For all of it's shortcomings, yes, it's a pretty worthy game. I didn't like the direction the later sequels went.
Agreed. The last two versions of Fable has had some great new things - but they have destroyed what made Fable great originally.
Fable 3 has so much potential. Here's for hoping Fable 4 is better. I guess I can keep dreaming for that casual fable-like game that truely is a dynamic world moreso than a predetermined storyline.

Its funny. I didn't think the first one was all that good, until the last two sequels came out. Its like it just keep looking better and better as more ****tier and ****tier sequels come.

Played the first 3 chapters of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West on PS3 today and so far are loving it. The voice acting, character movements, design, combat it is all really really nice, better than I had hoped. The biggest issue is the frame rate, this game must be running in the low 20's and when coupled with the low textures, it can hamper the overall experience. So in that respect it makes it a little disappointing, but still a very worthwhile game to play.

Finished Dragon Age Origins it was just epic, they did a terrific job in bringing the characters to life, character development is one of the best, the dialogue system is the best one i ever seen quite immersive, gameplay.... oh gameplay i haven't been so absorbed (especially in the last of the dragon fights) the theme, the history the quests, this game was almost perfect for me. The only defects it had for me where: small bugs, nothing game breaking thankfully and some textures where low quality, otherwise this was the perfect game.

And he actually said before Fable 2 launch that he's got plans for Fable III, IV and V. There's an interview with him somewhere at GameTrailers.

Any game becomes redundant after reaching a digit higher than 2, unless it REALLY brings something different, which isn't the case with Fable. Even if the story is different and a few extra things are added, the game has pretty much the same concept and feel.
People often say "Why fix what isn't broken?". My answer is "It becomes boring and stale.".

Wrong. Sequels aren't always just sequels, in some cases their attempts to fix annoyances people had with the previous game and improve on the formula and this should in theory make them preferable over their predecessors, the problem is game devs are very good at then screwing everything else up...or listening to the wrong advice in the first place.

I thought by really different an entirely new direction was meant...
Yeah agreed about the framerate.
Anyways I really enjoyed that game. Hope you do too.

Started playing FFXIII.
I notice a lot of similarities/elements from FFVII.
Started on a train.
First partner is a black guy.
Hero is sort of like a soldier badass, who doesn't speak much.
Let's see how it develops.

Playing Dragon Age Awakening, loving it, though some critters can be quite dangerous, they really improved the two handed warrior in this one (especially giving him a lot of AOE skills), also i'm a fool for not learning haste in my DA: O playthrough, then again i didn't noticed it, weird, but that aside, the new two handed skills this brings forth really improve my berseker-reaver, its total annihilation XD.

Dragon Age 2 - meh/10
Having arrived at Act III of Dragon Age 2 a few hours ago, I can safely say the experience so far has only been "meh".
Sure, it's not a bad game by itself, but it does feel very much rushed.
The constant rehashing of areas and I don't mean just a bit different, it's exactly the same...
And the dialogue is kinda... odd... Some of the choices and Hawke's responses don't exactly match up.
Difficulty wise it's ****ed up. Like I said earlier, "harder" seems to mean "get interrupted to death because you couldn't use a potion in the 10 seconds you were stunlocked".
I can work with the enemies being smarter, like attacking the mages instead of the warriors, but stunlocking is just cheap. Only reason why I never do that approach with any of my rogue characters.
I really enjoy the faster paced combat style though, something the prequel lacked.

Oh, and I met Zevhran! Kewl dude.
Another thing I don't like, you pretty much "need" a tank and a healer if you want to play on anything other than casual/normal, unless you're an RPG god. Can't really use all the characters you really want if you're only "average"...
Yeah, exactly how I felt about the game. About a 7/10 for me.
That said regards the tank and healer thing, I didn't so much dislike this so much as I disliked the fact that you couldn't customize your companions into the role you wanted.

Dynasty warriors 7- 3/10
This is probably the nail in the coffin for this series. If you consider DW3 to be the best of the series (like me) then stay away. The great part of DW3 is that you actually feel like a general in the war. In DW7, you feel like some completely out of place warrior, in death-match style arenas, rather than battlefields. They also took away the strategy components, removed the gate keepers for reinforcements. Can't pick individual characters for musou mode anymore. This game is just terrible now.
