Fable 2

[Swan]

So anybody pick this up yet?

I did and have logged a few hours in to it so far.

I am enjoying it. Character models are much better then first one.



And best thing, I managed to have unprotected sex with a random girl within one of hour of playing.



And I hadn't even killed anything yet:D

[Ginkasa]

I've got it. I like it so far, but I can't say I have a real verdict on the game as a whole yet....

If anyone sees my little bubble in your world, go ahead and invite me or jump into my world. Fun times.

[Dyne]

I'm definitely intrigued by this.

[Swan]

Some random guy I didn't know I had on my friends list showed up as a bubble in my game.

I was confused.




The combat in this game is alot more fluid then the last game as well. Easy to switch between long range, melee and magic

I am tempted by this but Fallout is soooooo close

Oh wait

Dont do it! If its a choice between Fallout 3 and Fable 2, then get Fallout 3.

This

[Dylflon]

That's my exact reasoning for not getting Fable 2. I just can't afford both games.

[Fox 6]

So I played it at Combines house on the weekend and it is very fun. Giant cleaver for the win!

Ill be picking it up later, or christmas gift

Can you still kick chickens? Because then I'm not getting it.

Oh wait, I'm not getting it any way.

And you can kill bunny rabbits

The dog was so cool. I really liked that aspect. I named mine Meatball.

woof woof.

[Swan]

I named mine Dor Mamu but after playing coop with Combine the other day I haven't seen him.

[Fox 6]

Holy crap, after looking through screen shots I see that this game is beautiful. Combines' TV is horribly dark.

[Combine 017]

Hey, only night time was horribly dark. The rest was decent.

And the majority of the time seemed to be night.

Overall, I think Fable 2 is a definite imporvement over the first, espeically in the size of the game, but to me the game still didn't adress some of it's more glaring issues.

1) Items - The choice and diversity of weapons and items is still shallow at best. In a role playing game, especially an action rpg, items and weapons are EVERYTHING, and once again the Fable selection is weak.

2) The World - I've been playing for a while and Albion is beautiful but it all look beautiful in the same way for the most part, but I think I might be coming up ona significant shift in setting change in the game now. We'll see. As fior the the "life" of the world, it still seems a bit false. I think this has a lot to do with the sound fx. After playing Mass Effect and seeing how sounds can create such a lush and lively world, it's disappointing to see Fable falter on this.

3) The Story - I've skipped every dull piece of exposition in the game. A static camera with slow, plodding dialogue? Couldn't they have at least done cut scene's with in-game models and graphics? It's just lazy.

Overall, Fable 2 feels more like Oblivion for Kids than a real action RPG meant to survive on its own merits. It looks good and plays well, but in the end it still feels like it could have been so much better if someone else were in charge of these same ideas.

[Professor S]

While I still hold all the criticisms I had in the above post, I must also add that I am addicted to the game and have been playing it non-stop. It actually pulled me off of TF2, and that is an epic feat unto itself.

What Fable 2 does well, it does very well.

Does anyone else’s game freeze on them? Mine freezes a ridiculous amount of time. So much so that’s its totally unplayable. I looked up other forums and found some other people having the same issue but not here. I looked at the support page at xbox but they didn’t even address the issue and I emailed lion head but they told me to talk to xbox about it.

[Professor S]

I think it froze once on me, and I've beaten the game twice now, and spent probably 70+ hours overall playing. I haven't had an issue.

[Angrist]

PETA gave this game an animal-friendliness award. Because you can eat soy and be just as strong as meat-eaters, while you get prettier.

*golf clap*

[Angrist]

Yeah it's stupid. You get to kick chickens, kill off your dog, shoot birds from rooftops... but hey, you can be a vegetarian, so it's an animal loving game!

[RoachGnome]

I seriously can’t play this game! It freezes on me every twenty minutes! I don’t know what to do. I downloaded the new update and thought it was fixed but two hours later … it froze. I can’t believe none of you have encountered this problem. And no it’s not my Xbox it plays all my other games just fine plus it’s a new elite which I bought myself for Christmas. Any suggestions? Have any of you played Knothole Island yet? Is it worth it? That is if I can get my game to work.

[Professor S]

My thoughts are its likely the disk. I've never had an issue.

Try installing the game to your hard drive. That way you will be playing it off of memory instead of it reading the actual disc which might have scratches or something.
