Leicester_Loyal Posted 28 October 2010 Share Posted 28 October 2010 Anyone got it today? My brother pre-ordered it from Shopto and I've just come home from work and settled down for a nice evening of gaming. Post your thoughts on the game here.

Legend_in_blue Posted 28 October 2010 Share Posted 28 October 2010 I'm still cutting up wood in Fable 2. I haven't picked it up for months either. Got about 3/4 through it. Having not played the original, I picked up a pre-owned copy of 2 and gave it a whirl. It was odd. It felt too simplistic as well. Almost like a kiddies game that doesn't require too much thought or tactical nouse. Which is the exact opposite of what I'd expect from a proper RPG. I might give it a go eventually, but New Vegas has me hooked. The reviews are averaging 81 on metacritic. Mmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 28 October 2010 Author Share Posted 28 October 2010 Its pretty good from what I've played (20 minutes). The camera angle is a bit weird and shaky, but your more up close to your player in this one. You also get decisions to make, and they reflect your character like in the last one, but in this one its things such as giving encouraging speeches or harsh speeches. Fable 2 is a beast of a game if you play it on co-op, other wise it can get pretty boring. Fable 3 has local co-op as well and the XBL or PSN online is much better than number 2. If I was you I'd probably finish Fallout 3 first though, if my brother didn't get it, I wouldn't have bought it, I'd still be playing F:NV and Fifa 11.

Legend_in_blue Posted 28 October 2010 Share Posted 28 October 2010 Yes, I may get this. But next month AC2B is out so it may have to wait until the new year. Hot Pursuit is out soon as well. It's disappointing to see Force Unleashed 2 totally bomb in the reviews. That's a rental at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 28 October 2010 Author Share Posted 28 October 2010 Don't forget the new CoD. Also Sims 3 is out tomorrow. Too many games, too little time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_the_fox Posted 28 October 2010 Share Posted 28 October 2010 Loved fable II, so may get this in the future when FM and FIFA get a bit boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potter3 Posted 28 October 2010 Share Posted 28 October 2010 Started playing Fable II yesterday, enjoying it so far, pretty much the only RPG I've ever played unless you count Pokemon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwell Pablo Posted 29 October 2010 Share Posted 29 October 2010 Yes, I may get this. But next month AC2B is out so it may have to wait until the new year. Hot Pursuit is out soon as well. It's disappointing to see Force Unleashed 2 totally bomb in the reviews. That's a rental at best. You can go off otherthings other than critic reviews you know mate, New Vegas has hardly done amazingly well and that doesn't seem to have put you off. Where as Rock Band 3's is getting 9+ and you aint even mentioned it. You could just by the games you enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFS Posted 29 October 2010 Share Posted 29 October 2010 Come on then release dayers, tell me thingsabout this game thatl make me want it even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 29 October 2010 Author Share Posted 29 October 2010 Only just came in from work, gonna have a little 2 hour session on it then I'll post again and tell you how good it is :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 30 October 2010 Author Share Posted 30 October 2010 After a 2 hour co-op session, I love this game! The co-op in this one is three times as good as the first, the camera is amazing and you can free roam without your partner as much as you want. Also going into business with a mate is something different, earlier it was me mostly buying the businesses with my money and my mate was getting half the rent On the whole a good game, I won't be playing Fallout until after I've finished Fable, which shows you how much I love this. Building up a property empire just before going bed in 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 30 October 2010 Share Posted 30 October 2010 I have Fable 2 but haven't played it for ages, great game though and the new one looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav_LCFC Posted 31 October 2010 Share Posted 31 October 2010 Is this any good still undecided to get it or not, i take it its alot like the second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 31 October 2010 Author Share Posted 31 October 2010 Is this any good still undecided to get it or not, i take it its alot like the second one. Great if you've got someone to play with in co-op. I've put 12 hours into it so far, almost finished the main storyline, after its done there isn't much to do, the side quests get a bit tedious after a while. I'd wait until it was under £25 before getting it personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildave3 Posted 31 October 2010 Share Posted 31 October 2010 Fable is gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 1 November 2010 Author Share Posted 1 November 2010 Fable is gay. I have just married my mate, who is a male and adopted two children. If that makes me gay, then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKB Posted 2 November 2010 Share Posted 2 November 2010 Really enjoying it so far! Not groundbreaking as was hyped up kinda more Fable 2 than a total step up..which isn't a bad thing imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackirius Posted 2 November 2010 Share Posted 2 November 2010 What is the story behind Fable? What do you do? Is it a good game? I've never played it before, mainly because Fable just sounds like a total Bumders game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox You Forest Posted 2 November 2010 Share Posted 2 November 2010 I completed the original over a weekend and I wasn't even hammering it, been put off ever since. Actually that's just reminded me I lent it out to a mate shortly after and never saw it again, no great loss though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 3 November 2010 Share Posted 3 November 2010 What is the story behind Fable? What do you do? Is it a good game? I've never played it before, mainly because Fable just sounds like a total Bumders game... The story isn't that interesting or original. In terms of what you do, you can chop wood. Hammer iron. It's real fun. If you class a good game as being an RPG for beginners then yes, I suppose it is. It doesn't offer any challenge imo. 2 doesn't anyway.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 13 November 2010 Author Share Posted 13 November 2010 Its sort of a small RPG, with more fun elements to it. You can build up a property empire and live off the rent, thats what I did. Co-op is the best thing about this game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKB Posted 21 November 2010 Share Posted 21 November 2010 Completed it, enjoyed it, could have been better, could have been worse! If you liked Fable 2 you will like this, it's more Fable 2 than a total step up and that is a good thing.. The game is piss easy though but so was Fable 1 and 2 but it has a good story behind it as all the Fable's have albeit it in 3 you are limited in decisions at times which is a let down but still a good game just not the total mind blowing game Lionhead were hyping it up to be.. It's kinda the causal gamers RPG/action adventure which is ok with me as i like that and hardcore RPG's/action adventures Still gets a 7.5 outta 10 for me and that could go up depending on Lionhead's efforts in DLC in the coming months ahead infact a new quest pack is available on Tuesday for 400msp which i'll no doubt get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
