Fable 2 is the best RPG ever.

Fable 2 has got to be the best RPG ever. I just got it and it really deserves an 9.5 rating at least. The graphics are seamless and seem very realistic while the story is near perfect. The game's open-endness far surpasses other RPG games like GTA4 or MGS4. I do not understand how GTA4 can get such a high score while a great game Fable 2 can't? Is it bias? Fable is the obvious better game.

It's barely an rpg but if you must label it as one it's not even the best rpg on the 360. That would go to Mass Effect.

Fable 2 is just an incredibly simple, incredibly easy yet pretty action adventure game with some minor rpg elements. Calling it the best rpg ever is a slap in the face to true rpgs like Baldur's Gate and the Fallout series.

Fable 2 was good. Things could have been better though. IMO FF series has it beat so far...

Hahaha. The story is very short (8 hours or so) and not inspiring or interesting. Running feels totally broken and graphics don't look good at all outside of the town.

Fable 2 doesn't even belong in the top 30 best RPGs. There's many many RPGs that surpass it in terms of quality.

The Bloodstone Demon Door does enough to show off Fable II's wonder. You can own anything, you can play as you will. So if the game is only 8 hours for one playthrough than it is 24 hours if you are to experience all 3 endings.

Perhaps you could expand on your statement.

KOTOR

KOTOR II

Morrowind

KOTOR Uses D&D 3.0 rules (maybe its 3.5).

KOTOR has a huge amount of character development also.

Morrowind is also a Role Playing Game.

You also use skills to get experience points so you can level up.

I know you're trolling but I'm bored so I'll bite. You obviously have only played one rpg in your life, and that's Fable 2. If I was in your situation I'd agree it's the best RPG ever, just like it'd be the worst.

I said RPG, not action adventure game. KOTOR and KOTOR II seem to be more about fighting than character development. While Morrowwind is absolutely horrible and you cannot get stuck into it at all, it feels like a deeper version of Obilivion which is just a bland dungeon crawler. Olimar_the_Min

Knights of the Old Republic is the definition a Role Playing Game. You play the role of an abandoned Jedi who has the power and destiny to shape him/herself along with all those you meet interact with. An incredibly engrossing story. Play how you will, and have your decisions actually mean something.

The running doesn't feel natural at all. You'll eventually get used to it but the running feels similar to socom for some reason.. which is not a good thing seeing as how socom's running wasn't that bad seeing as how it was a shooter.

In the town the graphics were good with decent textures (not much bump mapping, but that's alright) but outside of it, it didn't look very good. Grassy areas barely had an grass as most of it was just flat green and textures were average.

Maybe i'm nit picking on the graphics but the running animation definitely IMO doesn't feel natural.

Yes but where is the imagination? The whole KOTOR universe is based of Star Wars, it's nothing new and been re-used many times, I am talking about fresh new RPGs.

Its barely based off of starwars.

It takes place like 4000 years before the plot of the movies.

You obviousy never played it.

The game isn't that good. Yes the graphics are good, but really there's just not a lot of content after the story. There's nothing drawing me back into the game. Unlike Oblivion, there are no guilds to enter or anything like that. Also, the combat and spells were really shallow. There was barely any categories to level up in, far to few. jrabbit99

The ability to corrupt or purify your teamates is a truly amazing mechanic. To have someone go from saying that "Killing is wrong" to "He deserved it" is a powerfull experience.

There wasn't as much emphasis on the whole good-evil part of the gameplay as much as Fable 1, it's hard to go back and play just for that. :/

Maybe if it was the only RPG ever made.dual_boot

Fable 2 is an enormous load of poorly designed garbage.

Its world is tiny, maddeningly restrictive, and boring, its story is flat-out idiotic bull ****, to a degree rarely seen even in this industry, its core mechanics are horrible, its character building sucks ass, and allows you to be a jack of all trades (which doesn't really matter I suppose, when your entire goddamn skillset only relates to combat), the game doesn't really have multiple ways to play through it, aside from a few branching quests and the ending, which takes the whole ME philosophy of "implied decisions are bad" to another level altogether, "teh hughe decisions!!1!" are few, far between, and poorly implemented, the quest design is godawful, and, to top it all off, it's loaded with technical problems, from pop-up and bad animations, to glitches out the ass.

Fable 2 fails miserably, not only as an RPG, but as a game, in general, and you calling it "the best RPG ever" would be ****ing hilarious if it were not so sadly indicative of the state of the genre.

Maybe I'll wait for a major pricedrop.Lto_thaG

Honestly, I would reccomend skipping it altogether, but if you simply must play it, just rent it.

There isn't all that much content; I was able to clear everything the game had to offer me in just a few days, and I was playing several other games at the time.
