Fable Anniversary | The Completionist 

What's your favorite game that offers consequence of choice?

2:02 "And trust me my morals are shaky at best." [Has flashback to Jirard eating his popcorn wife] Indeed they are Jirard, indeed they are.

Hero your will energy is low, watch that.

Oh, it's the chicken chaser! Hello Chicken Chaser!

Feels like you’re comparing it to games of now rather than back then

Fable 1 is the best of all fables

How dare he insult this beautiful classic

Every NPC in Fable: Albion Jirard: OWL BEE ON

I LOVE this game. Played it atleast 5 times. Just have to take it for what it is and at the time there wasn't much else like it.

Hell yeah for Fable. This is probably the first game I actually completed because I love it so much. Now I want to play it again!

The story and setting isn't too bad, but you do actually have to go in-depth and read the books within the setting. Stuff like the Court of Blades, the Rise of Will, The Old Kingdom, etc, are all hidden in the background, and unless you actually dig in, you're not really gonna get much in terms of setting fluff.

One does not simply break a Duke controller.

"I've never played the sequels." Immeditaly plays the music box theme from Fable 2

To this day, I can never hear the name "Peter Molyneux" in my head, without the voice saying it being that of Guru Larry...

I might just be simple, but this is still by far my favorite rpg. Like I'm genuinely considering buying an Xbox 1 simply to play it.

I feel personally attacked by this review lol. I've played Fable 1-3, including Anniversary, about 12 or so times each. I adore each one. Just let yourself be in the game, man! Lol

Who’s here after Fable 4 was announced!

a crap sonic game gets only good compliments yet you bash fable.. mate... you need help

Jokes on you, I already beat it And how the hell did you NOT enjoy it? It's better than some of the others you played.

I felt my insides melt when he beat up those controllers

"Jack of blades isnt really q villain. Just a dude who wants a sword and you're going to stop him. cause... why?" Jack of blades killed your whole family and stole your sister. That's your goal for getting him. The plot twists that come after make sense. Jirard in your most recent video you state that when a video game company rushes a game that the gamer can tell. Well jirard. It surely felt like you rushed this review. This is a 2004 game. The extra lore is found by delving into the game. Reading the books. Interacting with the npcs. Sorry jirard. I usually agree with you. But you're way off on this one. Like Mario sunshine.

One thing that I liked is at the end of TLC was seeing my character after beating Jack of Blades as a dragon, this old grizzled 60 something year old man, it really made me appreciate the idea that the hero’s whole life has been dedicated to fighting Jack seeing him slowly go from this scrawny kid to a seasoned adventurer to The lost chapter having him be this grizzled veteran with a full beard and a set of silver hair, by the time it’s over I feel like my hero found a quiet place and retired with my characters wife

Oh come on! This was a great game! The game play was fun af

The music from Fable, holy shit man I used to smoke weed to this soundtrack

Fable was the game that got me back into gaming.

Fable is one of my favorite games ever, played it through maybe 10 times! I loved getting the merchant in Hook Coast drunk and steal all of his stuff over and over again! 10/10 would steal again! Evil +1 :D

FABLE, is a flawed, Masterpiece!. Makes no sense, who cares, Love Fable.

Fable is one of my favorite games of all time and playing it again now for the first time since release it still holds up. Admittedly I wasn't in on the hype before release, but it's still one of my fondest memories from the 1st gen xbox era. Not sure if you mentioned you played the original or not, but it's a game released in 2004 and is still worth playing.

This game was so amazing when it came out. The fact that your character changed from the way you played, and the aspect of getting people to like you or dislike you by dancing or farting, that was amazing. It hasn’t been topped yet tbqh. The art style was so awesome.

The first fable was an absolute banger; the series could of gone to great things. Shame

Jirard, I hope you give Fable 2 a chance, at least on your own time. Personally, I VASTLY prefer it to the original or Fable 3. The world is more alive, free-roaming, and changeable, I found the characters more memorable, and the dog adds a whole new dimension of gameplay (and, sometimes, annoyance).

Fable 3 equally successful? I don't think i can sub

Do you know what the guy that invented Hotcakes said as they were rapidly selling out? _*"These sales are unprecedented!"* _

I like this game, like its alright, but this is another review where a lot of criticisms seem unwarranted.

Gotta say, I strongly disagree on this one. I didn't play the original Fable until years after it came out, and I adored it. I think you're looking too much for a serious game in a game that's intended to be goofy.

0:46 "I'm a good person who makes good choices." Jesus Christ, this has aged like cheese.

"made the original feel like a test run" are you sure about that

Fable 2 was my favorite and I am endless disappointed there has yet to be a PC release for it!

I literally know every silver key location, ive beaten this game over 20 times not even an exaggeration. I made a 2nd account to score 1000 gamerscore on this game and all i have left is the smartglass app 3 days in

You know this game came out on the OG Xbox right? It was way ahead of its time, I don’t understand why your being so harsh on a 14 year old game.

Fable Anniversary is one of those games I probably go back to at least once a year. It's silly stupid fun with mostly enjoyable features, so I'm psyched to see you play it here on the channel. Great video, Jirard. Keep up the good work.

This series has always meant a lot to me. I'm sad Peter Molyneaux never got to deliver on the things he always wanted to.

“Chicken chaser! Look at the chickens run!”

Best line in the videos "hey man we aint got many more of those."

You know the worst thing about all those games that are like "ooooh, you can be good or evil! The choice is yours!"? The game always wants you to just be pure good or pure evil. If you want to do the options you like the most instead, you just get penalized. So it's not actually that the choice is yours, it's that you choose between two storylines and one has a little more fighting than the other.

The first game is my favorite tbh. The second one is alright. And the third, altough nostalgic for me, was REALLY FREAKIN BAD.

I just cam over from a Watch Mojo compilation on their top RU-vidrs of 2017, Instantly subscribed and rang the bell. I'm going to binge your channel over the next few days as I have only a couple of games that I have 100% completed, but a ton where I'm close. Hopefully I'll find out some tips and tricks to help me with games like this one, I've been trying to 100% Fable Anniversary for about 2 years. Thank you in advance.

Hey Jirard, I just recently stumbled across your channel. I mean, I knew who you were. I watchted TB and Jesse and a lot of those folks. But I never really watched your stuff. Now I'm going through it a prodigious rate. I really enjoy your more analytical view of games along with the emphasis of how much fun they are (or are not..) Keep being awesome!

Oh, hey! Jirard is reviewing Fable! that's one of my favorites and I'm playing through it again right now, what a huge coincidence! ... oh, he didn't really like it? Darn... I personally prefer the original over the remaster. the characters faces in the original were not very good, but in HD they really fall into the uncanny valley. I'd actually go as far as to say the entire game looks uglier with the "fresh coat of paint." It also fixed the one good glitch in the game, the reverse aging one, and pretty much left the rest untouched. And the menus, don't even get me started on how butchered the menus are. it's basically a very, very bad, very lazy remaster, and I kind of lowkey hate it compared to the old one. I do think it's kind of hilarious that Jirard thought Jack's old voice was the better of the two. they changed it for the Lost Chapters, because the original was so unfittingly bad. But I will stand by him when he says the story isn't very good, and that Jack isn't a great villain. He's got an awesome design, and he does some pretty terrible stuff that can make you hate the guy, but other than that he's just after a sword and the rest of the story is very generic. Fable 2 basically had the same plot, but done so much better with a lot better cast, so I do hope he'll check that game out. As for the world? I actually really love Albion. Jirard may think that there isn't any variety and all the villages feel the same, but I don't. pus it's fun to wait until night time, then use slow time and kill everyone in their sleep while the guards aren't around and buy up all the property. And how did he spend so much time fishing? there are like, 20 fishing spots in total in Albion, and you can win the fishing minigame in about 3 tries. I should know, I did exactly that yesterday in my own playthrough. Took less than 3 minutes to get first place. I think you can even just go and buy a fish in town and use that in the contest to cheat, too. Also, this game has one of the best magic systems in any game I've ever played, due to the huge variety and how quick and simple it was. Want to be just a spellcaster? Plenty of spells to help. Want spells to help you as an archer? ghost swords, and enemy summons to keep the enemy away from you and multi arrows! Want to have spells to help with melee? Multi strike, protective shields, and berserk. Fable 2 kinda made it lamer, by removing some of the more unique spells and making it so that every spell needed to be charged to get to the next level instead of just always being the next level, and Fable 3 made every single spell work exactly the same to the point where there isn't even a point in using magic at all. I'm just going to have to disagree with Jirard on this one. Fable is one of the most fun games I've ever played, which is why I still come back to it all these years later. I love the humor, I like the world, love the combat and I like the choices it gives you, even if I think the second game handled the choice system better.

Fable is one of my favorites, flaws aside.

Ooof this intro has aged like a fine milk

Whoa it's kinda' crazy to me I haven't played Fable since back when it was new, I bought the anniversary edition when it was new, but didn't start playing it until this week... And you uploaded this a couple weeks ago... Must be something in the air... XD

I hope you get around to playing the other two sometime, the Fable series was a pleasant treat.

I remember watching my mom play this game all those years back. I was really young and I remember watching her play this and Kingdom Hearts 2.

i like how in his little rant about fable not being unique he brings up the heros guild and how anyone even villains can make a request cause its all about fame something that is super unique, its not like its as bland as he makes out either cause it directly links to the story you know the thing he claimed fable didnt have

Thank you for your videos! Love your content as always Jirard!

This game was so important to me when I was younger. Logged a lot of hours

5:20 Stop! That is a collectible. Treat it with respect!

I spent hundreds of hours on this game when I was younger and I still consider it not just the best Fable but also one of my favorite games of all time but to each of their own

Love your channel man keep up the good work

This game is absolutely perfect to me!!

Ive never clicked so fast on a video in my life

Been waiting awhile for this one super excited to watch so many memories

Playing through this game for the first time. It's so ambitious and way ahead of its time

Too bad the aging system was broken in this game

You should at least play Fable 2. Aside from the crap ending, it's a decent game.

I liked how you do the format of your videos and that you try many games all the way to the fullest even if you may not like it half way through. I would love it if you did a completionist review of Sly 4 :)

Great review man

Are you going to do the other Fable games cuz that would be cool there's also DLC

The first fable was the only good fable. 2 and 3 we're underwhelming.

Never seen Jirard get so mad before, good mercy! "Get in your hole" is now echoing through my head though

Cool vid, gonna start Fable Anniversary tonight after work

First one is still my favorite

I am entirely nostalgia blind, and still absolutely think fable 1 is by far the best one. (No I'm not insulting other people who agree with me, I'm just entirely incapable of being objective on this game)

First time I feel like I played a different game than you lol I was amazed by how in-depth it was being from 2004 (played the original in 2016 without hearing from it before) Idk to me it felt so chill and like a true classic gem I totally missed back when it first released, cause I was like 11 playing Nintendo stuff lul

“ go in ur home , go in ur home! “ lol great video

Fable used to be one of my favorite games of all time, only good memories of it, now I have the anniversary version on steam and couldn't play through an hour of it, it really didn't aged well, but in its prime it was revolutionary

I'm generally with you but I just don't think you get the idea or fun that is Fable 1

This was my first ever open world RPG. Ive asked so many times on twitter if youd do this game and it means so much to see it on your channel.

This game was so amazing back then. Can't wait to replay for all the steam achievements

I must be a simple peon of a man..I love Fable Lost Chapters to hell and back, though the Anniversary edition's "coat of paint" uplift leaves much to be desired.

I played all 3 fables games when they came out, and for me this one is the best by far. Not because it was my first one when i was like 11 years old (i played lost chapters), but because it was fresh and had so much love put into it. The world, the art style, the iconic soundtrack, the overall ambiance, silly and epic quests. Even side characters that were not very impactful by gameplay standart, i still remember way better than Fable 2 so called heroes. And there was such good moments during the story : the bandit clan, the white Balverine followed by the Arena was the strongest for me, and the prison part was imaginative. The weak part was the Heroes Guild because past the prologue there was no real interaction with the base members. And finally the magic system was way more versatile and interesting than the washed out fable 2 and Fable 3 version. I don't agree with a lot in this video on the technical/graphical aspect, but i understand the fact that many Molyneux's promises that were not fully accomplished tarnished this game legacy. (Sorry for my english)

Many of your issues are actually ironed out in Fable II.I really hope you decide to give it a go. I remember the first time I played it. I was honestly blown away by the story, the world, the artstyle and presentation. Although it retains some of the artistry of the first game it is massively improved and varied in comparison. You see the affect of your choices on the world. Unlike the first or third game. The second game really ended up feeling like the delivery on many of the promises from the first.

I cried for the troll AND the controller... It's time to the Completionist to do therapy XD

That duke controller can really take a beating not like the 360 ones I went and destroyed numerous times

All the soundtrack in this game is amazing I feel the same Nostalgia I feel for the Kotor or Halo 2 soundtrack even though I just bought it last year. And how dare you call Fable 3 "successful" 😤😤😤

Any video with Brett skits, are the best videos. :D

This was the first rpg I was ever introduced to. I was like 5 when I started playing. I was so bad I probably beat it a few years later. But since then I have beat it at least 30 times. I can beat it in 4 hours. I'm even gonna try to do a no damage playthrough

Zone of the Enders and Second Runner review please.

I still think fable 1 has the best characters and story. Where 2 and 3 just ended or felt like busy work.

Jirard,PLEASE, stop teasing us with the binding of isaac ost and give us the hole episode we have all been waiting for so long!!! Btw amazing episode as usual!

You missed a golden opportunity to make the chicken cop a Skyrim guard.

Well, its and old game and it deserves the respect of what it was back in the days. Saying fable is a bad game in 2018 because there are better RPGs now is like saying horses really suck because we have cars now

One of my favorite xbox games of all time. 10 TOPS!!

The hell did that duke controller do to you J!!!! You monster!!!!! Thats an antique!

I haven’t played Fable in more than a decade and just got Anniversary on Xbox Game Pass. I’m enjoying it but it definitely didn’t age well. I can still enjoy it and I’m having fun but I can definitely see how it was limited by the tech back in the day. That being said it’s bringing back good memories and I do have to say the sound track is amazing it really stands out and the music sticks in your head 🔥

i just played this about a week or so ago. its part of Game Pass too, thats how i picked it up. it was a pretty solid series, before Lionhead was sadly shut down.

Pour one out for that smashed Duke controller at 5:30

Did that controller even break looked resilient as can be too those handset blows lol.

Nice intro dude!!
