Fable 2

Recommended Posts

Ahh, Fable, how I remember the awesomeness you had. Now move over and make way for the next one!

 

There wasn't a thread about this.. I don't think, so here, have one!

 

There's a ton of new things this time round, the inclusion of a dog companion;

Not to mention, Co-Op?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfcclBmVhN4

 

Man it gets better and better.

 

Also, take a trip to ye olde Official Website, and check out some of the new screenies! Hobbes away!

The titles as well are taking a beating, what with the inclusion of the new title: Lionheart, (personally I love this title, and will DEFO use it!) The developers have become tired with.. Dare I say it.. 'Areseface'! And have challenged the community to create another title in it's place!

And the release date has been speculated to be around late 2008 sometime. I'd place my bets on near Autumn to be honest.

As long as it doesn't crash constantly in certain places like like the original then I'll be pretty happy.

I'm kind of avoiding information on this so as to avoid being 'Molyneauxed'. I'll definitely be picking it up, though: I enjoyed the first game, even if it was a pale imitation of the game the years had built it up to be.

 

Oh, but if anyone shoots my wife I'll be forced to come and trample on your flowers and kick your chickens!

"Ohhhh, its the chicken chaser!"

Fable was basically the Lylat Wars of RPG's. I liked it, really liked it... but it was nothing special.

 

Peter Molyneaux talks so much bull shit its actually annoying...

To be fair to Molyneaux, he has gotten better. Everything he has said will be in it he has shown...at least to my knowledge,

Really looking forward to this game, the co-op should be immense. I could see this being delayed into early next-year though, it is trying to achieve an awful lot at once!

I can't wait! Loved the first game (though i never completed it, my PC broke and i couldn't be arsed to start again).

 

I can't help but worry that co-op is gonna turn in to you're partner mindlessly killing NPCs for "the shits and giggles" though :(

Haha, yeah I can imagine that happening too. But let's be honest, who in the first game DIDN'T just say:

"Ah screw being good!"

And run around the school place killing EVERYONE then seeing how long you could survive against the guards?

 

...Well, I did :heh:

Thats strange you say that.

 

I never did that on my first play through. I was just good to everyone! :)...

 

Apart from when i killed an entire village and put all the houses up for rent to make me stupidly large amounts of money.

Yup, thats what i did. Usually didn't save the game though

 

If anyone pissed me off i killed them, they're family, they're friends and a whole army of guards. Then i'd reload from the last save ;)

I'm definitely interested in this game, although obviously not expecting the best game ever.

Definitely wouldn't play co-op as it seems pretty easy to fuck up someones game for them.

I've been playing the original recently, it's brilliant, I've loved it for years now ^.^ I'm planning on getting an xbox360 in june and the first game I shall buy should hopefully be fable 2, the trailers look brilliant.

 

As it is I haven't ever managed to finish fable so I'm abit confused on whether the original hero is in this one or is it a new hero?

 

ps. I've started to get white hair on halo haha XD even though I'm realllllly nice to everyone..where possible.

This looks awesome. I love how you can starve your kids if you want to.

I've never played the first, I might pick it up.

Lol. How vindictive! :smile: I can't wait to kill my mates' spouses (although I suspect that may spark off a malicous battle).

Fair enough then, would be a bit hypocritical for me to complain considering my parents bought me my first Leeds ticket (and one for my then GF, which i sold for £150 when we broke up, giving me my spending money)

 

What games you picking up?

Buy it on eBay, theres probably loads of em going cheap on there by now, that way even if you do get it and you don't like, it's not so bad.

 

*back on topic*

 

Never played the original Fable, was curious about it but never bothered, I haven't seen anything on Fable 2 but I'm guessing it's like the same or similar to the original but bettererer? ... :blank:

 

So I may get it, depending on how many other games I still have left to complete by then. :heh:

It's not not good Jordan. It's one of the best and worst games I've played.

Free running was awesome. It made it one of the best games I'd palyed last year.

The story was shit, that made it the worst game I had played last year.

Seriously, the story was really bad, I wish they just left you in ancient times and had to assassinate these people.

But there will be a second though so the story might mean something.

 

It was the Halo 2 of the Assassins Creed franchise. Hopefully.
