Four years, and the most they can add is two hours of gameplay. Molyneux disappoints once again.

Fable 2 won Gamespot's E3 Game of the Show

http://www.gamespot.com/special_feature ... index.html

E3 has always been home to plenty of exciting new games, so choosing a single game for the best of show is never easy. It wasn't this year, either. And although you may find our choice to be, how can we put this...shocking? Fable II gets our award.

Remember, our E3 awards are based on which games made the most impressive showing at the actual event--they're not necessarily a review or judgment call on how the entire game will finally end up. Prior to E3, our experiences with Fable were limited and focused on the game's seemingly simple combat system, but after seeing the game with designer Peter Molyneux and getting our own hands on it, we found that the game has more to offer. Much more. Much, much more. If what we've seen is any indication, Fable II will clearly offer many more open-ended choices with actual consequences that will change the way your character looks, acts, and is looked at by the world around you. You'll have new social options, a wandering minstrel who records your adventures (and misadventures), a host of side missions and dialogue options (which will have to be your primary source of income because quests in and of themselves won't provide any money), property you can rent out, and a dog. Most impressive of all, there will be two-player cooperative play that can seemingly be accessed by easily picking up a second controller and diving into the game.



Seems promising, oh and I loved the first one.

Well, whoopee cushions, E3 was absolute shite this year, so that's saying nothing at all. Still looks freaking good, regardless. I got too bored to complete the first one, hopefully the second one will keep my interest levels up.

How could you possibly get bored of the first one :shock: ?

I do have to say that the first Fable was one of the most unique and deep RPGs I have ever played. I feel sorry for all the people who read too much into it and got really hyped of what the game was "susposed" to be, but even so you cant deny that for what it is, the first Fable was a step in the right direction if nothing else, and there isnt another RPG quite like it.

Fable 2 I cant wait to play... still need a 360 though, but after playing the first one there is no way I would miss it.

Almost everything that comes in the collectors edition of Fable 2 I have little to no interest in whatsoever - and I'm probably going to buy it over the standard version anyway, because Melissa and I love Fable, and because I'm a whore for useless trinkets and knick-knacks. :P

The additional content sounds really cool, though. Here's hoping it's better than what Bethesda did with their additional content for Oblivion.

I keep hearing people say how "unique" and "groundbreaking" the first game was. What made it so? There were other RPGs doing what it did and better long before the first Fable.

I don't think it's unique or groundbreaking, it was just a lot of fun, and one of my favorite games for the box.

I will agree, it's a pretty decent game. I had fun with it, couldn't be arsed finishing it though. It just didn't really do anything new or special like everyone seems to believe.

The collectors edition would deffiently be pre-orderd if it was not for that Hobbe. It looks terrible, plain white and looks like a McDonalds toy you get in the kiddy meals.

Pub games are out...sadly no deal has been made in the UK about the free codes for pre ordering the SE! Game and MS are currently in talks about it. But then it seems silly to release it now anyways with the full game not out till late october :? People could have millions before they even get the game which will surely ruin the fun? Unless youhave to actually transfer the money yourself rather than the game doing it as soon as you start playing?

I've seen people playing them but i kinda refuse to pay 800 Microsoft points for something that's gonna be in Fable 2 anyway. They should include an extra mini game that's not going to be in the final release or make it rock bottom, like 200 Microsoft points.
