I was surprised that the graphics weren't "sharper", but it looks great and I love the FEEL. I can't wait until it gets chilly outside and I can grab a blanket and just sit down with this game.

i notcied the video seemed a little too bright.

Just some last-genny jaggies and yuck-o textures. But then some of it looked beautiful and it seemed kind of incongruous. The hero and the dog looked weird, no?

That vid pretty much sealed Too Human's fate for me. I'm skipping it so I can finish up a couple other games and replay Fable. I have the Lost Chapters version, so there's a few new things I'll be able to see.

Anyone know if F2 is still going to be completely open like Oblivion? Having to stay on the trails was a big disappointment in F1.

That's the one thing that I'm still unsure about. I was never bothered by the "broken promises" in Fable; if anything, I thought the straightforwardness of the RPG system worked well and kept the focus on the immediate gameplay, which I prefer. This time around, it sounds like they are really pushing those abandoned features, and I'm hoping they have also had time and resources to work on the story. Not that the story in Fable was bad, there just wasn't enough of it.

Not quite; it is still like Fable 1 where there are long load times between sections, but this time the sections of land are much larger than before.

Fable 2 looks amazing, but my only problem with it is that it is coming out the same day as LittleBigPlanet and Dead Space, and I fault those two for coming out on that day also. I don't have time to play all this quality at once.

Apparently there are 0 cut scenes in Fable 2, and since the main character doesn't speak, i'm gonna guess that the story will be even worse this time around.

Looks like you get extra stuff with the Limited Edition disc:

I wonder if its on the disk or it gives you a code to download them.

there wasn't much of anything i liked in fable 1. fable 2 looks like it has made a lot of changes... but some of them i wouldn't necessarily call improvements (such as the combat) based on what i've seen.

Fable was a pretty cool game as long as you didn't get wrapped up in the hype--people should have known better after the clusterfuck that was Black and White. For the same reason I didn't read hype on Fable, I've skipped most of it (sans actual media) for the sequel. I'm fairly sure I will dig the game.

cool breeze · « **Reply #37 on:** August 14, 2008, 04:21:08 PM »

Yeah, I didn't follow the Fable 1 hype much, and I wasn't let down in anyway; Fable matched, or even exceeded, what I thought it was going to be. And I do hope that Fable 2 brings back the fight club.

Mupepe · « **Reply #38 on:** August 14, 2008, 04:22:32 PM »

Yes. The fight club rocked. I also loved getting women drunk and hitting on them. It was so awesome the first time I played it.

Oh yeah, Fable definitely came up short as far as its promises went, but mechanically it was very solid, not to mention looked and sounded nice... that's enough to make it the best RPG style game on the Xbox.

cool breeze · « **Reply #42 on:** August 14, 2008, 04:42:28 PM »

The one thing about Fable 2 that I am worried about is the combat. I enjoyed the combat in Fable 1, but now they are doing this whole 'one button combat' thing with Fable 2. I just hope the combat isn't too simple and boring.

And I just remembered when people were hyping up Sudeki for the Xbox. Oh, how times have changed for RPG on the Xbox platform.

Dunno about hate, but I believe there was a lot of disappointment (with it being too short I guess), which wasn't really helped with Peter Molyneux's pie in the sky promises.

siamesedreamer · « **Reply #44 on:** August 14, 2008, 08:44:04 PM »

Ugh...don't remind me. I actually played through Sudeki.

Fable 1 had a lot of backlash because of the promises that weren't delivered. I didn't really care too much because it did enough other things well it was easy to overlook what wasn't in there.

Also, I'm convinced the people who complained that it was too short rushed through it just so they could say it was too short and complain about Molyneax's failure to deliver. I personally spent about 35 hours in the game.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:25:11 PM »

Well, you didn't need to rush through it for it to seem short. I had everything I wanted at basically max level, did everything the game would let me except the stuff like getting married and such, and finished it in probably less than 10 hours. That's sort of short for an RPG, but I wouldn't have minded that if it wasn't so obvious that so many scenarios had been cut from the game. It's one thing to deliver a short game that was designed to be a short game, but it's typically very easy to tell when something has been cut due to, presumably, publisher pressure to get the game out.

demi · « **Reply #46 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:28:41 PM »

I stretched Fable out as much as possible because I loved it and I think I clocked in around 26-27 hours. Wish it would have been longer, but now Fable 2 looks to rectify that.

I played Sudeki a couple of years after it came out and adored it. Such a shame it was short.

Once I ignored internet backlash against Fable and Sudeki, it turned out both games were great when taken for what they are rather than what they aren't.

From what I understand, this is a true open ended RPG, like the Elders Scrolls games. What I was most disappointed with in Fable 1 was the closed off aspect of it, and if this has truly been fixed, then I can see this being the best game of the holiday season.
