I am so psyched about this game. It looks completely awesome. Not sure when I'm getting it but I can't wait!!
-
My best friend was at the midnight release of the game. He says its outstandingly awesome. I can't wait to pick it up.

It came out! of course it did, how silly of me. Ive been so caught up with college...Gotta go!

If I had money I would so spend it to purchase this game and Fallout3. Everyone who has it post your impressions on the forum! I wanna know! (No story spoilers though, I love Molyneux's stories.)
-
From what I have heard the main story is really fairly poor for an RPG-type game. Its the side stories and characters you meet that really makes the game shine.
-
Gah! Too many games to play right now!
The first one was really fantastic and I have been waiting so patiently for the sequel. I really hope Molyneux continues to do what he does best and give us a great great game.

So I just got this on Saturday, I don't plan on doing a review so I'll just give a quick rundown.
Basically, this is somewhat of a mix of games. It's not wholly an RPG-you don't even level up, persay. You can buy different abilities with experience points, so you could level up your Toughness, which uses melee experience, but your character's "level" stays the same. There are four basic types of experience; Will, Skill, and Strength, as well as a General type of XP that can be used for any of the three.
Combat is NOT turn-based.
It has First Person Shooter qualities; if you level up your skill (ranged attacks) you can even target specific body parts. Please don't misunderstand me though there are very few FPS qualities in this game :P
Right now it is a lot of fun, although I'm not sure quite what I was expecting. Your character changes to reflect your actions, and the world changes to reflect your choices. You can buy nearly every piece of real-estate in the game; you can take on jobs like blacksmithing or whatnot. I'm still deciding if its going to be a classic game I'll love and remember or not.

I've started fable 2--so far its not disappointing but im not far enough to tell...
-
Sorry for not getting back to this thread. The game is pretty awesome so far. Im not to far and I dont want any *Spoilers* so I wont get into detail. There is so much you can do in this game I think I might be playing it for years and still not be done. And im not joking. Everynight ive gone home from work and played until I went to sleep and then played from when I woke up till I had to go to work. It is as addicting as the first. I have a little issue with the way you use your magic. I think the original way was better but other than that I cant complain.
If you liked Fable then go get this game because it is everything you have been waiting for in a non turnbased RPG fantasy game.
-
Anyone who decides to go out and buy Fable 2--i would recommend you to pick up fallout 3 as well. ;D
-
Blast....my game budget for this month has already been blown. Those are BOTH games that I want.
Time to whine and beg the wife for more cash :D
-
Good luck with that Ghost. I hope you ge the cash needed to support your addiction.

Brave, brave soul...
You know, what you could do is buy her something without telling her--surprise her--then take her out for dinner. Afterwards tell her she makes you feel young and that you want to walk with her in the mall. Where you will lead her to Gamestop (or any other place) and when you see the Fallout 3 or Fable add that is surely to be up there, first act surprised but mainly be awed, overjoyed, like you fell in love all over again...
Thats a pretty elaborate lie, and i dont do that to my wife--i'm eighteen. i dont even have a girlfriend...perhaps it has something to do with my uncanny ability to fib...hmm?

i thought fable 2 was a good game overall. story line was quite short for my taste but still good. today however im trading it in for a sports game. lol. to me sports games have a lot more re-playability that others.
-
I must be the only person who doesn't like sports games (with very few exceptions, like Mario Kart, etc games like that).
At this point I'm torn between buying Fable 2 or Fallout 3. ???
-
I don't have Fable 2, but Fallout 3 feels like the Game of the Year right now. Just an amazing experience for me thus far, and I'm not even halfway through the game (I think...?)
So, if you're going to spend money, and have to get one game... I think the game should be Fallout 3. Especially if you're into post-apocalyptic stories and RPG-FPS. I've already put twenty hours into it, and like I said, only about halfway through.
Granted, I take my sweet time getting from place to place; I like exploring.
Fable 2 will have to wait for my attention. :(
-
And now comes the day when I must purchase a 360. ha ha.
-
I have yet to finish the story line in Fable II. I have spent alot of time on the side missions and building my character and properties. For me it may not be the best game ever but I have enjoyed every second of it. I do not look forward to finishing the game but I did play Fable I far after I finished the story line and the expansion story line.
-
Ok folks, big question here! Should I wait until Fable II comes out for the PC (Lionshead obviously do some touchup work on the PC version) or should I run out now and get it for the 360. Also, I heard that they might not make it for the PC but other sources say that Lionshead will be making it for the PC. Is it another 360 exclusive or is that just a gimmick to get more sales? Any external links can and will help! I've looked into but I haven't found anything definitive.
Thanks,

Alright, well I for one do not know if it will ever be available for PC. I do however know that the game is fun and engaging and worth a buy. My only issue with it is the main story line is kinda short and with all the side quests the main quests seem kinda short. Also the game is too easy. I mean If I can beat it in a couple of days, max my characters abilities and such then where is the fun?
-
Haha, I guess the fun comes from playing it over and over. Sometimes you can be a good guy, other times you can be bad. Sometimes you can get married, and other times you can be a widowmaker. I think I'll purchase it once I save the money up for it. Then if it does come out for the PC I'll just talk one of my friends into buying it and then jack it off them :D
-
That is a great plan. I for one am a fan of jacking games off of friends. I often put off buying a game only to end up just borrowing it from a friend later on.
-
I realize this thread was all but dead but I figured since I finally got around to playing Fable II I would chime in. At the start I found this game really slow, not a ton of involvement in with the main story since I had heard that like its predecessor if you just did the main quest you could finish it mighty quickly. I found that pretty frustrating right off the hop, but once I embraced the idea of just running constant sidequests and trying to keep my wife (wives) happy it became a whole different experience. All in all I have had a great time with it, even if the main story really isn't the point of playing the game.
Has anyone picked up the Knothole Island expansion, and if so what did you think of it? It is only about $8 so if it is fun I might grab it.
-
the game is a pretty good game but i haven't beat it yet I'm hopeing to. i think ill make one char. Evil and one good
