Fable 2 let down?

[Walker]

Re: Fable 2 let down?

for starters... ALL magic is too good... and there all the same... force push... doesn't push... wtf... that makes sense... lighting, fire, and force push... are all damage spells...

the summoning spell isn't strong enough... the things you summon don't do nearly enough damage...

and you have unlimited ammount of mana... wtf... to win the game all you have to do is sit there and keep on hitting B!

First one: Force push doesn't push? Since when? I love it. I stand there, I blast them back, and then I shoot them. Higher levels they go flying ten, twenty feet. It damages them too, yes, but it always did. I mean, what did you expect? You just hit them with what's basically a concussive blast. Of course it hurts them.

Second one-- Fight Balverines: raise dead. Watch as balverines tear each other to pieces. I haven't tried it around much else, but it's probably cool elsewhere too.

Unlimited mana: Not really that cheap. Yes, the combat is easy. It's also very fun. And hitting B over and over... only helps you on really low-level baddies. You need to charge it up and mix it around and dodge and shoot and all if you really want to do well higher. Mostly because if you don't you'll probably end up dead (okay, fine, unconscious) as you stand there charging up your spell. Well, aside from health potions.

i would complain about magic being overpowered at the begining of the game, but near the end having a decent gun is 10 times more effective than using magic, not to mention you can always roll out the way between shots unlike spells..... so its kinda balanced, but either way i find the most enjoyable experiance can be gotten from using melee ranged and magic for when they best work.

nearly all the magic is offensive and just does damage, blades instead of having blades floating around attacking people like in the first fable, its just a damage spell, force push doesnt push just does damage, vortex kinda works well and basically does what force push doesnt but its still just a damaging move, confusion is funny and can be used defensivly but theres still a chance they will attack you anyway. those being said, time slow is awesome, and the fact you can use it like assassins rush gives melee better survivability... although the area cast only lasts a few seconds. no physical shield, no will bar, no heal life, no beserk, it takes away some of the indivduality fables magic system had over other games in favor of damage, damage and when in doubt more damage.

I like guns, and I like magic. And I like my big huge ax. But yes, some work better is some situations, some in others. In some situations, it's best to combine them. For instance, at close quarters you can use melee-- but you can also combine ranged and magic to equal effect.

I haven't used Blades much, but I've watched my sister, who loves the damn thing. Unless I'm mistaken, using it as an area spell the blades will float around you and then attack nearby enemies.

And I'm not sure where you're getting "force push doesn't push" from, but it does. I also miss heal life, though.

First off im sorry hard core Fable fans if this angers you infact i loved fable 1 and I would consider myself a fan untill this; but its my opinion and this sectuion is for just that so if you dont like it tough.. dont read it.

I would reccomend this game to people who like the SIMs, cross dressing, homosexuals who like the play with colorful cute little outfits, or very easy games and for ages ranging from 5-14. Enjoy flaming me just remember to change your diper and/or underwear between posts thank you.

Sorry, asshole, but I think you're less likely to get flamed for not liking Fable that you are for basically calling us cross-dressing faggots.

I don't think fable 2 was a let down. Sure they promised some things that wasn't actually as great as PM said but it was good nonetheless.

Re: Fable 2 let down?

Ya i didnt read anything about the game before i played it, i wanted to be surprised hehe and i was not disapointed i had a great time and i still am I played Fable 1 and was bummed out when it ended, lol would love to see more quests and maybe some different spells but meh over all i loved it and hope there will be a Fable 3

 

[fable2rules123]

Re: Fable 2 let down?

PM will probs keep all his promises .. like i have said before keep your eye on the patches

The game takes a while for someone new to fable .. i can clock fable 1 in about 10 hours its not hard ... the exp was put high in this one cause in fable 1 people found a spot where you can farm 999999 general xp in 30 minutes and go max your char .. (game pretty much simple after this) therefore the last boss in fable 1 takes a minute and a half to kill .. he probably wanted the last cutscene to explain things ... (I didnt understand it anyhow) please take things into a wider perspective before posting your garbage.


KKthxbi!!!!!!

How do u do that in fable 1

Fable 2 Failed Hard the ending was not only that compairable to the ending of the supranos or Cloverfield but it happened before I knew it I kept saying to myself as I shot Lucian " I hope there is more I hope there is more" but of corse there wasnt...

It makes no sence that u find The last hero and 10 minutes later the game is over while u know the others for most of the game.

The lack of armor was a huge dissapointment I know what they were getting at with the individuality but who cares? If that where the case they should have many different types of armor with the same bonuses or small changes in attributes maby instead of gay looking cloths they should have at least some more desireable clothing to choose from.

It seems they focused more on having a family, buying houses and wearing lame and prissy little outfits with dyes than actual game play! If I wanted a game baced almost soley on that crap I would be playing the SIMs, there where no REAL bosses or any good battles to fully enjoy the well made fighting interface bandits and hollows made up 75% of the enemies you encounter while exploring. BOOOOORING!!! All you need is a slighty good gun and you win the game... seriously its as easy as that shoot n roll is all you need maby a slash of the sword once in a while.

The weapons also didnt look all that great even the legendary weapons where kindof lame. No really cool looking swords or anything just pretty much standard guns and big guns with standard swords and big axes ect...

Fable 1 (and I say this with complete honesty) was actually far better than 2. The pros beat the cons in 1 while in fable 2 the cons woop the crap outta the pros. And as for downloadable content, fans better hope they have a catostrophic update that adds the whole missing half of fable 2, and even then i didnt spend $65.45 for a game that I have to wait another 3 years of downloadable content for it to even get the least bit worth while.

While fable 2 was O K it didnt even come close to expectations and i think that most people would agree while the game had it good points mainly just graphic wise and alittle bit of exploring for 3 years of production and huge anticipation it was sad. I will probably end up selling the game at a local game store for less than half what I payed this week as I have finished everything in about 2 weeks including all the keys, pretty much all the hidden items, demons doors and gargoyals and beaten the game 3 times. infact i may actually play fable 1 again just to remind me that Fable isnt a bad game.

I would reccomend this game to people who like the SIMs, cross dressing, homosexuals who like the play with colorful cute little outfits, or very easy games and for ages ranging from 5-14. Enjoy flaming me just remember to change your diper and/or underwear between posts thank you.

:realmad:SHUT THE F*** UP. The game was awsome. U just don't know a cool game when u see one. U FAG.

Hey people

im here today to ask you...
do you think that fable 2 was a let down? Nope.

personaly... i do...
all the things they tried to fix... they killed... all the things that were good in ther first game... they tried to make better....and they made them worse... Not in my op.

for starters... ALL magic is too good... and there all the same... force push... doesn't push... wtf... that makes sense... lighting, fire, and force push... are all damage spells...
All magic is BALANCED, hence LEVELING UP THE SKILLS.

the summoning spell isn't strong enough... the things you summon don't do nearly enough damage... It's supposed to be a AID while you bash on them with other magic or swords.

i havn't really used the confusion spell... so i can't say anything bout that...

and you have unlimited ammount of mana... wtf... to win the game all you have to do is sit there and keep on hitting B!
Do you think it's fair warriors and rangers have unlimited strikes? NO. So mages should be too.
You may be able to kill them easy, but IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU USE THE SPELL COMBINATIONS, that way you get bonuses and you survive on the bonuses.


and as for everything else... well... to get to the higher lvls of things... it takes too much XP (to get lvl 5 summon... it is 198000 XP)
Above.

for some one who has beatin the game twice... it takes a long time to get that much XP... and thats for one thing...
Yet again, above.

any way... i could go on all day about this game....

but i want to here what you people have to say about what i have said... and about the game.

Why would the last hero have much of a story anyway?
Lucien needs all three, and he has ben trying to get them before you.

If that where the case they should have many different types of armor with the same bonuses or small changes in attributes maby instead of gay looking cloths they should have at least some more desireable clothing to choose from.
The lack of armor is moslty because why the hell would I want to look like a idiot in platemail? I hate armor, I hate certain clothes. Same goes for other people, would you want the best armor in the game to be a type that looks like your wearing girl clothes?

Your difficulty is based on how to fight, the better you fight the more exp you recieve.

The weapons also didnt look all that great even the legendary weapons where kindof lame. No really cool looking swords or anything just pretty much standard guns and big guns with standard swords and big axes ect...
How do you want them too look? like a hello kitty glock?

Whole missing half? There was nothing missing, the whole point was to get revenge on lucien and enjoy the game, not rush through the entire thing without doing sidequests and sitting around with a friend in a pub drinking the night away.

Oh and these questions are answered in the game, but obviously...you didn't pay attention or do any side quests.

Re: Fable 2 let down?

You need to look at it as not an extension of Fable but a game in its own right. Yes, the references to Fable 1 are there etc but when Fable 1 came out it was stand alone - it wasn't a prequel, sequel or beginning of any sort of series, per se. So you had armour, expressions, items etc that would not be found in medieval times. Now they have created a new world, they have made more allusions to reality and history - you can play a lute, but no air guitar. No Union Jack pants and no easter eggs such as the bully telling people to wash his mum's car. But it retains its humour nonetheless and is a much more mature game - think of it as having gone through puberty and come out the other side as a more grown-up and modified young adult, creating a different world, different story and much more intriguing characters, IMO.

I missed that bit I just highlighted the first time I read that. WAAAAAH! [sobs hysterically.] I was so sad. They left out my flag undies! I loved them so much, too.

 

[Wonderfoole WINO]

Re: Fable 2 let down?

i loved the game. and while it has some disapointments i wouldnt call it a letdown. nothing is perfect. im not gonna bitch about the ending, i just injoy the gameplay. from what iv seen its much improved over fable 1 and so fable 3 will be much better aswell. so unless you can create a game thats better, stop complaining everyone. its just a game. chillax. although a do agree with alot of the points in the first post, i still like the game. i think the bigest problem with the game is that it was once again over hyped and so people didnt get what they expected.

Re: Fable 2 let down?

wow asalant, nice triple post, and nice lame disses over the net. ur right, we need our diaper changed, something a BIG MAN that hides behind his comp and makes fun of others over the net has surpassed, just like you can call 'little kids' fags over the net.

well i never read what PM promised, the only thing i knew about fable was the like january or w/e thing where they presented fable 2 for the first time, and all they told us was that we could have kids and have co-op, which was all i needed to hear. didnt hear any other promise he said, but i think its better that way, cuz i was expecting something worse, but i got something amazing. i think its a great game, and i think the spells are amazing, and the way they made them, like target or AoE, and charge to different levels. the storyline could have been longer but it was still amazing, and i cant compare it to fable 1 cuz they were both too good, and ive played fable 1 like 99999 times over and over.
the only dissapointments i have, is that the DLC will prolly require microsoft points, and when it does come out, il sit in fetal position in the corner of my room for days until it becomes free.

either way tho, these are just opinions, and to some people it wasnt good, but i can take that, why would it matter to me anyway? its not like ur opinions are going to change mine about it. thx for sharing pedro

GO ANGEL GO!!!!

I personally love the game. i've completed it 3 times, playing it very thoroughly, doing things a little different each time, got all the achievements, co-op'ed and still, I want to play it more. the only thing i really missed from the first fable was the 'Berserk' spell. i loved that spell. never worrying abut being knocked ver, just poughing through the enemies and just generally Kickin' @$$. another thing, i would have liked both games to last alot longer with more epic battles(final fantasy style) but we can't always get what we want. on the other hand, who would play a game as epic as final fantasy VII, consecutively, 3 times over.

PS. this is definaitely a game for achievement whores
