Highlight it to read....

Fable 3 is basically Fable 2.5, just as people had feared, sure its interesting with a couple of new things and a new approach to the story, but it is no different than most game franchises nowadays... crank out another with recycled content and engine then hope for another $60 cash in.

I'm already crowned, I'd say if you really wanted to rush, the first half of the game is 5 hours max... the second half... well probably another 5 hours tops.

The weapon morphing system is completely ridiculous, you can't buy base weapons, you just get one of each and that's it. They morph every time you open a combat level chest, so 1-5 stars, they morph 4 times. Instead of morphing based on what you think it'd do, its almost random. It will take an action you did a lot before opening the chest at random and morph your weapon accordingly and yes I mean random. As far as I know there's no way to reset it or morph a new weapon, so to get a weapon you want you'd have to 1) Repetitively load and open the chest to look at the parts every time or 2) Replay the game entirely. When someone figures out how to customize your morph properly, please let me know because this sucks pretty hard. Each custom weapon has 4 morphs essentially, the Hilt, the Blade, the Runes, the "Color".

Blacksmith only sells "named" weapons, so I guess they're all "legendary", each legendary has 3 features you can "level" by performing the action on it.

The 3D gui is just a huge waste of time, its no different than a standard menu represented in a 3D form, its nothing innovative as practically every other game has this type of action in some form. Can't see what potions or gems you have either, gotta go to a pawn shop to see your own damn items.

Without a PC version and mods, Fable 3 has some new features that are merely major annoyances

It's not really Fable 2.5 (really, no) and it's not as short as you say it is but everything else is close to true. The overhyping of the morphing system has me annoyed, mainly. :|

rek2k, we have this wonderful feature on the site known as "spoiler tags". as the name suggests, they are used to cover up any spoilers so that people who are not yet aware have the option of not seeing said information. while i appreciate your efforts by making your font white, it would be much easier on all of us if next time around you put a [*spoiler] before and [*/spoiler] after your plot or secret revealing posts (without a *). when done correctly, it should look like this:

DARTH VADER IS THE FATHER OF LUKE SKYWALKER

I wouldn't care if he posted this a few days after release but he just ruined the entire ****ing game for all of us.

This isn't ban worthy from what I can tell. It says highlight to read, I didn't highlight, I didn't read. If you guys really can't realise that, then you're stupid.

As for the OP, I haven't played it yet, so I can't determine whether it is a let down; however, I can safely say, if you got caught up in the hype, it's your own fault. Fable TLC, and Fable 2 were both let downs if you were a follower of the game.

EDIT:

No he didn't. You had to highlight. Stop being a douche.

Honestly it's not ruined for me at all, most of this stuff I already found out about myself, but I still want to play the games because

By what I read, it seems that they've posted their own opinion of the game. If they even have it. They might just be a troll. Shouldn't matter though. He has a right to his own opinion.

The rest of us can enjoy the game when it's released. :)

EDIT: Also...nothing was really "spoiled". He didn't reveal anything.

I don't think the OP has actually played the game, by the by.

^ Beside the point. If he really hasn't, then he's just being stupid. People like Jace etc. that immediately jumped and reported the post for no legitimate reason are the real douchers in this thread.

I didn't highlight it either but it was inappropriate to post any kind of spoiler before the true release dates (especially when even if you post in white the post preview you get when you hover over the title still shows up black) plus if it wasn't someone who just got here I might be less angery but to literally step into the forums just to throw sand in peoples faces... yeah that ****es me off!

...nooooo. There's no rules against posting spoilers, as long as you keep it hidden so that it is choice to see it. And nevermind that he's new, you've been here for what? 13 days? Not even 2 weeks. As far as I'm concerned, you've just stepped into the forums, you haven't read the rules, and you're being more annoying that he is.

Excuse me do you know who your talking to? I didn't think so, Treat carefully.
*tread carefully.

And I'm sorry, was that a threat? You're a newbie here, so I'll let you off, but seriously, you're making a fool of yourself. You're threatening people over the internet on a forum you don't know? That's very pathetic.

Yet very laughable.

And Jace, don't double post.

@ Mr. Natas, I have absolutely nothing wrong with the thread. I have chosen not to rad the spoiler because I do not want to spoil the game. I realise that by posting this I am derailing the thread, and for that, I am sorry to the OP.
