Fable 2
 
Right, it's out next month and I cannot fucking wait. Easily the highlight of the year for me and I hope it doesn't disappoint.

For those of you who "cheated" on Pub Games, Lionhead have said the cheat was intentional and anyone who used it is in for a surprise when they play the game for real.

Not only that, but some of the achievements are out there. Any achievement can be gained by doing something, or witnessing another hero do it in co-op, including, for a whopping 30GS, "Witnessing or taking part in a debauched bedroom party with more than 2 participants"

I'm really hoping this game isn't more Lionhead hyperbole because I am PUMPED

Kane Knight 09-23-2008 04:51 PM

Is Fable something worth picking up at this point? I'm not sure if I'm interested in Dable 2 or not, because I'm not familiar with it.

Kane Knight 09-23-2008 04:53 PM

Also, does it play like shit on a 360?

#BROKEN Hasney 09-23-2008 04:57 PM

I played through Fable: The Lost Chapters on a 360. Loading times were a little strong compared to my normal XBox (Although I was using a DVD-R to play it on my 360 Vs. not on my XBox) but it played great.

Honestly, I think it's the only XBox game that still stands up today.

Kane Knight 09-23-2008 05:08 PM

IS there a lot in TLC that makes it better? I ask because I can find the original game a lot cheaper, but it seems dumb to miss out.

#BROKEN Hasney 09-23-2008 05:11 PM

Once you've finished the main game, a new area opens up with more quests and a new short story. Nothing I would lose sleep over missing to be honest. (Although you do get to kill one annoying prick who I wanted to kill through the entire game but couldn't)

The Destroyer 09-23-2008 05:36 PM

Release could be timed better to be honest - only out a week before Fallout 3 and there's only room for one massive RPG in my life. :(

#BROKEN Hasney 09-23-2008 05:37 PM

Yeah, which is why Fallout has slipped down the list for me to get slightly :)

Destor 09-23-2008 05:39 PM

Can't wait for Fallout 3.

El Fangel 09-24-2008 03:24 AM

KK, I can honestly say that Fable: TLC is one of the best live-adventure games I have played. Its pretty up there (Near Zelda: OoT

Disturbed316 09-24-2008 05:27 AM

Havent paid much attention to the details of this as I want to be surprised when I play through. Cant wait for this.

You can get The Lost Chapters for $10..

Hella worth it..

BigDaddyCool 10-14-2008 01:29 PM

Shadow told me he heard bad things about this game. But otherwise it looks good. What should I do?

#BROKEN Hasney 10-14-2008 01:50 PM

From who/where? There's been no reviews yet and the previews are pretty good.

The only bad thing is that online co-op would not be ready at launch, but they've fixed that now and it will be ready as a patch on the release day

Kris P Lettus 10-14-2008 02:28 PM

Shadow is full of shit..

Shadow got his information from Jeff Hardy, who saw it in one of his *wink wink, nudge nudge* dreams.

I saw people bitching about how horrible it was that you have to download a patch just to play online. But I'm thinking, you know, how does it matter? Since you have to be online to play online anyway....

Kris P Lettus 10-14-2008 04:26 PM

I don't care about the online shit..

#BROKEN Hasney 10-14-2008 04:34 PM

This is the only game where I do care about the online stuff. It's the same as the single player, only there are two of you. Hell, you can even fuck his wife while the other guy is on a mission or something.

Kris P Lettus 10-14-2008 04:35 PM

lol

LOL Really? That's twisted. :D

D Mac 10-15-2008 05:28 AM

Bought Fable through XBL Marketplace onto my hard drive, never finished it.

Funky Fly 10-15-2008 04:50 PM

Yeah, I need to get back into Fable and see the other 3 endings.

Kane Knight 10-15-2008 08:12 PM

I haven't got too far. Anyone else get a lot of freezeups on Fable? I know there tend to be problems with BC titles.

Funky Fly 10-15-2008 10:18 PM

Problems with Fable played on a 360: Constantly lagging framerate. Menu to game demos not "'dummied'" and result in a fatal error.

Problems with Fable: TLC played on a 360: Very slow to start up and after about 2-4 hours will crash and need restarting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._with_Xbox_360

Kane Knight 10-15-2008 10:47 PM

I haven't noticed a lot of framerate drops. I have noticed freezing, though.

Funky Fly 10-15-2008 11:07 PM

I have TLC, so once I hit the 1.5 hour mark I usually save, go back to the dashboard and then fire up Fable and pick up where I left off.

On a semi-related note I need to go and finish up Jade Dragon. I've seen the open palm ending and the neutral ending, alls gotta do is come back to life and see the closed fist ending.

#BROKEN Hasney 10-19-2008 04:36 PM

ARGHH, I don't know whats better, this or Fallout 3. The dog is a great addition, much more than just a gimmick. Some stuff I've done below:

SPOILER: show
After one of my friends dad was murdered, as she was giving the eulogy, I danced on his grave. Hilarious.

Had a fivesome. Killed one of my wives because she cheated on me, but now I'm a single dad to baby Matt. You can choose protected or unprotected sex. Commisioned several statues of myself. All in all I'm going to hell in Fable 2 if that exists. Hell, I'm even going to sacrifice my kid for 10k once he comes of age.

LOL. I can't wait for the outcry from the media once part of that comes out.

Working the midnight launch for this tonight.

Gonna pick up my copy, maybe the guide just to read it.

Hope the online co-op will be patched in soon.

Destor 10-20-2008 08:37 PM

Just watched the review for this on X-Play (they gave it a 5 out of 5 btw.) While I can wait for the price to fall out of this one, it looks like a game worth owning.

UmbrellaCorporation 10-20-2008 09:10 PM

Can't wait for this. Going tonight at midnight.

Funky Fly 10-20-2008 10:06 PM

Yeah, I got the special edition preordered. Gonna pick it up tomorrow.

Mine's gonna be delivered to me tomorrow. They had a release date delivery guarantee. :D

UmbrellaCorporation 10-20-2008 10:42 PM

Shit. Gotta pick up my LE tonight, but look at this, guys:


According to one of our readers, today's shipment of Fable II Collector's Edition may wind up being less than it was cracked up to be, at least at some GameStop stores. After already being whittled down to near bare bones status, with special CE packaging and a limited Hobbe figurine having already been gutted, all that was left of the more limited SKU was the "Bonus DVD with a new 'Making-of' Feature" and exclusive in-game content.

That content, which requires Xbox Live, featured the following.
• “The Hall of the Dead” Dungeon
• “The Wreckager” Legendary Cutlass Weapon
• Spartan armor and energy sword

If what we heard is true, some of you may not even get that.

According to the report, GameStop corporate has already informed stores that "the majority of Fable II LEs have shipped without the DLC cards inside the case." Allegedly, that's due to two different manufacturing plants.

"Gamestop has told stores that cases WITH an orange '48 hours of live' sticker includes the content, whereas the copies of the game without said sticker do not have the card," the reader wrote. "I can vouch for the missing DLC because I have my copy in hand and it does not include it."

We've checked in with Microsoft PR to verify if this information is true or not, and, if so, how they plan on distributing the content to buyers of Fable II's Collector's Edition. Consider this rumor for now, but to be on the safe side, you might want to make sure your copy has one of those fancy orange stickers on it.
