So you better pre-order this shit. They're going to charge $10 for those who don't.
-
No thanks. Ripoff total
-
Charging $10 for this? I agree
-
So basically, if you don't preorder, you can use $10 of your real American money to play virtual slots to possibly win money that can used in Fable 2?
Did my head just turn into a sucker?
-
What are pub games?
-
at least they're not asking ten extra dollars for this shit in a collector's edition, right?
-
What are pub games?
You use them to earn money for your Fable 2 character before the game is already released
There's 3 of them - a roulette game, a slot machine, and a black jack game of sorts
-
sounds exciting
-
Pre-order from anywhere?
-
I'd assume so
-
They only just announced this, I'd imagine it has to circulate to participating retailers, the pub games arent due for release until next month
My concern is if they will appear on your Gamercard, or even carry Achievements - I mean they are making you pay for the stuff
-
I made a ton of money on that pub game in Fable.
If I don't cough up for this, how will I make my millions in Fable 2? :(
-
The games are still in Fable 2, but if you pre-order, you get the pub games before its out and make your big bank
-
Oh I see, thanks.
Taking a break from the main quest to make big bucks on minigames can be a good change of pace, so it would kind of suck to have played them to death prior to release.
Plus, it's a rip-off.
-
I don't see how it's a ripoff. You pre-order, you get the pub games. You don't pre-order, you either pay $10 (which -is- a rip off), or you wait until the game is released.
-
That was a bit confusing, but now I've got it. What a weird way of doing things.
-
Achievements CONFIRMED

free stuff is always good.
:bow xbla :bow2
-
I got my code
They didnt even check me for ID or name... if you guys try you might be able to get one for free. I'm gonna try to get another one when I go get Too Human in a couple weeks.
-
I guess later today I will go down to Gamestop and pick it up. Do they give out that Fallout 3 soundtrack yet?
-
Picked up the pub games, probably will download later. Also got a SOCOM beta code and Fallout 3 bonus.

Are the pub games actually even up yet?

Coms out this wednesday with Bio Cumando
-
Lame.
I guess I can enjoy playing this for a day until Bionic Commando comes out.
-
You just walk in and pre-order it for the code?
Might do that tomorrow...
-
Oh shit they have the cards already?
Hope it's not too late to preorder, I'm gonna go tomorrow. I'll do SR2 too.
-

I pre-ordered it earlier, then came in today and just asked for "the fable 2 pre-order code" and he just handed me one
So be sure to ask for a code
-
The pub games suck. I wasted 50 minutes playing it and got a pie and something else. Other than the first game, the game sucked big time.
-
I know... damn free things sucking
-
Moron
-
Damn this game is brutal... I keep losing chips like water
-
I know... damn free things sucking
Pub games aren't free unless you pre-ordered. So some people will actually pay 800 points for this game and expect something good.
I'm glad I got it for free, and I will continue to play until I unlock all the Fable 2 weapons, but sometimes even free isn't a good value when the game sucks. Just play the roulette tournament; all you do is press 'A' 100 times and hope to win.
The first game is actually pretty good when you realize that you will never win big in it, and that you should take what you get. It is also good for pissing you off when you cashed out too early and saw that there was a jackpot going down.
-
There must be a trick to it, cause Spinnerbox is just broken
-
At one point I thought there was a pattern that if you tap A in this order: ___ _ _ after the initial rolling press, it would get at least one double match every time. Later on I found out that that didn't mean shit or they switched it up between numbers 40 and 70. The only reason I won that tournament was because I got lucky and got triple score or something.
-
Damn I'm 21'ing fools at Keystone
Cant hang with a baller
-
Played a couple games of the spinerbox thing. Made 350 gold. Quickly cashed out. :D
-
Fortune's Tower - enjoyable enough
Keystone - meh, it's okay
Spinnerblox - .... that's it?
At least it was free.
-
This is too much like a real casino. It'd take dozens of hours to get anything out of it. Oh wel
-
spinnerbox is bullshit. tournament = press a 100+ times :lol
Fortune Tower is good at getting you to risk too much
keystone is ok.
glad this was free, didnt even have to pre order lol
-
There's a glitch to Fortune's Tower
Bet the minimum amount... but before the first set of cards hit the table - tap LB
This sets your bet to the MAX - but you still only bet the minimum
This means whatever you win will be as if you had bet the max amount
-

-
:tophat nice demi.
Works. Makes this game not so fetid. Be sure to reduce your bet to the minimum after each hand.
-
This works on Tournaments too... so you can win some unique items at least
-
awesome. i got some item last night in a tournament though because i am awesome
-
I've won the first 2 Fortune's Tower, the Free Keystone tournaments...
Spinnerbox is just dumb luck, period. So annoying.
-
What's the verdict, is it actually worth a preorder?
-
It wasnt until I found this glitch... lol
-
:bow demi :bow2
-
woot, i won the free spinnerbox tourny
-
this glitch is fucking amazing
thanks demi
-
Good way to raise your rank is to spam Spinnerbox... I'm doing a 100 max table and I'm already up to Level 4
-
Nice tip. I'll try it out.
-
Gambling is fun when you win.
-
Cows and Corsets 25 - 250 is the best to rack up money in Spinnerbox... just keep betting 250. You'll lose some chips but you'll start hitting the triple triangles and then it starts raking in
-
I just won the level 4 card tournament, but I don't think I am willing to play to lvl 5 and the final tournament tonight.
I still haven't figured out how I am going to get through the tournaments for the other two games. I attempted the slots one, but I got 19th place. I don't understand it at all.
-
Haha, I won the first 4 spinnerbox tournies... its all luck, theres no question. Keystone is so boring... going to dread that

Just keep retrying slots. You'll eventually win.
It's fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.
-
I'll do it back when I get level 5, and probably that will be tomorrow. I only play when there is a podcast I can listen to.
I really wish my TV had PiP at times like this.

That gun's mine, debt-free. Suck it Peter M. Longfellow.
-
Keystone quick win:
Just max bet arch bets on 3 & 18
Then max bet on the entire bottom row (3, all the trips, 18)
Roll away - press RB to put your last set chips down
If you hit one of your bets, you'll easily rack up 21k+
-
I did something like that to win the first keystone tournament, I'll try it for the others. Doesn't stop it from being incredibly boring.
-
True, but you can press A and it speeds everything up
-
Got all the unique items... just need to win a Jackpot at Keystone and unlock all the games
-
damn i just tried to get the jackpot for like an hour... zilch
to get a keystone jackpot, you have to roll a 3 or 18 on the first roll... gay
-
this game is more fun now i know how to cheat
spinnerbox is still annoying and keystone is fucked
-
just made 100k on Keystone trying to get the Jackpot (betting bottom row)
-
Typed up an achievement guide...

-
YES I got Keystone Jackpot... 200/200 baby
Now to rack up some fat cheese... I'm thinking 1 million is nice
-
I'm doing this slots game tournament, and I'm wondering if there is any trick to getting lucky and winning. Should I be stopping it by pressing A again, or do I just let it go?
-
Just mash A
-
i've got 230k bankroll... i think that should be a nice start to Fable 2
-
I have just over 100k, plus the 4 card tournaments done. I just unlocked the highest paying card game, so I'm gonna work on getting lvl 5.
I did another slot tournament twice and gave up on doing that shit until I get a turbo controller or something.
-
Got the sword, gun, and ring. I think I'm done with this game, but I might stretch and go for the potions.
-
Apparently there's a 1 million gold castle to buy in the game, so I guess I'll be saving up at least that much.
-
LOL... damn... but theres no achievement for it I think so fuck it
-
i got up to 8k in 30mins last night only being on level 3. shoudl get some fat cash one i get level 5

is that really a 360 screenshot? looks almost like the first game :\
-
Yeah, it is from the IGN E3 stage demo of it. It is the near final build I think. It looks good at times, but at other points it looks pretty bad.
-
Fable 2 never looked hot or played hot from the GDC demo... or anything
But I still want it
-
got to 5 stars thanks to the 50-500 spinnerbox.
now im 30k in debt :(
-
haw haw
-
spinnerbox is gay. ive barely touched keystone
-
