    Playing Fable 2 I felt that I was being entertained throughout but when I finished it I had the deepest sense that those 8 hours were a complete waste of my life. I don't know why, it has this weird feeling that the game is merely a distraction, a sparkly bit of paper on the floor of the multi-storey where I parked my car. It caught my eye and then once it was over it was as though I had shook my head and snapped out of it. What a terrible, terrible game cleverly disguised as something fun.

    yes this exactly

    it didn't help that I had played deadspace immediately prior

    I once had an idea for Pokemon steampunk

    I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

    the original fable was infinitely more fun for me than its sequel

    though I'm not really sure why

    I had the same exact feeling, and a big reason was the ending was just really stupid and invalidated anything you did. Like, you could've just walked in there from the beginning with a rusty ass crossbow with 0 experience and left all the heroes to get captured and had the same result.

    personally i was hoping for more stuff from the DLC, slowly building more story into the game but alas.

  • Me Too!Me Too! __BANNED USERS
    The ending sucked but I have fun walking around with a +5 Sword of Fuck Off And Die and killing things and also I took the dog

  • Viscount IslandsViscount Islands [INSERT SoKo HERE] Registered User regular
    Fable 2 honestly had the shallowest story ever.

    What was the third choice at the end anyway

    One million gold, the dog, and what else

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    No money, no dog, and everyone loves you for some reason.

    Every other game where I make choices I usually go on the good side. But there is absolutely no reason to not be evil in this game. In fact you get more achievements if you are a dick

  • Viscount IslandsViscount Islands [INSERT SoKo HERE] Registered User regular
    The Dog was obviously the best choice.

    Who the hell cares about the rest of those assholes?

    Fuck that if I'm not feared by everyone I ain't doing it right

    On that note

    The clothing choices while cool were not as good as the armor from Fable 1

    I want some scary fucking plate armor dammit

  • Viscount IslandsViscount Islands [INSERT SoKo HERE] Registered User regular
    Yeah why was there no armour?

    The best and most expensive clothes always looked gayest in this game.

    Better boss battles.

    That for me was the biggest weakness of Fable 2. Trolls and Balverines in Fable TLC were run of the mill monsters. In Fable 2, they were the be all end all of the monsters you faced. Fable TLC capped off the Arena with a giant fucking scorpion from hell. You fought the original Balverine, a horde of wraiths, Thunder if you so chose, the Guildmaster if you so chose, the Kraken, Jack of Blades, oh and a fucking DRAGON

    Your fuckin' family's dug into the Southie projects like ticks. You, however, grew up on the North Shore, huh? Well, la-di-fuckin'-da. You were kind of a double kid, I bet, right? Huh? One kid with your old man, one kid with your mother. You're upper-middle class during the weeks, then you're droppin' your "R"s and you're hangin' in the big, bad Southie projects with your daddy on the weekends. I got that right?

    I never got to fight the dragon

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    Well, the new modern heroes seemed to be weaker over all. So what was Tuesday for the heroes of old is hard work for the modern hero.

    Control wise sure

    But I liked being able to throw either a little spark or a huge fuck-off fireball

    in Fable III, you play the part of a blue-collar hero, working hard every day to put food on the table and raise your kids right

    Fable III is actually the console version of Harvest Moon that I've been waiting for

    I mean, I think it is a fantastic game. Everything is incredibly well done. But after beating it the most I could muster was one big yawn.

    Fable 2 was so shoddy, I won't even consider fable 3 at all. The co-op was broken and not-fun.

    speaking of co-op

    what the fuck, shadow complex?

    Shadow complex is a pass for me. It only makes me hungry for what I really want. Another 2d metroid game.

    Sans metroid and samus. I just want to see the story line go past the fusion era really. Having partial metroid cells in samus's dna could lead to interesting story line twists.

    Also, fable 2- I hated the dog. That stupid ass dog. Always barking and being a little bitch. Digging up stuff that was usually stupid. The dog didn't even TRY to help me in combat.

    I kind of liked fable two but I only paid like twenty bucks for it so

  • moocowmoocow Registered User regular
    I liked Fable II. I was pissed that Fable I was so short, but Fable II had all kinds of shit to do, even though it wasn't on the main quest line.

    Also, dog combat is not hard. Knock enemies down, dog rips out their throat. Rinse (in the spraying blood of your enemies) and repeat! I liked my dogs.

    I played through this game like 5 times. :D

    And like someone said on page 2 or something. Fable was eh, Fable 2 was all right, so that means Fable 3 will be pretty good! Follow the pattern, Molyneaux! Also, make the multiplayer worth a shit. Anchoring two consoles to the same screen is shit, not being able to bring my cool pimpass hero in is shit.
