Hmm, well Mass Effect got an 8.5. If Fable 2 is as good as it then Fable 2 is epic win.

[QUOTE="Dreams-Visions"]Gears of War 2 cometh. MarloStanfield

No guarantees my man

and it's hardly a big leape from the first gears (which was very overrated in my opinion)

I'll say it again: Gears of War 2 cometh. AAAE, guaranteed.

[QUOTE="Dreams-Visions"][QUOTE="MarloStanfield"]

:lol: OMG Lemmings have no AAA exclusives this year, what the heck?

Wii has better exclusives this year, PS3 has better exclusive this year.

Zhengi

Gears of War 2 cometh.

Imagine if that flopped too. Too much potential for lolzers :)

now THAT would be hilarious.

  • Story and characters lack depth
  • Good and evil paths don't seem well-balanced
  • Lousy map.

A lot of these same things could be said about the first one.
[QUOTE="Toriko42"][QUOTE="nervmeister"]I think I may have to evacuate GS for a while. This is not gonna be pretty.white_sox

I'm prepping for my thread with the most posts ever

Back when TP flopped my thread was the one that was pinned. It ballooned so fast.

Was that the same problem they had with the first one? If so doesint bug me since I actually enjoyed the story and some of the characters.

I can't believe they flopped their "game of the show." :o Regardless, it's still a great game and I hope all you 360-owners have fun with it. Fallout 3 will be getting my attention, however.

If I had a 360, I'd still get Fable 2. Fable 1 scored even less than Fable 2 overall on metacritic and yet I enjoyed it far more than Oblivion, so I KNOW I'd love the sequel.

So IGN and GS are the only sources which gave the game less then AAA, where the other sites gave it AAA.

I think GS is losing their grip, read the review, and it sound AAA. But when they scored it, it's AA.

No people, it's not a flop, it's a Gamespot flop. It's like saying Mass Effect and Twilight Princess flopped because Gamespot gave them both a AA score.

CaseyWegner

hyped to be AAA at gamespot and were not AAA at gamespot. that = flop.

Yeah its a flop, but only the fanboys get hurt over it.

Edit: For some reason my reply was in Casey's post.....

Miserably I might add.

From what I have heard/read the game has such bad connection problems that most people can't even play a full match.

Lmao bad damage control trying to use socom confrontation as a cover up for this flop. Still I am getting fable 2 so cheers :D, but seriously I think socom will be in the 7's and we don't even know what the hype for it is... I say A

I was just throwing it in there, I have no preference either way.

[QUOTE="virtuas"]

well, there goes the game of the year for FABLE 2. i hope ppl would stop comparing this game to the likes of LBP, MGS4 and soon R2 and GEars 2.

for a game that was hype to be the first AAAAE or a 9.5 game, it fails. 8.5 is not a bad score but with so much hype, you would think it will get a better score. this is a like a flop, flop just like liar, haze, and that other xbox game

Il_Exile_lI

GS does not equal god. This game will win plenty of GOTY awards, and it is getting AAA-AAAA all over the place.

it will be a contender but MGS4 or LBP owns 2008. maybe they can try again with FIBBLE 2

Same thing was said about MGS4.

Im not saying Fable 2 will in any manner of speaking score a perfect 10, just pointing out that anything is possible, literally.

Anything is possible jam the 8.5 right up your ears !

couple of weeks? Fallout 3 comes out next week, doesn't it?

Cows can spin that DV. They're powerful creatures when they're charging their LAAAEZRS. I say let them have their glory, they're always getting picked on. (Not as much though, thanks to the Wii)

No one is saying that a flopped game is bad. Just that it didn't meet the hype.

I have no problem with an 8.5 score. The negatives that Oshea stated I can shrug off because while I see his point, I completely disagree. Only thing disappointing to me about this game are the load times, which I already knew about from the leaked vids.. I'll be picking this one up tomorrow!

SW would be awful that day.
I think Gears will be fine, though.
But, indeed. There would be a lot of lol'z that day.

And, awww @ Fable II flopping.
I'm still gonna play it, though. I liked the first one.
I just need to find some time to play it. Too many games.

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]i still don't get why people use "flop" as a bash against a high scoring game. Ninja-Hippo

Because system wars has evolved in a manner whereby a flop has become a bad game. Just like at all the hate on Ninja Gaiden 2, despite it being a great game.

A flop should be a game that scores significantly lower than the hype. Not one increment.

Thats in a dream world buddy. Fact is this is SW and faboys rule it plain and simple. If the game score is off by .5 points its a flop. Even if the game is great thats just how things work here. Same thing happend to resistance and uncharted.
