Aztlan · 02-20-2008, 11:44 PM

I'm pretty excited about this. Haven't played a co-op online rpg in such a long time. Discuss!

The original Fable was such a pile of shit I think everyone should look at this game much closer before they get hyped and buy it.

Aztlan · 02-21-2008, 01:13 AM

I just recently played it earlier this year. I enjoyed it a lot. So dunno where this view's coming from. I didn't hear about it though until recently, so maybe I missed the hype train that it had when it first came out.

Yeah people shit on fable because it was way overhyped thanks to the developers. mmo level of promising features that don't actually make it at release.

Fable was a fun rental, and I'm sure Fable 2 will be as well.

The main complaint I heard was it's story had an incredibly slow pace at the beginning, which was fine, but then went into hyper-mode for the last 2 hours and then fin.

If Fable 2 is 50% longer than Fable I'll be happy. It was just way too damn short and shallow.

I haven't played through the Lost Chapters, but Fable 1 had a few glaring problems with it. Super simplistic gameplay, way overpowered spells (lol slow time =/) and it was ridiculously short.

Let's do this right: footage from a private fable 2 demo by Molyneux, in somewhat high-res.

I just hope Peter Molyneux doesn't forget to work on an interesting story, characters and gameplay beyond the whole sandbox RPG.

Exactly. There were a few problems, the main problem being the length, but other than that it was a good game. I think a lot of people are/were pissed about the ridiculous hype the game got before release. I tend to not pay any attention to hype, so luckily I was able to just appreciate it for what it was (not hate it for what it was promised to be), which was a pretty good, but really short RPG.

Wow beautiful game, I really loved the animation. As for Fable 1, although it may not have been perfect I still enjoyed it. Like Peter Molyneux's other games, such as Black and White and Populous, which also had their flaws, I admired his ambition in trying to do something innovative, and really rethink gameplay dynamics. I can forgive the small (or even large) flaws that have occured in those games and will likely occur in this one for the sake of a fresher take on gameplay.

QFT. I really enjoyed Fable. For someone that has played Lost Chapters, is it worth picking up or is there minimum new content?

Zerai · 02-21-2008, 08:05 AM

I enjoyed Fable. It was as other people said. Nothing groundbreaking but fun.

And I'll buy Fable 2 if it has coop. MUST SUPPORT COOP. Fuck companies that don't incorporate it.

Lost Chapters gives a fair amount of new content. Maybe... 2-3 more hours of gameplay from what I remember(blurry memory though, it was like a year ago). New weapons, new armor sets and a couple new big bosses. Plus I bought fable+lost chapters for like 2 bucks more than just Fable.

If you can find it cheap and had fun with Fable I'd buy it. I play that game like once every two months though so I'm kind of biased.

I'd so play a Fable MMO.
