    Fable 2 'I Gots It' Thread.

    Well I just ordered it, so time for a gameplay thread. As its an RPG there will be many 'where is the sword of monkey death' and 'how do I open the secret door next to the mountains of spling' stuff, so we can do it here.

    Just watched the IGN video review, btw, and if you ignore all the side quest stuff, and just go through the game, you can finish it in...


    ...



    ...


    8 hours.

    Also, it apparently falls short of Mass Effect as an RPG, which is the single most boring game I've ever not-really-played. Double

    Still I've always prefer Elves 'n swords over spaceships and guns, so hopefully its worth it.

    Anyway, threads here for the Fable'ers to get together.

    Video review here btw - http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/dor/object...=1qa0mqsl8d2iq

    Re: Fable 2 'I Gots It' Thread.

    The opinion I've developed after reading and watching reviews over the past few days is that dispite a short story line most people will stray from the main quest anyway, consciencely or subconsciencely.

    Shall find out this weekend how true or false this statement is.

    Re: Fable 2 'I Gots It' Thread.

    Yeah true, but it kind of hammers home how short the main game is.

    Try getting from the raid on the Shinra mako station thing to fighting Sepiroth in the crater in 8 hours.

    I, personally, will be exploring every nook, and almost every cranny, though.

    Re: Fable 2 'I Gots It' Thread.

    Yeah but GTA4 you can do very quickly too right? Only doing the main missions that is.

    Sub missions extend the play a lot

    As said in another thread, it's sitting on a guys desk at work....and his 360 is RROD

    if you are evil i would imagine you could easily lose that amount of time murdering townsfolk and fighting off the guards. not to mention getting your co-op buddy to murder any spouses that no longer have any uses.

    Oh without a doubt. Even with the orignal I only ended up completing the main story line because I'd bought every house, slept with every bachelorette and killed every shopkeeper.

    Mass Effect was far from boring, infact it's the best game i've played in the past two years.
    "The less you eat, drink and buy books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorise, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save – the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour – your capital. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being." Karl Marx

    Nah, its boring. IMO anyway.

    I've just seen it too many times. Its one of those games I feel like I've played without playing it.

    I freely admit I didn't give it anything like a fair chance though.

    Re: Fable 2 'I Gots It' Thread.

    was wondering if anyone was gonna start a fable 2 thread on here (been getting my fix on the lionhead forums)

    am not worried about the shortness of main quests as plenty to do on the side like get married have kids, involve yourself in an orgy (5gamerscore for that one)

    anyone getting it go to fable2.com and do the show on there to the end and you get a prize for in game. i got three different ones the chicken suit being my favourite item.

    along with the 15 items from pub games and a little cash i am well set.

    I'm not bothered about story etc, want to get in an in-game orgy ASAP (as my gf won't be happy if I do when she is here this weekend )

    I thought the collector's edition had been pulled because it wasn't available to order anywhere, but now I see it most places for the same price as the normal edition

    *reorders*
