Quick Look: Fable Heroes

Molyno.

Looks alright I guess

What the heck is this game?

OMG you people are so fast. Also.... this looks nothing like fable. Then again I stopped following it after 2.

LOL DJ Big Pumpkin be DJ big pumping

Im not buying this game..

Dat thumbnail.

Why does this game exist?

Nice QL you guys.

I'd say their Fable characters sound less like Animal Crossing dudes and more like Banjo Kazooie dudes.

Let me get this straight. This is a game for kids, set in the universe of an M-Rated series? What.

Yup! I thought so myself too.

Chicken kicker, kicking them chickens, eh?

Sweet 4 player QL.

I had hope for this game. Hope is wind. This game breaks hope.

I love monda-- fable heroes?

Hey! Another disappointing property with the Fable name. Color me surprised.

What about I love Loves Mon-able heroes?

I do not get the in joke you guys.

Seems like the guys really enjoyed playing this; I'll be sure to pick this up and recommend it to everyone.

I'm just going to leave this here (since there is a lot of Fable bashing). Granted, Fable 1, 2 and 3 were not the greatest games ever or is it the best Fantasy franchise ever, but I played the shit out of all 3 and loved every minute of it. Again, before anyone says anything about my taste of games, it is NOT my favorite fantasy game, probably least favorite, but I do enjoy the series and will probably pick this up (kinda looks Castle Crashery) and perhaps the Kinect title (later this year?)

Too Much 'Sitement

Seems like a logical progression for the fable series after 3.

Nice 20 minute review you guys.

STOP WALKING!

Oh, boy... how the Fable series has fallen.

I have to say, I have loved every game in the Fable franchise, and I will give this one a shot. I like these cartoony beat 'em up games.

DIRTY BUTTHOLES

My thoughts exactly

When Ryan said he had a super gun and jeff asked "You have a supergun?" I was expecting him to follow that with "Your gonna come to my house and we can play some jamma arcade boards on my TV?".

Truth.

Man, it is amazing how far this series has fallen.

I confused this with Fable the Journey or whatever and was very confused.

WOW, the audio practically blew out my speakers on this one. Lots of clipping. Am I going crazy or does it seem way louder than normal for anyone else?

edit: Specifically the HD downloadable file. HD streaming seems to sound fine.

Wow... this Game is so annoying.

This is... a game.

They need to make Alex review this.

I love how morbidly disinterested they became of this shit after 2 minutes.

Christ, it's so dull I can't imagine kids playing it. A toddler would be outraged by this borefest.

Why do such blatantly patronising games exist? Kid's are smarter than they're given credit for.

Walleyed Heroes

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

you guys kept saying the game was bad, bad, bad. But you only explained yourselves in the slightest of details. Example: You complained about was that it feels muddy but you could be more specific. I didn't learn anything about the game from watching this review. I still have to play the demo myself to see why it's bad and what's good about it.

but it's not a review...it's a quick look

@Pulloff: Pssssst, this isn't a review.

So I thought this was an original IP at first, just called Fable Heroes as if it were heroes from fables/tales/whatever, but then I looked at the box art and noticed the actual Fable logo. Now I don't even know what to think.

"In 2012, Microsoft published Fable Heroes to mixed critical and commercial response. Later that year, Fable: The Journey was released. It was both a critical and commercial failure. Jeff Gerstmann of Giant Bomb wrote, "Playing Fable: The Journey is like being hand-bathed by your grandmother as a fully grown adult," though he did admit that the game's horse petting mechanics were "highly immersive."

In 2018, Microsoft-EA announced a reboot of the series, simply entitled "Fable", to be developed by Ninja Theory for release on the Super Xbox 360."

@Aldrenar47: The Fable

Why make this game in the first place!? It is very generic and hardly engaging. And it must feel trouble to play if the guys were complaining about the controls.

Pulloff got the Popularity Contest achievement before me because of his amazing trolling. Bravo good sir, bravo. Unless he's not trolling then well......

This looks bad. I could hardly tell what was going on with the camera angles and absence of character markers; I wonder if this would seem any better in single player or two player co-op.

And once again, like with Bloodforge, the Quick Look saves me money. What a pile of shit these "ARCADE NEXT" games are (apart from Trials Evo, obviously!)

you guys kept saying the game was bad, bad, bad. But you only explained yourselves in the slightest of details. Example: You complained about was that it feels muddy but you could be more specific. What parts are muddy? The controls - the look - the movement? I didn't learn anything about the game from watching this review. I still have to play the demo myself to see why it's bad or what's good. I don't like fable games either, but at least I give the games I try an honest review of pros and cons. I'm majoring in game design, so reviews are important to me. But this video could have made just as many points if it didn't exist at all.

Oooh boy. How the mighty have fallen...
