fable 2

trig740

fable 2 is out this friday, so who is going to buy it? what do you think is going to be one of the best parts about it?

humanji

I'm really looking forward to it. I'm hoping the co-op gameplay is as good as they claim. To be honest, I've not read a lot about the game, so there's no chance of me being disappointed with it.

the Co-op sounds great so i hope they dont mess it up. i havent read a lot on it as well but what i have heard about sounds really good.

dazftw

Actually get to play this tonight.. thanks to my.. connections :rolleyes:

I've been watching it the last few weeks and am tempted to buy it! So ill have a go tonight and if I like it ill buy it. If not I guess I wont.. I'm all for the co-op as well but that wont be shipped with the actual game.. We have to wait longer for that.

Ill let you know what its all like or do you want to wait?

The co-op isn't going to be on the disc now, it's gonna be dlc after a while for some reason (teething trouble?)

Mr Freeze

Getting it too, have it pre-ordered from Play, probably wont be here for friday...

Looking forward to the co-op too...and the guns...and destroying a whole town for that evil achievement...

May get this depending on reviews. I'm wary that the combat with not be engaging enough. It sounds a little shallow from what I've read.

Prove me wrong kids, prove me wrong.

Well it did just get full marks from Eurogamer and that's (usually) a good sign.

should be able to get a go of it tomorrow. it better not be another game that was said to do this, that and the other but ends up not doing a thing

I've never played Fable before so I don't know what to expect but from what i've seen, it looks good. The Co-Op is one of the reasons i'm buying it so hoping it's good.

the idea of being able to drop into you friends game and kill his family and his friend and just drop out again sounds like so much fun

the only bad thing is the online co op will not be shipped with the game, it will have to be downloaded later on

This won't be on the disc, but will be available as a Title Update on the day of release - so basically if you're connecting to live on release day, it will patch itself to add the online co-op.

definie "anything"?

you can only do waht the game allows you to at the end of the day, so you can do anything within the actual rules, but you cant do whatever you want, no, thatd be pretty much impossible

trig740

ok....can you have a family? can you kill people that are important to the story? can you go around knockin up ever female in the game? that type of "anything"

you can have the family yes
not sure about killing important characters, you cant kill any of the non playable characters i tried to kill anyway
i assume you can go around sewing your wild seeds too, its easy to make the women want a bit of love, but ive not actually bothered figuring out the marriage/affair angle of it so far

you can also buy property and rent it out to make money
completely ignore the quests and go exploring
take jobs to make money

and lots more

Had absolutely no interest in getting this until this evening. Had the first one and thought it was good but I was never really too bothered about getting this because there are so many great games coming out and I just don't have the time to play that much anymore. I hadn't read anything about it at all until I read the review on Eurogamer and it sounds brilliant.

What a week. Far Cry 2, Dead Space, Fable 2. I haven't even got to play Fifa or Saints Row 2 yet.

Think I'll have to trade in my Wii! I knew it had a use!:p

in fairness, you should have been checking the October release schedule before your release back in February....
