The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Biggest beef about Fable 2: the camera is so far away that you feel disconnected from what's going on with the characters.
This. It looked like an MMO to me, which is not exactly what I look for in an engaging RPG.
that's how i felt about fable 1 when it came out
it was like an MMO that you played by yourself

Well shit. I ran across this thread last night so I went upstairs to try to get Fable II for free from my 360.
$34.99.
Little did I know that if I had tried last night to download it from the XBox site I'd probably have a free copy right now.
Bah.

the only reason I was worried about my decision to get a PS3 rather than a 360

I actually kinda liked The Lost Chapters, although then again I'd been prepared to expect the absolute worst
Am I not missing much with Fable 2's continued absence from the PC
EDIT: Although all that said, I do recall that a lot of the flak came more from the disparity between what was promised and what was recieved, not just the overall quality

Fable is a decent rpg, but it's perfectly ignorable.

it's really interesting how overblown marketing changed people's reactions from "this is a really great game!" (because it was) to "eh, this wasn't that big a deal"

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
I don't know either. You'd think people would have learned not to believe a word Molyneux says after Fable 1. At this point I don't believe any developer once their self-hype reaches that certain fever pitch.

Making the only way to earn money aside from abusing the broken shitty economy of fable 2 literally doing QTE based minigames is so fucking retarded I don't even know

Well you also made money from bounties and stuff like that, right?
But yeah the only job that didn't make me want to break the disc was Blacksmithing. And that wasn't fun, just that it made more money so I didn't have to do it longer.

Gonna have to break all the negativity in this thread and say how much fun Fable 2 is, and how goddamn easy every single freakin' job was (doesn't make them any less monotonous, but thankfully they're not your primary source of income if you spend your money correctly).
A lot of people keep saying how awful they think the game is, while in the same breath say they're going to buy Fable 3. Hyperbole, much?

The only thing people said was awful is the end and the jobs.
So who's the hyperbolic one now?

Yeah. Personally I think Fable II is mediocre, but hey if anyone wants to say it was excellent that's they're choice. As well as to whether or not they buy III.
Can we all just agree that Peter Molyneux is an evil king of lies?

Black and White still makes me cry. If it would have done what was promised, I'd still be playing that game.

Peter Molyneux lives amongst faeries and magick and nutcases.
Peter Molyneux gets paid a lot of money to make up a bunch of bullshit, and everything he's attached to suffers for it.

Also mediocre doesn't mean awful.

Why would I pay money to a liar so he's able to lie more to more people?
