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 |
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.
|
Also, does it play like shit on a 360?
|
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. |
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.
|
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)
|
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. :(
|
Yeah, which is why Fallout has slipped down the list for me to get slightly :)
|
Can't wait for Fallout 3.
|
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
|
Havent paid much attention to the details of this as I want to be surprised when I play through. Cant wait for this.

Hella worth it.. |
Shadow told me he heard bad things about this game. But otherwise it looks good. What should I do?
|
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 |
Shadow is full of shit..

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.... |
I don't care about the online shit..
|
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.

lol

Bought Fable through XBL Marketplace onto my hard drive, never finished it.
|
Yeah, I need to get back into Fable and see the other 3 endings.
|
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.
|
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 |
I haven't noticed a lot of framerate drops. I have noticed freezing, though.
|
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. |
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:

Sold. |
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. |
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.
|
Can't wait for this. Going tonight at midnight.
|
Yeah, I got the special edition preordered. Gonna pick it up tomorrow.

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. www.kotaku.com |
