No Fable for me this time, thank you.
It could be good if it dropped the whole RPG element - wich the first 2 games failed at miserably - and just focused on being an action/adventure a la Okami or Zelda.

I'm being careful not to be hyped but yeah i'm looking forward to it, definatly a game i'l probably get this year.
I thought all the other Fables were good but I've learnt to ignore "A Certain Man" and take the game as it is. Which, usually, is awesome.
Fable 2 was one of the few games I didn't agree with Yahtzee about when I played it, it had a load of interesting quests, a fun combat system, great voice acting, and brilliant story.
I'm hoping Fable 3 does turn out as good, or even better, than Fable 2, and I hope it carries that epic, cinematic feel that it's predessor gave out.

My only real problem with Fable 2 was the slow menu system and if you wanted to max out every skill you became a giant glowing barrel of a person.
Fix that and I'm golden.

yeah i generally ignored the hype train over these games and found myself very pleased, i beat fable 1 at least 15 times back when i had it for the original xbox, and i beat fable 2 a good 4 times with all the dlc, so im sure if i go into this open minded i am hoping to really enjoy fable III
Yes, i'm looking forward to Fable 3. I've been avidly following the series since it was announced as project ego. With the Fable series I learnt not to listen to the hype, the first one fell well short of what was initally promised, but that was largely due to technology, with some aspects on seemingly being introduced in F3. I completely ignored all the hype around F2 and was rewarded with a solid game, with a few glaring issues here and there, but enjoyable none-the-less.
I imagine 3 will be the same, people will ignore the fact that F3 will be an enjoyable game, instead choosing to focus on some key issues, tainting the word of mouth.

Unlike many, I never got really suckered in by Mr Molyneux, and have never played the Fable series as anything other that what it was, and what I found that it was, was an uninteresting, flow-breaking, irritating, poorly told wreck.
I was given Fable 1 by some relatives, and had a bit of a good time with it. I was never exposed to Molyneux's crap, so I took it and played it, and had some fun with it at least. It was just never interesting enough to me to finish. That was the way of things back then when I was like 12, with many games not holding my attention to the end, so in that I do blame myself, but I did have some fun with it at the time. I replayed it later on the 360, however, and found myself suffused with incredible amounts of 'meh'.
Things only got really bad with fable 2, a game that I actually played to the end (of the story at least), and while I was never bouyed up by false promises from Molyneux, it still failed on so many levels for me. The story was pathetic, with the usual "quest to find three other guys to help you fight the evil dude etc", but they end up having nothing to do with the story after you recruit them. No wonder they included those fucking jobs in the game, because even with them and sidequests, I still finished the game in less than a week of casual gaming, and was able to return it for full price. The ending was also . . . pathetic is too light a word for the colossal shit that it did in its story pants. It was so lazy as to be unexcusable.
But the thing I hate most about the fable series, is the RIDICULOUS GODDAMN LOADING TIMES! What? 30 flow-breaking seconds of loading to render a 50 meter long forest corridor? Then another one to load an identical one? And god help you if you loaded into a city. It somehow got even worse in Fable 2, with the loaded city sections pathetically small.
Bottom line for me, even without being poisoned by Peter Molyneux's hype, the games were still massive disappointments for me.

I've never been fooled by Molyneux's crap and I never will be. I played Fable 1 and HATED it. I couldn't get into it at all and I found I was having more fun looking at the box art then playing the game itself. I've never played Fable 2 and have no plains for paying Fable 3. I've long crossed Fable off my list of games to play. Now to get rid of the PC copy of Lost Chapters.
Fable 2 was one of my biggest disappointments ever. It wasn't much of an RPG. There wasn't much action. It was patronizingly easy. I still cannot understand why ANYONE likes it.
Fable 3? Screw that.
