Fable Vs Oblivion?

[QUOTE="Redick_is_Magic"]oblivion is the best game on the 360 and if u dont have it u should get it nowRaseshX

Yah, people said I should get it, But I'm asking to people who have played both games, and share which games is better.

Dont get me wrong, Iv'e played Oblivion for like an hour :P, but thinks it's a great game.

I hate Oblivion with a passion. The game is so outdated, you cant even imagine. Gameplay was slow, no combat system, melee FPS for the loss. It's no condemned. The game has you feeling lost, not in terms of where to go, but where to start and what else to do. You kinda have to pick and choose your adventure and I dont like that about Oblivion or any game for that matter. Dungeons all looked the same, I'm not even kidding. Enemies were so boring, they all looked the same in each dungeon. If it's a cave full of goblins then all the goblins look the same. NPCs are lifeless, no facial expression, and they hardly move. They stand inert. No hand gestures, nothing. This game is so 1999. It's overated and a big waste of your precious time.

I never played Fable, I need opinions about that as well. I would like to, because I'm pretty excited about Fable 2.

It's quite cheap now in shops anyway. Around £10 maybe?

Sweet, thanks. I'll probably just download it off XBL, I have some points left. Graphics are still okay right? I wont be turned off by Xbox graphics?

ZOMG.

I played Fable: The Lost Chapters through like 10 times and it was still fun until I finally sold my Xbox.

I think it would be far more apt to compare Fable 1 to Morrowind. Morrowind was such a terrible game in my opinion, I could never get anywhere. I find Oblivion to be a lot better than Morrowind, but it's definately no MY type of game. I like RPGs but I prefer a more lineal experience. I like having freedom, but I don't want so much freedom that I get lost and can't enjoy myself. I want to play a game for entertainment, gaming should not be turned into a "meaningful pursuit", such as Oblivion.

I think we're going to have to wait until Fable 2 is released, so we can compare two next-gen RPGs from polar opposite structures of the genre.

I like Oblivion more then Fable, because the game lasted 100+ hours. Fable however does have the art style down(best High end weapons of any game). Fable also had a soul and atmosphere to it while obliviion is dull in comparison. Oblivion does have customizability of your character and house, and you could be a girl or a guy(even though the girls looked like men anyways).

Oblivion>Fable

But

Fable 2>> Oblivion.

yeah, I agree with the people who are saying that 'oblviously oblivion will be better, as it's on a next-gen console, and came out a year later'.

But i'm not really going for just the graphics, i mean the story line.

You don't really need a super-duper amazing pwnageable TEROEF0SFSDF9SD F7SDF console, to produce a great story line. I know plenty of games for the Nintendo 64 & PS1, That don't have the most amazing graphics, but a great storyline.

Keep posting your views people :).

[QUOTE="paul52181"]

In my opinion, Fable. I loved Fable, the gameplay, story, combat, magic, characters, and I really loved the music. I can't wait for Fable 2! It's just more my type of RPG. I absolutely hated Oblivion, it was a complete borefest, the voice work was crap, the combat was crap, and every dungeon or cave looked exactly the same. Total freakin snoozefest in my opinion. And I also wasn't going to invest 100+ hours in that.

great_rulo

All the thing's you just said you hate are the most praised by reviewers, you sure didnt even play for more than 5 hours did you? geez i played it for 200 hours and i didnt even got bored.

Fable was good but the only great thing about it was the story and the argument, but the level design, enemies designs, gameplay, replay value and different quests were just crap.

So, because a lot of reviewers praised the things that I hate about Oblivion...it makes me wrong? Sorry buddy, but a review is an opinion, not a fact. I could give two **** less about what the reviewers or what you think. I make judgements based on my own experience, not those of a reviewer. And I played for about 20+ hours and just couldn't get into it. You liked it, you didn't get bored....good for you. Am I ripping on you because you don't like Fable and I do? No....because I don't care. To each his own....to each his own...

Oblivion without a doubt. I prefer the gameplay system in Fable, but unlike Oblivion, it just doesn't have any substance. Heck, I prefer Morrowind over Fable 1 anyway.

Iqen

Though, i highly doubt Morrowind is even close to beating fable.

Oblivion's story was generic and lifeless, the level scaling made leveling useless, the fast travel and compass made everything easy as hell to find and all the quest's were "Go to objective A, kill monster B and/or bring back item B." with little to no variation. Of course they mixed that up a bit with Shivering Isles, but the level scaling was so game defeating that after fully completing Oblivion I just couldn't stomach it.

Fable had a generic story too, but at least it had charm. It was far too linear, didn't have the family features in it like had been suggested, and it was a lot more stylistic then Oblivion so while Oblivion certainly has better graphics I think Fable was a lot more fun to look at. Even the backgrounds at time had an oustanding amount of detail to them.

Both games are shallow RPG's at best. Fable get's the nudge in my opinion simply because the experience was more memorable in my opinion.

I found it's story good but not great, but the main story is ONLY a part of it and not a big one! it's quests are awesome , an insane man , a man who seeks his revenge (with his mother's head with him!) or annihilate a group of stupid ppl in a stupid game! that's just awesome! finally u get the FEELING of playing in another world....

Edit: how I made an almost perfect warrior at lvl 10 then making him a thieve with some stuff and focusing on some skills, shows how great this is game is....

I prefer Oblivion. Fable was so linear and small,Oblivion is large scale and open ended. As an above poster said I beleive morrowind is better than fable as well.

Oblivion hands down.

how can you not like Oblivion? Honestly....

It feels like another world. And when i get tired from playing Oblivion, its mostly becasue i have been playing it for so long.

Oblivion is WAY better. I recently went through Fable again and I forgot how boring that game was. Honestly I hope Fable 2 redeems the series for me. Fable 2 is supposed to be what Fable was meant to be.

Oblivion, by far.

Fable is a lie. Like the cake.

idk..im probably gonna have to play fable 2 to find out...i mean i love oblivion(that was the game i was playing before i got 1 light of death)...and then theres fable..the game i simply adored on the Xbox....decisions decisions

I say Oblivion

Oblivion and Fable both are pretty equal in my eyes but Fable edges out Oblivion since Fable gives you more choices in what you can do.RenegadePatriot

i mean in comparion to oblivion.hahapswayze

I like Oblivion over Fable (the original Fable).

As far as Fable 2 goes, it has it's work cut out. Oblivion is a very hard act to follow, but Fable 2 has potential. We'll all find out when it's released.

Fable is smaller but unique, each new screen has unique things, monsters, art, secrets, each quest is unique and interestng, and you can influence the quest outcome

Oblivion is huge, but gets generic after a while, every quest is similar, every mosnter looks similar, every dungeon, all wilderness seems old etc

I would go for both, each has its own advantages IMO, but would always pick Fable 1 for the brilliant quest and world design, and vastly more spectacular spells

The combat is also vastly superior in Fable, far more addicitve and fun

Oblivion is very lifeless, there maybe alot 2 do in it but its very boring, everyone sounds the same and say the samething and the quests are all the same(not saying fable's are all different). while fable is a very fun game, the game never gets boring,better combat and magic. Oblivion is still a good game but fable is better

im a oblivion freak ive done the main quest 4 times one of my characters ive done all the side-quests in the whole game i gotten 5 characters level 20+ but when i think back when i played Fable outclass Oblivion Fable got a spirit of its own!
