I Played Fable III for Two Hours

I purchased Fable III because of the always enticing Steam sale. I’d heard it was a fun game, but now I’m wondering who I heard that from. I need to know who it was so I can slap them.

First Strike: Windows Live account required? Really? I don’t have an xbox, I will NEVER use this account EVER again, but don’t you know it that I can’t play this game without one. That means I get to exit the game, try to figure out if I ever made one in the past, make a new one, go to my email client to verify the account and then launch the game again. If I had paid attention to the fine print of the Steam page and noticed the “Requires Windows Live account” I wouldn’t have bought this game. I now check every game I buy on Steam for this warning.

Second Strike: Pressing and HOLDING DOWN a key to make an RPG choice? Really? Really. You gotta hold down the action key for a length of time that feels like 15 minutes to decide whether you say “Yes” or “No” to a choice of going outside.

Third Strike: Having to Google how I save my fucking game. Not only do I have to teleport back to my secret hero base by hitting the ESC key (it toggles you in and out of your base and where you are in game, not infuriating at all) then run around until I find some motherfucking gears embedded in a wall. 

I HATE GAMES THAT DO NOT LET YOU SAVE ANY DAMN TIME YOU WANT. Consoles, PC, Mobile, I don’t give a fuck the platform but I like to think I’m a semi-busy person, I want to be able to, I need to be able to, save my game at any time.

Three strikes, Fable III is out.
