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

    That's why you don't listen to a damn thing he says, and just play the games.

    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.

    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

    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"

    I don't think so, considering other games receive just as much hyping and don't disappoint people to the extent that this game did.

    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.

    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?

    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?
