So you better pre-order this shit. They're going to charge $10 for those who don't.

Grecco · « **Reply #1 on:** July 08, 2008, 12:51:08 PM »

No thanks. Ripoff total

demi · « **Reply #2 on:** July 08, 2008, 12:53:37 PM »

Charging $10 for this? I agree

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #3 on:** July 09, 2008, 12:57:54 AM »

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?

Positive Touch · « **Reply #5 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:31:11 AM »

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

Positive Touch · « **Reply #7 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:36:42 AM »

sounds exciting

VALIS · « **Reply #8 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:40:14 AM »

Pre-order from anywhere?

demi · « **Reply #9 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:41:07 AM »

I'd assume so

demi · « **Reply #10 on:** July 09, 2008, 01:48:11 AM »

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

Bildi · « **Reply #11 on:** July 09, 2008, 02:29:18 AM »

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?

demi · « **Reply #12 on:** July 09, 2008, 02:30:07 AM »

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

Bildi · « **Reply #13 on:** July 09, 2008, 02:37:20 AM »

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.

demi · « **Reply #14 on:** July 09, 2008, 02:38:42 AM »

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.

Bildi · « **Reply #15 on:** July 09, 2008, 02:50:03 AM »

That was a bit confusing, but now I've got it. What a weird way of doing things.

demi · « **Reply #16 on:** July 27, 2008, 04:10:42 PM »

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.

cool breeze · « **Reply #19 on:** August 08, 2008, 03:05:28 PM »

I guess later today I will go down to Gamestop and pick it up. Do they give out that Fallout 3 soundtrack yet?

cool breeze · « **Reply #20 on:** August 08, 2008, 08:54:53 PM »

Picked up the pub games, probably will download later. Also got a SOCOM beta code and Fallout 3 bonus.

Lame.

I guess I can enjoy playing this for a day until Bionic Commando comes out.

siamesedreamer · « **Reply #25 on:** August 09, 2008, 12:08:58 AM »

You just walk in and pre-order it for the code?

Might do that tomorrow...

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #26 on:** August 09, 2008, 12:39:17 AM »

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

cool breeze · « **Reply #28 on:** August 13, 2008, 01:23:33 PM »

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.

demi · « **Reply #29 on:** August 13, 2008, 01:29:58 PM »

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.

demi · « **Reply #33 on:** August 13, 2008, 02:01:08 PM »

There must be a trick to it, cause Spinnerbox is just broken

cool breeze · « **Reply #34 on:** August 13, 2008, 02:04:26 PM »

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.

demi · « **Reply #35 on:** August 13, 2008, 02:38:10 PM »

Damn I'm 21'ing fools at Keystone

Cant hang with a baller

Grecco · « **Reply #36 on:** August 13, 2008, 05:53:20 PM »

Played a couple games of the spinerbox thing. Made 350 gold. Quickly cashed out.

Costanza · « **Reply #37 on:** August 13, 2008, 05:54:50 PM »

Fortune's Tower - enjoyable enough
Keystone - meh, it's okay
Spinnerblox - .... that's it?

At least it was free.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #38 on:** August 13, 2008, 06:14:46 PM »

This is too much like a real casino. It'd take dozens of hours to get anything out of it. Oh wel

pilonv1 · « **Reply #39 on:** August 14, 2008, 08:21:01 AM »

spinnerbox is bullshit. tournament = press a 100+ times

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

demi · « **Reply #40 on:** August 14, 2008, 07:42:07 PM »

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

Snuflupagulus · « **Reply #43 on:** August 14, 2008, 08:37:37 PM »

nice demi.

Works. Makes this game not so fetid. Be sure to reduce your bet to the minimum after each hand.

demi · « **Reply #44 on:** August 14, 2008, 09:55:08 PM »

This works on Tournaments too... so you can win some unique items at least

pilonv1 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 14, 2008, 09:56:50 PM »

awesome. i got some item last night in a tournament though because i am awesome

demi · « **Reply #46 on:** August 14, 2008, 09:57:44 PM »

I've won the first 2 Fortune's Tower, the Free Keystone tournaments...

Spinnerbox is just dumb luck, period. So annoying.

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

cool breeze · « **Reply #53 on:** August 14, 2008, 11:25:06 PM »

Nice tip. I'll try it out.

Gambling is fun when you win.

demi · « **Reply #55 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:47:06 AM »

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

cool breeze · « **Reply #56 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:58:58 AM »

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.

demi · « **Reply #57 on:** August 15, 2008, 01:03:57 AM »

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.

cool breeze · « **Reply #59 on:** August 15, 2008, 01:18:46 AM »

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.
