Think of it as Gears of War's one button cover mechanic, but done for combat. You can still use the analog stick to make different combos and maneuvers. It's not a big deal.

Have you ever played the game? Have you found that the fighting system is defunct? I thought not. Don't judge something so quickly. When you play it, or read reviews that say the one button fighting system sucks, then make your judgement.

You fail by not knowing what Molyneux is actually doing and just reading Kotaku. Watch his E3 demo, its a three part combat system: Melee, Ranged and Magic all controlled by their own single button and it sounds awesome.

Well my personal advice would be to not listen to anything that guy says, but honestly the combat looks so much better than the original Fable.

Peter Molyneux is a complete tool anyway and deserves no respect from the gaming community. After he ruined the future of the Black and White series (which included a game that was in development for the DS) by allowing his company to be bought out by Microsoft even though he claimed that it would never happen.

If Fable 2 only has 3 different combat types like what was said above and only 1 button for each type, then that seems a lot more complicated then the old style which was to keep pressing a button every time you made a choice to attack, whether it be using magic, defending or physically attacking ala Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.

Peter Molyneux has an outstanding history of making games that dates far back before Black and White. He's a legend for a reason. Read up before making bold and baseless claims.

I liked Fable and am still really looking forward to Fable 2, but yeah, the one button combat thing makes me a little nervous as well. I saw the E3 demo and I'm still not quite convinced, but I'm holding off until we hear from some hands on testers before I make any final decisions.

I was skeptical as well, but then I saw it in action and it actually looks pretty good. Still wish the block button was separate though, and to be honest I always play as magic characters so it's not that big a deal for me.

System wars bashes everything that isn't multiplat game. GTA 4 should be bashed alot more then halo 3 graphically but, it doesn't.

I loved Fable 1, so I will just wait and see how it works out when I get a chance to play it personally instead of just being rash and jumping to conclusions. The game is looking like it is coming along great if you ask me.

[QUOTE="MikeE21286"]That E3 Fable video I saw pretty much killed any hype I had for Fable 2.LinKuei_warrior

The combat looked clunky and the animations seemed really bad. I mean if you're going to use 1 button for combat atleast make the animations smoother than that. I don't know.....hopefully some sort of playable demo could change my mind.

whys that buddy?

EDIT: When will I learn not to use quick quote, it always erases my message :evil:

What I said in my post that got erased was basically that the combat looked clunky and the animations were not very smooth. I would think that for a game that uses only 1 button for ALL it's combat, the animations would play a big role, and they didn't really impress me. Hopefully a demo could change my mind.

im not sure if i'll like this one. i LOVED fable 1 it was the game that made me play rpg games because that one is probably the best game ive ever played ( and i played that in black and white!) other then the GOW series on the ps2. but i mean its called FABLE so it should have more mistical things. and not much buildings. then again i havent seen much gameplay so im 50/50 if i see a dragon or a stone or ice monster then i will buy this game 100%
