Fable 2!

[Quirrbllil]

FABLE 2 IS OUT! GO GET IT, NOW! IF YOU DON'T I WILL EAT OUT YOUR LIVER, THEN PUSH YOU DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS AND MAKE SURE YOU NEVER WAKE UP!

But seriously, this game looks epic. I was planning on getting it after school, but my XBox went on the fritz, and now I either need to send it in and claim it was a manufacturing error, or I need to send it in and pay for repairs. Either way, I don't get to play the game that WILL BE GAME OF THE YEAR for a while.

Also, does 3/4 of a red circle around the power button mean manufacturing error, cause that's what I heard, and if it's true, then I can get it repaired without my dad knowing (he doesn't want the XBox to get fixed...) so I can play much, much sooner. Please respond.

3/4th = RROD. Have fun with that.

And I'm reserving judgment on this until it's been out for a little while and I get other opinions. I bought Fable 1 the day it came out on the original Xbox, and I don't want to have another huge disappointment in my collection.

[c123t3]

i soooo want it.. BUT.. i dont have xbox.. so im going to wait for PC version.. HAH.. that will be fun -.-

[Tyrfing]

All hail the shitty console. All hail.

I condemn you to death by eating your own self. You must eat your own toes, then work your way up your leg, then you can eat your torso. After that, you must eat your face.

How dare you say that Fable 1 was a dissapointment! I played it for 3 months straight, trying every possible action to find every possible reaction. Do you know how GROUNDBREAKING that type of thing was back when it was released? Fable 1 is godly. And Fable 2 has been in production for how long now?
Not only that, but they are adding so much depth into character relationships as well as development. There's like 6 DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS of personality in this, as opposed to the basic good/evil (that only counts as one classification).
Not only that, but online Co-Op. Did you see the video about family relationship? If invited into someone's world, you can KILL THEIR FAMILY! Then, you can laugh about it! I mean, that sucks and all for the world owner, but it's comedic gold that they accidentally programed, and only discovered by hours of testing. Although, I want to start a bet on how many people are going to do this in whichever world their invited into and post them on youtube.
And they added guns over bows and such. That makes it much more impressive.

The only negative comment I have about this game is the lack of the compass. The dog switch adds a deeper complexity and a larger challenge, which may be nice. Still, I got used to the compass showing me where the stupid area's were....... But the dog can apparently "tell" you where the enemies are, or where buried treasure is (remember the stupid all-powerful frying pan from those treasure clues [it's better than the Sword of Aeons and/or Avo's Tear])

But this game is still revolutionary, and my choice for Game of the Year.

I can only hope that they make an even more modern Fable (like in our timeframe), and a Futuristic Fable. Even if people complain that Lionhead is milking Fable past its due, I will stand by them in their every attempt to improve upon the Fable games.

IGN gave it 9.5/10 (same as LBP) so yeah it looks pretty damn good. I would be playing it now but i live in the UK so its friday for me but i'll get it ASAP and then probably sign out of college for the day. Then i will enjoy the half term playing Fable 2 for a week and a half then look forward to GoW2.

I was waiting for some idiot out there to say something like that.
God forbid technology to occasionally break! I've had more iPods and DVD drives fall out over my 360. (Which, is at a lovely 0 times, and I've owned & played it for over 2 years.)

And sorry, but I really disliked Fable 1. The combat was fun, but it was too short. After completing the main storyline, even with that extra chapter or whatever on the PC version, there was very little compelling me to play it again. Don't get me wrong, the first run through was very enjoyable, as I really enjoyed the combat system. But to go back and play it again and again? No thanks. It's not like I rushed through the game either, I took time and found as many of those Demon Gates or whatever as I could, and tried to get all those godly weapons. It's just too short, which is a shame because it is fun to play.

GodyofWar2? :/


But meh.....I haven't played Fable 2, yet, but I'm pretty sure it's way too overhyped - like all games, nowadays.

I played Baldur's Gate for freaking 3 years straight, noob.

And stop including a pointless generic flame spam into your post...
People either don't even read that crap or will just think that you are a time wasting idiot.

~+~

Yea, Fable 2;

Surely going to be more fun without spoilers...

LOL. ppl now refer it to gears of war 2 or w.e. They forgot how amazing GoW (god of war) reall was.

you mean the fact that GoW was also super overhyped, and the only reason people actually played it was because the blood and violence, plus the chainsaw gave the illusion it was one of the best games ever?

yeah i thought the same and i dunno im not a major halo/unreal fan but i prefer game modes like that more than it being all tatical. But meh each to their own.

Anyone acually got fable yet then? i was gonna get the collectors edition but the gear they give (halo crap) i probs wouldnt use unless it was overpowered cause eww halo in fable? thats as bad as Yoda/Darthvader in Soulcaliber totally uneeded funny but uneeded. And the extra cave is probs gonna be on the xbox market soon enuff.

So is it good? I loved fable 2 completed it quite a few times so hoping this will be as good. And i hope this time they bring out an expansion faster than they did before.

[Beret]

Ugh, too bad I don't have a 360 !

I'll wait for PC, if it ever comes out >>

Don't worry, MS is to greedy to not release the game for PC. Now the question is just WHEN it'll happen. I say spring/summer, next year.

It probably will, like if an expansion comes out, they'll just package it as game + expansion, kinda like they did with the original Fable.

I'll agree with the over hyped part, especially about it being best game ever. I will say, however, that the game is pretty fun, and GoW2 looks like it'll be pretty alright as well. Maybe I just enjoy third person shooters now and again, I dunno. Again, not GoTY or anything worthy, but I could see me fragging it up for a couple weeks, at least.

However, Fallout 3 is a much higher priority in terms of games I'll buy this year. GoW2 will have to wait.

Got this 3 days ago and it really is an awesome game I recommend it to you if you like this style of game cos I don't usually play games like these, skipped fable 1 but I thought might as well try it out and it was awesome. Would be playing it right now if I wasn't trying to finish GoW2 campaign :P

[Quirrbllil]

and now I'm happy. Not only can I not play it on the Box, but (thank god for hax0rz) there is a PC .iso type version out! SO NOW I CAN PLAY!!!!!!! I LOVE LIFE, JESUS, GOD, OR WHOEVER IS UP THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And also (here's fair warning) if anyone trashes this game, I am coming to your house and BITING YOUR TORSE.... as well as cutting your heart out, like you have done to mine....... also, for those who already have, I know your IP's (AND IF I DON'T, I WILL FIND THEM!)! I WILL FIND YOU, YOU EMOTIONLESS NO-HEART-DESERVING BASTARDS!

Fable 1 wasn't groundbreaking. It was disappointing.

no
your wrong, sure it wasnt "groundbreaking" but it was one of the best games on the original xbox


my brother got Fable 2 today and was playing
its pretty sex

[Manic]

I'm a bit let down to be honest. The game wasn't what I expected, and it deviated from the fairy tale atmosphere of the original quite a bit. Sure, it's still a fantasy game, but it's much darker than it's predecessor.

Oh well, Gamestop gets Far Cry 2 tomorrow.

[V-Opolis]

Blaaaaaaaaarrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggggggggg !!

Whereeeeeeeeeee!?!?!?!??!?!!

[Sylce]

Why does a 8.5 rating from Gamespot, and a 8.8 rating from IGn not feel amazing anymore..

Remember the good ol' days when 8+ was amazing.. now it seems medocore.

LBP got a 9.5 from IGN - fking epic.

PS3 ftw! xD

[Bryan]

PS3 ftw! xD

Amen to that, brother.

[Valostar]

Lol you call that not fanboyism. The other rating hardly matter.. but LBP still won in all of them except the aussies where they tied.

Then you look at gamespot where they won again.

I rest my case.
n.n

Anyways - obviously I like Fable2 ~ it just feels good to have a game better then Xbox coming out around the same time. Xbox fanboys can't really say much now that they get to play Fable2 - because we'll be, "lulwut - srry - i wuz playing LBP".

that's why i love having 360 and PS3..i get to play both i don't have to argue about it cuz i know both will be great games.

[hellzscream]

What sets fable apart from other games i never played it before.
