Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

Wow...You people just can't be greatful for anything can you? :lol:

If you've played FEAR, which, I have. One of the boss fights of the game, gets killed the exact same was as Lucien. This..Bad guy you've been chasing all over the game. Shoot him once in the head..and that's it. Personally. I couldn't be more happy with the game. I think they spent there time developing AI interaction. The levels and designs. geeze. Maybe they're be releasing extra content, Extra bosses. I don't know. I just see Fable 2 as more of a relaxing game.
You want a challenge? You want insane boss fights? ..play something else...You want something that's not fable.

And threads should stop being made about complaints. We can't fix what you hate about the game, and it's also a pointless discussion that could end up badly. :O

Except there is one huge flaw with your explaination. Fear isn't an RPG, in most RPG's we are used to extraordinary boss fights that go above and beyond what you would expect in most games. Play any Zelda game, the bosses are the size of oil rigs which makes the end of any temple something to look forward too. I've just come to expect epic boss fights in RPGs and this game had none. Even Fable 1 had that giant squid and giant scorpian you had to fight. If the first Fable was lacking in boss battles then I would expect the same thing from Fable 2, but that's just it, Fable 1 wasn't lacking in epic boss battles so why take them out for the second time?

And just as a side note, these discussions aren't pointless at all. Peter Molyneux has said that he spent a lot of time browsing forums after the first Fable came out so he could see what he did wrong and change it for the second Fable. If we don't discuss the negative aspects of this game then we can just expect to see them again in Fable 3.

So what if they're both not RPG's. I compared them as games, and as "boss'" some one you chased around a game to kill. Not to mention. Lucien is just a plain old human. I wouldn't have expected him to be any stronger than what he was.
And a side note to you. Half these people aren't saying what he should change. All they do is swear, moan and complain. It's not constructive feedback. It's: "the game didn't have what I wanted"

I think the ending would have been better if the Family choice brought Rose back to life. She was one of the nicer parts of the game; her and Hammer's Down By The Reeds song.

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

I'd be happy if Rose would return as well. And of course, if I could have kept the Spire for my own. :w00t:

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

i feel the same, so does everyone else

i have more fun posting & complaining about the ending then actually playing it. But evrything else rocks

Everyone else?

I liked how you killed him! And I didn't do the story all the way through straight away I took my time.. so it didn't seem reaaaaally short for me..

dude you've gotta realize this fable was mean't to be a little more realistic... i mean ya floating ice shards are a little off but still, its a decent sequel

Sephi i agree with everything you say... but people will be people and knit pick, i have to also agree to tht the ending wasn't so fufilling though... any kinda battle woulda been fun, like lucien is a wicked mage or something, i did find reaper saying "o did u want to shoot him?" kinda funny though.. :lol:

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

Dunno why rose didn't come back. I wish she would have too. I guess it's basically the "bring your dog back" choice.

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

well like Indypunk said, what could he do, pull out a gun, thats it, no magic, no sword and i got one word for that.....BORING!!!

 

[Lionheart]

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

I thought it was perfect, I mean he kills everyone else with a single bullet so to fire at him in the groin was sweet revenge.

 

[Dagzey]

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

i found the single shot kill to be rather poetic, since that's all it took to take rose's life!!!
it was kinda sad that you can't get rose back, but honestly, what would you expect to do if you could?
losing the dog, that was sad too, but the only disadvantage to it really, is that you can't go treasure hunting or finish the archeologist quests. if that bothers you, start over, you'll have a new dog, but try to explore more often, so you'll get what you missed the first time, and maybe then, the game will last longer too.
the only gripe i have, is the same as everybody elses. the bugs, but like everybody knows, lionhead are workin on it

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

Sephi! You speak the truth, my truth. All I see is the dissatisfaction that came with the first game. I loved it so much, it was filled with so much life, love, and beauty. Honestly, I wouldn't want anything about it to have been different, as in the end it was played out like a true story of destiny should. So the ending was "simple", but no way was it anti-climactic, I'd say a bullet to the head was a fitting end to such a horrible man(even if it did come from that arse Reaver).

Before the game was released it was stated by few that the storyline would be somewhat linear, with no random choices of good or evil. In the end it was really a journey of revenge, with it being fate that you were also the one to stop his plans. Of course your "wish" in the tower could be noted as good/neutral/evil, but I suppose it all depends on how you look at it.

But...yes most Silver Chests were lacking, as were one or two Demon Doors, but as stated by another, No game dun be perfekt. All that variety comes from the weapons, clothes, augments, etc. Moral choices come from quests your choose to do, or possibly ones you decide NOT to do(you may know).

The only real beef I could possibly have, forgive me but I must negatively comment on something, is that online crap, never expected needing to have Live to get the LCE stuff, and seeing as i don't have it, kinda ticked me off. That aside though, I can't really complain with what I've been spending a couple endless nights playing. So much to do and see, the only reason you should feel unsatisfies is because you had deeply wished this to be the "perfect" game, which there is no such thing so...SHAME ON THEE! That is all.

P.S. Hellooo~ Sephi and to all my other brethren, it's good to be back, a better intro may come later, one with fanfair again. Nothing says "The Greater One Returns" like fanfair.

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

im sick of this game srsly... i have finnished it 3 times.... im ****ing done now... i know the story, i know the ending. And the first play through was awsome... but then it just got old.

Every game eventually gets old

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

And lucien isnt a really powerfull person like jack of blades let alone he's not a hero so i dont see how their could be a epic battle against him

Edit:And He's a Old Man what is he? like 90?

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

Fable isn't only about combat... the purpose of the game is to acutally live in Fable. If you would live in a world like Fable, would you fight constantly?

Edit:And He's a Old Man what is he? like 90?

Yea, he is old, but if I'm correct, he wants to be immortal, and wants to resurrect his family.
Even Reaver is 200-300 years old...

k, we're not just talking about the bosses, we mean the BOSS batlle, and friggin aye dewd Lucien was a human but if you read his dairies after buildin some of the spire he gains control of alot of Will. also they kewdv made you come to late so that he finishes the ritual with the three heroesandgets te ultimate weapon and then kill him, like jack of blades.

 

[Sogen]

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

I thought the ending was good I liked the kid thing and walkingthat path to the box. Everyone e was also saying "omg I wasnt the one to kill lucien." but did the honors... In conclusion the ending was great.

Hate to burst that bubble but the ultimate weapon, or rather "The Relic", was the music box. In the end the didn't want him to be almighty, just an old, demented man with a vision of being ruler of a "purer" world. Would you really want to have an epic battle with an old man, what's he gonna do, fend you off with a cane, maybe call you whippersnapper in a really harsh tone?

Exactly he would be somewhere from 70-90 now and I am sick of games where you arrive to late and the final boss is now in his Uber Mode and you take 20 min just to kill him in your first try...even though a miss click in the forums made me learn of LUcien's death before his end in my game...I somehow feel happier knowing I don't need to fight some ultimate warlord of unspeakable doom...and yet your character always wins...there is something wrong with that for the final bosses.

I have played FEAR, although u die quick & the ammo goes down quick it was fun. I watched my cousi play FEAR my favorite parts are the little girl parts. CREEPY!!!:O I loved Fable 2 all the way.

Re: Horrible ending!!! (spoilers)

Lucien was so friggin powerful, not just an old man you dumbass! When your walking up to the spire after they dont explain how youre still alive they couldve had like a million spire gaurds you had to blow through. and then just shoot him, that wewda been way kewl.
