The fact that Fable 2 never got a PC port is nothing short of criminal.
Agree. I also feel the same about Gears of War 2. I no longer have any way to play these games anymore.
I remember in Fable 1 there is a skill that allows you to replace your HP bar with your mana bar. So enemies can't damage you until they deplete your mana. As a result, I made a character that didn't level up any physical skills (thus was quite frail looking) and put everything into magic and archery. The result was an unkillable old man character that couldn't swing a hammer but could one shot everything in the game with a crossbow.
Speaking of bows, I also remember that bow damage in Fable 1 was based off of how long you held the button down. From what I recall, there is no cap, as I have fond memories of friends and I listening to songs on the radio while holding the button down the entire time, then releasing it after several minutes to deal massive bow damage. Good times.
Holding down the bow for 3 min was the best way to get xp for the demon door that requires 25x hit multiplier
@@gkkk2735Tnx, I was never able to open that demon door when I played the game......almost 20 years ago 😂
I had a roommate that would buy fable (it was new at the time), play through it, and then sell it to gamestop. Then about a month later would buy a used copy, beat the game and resell it. It made no sense, but he wouldn't listen to me when I told him to just keep the game.
My only guess to this thought process is maybe he was just so used to renting movies, like watching them and bringing it back, but with a game..strange indeed.
Wait you can keep video games??
@@kaidorade1317 Wait, what fuckin' year am I in, dude...?
@bounceycake
In strange timeline where Game Pass have taken over and became the one and only platform I guess?
He was a m0r0n.
The most popular game about "real estate market". And it also has some RPG elements.
great farting system too
I loved the original Fable when I was a kid. I still remember being like 14 and playing this for the first time back when it released.
Hey buddy. Love your pic😘
I've played Fable 1 about a hundred times over the long years probably, but I haven't played it in the last 6 or 7 years. It's one of my all time favourites and I was 11 when it released, got it from a friend as a christmas gift that year. Over the years, the more I played it the more I was convinced that the game was a Real Estate simulator with a story on the side & RPG elements. I spent so much more time planning murders in order to free up homes to buy and rent than I spent gearing up and powering up my character. If say you've spent 100 hours playing the game, you've probably spent 80 to 85 of those hours being a cutthroat real estate agent and the rest of the time finishing the story, because it wasn't long.
Probably lol, I apparently 100% this in about 25 hours back in 2014 when the anniversary edition dropped
".....Ooh you must be The chicken chaser!..." cracks me up every time 😂😂😂..., an absolutely charming game despite it's age now
Oh man, the game that defined my childhood, all time favorite. Just so charming and engrossing, never had an experience like that since.
Kingdoms of amalur I felt could have been a fable of game, for me it had a similar feel in many aspects
Yes! They should have put more of the npc interaction and real waste market and family stuff in there. It could have been just like Fable
It had pretty similar vibes, there wasn't a morality system but you could usually get the choice to be a paragon or a dick or somewhere in between with choices in almost every questline.
Great game ❤
Between Xbox, PC, and Steam I couldn't count how many times I've played this game. It's 100% my comfort game. For those that don't like the Anniversary changes, I think you can still get the TLC version on Steam as well.
While 2 and (definitely) 3 don't hold up as well, I still enjoy revisiting them on occasion. But 1 is a game I'll always go back to.
The soundtrack from Russell Shaw is one of my favorite.
I had quite a similar memory of the Fable trilogy (i.e. very fond memories of the first, not so much of the sequels), but was quite surprised upon replaying recently to find just how much more I preferred the second game when separating nostalgia.
The third was basically as I remembered, but with better music than I gave it credit for.
Will be following this review trilogy! Can never get enough of the Fables!
This was a childhood gem back in the day, it’s such a base (and I say that to mean…idk foundational?) experience for a child on the typical hero’s journey. I love that “hero” is more of a neutral job in this game, instead of a good guy title exclusively.
This was one of my favorites growing up, this and Black and White 2 I recall being my first 'proper' games back in the day.
I played this game 18 years ago. I remember almost nothing of it, but I do remember having a lot of fun!
Hell yeah, didn't think I'd get to wake up this morning, eat a banging breakfast burrito my wife made me, and get to watch a Fable review by Mort.
Fable 2 is the best one out of all the Fable games! and the highest rated one also😁you should try to give Fable 2 a second chance! and if you don't own an Xbox you can play it with The Xbox Cloud on PC.
I will be, I will have to grab it via streaming yeah. 3 I luckily own on steam from before they pulled it
I just started playing this game yesterday and now you upload a video on it. Funny how that worked out
Loved Fable growing up.. replayed it numerous times.
Crazy, i just started playing this again last week after many years away, I had no idea there was a reboot coming! Fable 2 was my favorite, and I played it with my wife last year. I think Fable 2 is the ultimate form of this concept, but there is something really comfy and charming about the simplicity and brokenness of the original. Masterpiece!
Fable and Halo were the two main games I loved my OG xbox for from Xbox themselves. Those along with Morrowind was such a great time
My first RPG. absolutely brilliant game
NO WAY I LITERALLY JUST STARTED OLAYING THIS LOL ANOTHER BANGER FROM MORTY G
I loved and still love Fable. Even at its time, it was already considered outdated in many ways but it has its charm, similar in a way to the old Blizzard titles. Not the best game objectively but one I keep coming back to after all those years.
I'm doing the same! I'm heading towards the finale and so far it's been okay. Not a huge fan of the combat and quest system, but I'm still glad I tried it.
I played this game a lot as a teenager back in the day! I'm looking forward to your review.
I remember everything about fable 1.. but have almost no memory of the other 2, even though I was super stoked upon their releases. First one is basically a core memory.. but I was 20
I have the same opinion about the Fable series that I have about Dragon Age, in that I really only like the first one lol. I really hope the new Fable is good.
The Lost chapter was one of the game I replayed the most in my childhood so it will forever be in my heart, I still somewhat enjoyed 2 and 2 but I felt they lost too much in the variety I'd mechanics and the changing atmosphere compared to the weird whimsy of TLC.
I didn't have much hope for the new one till the latest trailer, that one impressed me a bit more, we'll see when we get a gameplay showcase
@federicocasali1565 tlc was just fun. I didn't enjoy the combat in 2, and I'll be honest. I was hoping for a big epic jack of blades style boss fight. 3 is just a real estate simulator.
@@CarnageO31 Same here, TLC's combat isn't my favourite either but it had more going for it with plenty more options, and the combo system gave you an incentive to play well or smart at least
Ahh the game that started my love of RPG’s.. Happy to see you circle back to this one King 👑
Man I looooved fable 2 in the day, though not sure how well it holds up. Need to get my hands on an Xbox to play it again
Mort only plays on PC, maybe he has a way of getting it?
If you pay for gamepass ultimate you can play on pc via cloud streaming of the console library (its not in the normal pc gamepass library)
I just replayed Fable 2 recently, like 2 months ago, and it was a lot worse than I remembered. You have infinite mana and no cooldown on skills, so you can just basically spam AoE stun attacks like Lightning and chain CC all enemies, making the game trivial. The exploration and quests were very meh, the interactions with NPC more like a chore. Honestly the third game wasn't much better in that regard. Just button mashing non-sense and a super simplified good vs. evil story. I still think the first game is the best, but even that one has issues.
Let's see if the new Fable is any good. I'm not holding my breath.
Ah good old Fable. Even if I first encountered it with 2, despite owning an OG Xbox, I have played it since, adn enjoyed it
Got into Fable really late into its run only playing the third one. I look forward to the reviews to how the first two were and looking forward to the new game.
The remastered graphics don’t impress me much. The original had far more pop to its colours.
I think its because of the lighting. The old character models look weird with the new lighting.
If they made an HD remake of Fable 2 I bet it would sell well today. It was such a fun short RPG that has a lot of sim things that are trending now. Buying and decorating your house, getting a wife and family and a kick ass funny story and side stories. Completing Fable 2 100% is actually fun and not a chore.
The main memory I have of this game was being able to walk through town farting, having villagers be like “eew!”
Yeah, been a while…
The fable games have been some of my absolute favorite over the years
Really wish we got a fable 4
I remember hearing Fable was way too casual compared to the other RPGs I'd played at that point. But when I got into it a few years later it was actually quite solid. I didn't mind the simplicity of it.
Fable 2 and 3 I also had heard bad things about, but I had some free time a few years later and they appealed to me in quite a similar way. But then I found it more fun to get to buy houses than being worried about the game being too easy in any way.
fable 2 was so good man. that game had me absolutely gripped. something about it was so immersive.
F1 & 2 are solid and good fun. Cheeky British humor, a more classical English fairy-tale style fantasy compared to the more sprawling mythos that Heroic fantasy draws from. The series always had its warts, and 3 onward showed it was growing from the wrong fundamentals. Fable (PlayGround Games) looks to capture the quintessence but from a more mature and fully realized leap forward from the thematic roots of the early games. Pretty excited to visit this series a new, but not really wanting to return to the old titles.
Combo multi strike and berserk and you can kill bosses in cutscenes, their invincibility goes away when the cutscene triggers and the damage keeps ticking.
Never played Fable as a kid. Interesting that it has so much depth to its systems! I remember that a friend who had it, used to praide it to the skies. I thought he might have exaggerated a little, but I might be wrong. The art style made it look more like an action adventure game.
If you need to fill a spot in your schedule with a short title,I'd recommend citizen sleeper. A short narrative rpg that I enjoyed, and I believe that you, and the audience might like.
I haven't touched this game since I was 8th grade, in 2010. If I remember correctly, it was the only game I played for the entire summer of that year, I was really loving it. But I haven't played it since.
My buddy and I would play this game nonstop when we were kids. I was blown away when he showed me you could sacrifice someone at the dark temple at midnight and get a rare weapon.
When I retire, I'm going to replay so many of these old games I used to love
Adored this game as a kid and played it so much but I think by the time anniversary came out it was already outdated and hadn't aged well, nevermind in 2024
I love fable series
Hell yea Fables my shit lol There's a simple glitch where u can aquire Jack's Blade really early on and use it through out your whole playthrough till u choose the good ending. But with the lost chapters dlc it'll give u another OP sword to make up for it though you won't get it if you choose the evil ending
Fable 2 (and the casino mini game pack) were two of the games i 100% on the Xbox 360.
I've just learned that fable was a trilogy :p. I remember playing fable and how groundbreaking it was. Never even knew there was another 2
I LOVE this game. Have played it to many times through. An absolute shame 2 isn’t on PC ❤
I love Fable. It's a game that can be 100%ed in like 20 hours, but can somehow support 10 times that.
I agree that XP orbs are probably too plentiful once you learn the system, but if you resist the urge to just spend everything and commit hard to a specific build or theme, each playthrough feels much more distinct and interesting.
One favorite charcter was a drunken old fistfighter. He only had base strength, but when annoyed, he went berserk and started swinging. Many heads were exploded. Good times.
This brings back memories. Holy cow.
These games hit so hard when you're a kid so your imagination fills in the gaps. I primarily played Fable 2.
Man I remember playing this back on my original Xbox, they were happier times.
My first PC game.
I played it so much that in each new game I ended up breaking the economy and the experience multiplier so when I discover the temple of light (of Avo ?) I would use all my money to be young again at max level.
replayed it few months ago and it's still very good
and aside for differences between original and final edition (which i'm not going to list since i don't like to be dependant on wikis) there were few things that i never liked
1. clothes and tattoos affecting your morality (crime against fashion is a horrible idea)
2. after using cheats i have discovered that there are many tattoos in game that are not available for player and that many sets are not complete
3. you can romance almost every random npc and get it's clone for marriage but among actual characters there is only ONE evil option and absolute ZERO of good
4. one door set that to open is mandating evil romance choice (since there is no alternative)
5. katana that looks like meat cleaver (that hurts)
6. plate armor set without helmet
7. some main story choices are completely meaningless because it the end they are all going to leave (one way or the other)
8. ending don't give much in terms of satisfaction
Fable 1 was really solid from my memory, had the Lost chapters edition so got to fight dragon Jack of… blades? I can’t remember it’s been 20 years and I haven’t had a replay since but I see it pop up on sale and at least of those first three games it’s the only one I actually would like to replay.
now this is a unexpected blast of the past! i havent though about this game in a long time.
I can confirm that the game is incredibly easy. I finished the game without dying when I was like 12 and I wasn't even trying to do that.
something about the art style just totally sets it apart for me from other RPGS, to me it's just as timeless as watching a disney movie, pure fantasy bliss
I mostly played Fable 2 and enjoyed it, I do own this one but haven't played it yet
This is wild I just bought the anniversary edition on my steam deck
Huh. What are the odds Mortismal would post this the VERY DAY that I go on a nostalgia bindge and play fable games I haven’t touched sine 2011? Wild. XD there must be fable bug going around.
Controversially, I'd say all the footage we've seen from new Fable captures the atmosphere very well, nothing really compares to what Fable was, I'm not particularly hyped but I wish developers all the success.
And yeah, characters in Fable often looked like caricatures and were never particularly beautiful, I know who fake fans are.
One of the best games I ever played growing up luved it
I've been meaning to get this game on a sale for ages now. Maybe next sale then
I remember playing this game on my mom's old laptop when I didn't had any other means to play new games... I had a lot of fun with it and actually turned out to be one of my favorites! Still, I haven't played Fable II since then and I've played III on the 360. Overall, the third game kind of tries to maintain this serious tone narrative with a bunch of humor, but the thing that actually ruined it for me was the barebones gameplay and the lackluster areas and secrets of the game.
Plan on replaying the trilogy myself. Wonder if 3 will have grown on me.
I would always wait and re-buy your old home in Oakvale and then marry the adult version of the girl you help in the prologue. Felt like coming full circle. In my head the good mercenary you can recruit in Oakvale was the bullied kid from the prologue and the evil mercenary you can recruit in Bowerstone was the bully kid from the prologue.
When people say that "they turned fable into Marvel with this tone !!", I immediately know they have never played Fable before because it always was an absurd game.
Fable, an oldie but a goodie.
Thanks for the video. I played Fable after playing KotOR. so the morality system felt pretty mild by comparison. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.
I used to speedrun this game as a kid. I looked up the world record for this game, and I wasn't even close! 😂
"Lookit the chicken chasa!"
Curious to see Fable 3, i never played that one
The starting area, Oakvale, stays with me (in my heart, I could say) still today because of its amazing atmosphere, the incredible ost and its initial drama (overused in the medium, tbh, but here it is done very well).
Then, you are absolutely right, Mortismal, the rest of the game is not up to it, but after all it is a Fable and an over dramatic tone, probably, would have been inappropriate.
i should replay this one - i always wanted to finish it Evil style, but for 3 times, mind you, 3 times, i tried an evil playthrough, my hdd died! divine sing that Iomedae was not pleased
Ah, yes, Fable, my favorite UK housing market simulator
I was in college when the original Fable came out for Xbox, and I was so mad that it would be Xbox exclusive when I only had a PC. When it did come out for PC and I played it... I thought it did a few interesting things, but I had little desire to replay it and eventually concluded it was not worth the hype. Today, I don't think there is any reason to go back to play it.
I really am looking forward for fable 4. The trilogy was fantastic
F1 was pretty aces, but F2 remains the best of the 3 games so far. Just sucks it's so difficult to play in 2024.
I liked all three Fable games for different reasons. The first because it made you feel like a hero. The second because it really smacked that feeling right out of you. The third because I enjoyed the inventory change and it made the game feel like a bigger world. That said I kinda dropped off playing the DLC of the third because it turned into a grind fest which isn't really what the games have ever been about.
Them nerfing the arena was a crime against humanity.
Fable 3 had a Steam Release, but only for a very limited time it feels like...
Correct, I own it on steam actually. I'll have to stream 2 though
Liking, commenting, and subscribing.
i miss this game
"Back in middle school"...
Meanwhile I was already back from my second tour in Iraq, after college
bought anneversery edition because I've heard a lot of good things about this game and then met with wobbly camera which gave me serious motion sickness for hours. I hope there is way to fix it
I love games where you decisions actually have consequences. I find that way more immersive than anything else.
Fable RUclips jazz 🎶
One of the funier parts of the game is that bald haircut is coded as very atractive. Now take a wild guess how game main designer, Peter Molymeux looks like :P :D ....
*I love all of them!*
W video king
Look at that. I was searching through some older rpgs I didn't play and I was thinking about Fable series. Funny thing this modern gaming which is all about sales will make younger generations to play old gems even before remakes and their greed will propel some indie studios as well. I enjoy a lot of modern games but all bs with microtransactions and pre- orders is tedious to watch.
if I recall correctly, the footage comes from Fable Anniversary? Are you also planning to also take a look at the original version of this game (The Lost Chapters)?
This made me want to play fable 2 on my series x. That ended quickly after I started playing it. Not sure why but it seems to be running the x box 360 settings. Feels like it's running at 15fps. I was getting dizzy no lie.
Ive heard its rough as well, yeah
I used to play this ad nauseam with BG EE when I was a kid. I believe i even broke the CD (I had the Lost Chapters Edition BTW) making it unplayable.
Also yes Fable 2 and Fable 3 were pretty much dumbed down in many things, especially on the RPG side and the Alignment/Reputation/Outfit side. Pity I was really into it. Also yes, I bankrupted Albion too.
Loved fable 1, hated fable 2, felt like fable 3 was great all the way till the ending that you could trivialize with lute hero, Making me list it as a game with great potential that missed the mark.
Will this run out of the box on steam deck? I was hoping you'd mention it since you usually do for other newer games.
I will for the actual review, I dont ever mention in this initial look videos
Fable is probably the most British game thats ever been made. Thats what a worry about in the reboot. Will they stick to that humour or try open it up for other audiences. If they do can they do that successfully.
Personally the second game was my favourite but i know different people prefer the first. Nobody loves the second half of the third.
