    But dont take our word for it. Try it yourself.
    ME2 plot mostly consists in doing useless quests for your henchmen. I consider that subpar.

    The plot is here again, subpar (run around the kingdom to recruit allies). The fights were pretty bad, with barely any tactical element. Then, it seems the developpers couldn't quite figure out whether they wanted to make a serious-dark-fantasy-badass game or a college-humor one.
    Add the craptacular DLC's and you get what I call a bad game. Mind you, I finished it three times and unlocked all the achievements. But looking back at it, I see nothing that'd bring me back to it.

    To be less of a jerk, I guess I could say DA is a decent game (but still not nearly as good as some other less well known RPG's) but a huge disapointement given all the hype around it.

    Of course your definition of a plot seems to be narrowly defined by one single story that the game progresses through. Of course, ME1 had that in the sense that any side quest (except for a few) was not very deep and usually consisted of a one-liner message at the end and that was it. The few character-based missions (like for Garrus, Grunt, and Tali) were very, very short and left much to be desired. Personally I like character-based stories with a general plot behind it that gives overtones on the character stories, and theres nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with liking the one story kind of plot that ME1 has either.


    But again, try it for yourself, dont take our word for it.

    Though be warned, the combat in ME1 is horrendous.

    Don't get Fable 3. Biggest disappointment of the year.

    Oh yeah? I enjoyed Fable 2 with my god-daughter, but am no longer living there, hence no more Xbox. Care to share a brief perspective? I'm very curious.

    I was a big fan of Fable 1 and 2, so I am not new to the series. For Fable 3, I pre-ordered the collectors edition as I expected it to be the same quality as its predecessors. In short, it was far from it.

    Every aspect of the game was really oversimplified from the second, including the story and the games DLC is a complete joke as it is obvious they removed aspects of the game to repackage it as you see these big gaping holes where things were meant to be (like dye colours).

    If you are completely new and want a over simplified RPG, then Fable 3 is for you. But if you are a fan of the previous games, you want to give it a miss. It was the Phantom Menace of the series.

    I think I saw a review of it somewhere that listed the problems with it.
    Here we go, just dont watch it with children the reviewer isnt exactly restrained when it comes to cursing.: http://blip.tv/play/hdEVgpniagI
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
