Well after waiting for a bout a year i sure hope its no crysis2.....Damn that is a massive half assed port

Can't say this will take priority over Witcher 2 for me.. But I have exams during may anyway. I'll buy them both as I don't have a 360 but I loved fable 1+2. Besides, it's my birthday on the 17th :)

Make up your mind, devs....Fable on PC or no? You seem to have lost F2 in there somewhere. You seem lost on what you want to do

I thought this was a terrible game. It had very little substance, and was so easy there should have just been a "WIN" button you could press. The original Fable is still the best game in my opinion. Fable 2 was the worst.

(movie above) crazy looking combat. Yeah, you could add a million more things for PC: Online auction house, crafting, teams of builders, squads to follow you, dedicated forums, multi-player, no log-on to the internet or die software, empire buiding, soooooo much more memory in a PC.

Oh well I have it on xbox already so if all they did was 'add difficulty levels and stereoscopic 3D support. ' then I doubt I'll feel the need to buy it again. Anyone on the PC who likes Fable titles though and hasn't got it on the xbox then I'd recommend it. I found it the most fun fable yet since the story was just better, it felt like you achieved more and it did what each fable is meant to do. Chuck you in a charming world with some good laughs and some decent action. The only problem I've heard people complain about is that stats are a little hidden (there wasn't many stats anyway :/, but stuff like health and clothing stuff is hidden) and some seem to think there isn't as many side missions but personally I found there to be enough.

this or the witcher 2, not a tough choice for me, the witcher 2 , as i said a long time ago if microsoft wanted to get back in the pc industry they wouldn't release this game when one of the pc titans is coming , and for the time they screwed with us pc gamers canceling alan wake for pc , delaying fable 3, never releasing a fable 2 game ,and srewing up the age of empires game, the only good thing they did was back in the days when age of mythology or aoe or halo 1 were released and were good games, they left the pc gamers , i am sorry for lionhead and the B&W games but they are dead for me and i have the year booked with games like the witcher 2 dungeon siege 3, bf 3, mass effect 3, tes 5, next resident evil game,batman arkham city and many more

Who are we addressing when we comment in articles or videos? Do we imagine some potential audience and then fabricate a narrative to appease them? Or are comments meant to address ourselves, as we type them... So confused.. erm..anyway fable3 looks great as long as it's free from terrible glitches.

Fable III PC not a 'half-done port', just a 'half-done game'

@pelvist i wouldnt say it was horrible, but B&W had an amazing story and all the little scroll quests and using your powers to impress rival villages was amazing....B&W 2 on the other hand had little to compare with scrolls and story and was basically a dumbed down strategy game with a giant creature

@samnov Speak for youself I enjoyed both B&W games and i thaught B&W 2 was the best of the two.

@Damascuss: The first Black & White was brilliant, Black & White 2 however, was horrible..

I'm disappointed the PC never got Fable 2. But I'm pretty excited for this, really enjoyed Fable TLC. Would be nice to see a Black & White 3, but I'm sure that's nothing but wishful thinking and it would probably be changed drastically and thrown on the console.

repair all the mistakes in xbox360 fable III ... and thats what I call super ... I don't need any harder difficulties as I always play games in normal mode ... I play game to relief stress not to add one

Thats nice and all, but don`t be surprised when it doesn`t sell after launching it so damn late.

yaya we want alan wake for pc ,halo 3 gears series . not some beatup game whose 2nd part they kindly forgot to release on pc . kiss my *** u know wat microharda**.

You know what, I'll just repost what desmasic said near the bottom of the page: "I couldn't care less about what console gamers think of Fable series (including Fable 3 of course). As far as the interview at RPS is concerned, it appears that PC version has improved enemy AI and overall increased difficulty (read=fun, compared to console version) along with better visuals, of course. So yeah, looking forward to it. Enjoyed Fable TLC and it sucks that we didn't get Fable 2 (maybe after Fable 3 they will release it.. though I doubt it)." @Joefatty2x4 Another preview also talked about adding proper mouse support, And you should know they only mention the 'big things' in news posts like this. @Nodashi Yes, taking this long to make a "half-bake port". OMG! COMPREHENSION FAIL!!!

Of course Games deserved to be fully Optimized for PC it's not something to say, it must be done :)

They never bothered to release part 2 for PC so why bother with part 3 for PC?

its ok I'm losing interest rapidly ive bin waiting that long! so screw u lionshead taking us for mugs.

ah its always nice to see this sort of treatment. rockstar could learn a thing or two.

Well, luckily for us PC-Only gamers, BF3 is designed for PC.

Fable-FTW Fable2-F*** the console Fable3-WTF

oh yeah.... they got a lot to redeem after abandoning pc gamers with not porting fable 2

so this isn't a half-done port because it has 3D support and a Hardcore mode? as if that means anything whatsoever

So what, they want a medal for doing what they're supposed to do?In reality, the amount of PC versions of multiplatform games that could be put into the category of "bad port" is pretty tiny.Not taking advantage of the platform is a completely different category, but every multiplatform game is going to be fairly guilty of that.

Fable III PC not a 'half-done port', yet sadly still a 'half-ass game'

I could have sworn every liked Fable 2 more than 3...

If this is true then it's about time, I haven't been playing games on PC for more than a year or two(I built my first budget gaming PC a short time ago) but I always heard that PC gamers always have 'the short end of the stick' because of bad/lazy ports from consoles. And to pelvist I have the witcher but don't like it, not my kind of game but I think it's nice when a game is exclusive to PC, runs nice and it's good quality AND doesn't take about 5 hours to finish a story mode *ugh hum* 'rehashed' call of duty crap =P

@Paulos1974 You think they care about PC, no my friend they don't, they just want more money to spend for console games If they cared about PC they would have released Alen Wake for PC The last major game witch Microsoft released for PC was Gear of War in 2007 and now they are worried about "danger for PC games" !!!, how hilarious

No thanks, if the game was released at the same time as the 360 version i would likely have baught it. however I dont really care for sloppy seconds and iv heard how the game isnt really that good from 360 gamers. Ill think ill spend my money on a PC game instead like The Witcher 2.

Fable 3 is an awful game. Take my advice and avoid it at all costs.

.....

Now how are you gonna bring Fable III to the PC and not Fable II?

A half-done port to a half-baked game... Hurray! 1/4th of a good game! Pass...

But it wasn't built for it. It was tweaked for it. Hopefully more was tweaked than the controls and UI. The very gameplay of the past 2 Fable games has been more suited to consoles - because it was built for them.

Good to see the PC is not being forgotten

This is awwwesome. I can't wait to be playing a decent, well made Lionhead game on PC once more ^^ I adore Lionhead's work, may they continue forever!

Better late and polished than soon and broken.

my first impression playing with fable 3 is the interface sucks. it proves that fable 2 is a better game.

this comes as a small consolation....... i think.

We get Fable III but Fable II is no where to be found.

Fable 3 is a half done game, scrap that.... it is a half done piece of sh*t. PC gamers: do not pay for this, it is not worth yout time, even if the 'game' was free then someone should be paying you to spend your time on it. The hardcore mode is a nice touch, because part of the problem was that there was no challenge to the repetitive combat. But that doesn't make the combat any less repetitive. Or add to this shallow game that tries to be a simulator, adventure game, RPG, kingdom manager and fails at all of these. Especially as a PC gamer who is used to great games in all these genres, Fable 3 will appear as twice the horrible game that it is on the 360. DO NOT BUY (I got the collector's edition, worst game I ever bought)

@fredwv They'll never release Fable 2 for PC :( They are releasing Fable3 on PC to make up their loss on the consoles (as it was a horrible game & console gamers kicked back hard on them :P )

This is better than nothing I think ...

This, this is good news.

Well yeah, if it was only a half-done port then the PC version would only be a quarter of a game.
