listen to the hype and judge a game by what it does have and not what it doesnt thanks

At least the game was worth the wait. Fable was not.

Few games deliver everything they promised, however in most games have at least half of what you expected. I mean you won't be happy if you open a can of sardines and find anchovies instead, will you?

As long as you liked KOTOR thats all that matters i guess i just wasnt a big fan of it.I think its pointless to argue what games better i just feel like the hype is what killed Fable, and its to bad because without the hype it would have gotten much better reviews then what it got.

It actually reminded me alot of Zelda and i didnt think Zelda was a bad thing.

I honestly never liked Zelda, but then I have played only the SNES/Gameboy(s) versions of the game.

I did find KotOR amazing, despite not being a big fan of Star Wars.
Yes, hype may kill a game, however not enough advertisement does too. I am now playing Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders for Xbox. I simply can't stress enough how I love this game. Sure some voice-overs are off, however an unknown company in Korea can't provide Bioware-quality voices. Nevertheless, KUF surpasses both Myth and Total War games it draws on. Sadly, as I said previously, it came unnoticed by the majority of gamers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />.

talk about hype, guys, i can attest to that. i think i may be the only one who prefers Westwood's C&C games to Blizzard's (whatever)-Craft though many may point out so many logical advantages Blizzard has over Westwood. the most important thing to me is FUN factor. doesn't matter if it's gorgeous or finely balanced & impossible hard to win (therefore to say the AI is superior?). all i want in games are fun.

& hype killed C&C games (particularly Tiberian Sun) in ways that people expect too much which of course no game can ever overcome.

i have yet to play Fable & for my own sake since i love RPG, i hope Fable for pc will turn out right. as for KOTOR's slow loading, i fail to see that happen to me on my mediocre Athlon 1800+ with 384MB RAM. & for KOTOR2, it loads even faster. i barely even fart (& that's another story) that i have my savegame loaded. KOTOR's faults (if i am to nitpick) are too few quests (they may be standard fare but not as boring, i felt) & too few worlds to explore plus the sometimes clunky movements. KOTOR 2 has even less problems with much much more great thing in it. if u want RPG that makes u think with quests not typical plus not wrong/right with plenty of grey areas, KOTOR 2 is it. sadly lucas arts rushed it so much that obsidian couldn't finish the last part as well as they liked. still it is the best RPG so far i've played & i'm not talking about RPGs only for this year or the last. one of the best ever.

sad about Fable's over-hype but Peter Moleynoux should've learnt to shut up & only speak when it's advantagous. i love that guy's games but he shouldn't brag. not when it's too soon. this is why i always cautioned Larians to take care not to over-hype when it's too early to do so.

@ death -> thanks for the heads-up. i'll try KUF demo as soon as i download it.

Hey, you won't be the only person on earth to prefer C&C to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />-craft games. I myself agree with you.
As for Peter Molyneux, I just think his mouth is too big for his own good. Both B&W and Fable turned out to be boring titles. I have no hopes left for his Movies game.

KUF is X-box only. The PC game is a prequel and is pretty average <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />.

PC trailer is out now:
