    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 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.

    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

    The Dog was obviously the best choice.

    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

    Yeah why was there no armour?

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

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

    though I'm not really sure why

    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

    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.

    Tap A and B consecutively to pack boxes at the meat packing plant?

    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.

    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 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.
