Hey, for anyone interested Fable 2 is free right now.  http://slickdeals.net/?sdtid=2300565&sdfpid=40411&sdop=1&sdfid=9&u2=http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d5307f1/?p=1&of=6&bt=0&sb=1&did=00000001-0000-4000-8000-00004d5307f1

Sign into Xbox Live there and purchase it.  It's free. 

Note: If you don't login, it will say 20 bucks but it's free.

Gave it its own thread so people don't miss it.

For what its worth I don't really know if its the full version for free since I didn't download it. Funny enough I traded in the actual game yesterday.

Just click download and you have the license forever.

And it's definitely the full game, it's 6.6 GB

Got it just 'cause. Not interested at all, but me and my friend have been looking for a co-op game to fuck around in and now the long search is over.

which version of 360's do you guys have??  I've probably only used a few gigs.  Then again, I never install anything.  Maybe I should start.  I do have the 250 gb model.

I went to download it myself and then realized it really isn't the sort of game I'm ever going to play twice.

You should always install your games if you have the room outside of Halo 3. Its faster.

I forgot there was even a 250 gb model. I have the 20 GB model. I've never installed a game.

I'm just too lazy to install.  Is it really that much quicker?  I never cared because I still had to put the disc in.

Yes.

Its definitely noticably quicker to me. And while its probably less of an issue if you have the newer machines, the old ones are fucking loud as hell and the install reduces that a lot.

I still play Fable 2 a lot (one of my favorite series) and man it makes my 360 sound like a fucking jet.  And I just got my 360 in May or June.  I guess I'll install some commonly played games.

Mupes I dont see any concrete proof in that thread. Just "OMG YEAH ITS THE FULL GAME"
Title: Re: Fable 2 free
Post by: Mupepe on October 15, 2010, 04:27:48 PM
well in your purchase history it should specifically say "Fable 2 - Full Game"

Some people have finished it and said it works...

Confirmed! Works perfectly with my old save file, which is definitely outside the bounds of episode 1. Woohoo free game, thanks!!!

I guess I'll try it since I beat the game so w/e. Wish I was the Plat version so it came with DLC. afaik the GOD one isnt Plat.

I read that people who went to their DL history and checked the Episode say its the full game now. And some MS people are re-posting it on twitter. So... safe to assume it is free full.

Loaded up my ULTIMATE 100% saveand it worked just fine. Does anyone own the DLC so I can leech some achievements off you?  :D

I already played as much Fable 2 as I ever wanted to, but I'll download it for free.

Edit: Nevermind. They took it down already.
Title: Re: Fable 2 free

It said Free when I tried, but refused to download

People said that you'll get that error for the outdated version of Live if you're trying in certain browsers.  They said going to IE9 fixed it.  But yeah, it's confirmed dead now.

Can confirm that installing speeds up certain games.  Halo Reach especially benefits from it, at least off-line.

Played the first hour. This is game is so bad I wish MS paid me $20 to even experience that.

He gets fat when you eat food... game is pretty clear on that.

I don't like how magically fat my dude gets for no reason.
It's because you ate something. Eat like celery or take certain potions and you get skinnier.

You get "beefy" when you enhance strength.

Nah, he's not like a big tubby fat guy, just like a big fatish muscular dude. I am a strong believer in athletically thin asskickers.

Yeah the body proportions are really weird along with the faces. I played as a woman and by the end she looked like a east german shot-putter both in her build and her face.

Supposedly they are addressing that for 3.

Use guns instead of swords. Swords suck anyway.
