Is this even worth buying?

I know that this is Fable, and that the entire Fable series in my oppinion so far has been great, but I just can't tell if it's worth it considering all they are changing about it.

I mean, I get that they are trying to make a family based game, but, why?

Why not just turn the Player into a Genie and have them fly around yelling out "poof" and "Kazam", that's exactly what everyone that plays Fable wants to see happen... (Sarcasm, for anyone that didn't pick up on that...)

Not trying to be a critic here, sorry if I give that gesture, actually am asking the question.

By the way, does anyone know what they are going to do to the enemies in the game?
 
Meh. It might prove an entertaining little game -if- you already own Kinect. I mean, it is not a game that manages to sell me a Kinect module. I doubt such a game will ever exist.

But if you do have Kinect, why not?
 
Well... I don't have a Kinect... and don't really plan on getting one...
Still, that's not to say I won't try the game, I just won't use a Kinect, Or buy the Game...

Then I suppose that answers your question then?... Seems your best bet would be to wait for one of your friends to get a Kinect and the game instead.
 
with me, LionHead has finally screwed up. They took away all the interaction with your player, all you see in this new game is your hands! Also, I like myself love the Kinect, but don't want to play through a fable game using it. I want the button tapping i'm used to. If this gets any worse i might have to crawl back to Zelda!
 
Personally, I'm waiting for Fable 4.

I would hate to abandon this franchise, but even rats will leave a sinking ship.

Please, Peter...
 
It isn't worth it to me, because it isn't the type of game I am interested in. Mind, I am NOT one of the Fable I/TLC zealots. In large part, because of the larger world size and the ability to play in couch co-op mode with friends, I enjoyed Fable III far more than I did Fable I, even though there are definitely aspects of the game that I missed from Fable I, and that I feel the developers made a mistake in leaving out of the subsequent games (chiefly, more creatures, more lore, and more control over certain aspects of the game).

But this first person, trail hand business that The Journey is shaping up to be. . . I am just not interested. It looks like it will have some interesting characters and added monsters, and I will be sorry not to learn more about them, but I loved Fable as it was. I loved it more for adding local/couch co-op, more dyes and costume choices etc., and larger regions. I desire more Fable games that expand on everything the first three got right collectively. I am not, however, interested in a game that changes the entire format of the series.
 
Ok I want Fable 4, but this might be fun with the wife .I hope its got multiplayer co-op and theres good and evil choices throughout with different endings..
 
The only way fable: the journey appealed to me and my friends was the stupid idea of riding an imaginary horse and giving an invisible someone a good "ramming" in the middle of the living room.

but then again we were slightly drunk
 
I guess it's like all fable games.

1. You see the comercial
2. You are amazed at how much you can do in the game
3. Buy the game
4. Figure out that you can't do much but kick chickens
5. Cry in the corner for a few hours

But that's just me. I never wanted to play the game so I wouldn't know.
