Fable 14 Years Later | Is Fable Still Worth It? | Fable Anniversary Review 2021

Fable 14 years later. I can't believe this game has been around for so long. In this retrospective/review, I revisit Fable and Albion by playing Fable Anniversary and The Lost Chapters (TLC) and offering my thoughts on why Fable is still worth it in 2021 - in 2021 you should definitely give Fable a try if you never played it before, and perhaps even consider giving Albion a visit if you've played the game before, now that Fable 4 is finally on the way.
I hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane.
Thanks for watching

There is a POLL active in the description to let you vote on which game I cover next - votes are open. Thanks for watching guys - really appreciate it

[@MultiTHUNDER00]

I was 7 years old when my parents bought me this game, i was grinding like a monster! I could not read or speak English because i am not a native English speaker. It took me weeks to complete the first area lol. It was very hard for me to watch his dad die and see the village all burned up. Damn those memories were unforgettable this game has a special place in my heart.

[@ShinigamiNeo0308]

When I used to be small I was sooo scared to go to lych field graveyard and Necropolis I always used to get nightmare of jack and undeads but now when I installed fable anniversary I just wanna do the graveyard and necropolis quest again and again

[@ShinigamiNeo0308]

I used to play fable the lost chapters

[@filipedeataideramos]

I played the original (and coming back now..), after playing Black & White game. Loved it aswell:)

[@alicemanes3813]

Your voice is mesmerizing, it almost feels criminal not to experience this game. Thank you for making my decision easy.

[@Onos]

Haha thank you! Hope you enjoy the game if you try it out!

[@craig3077]

My dude Brother Martin came from Cyrodil so he can play Fable. Fascinating.

[@GimmeSkooma]

Did you like it?

[@HelloMcFly1]

I remember the day this came out so well because I just started a new job and a friend of mine convinced me to call in sick and go to Toys R Us with him to buy Fable. I did it, played all day and night. Side note: I still work with that same company 17 years later and I still play Fable at least once year, its one of my all time favorite video games.

[@davidmadison5582]

Awesome 😎 I love fable too

[@loothoarder7dgaming425]

This was my first huge step into the rpg world when it first came out I was so hyped for this game! I fell in love with this game. Fable is my all time favorite video game series. I've played them especially this one alot and I don't regret it! I can't wait for fable 4 I hope it goes back to its roots even though it isn't lionhead anymore. Great video!!

[@popcornfilms1]

A sweet story

[@shottysheppard5352]

Wow Michael, that is really insightful. Please tell me more.

[@asdfxd3745]

Hopefully you don't burn your hands with the grease from the fries

[@BounceHub]

Fable 1 is the best one out of the whole series, definitely one of the best role playing/ adventure games I’ve played too, they don’t make games like the used too always over the top on how they make them! Hopefully the new fable will be a master piece 🙌🏻

[@silentslayergaming8469]

Fable 1 is good, but Fable 2 is the best in the series for me. It deserves a remaster and PC port.

[@GimmeSkooma]

@@silentslayergaming8469 I wish it would get a remake at this point

[@OhFrittata]

Literally just finished a pure evil mage playthrough, and now I get this vid recommended to me. This game is definitely in my Top 10 favorite games.

[@H1storybr3akdown]

This game was beyond its time

[@stack200]

I love this game so much. Currently playing through again and something has struck me about the fable series in comparison to larger scale rpgs. The small scale regions, especially in the first game, allows everything you come across to feel intentional. Everything is full of character, crafted with purpose. Think of all the chests you find that are placed at the end of a path, where the path exists purely for the sake of you finding the chest. Every small thing like that then feels like an event. It's very comforting. This then translates over to the in-game context of Albion, there's always a hidden narrative to everything you come across. Nothing ever quite feels untouched and natural - there's always a hint of ancient ruin and magic.

[@danielstjohn795]

One of the best gaming experiences I've had. Love this game.

[@AvariceOverlord]

This was very enjoyable to watch and listen to, awesome review! You held great clarity and nailed your topics. I can definitely relate to the charming and nostalgic sentiments that you share in this video. Crazy to think it's nearly been 20 years, yet this game aged like fine wine!

[@stefanagha3248]

New PC gamer here trying to catch up on the classics I missed! I hope this stands up without the nostalgia vibes that I obviously won’t be getting.

Hope you enjoy it, the new Fable game just got announced 9 months ago, the newest installment after 11 years! It's going to be a good ride :)

This was like my first single player RPG when I was a kid, and it was so fun when I first played this game. Holds a special place in my heart like when I played my first Elder Scrolls game Skyrim.

@Geo M definitely PC mate, you can download all kind of mods and just a better experience. You can also use console commands if you want to mess around and see random monsters/enemies duke it out lol.

im gonna make you all really.... really jealous. ive never played fable. its just installed now. BRB

Enjoy

[@Bruce.Wanye.]

How was it?

[@hoodaya]

I miss the old games made by Peter Molyneux and some of his older studios (Lionhead studios, bullfrog, etc.) they made some amazing games together under his guidance, with the likes of black and white, dungeon keeper, fable, populous etc. They were truly magical games.

[@timebandit1266]

I forgot about black and white! Such a lost gem of a game

[@nerfspy5515]

I played this game almost 6 years later 2 years ago im 15 now and I played it when I was 8 or 9 the music and the narrator was so nostalgic i could’ve cried

[@eduardogerman2854]

The nostalgia this brings bacc staying up late smoking tons of weed and cigarettes weekend binges of beer and shit talking

[@johnnny5veeoxx]

I adore this game. The music, world, characters, humor, story.. Just all blends so well and feels so good. Love it.

[@infinityfabrik]

Great stuff. Loved the enthusiasm. New fan over here.

[@Onos]

Thank you! Really appreciate the comment (and having a new fan of course!) 🙏🤜🤛

[@LordParticle]

This game was my childhood, and playing it again this year has been very nostalgic. The atmosphere/vibe this game creates is so relaxing, not to mention addicting. imo not elder scrolls levels of immersion, but really close in terms of the soundtrack and visual aesthetics

[@Brooklynmeyer]

Ah the nostalgia! I loved these games. 💜

[@theansweris4299]

I spent so many days of my life when I was a kid playing this game and then I discovered Skyrim when I was about 19 or 20 and got obsessed with that game

[@Hunter_Kennedy1]

It’s crazy. This game is 18 years old now, and still is one of the best games today in many people’s minds. Has more content than some new triple A games and brings so much more fun than most of them nowadays.

[@maxim9875]

If someone would turn fable into An MMORPG with dungeons that would be the best one out there ..!

[@ZyliceLiddell]

I’m getting Zelda & Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning vibes from this!

Just beat this game was great in the old days was even better replying it on Xbox game pass 😂

[@shayoko6]

i never played any of the fable games, the community seemed mixed on which of the 3 (that i remember at the time) games was the best. i did see a little of the early section of the first game. and it was quite compelling. might be worth a shot!

[@Onos]

Yeah I saw that too... I'm tempted to give no. 2 and 3 a shot at some point

[@CodyKing45]

I go back and replay these games yearly

Never played this game but just got it to play on my steam deck.

The makers of fable 1 are legendary! I really hope fable 4 is this good! 2 and three didn't quite capute the greatness of fable 1.

Good video

[@erikwolf3479]

This is game is high on the list of my top 10 favorite games of all time. But the anniversary edition is a travesty, to anyone reading who never played it, if you want to play it find the original TLC version and enjoy a masterpiece.

[@Smacic355]

just picked this up !!!!

[@GangstaOfLove817]

It was a perfect game, always wished there was an online community though

[@muschip]

I'm not sure what you mean by there's no skill cap and you can just pick up and play. There were boss fights and AI that were absurdly badly designed. The entire combat system is by holding down block until the AI is done animating their attack, then you can get an attack in if youre lucky. Most of the time you will get penalized/hurt just for turning around to hit someone behind you. It is not "a pick up and play kind of game" especially when you have to go and upgrade weapons/armor on your own whim to be able to face AI later. Its a terrible game imo.

[@thekoalawasbrown]

Bruh I really prefer a mediocore graphic games but created with love and passion like this.. rather than the one with hyper realistic 8K supported ray tracing garbage but dull, rushed, microtransaction behind a greedy publishers/developers.. or worse, mobile games

[@unboxreacts7435]

Such an underrated game. Too bad it was exclusive to Xbox.

[@DOCB-op1qc]

from childhood is a stretch. its like 5 kid missions.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

“Stay safe.” So cringe.

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

Even in 2004 I thought fable was just a mediocre game. I was so excited for it, but in reality, it didn’t deliver on all its promises. We had games that had already come out that were just better than fable. I didn’t even finish it. It was a great idea, but executed poorly. Fable 1 gets a 6/10 from me. Slightly above average. Even at 16 years old, I knew there were similar games that did it better. Never bothered with 2 or 3 because 1 was such a disappointment. It really annoys me how fable somehow became this cult classic with die hard fanboys because the game just isn’t that good. Zelda, Baldur’s gate, knights of the old republic, final fantasy etc. all games that released way before fable and did what fable did only way better. Fable didn’t create the “choice mechanic” and that was its whole gimmick but it wasn’t even done well.

[@kyleclause]

That’s your opinion. I agree knights of the old republic was a great game but it was completely different from fable 1 I’m not sure how you didn’t love both games but I beat fable at least 20 times it’s one of my favorite games of all time that I still go back and play occasionally maybe due to nostalgia but still I enjoyed it a bit more than knights of the old republic

Yup. Instead of making games for gamers, they now make games strictly for cash.

Playing it now! By far such a great experience and gives me such cozy vibes from my kid days as a 26 year old man now lol makes me feel like I grown up with the game itself, and someone is narrating my life haha :D

Played through 2 and (sigh)3 so many times I really need to bite the bullet and finally play it.

[@justinrandall1971]

Yea you definitely need to, fable 2 is decent, as u know fable 3 isn't up to snuff, but neither of them come remotely close to how great the original is. One of my favorite games of all time

[@huntermcgahan930]

personally I didn't like 2 or 3 that much but I loved the original! definitely has its own feel to it compared to the other two which kinda feel like cash grabs almost just because of how good the first one was. The only thing the other two had on this one were better graphics basically. Better gaming engine perhaps because they were made for the 360 while the original was on the original.

[@kyleclause]

Dude if you still haven’t played fable 1 and your looking for a good game.. go pick up anniversary ASAP. You will become addicted, I wish I could go back to being like 7 years old watching my brother play the original game it was awesome

Yeah I was so young now I’m 21. My brother that is 31 now used to play it and I would just watch him play all day. Then I ended up beat in g the game at least 10 times before my brother even beat the game twice haha good times I Remeber his friends were asking me what to do next in the storyline and I was only like 6 or 7

[@paulwolfley7785]

This was the deciding factor of me choosing Xbox or Playstation

I’ll never forget spending hundreds of hours on my Xbox in 2004. This game has me skipping so many days of school throughout my sophomore year. I was so enchanted by this game, and this is one of the few nostalgic games that still holds that enchantment for me. Fable Kotor 1&2 Jade empire Star Wars Battlefront 2 Halo 1&2 Those were the games that still hold such a special place in my heart
