Quote:
If you haven't played one or both then Fallout 3 is the more hardcore game, combat is an in-depth experience using up your AP points and having to repair weapons all the time while Fable 2 is very friendly, there's not even a magic bar for spells, you just have to charge up higher level ones. In terms of atmosphere, Fable 2 is a very interactive enviroment with lots of things going on and weddings, baby making and all this things to do, especially with your best buddy the dog. Fallout 3 feels like a desolate wasteland, which it's supposed to. Fable 2 also has an awesome sense of humor which is very British. Overall, I'd say Fable 2 because it feels very much like a Zelda game with a lot of extras but they're both similar only in the fact they're called RPGs, they're completley different in every way really and in a lot of crucial design elements, they're polar opposites of each other. Fable 2 has more replay value and the co-op sells it for me easily. But DLC could change that for either game. They're both fantastic games though so if you just flip a coin, you can't lose. |

I've put about 23 hours into it so far.
Fucking awesome. Hansey, I'm currently picking up Fable 2, Golden Axe Beast Rider, Moto GP 08, PES 09 and Saints Row 2. |

Add Hasney as a friend on XBox Live and you can see I've completed the main quest and a bunch of side quests

Let me know how Golden Axe is, bit iffy on grabbing it.
Try them all before Fable 2 though, that's kinda addictive

Play gave it a 90, but they said the "lack of multiplayer" was on of its strengths....

30 odd hours inc a few side quests, but I bypassed some of the main quest the same way Hansey did, due to me wanting to do cool side quests and falling across more advanced main quest stuff along the way. Beware, if you compete the main quest it seems you are done for as far as completing any other quests go.

IGN Review:
9.5 Presentation The atmosphere and style are everything you could ask for and more. A few bugs and camera issues keep things from perfection. 9.0 Graphics The landscapes are wonderful. The character models and animations could be a lot better. 9.5 Sound Excellent voice acting and a soundtrack that completely fits the game's mood. The sound effects aren't bad either. 10 Gameplay A rare combination of excellent combat and deep role-playing. 9.5 Lasting Appeal A more focused experience than much of what Bethesda has created in the past that begs to be played for hours and hours. This is one game you won't soon forget. 9.6 Incredible OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) |

Small little tidbit you might find interesting.
Bethesda top brass orders all marketing pulled for Fallout 3. From trailers, banners, etc. Word is it's making some people in D.C. a little edgy. Bethesda Pulls Fallout 3 Marketing 'In Connection with ESRB Guidelines' by Blake Ellison Oct 27, 2008 6:36pm CST tags: Fallout 3, ESRB Censorship and Bethesda's Fallout 3 (PC, 360, PS3) are good friends, and the two just got a little closer: Bethesda has asked gaming websites including Shacknews to pull all trailers for the open-world RPG. The request came from Bethesda marketing VP Pete Hines in an e-mail which is reproduced below. The e-mail does not delve into the reasoning behind the decision, but says the request is "in connection with ESRB's advertising guidelines." The move comes on the eve of Fallout 3's release, with thousands of retailers ready to start selling the game at midnight tonight, and follows a widely-reported public complaint regarding depictions of post-apocalyptic Washington DC in Fallout 3 ads. The ESRB struck last year when news outlets including Shacknews were asked to remove trailers for D3 Publisher's Dark Sector, with the rating board citing "gameplay montages [which] have been deemed to contain excessive or offensive content." The full e-mail from Hines follows: In connection with ESRB's advertising guidelines, you are instructed to remove immediately any of our Fallout 3 trailers from your website, pending further notice. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Pete Last edited by ClockShot; 10-28-2008 at 09:58 AM. |

Dunno, the supermarket one was fun, what with the robot on your side and everything.
I didn't even do the minefield one. I just lied and said I did, and gave her oneof the mines I picked up on the bloodties quest. |

Wow, this game is incredible. The only gripe I have so far is the layout of Rivet City. It makes sense due to its location, but come on, that shit is awful for trying to find everyone there.

lol came across a group of raiders doing a hazing ritual. One was in the middle with no armor, and the others were whacking him with sticks, saying "don't flinch!". Targeted the middle one for a grenade strike, with V.A.T.S, and watched as all five flew 15 feet in the air in slow motion. Fuckin' great.
Also, I was on a side quest that gives you an ally. Ran into some super mutants toward the end, and one jumped her while she was reloading. So I ran over with my sledgehammer, since I built my guy up to be a melee powerhouse, and swung for the fences. Aaaaaaaaaand struck a critical blow on my ally instead of the mutant. Yeah she was dead. Good news was I didnt have to split the money for the mission, got her superior combat armor, ad siiiiick custom 10mm. But there are additional missions from the same employer that she may have helped me on. Oh well. |
