FAble 2: Closest thing to MMORPG on 360???

So I'm playing Fable 2 for the first time yesterday and I throw on my head set to send a voice message to a friend.

The game had my full attention so naturally I forgot to take the headset off. So I'm wandering around Albion and all of sudden I hear someone talking. Like...in my headset.

I was also kinda faded so it really took me by surprise. I knew that you could see orbs of players on-line as they play in their own world but I didn't realize that you could talk to someone just by standing close to them.

The 'everyone' option was also selected so I was hearing lots, and lots of voices. So after playing for awhile, this game really started to feel like a mmorpg (which I've always wanted for the 360) from all the on-line players traveling around in my world. And having the ability to communicate with them just by being near them.

Did this feature take anyone else by surprise? And how do you feel about it? I usually leave the 'everyone' option on unless I'm really trying to complete a mission and the voices become too distracting.

Fable 2, IMO, deserves at least a 9.0. Its so epic. Loving the music and graphics and how open the world is! IGN UK gave it a 9.5, and thats more like it

Considering the MM stands for Massively-Multiplayer, and Fable 2 is single player that can't play with anyone without an update, and then its only the option of playing coop with 1 person it's nowhere near being an MMO. Basically all it allows you to do is talk to other players, but not actually see or interact with them, which is pretty much the same as a game lobby.Avenger1324

Pretty much and what about FF11 is that not an MMORPG

You can follow, do the same quests, chat with, give gifts to, etc in real-time as your floating orb friends and with anyone else in that area. So no, its more than just a game lobby :roll:

Are we forgetting Phantasy Star Universe(which still sucks)?mitu123

No it just sucked so therefore does not need to be mentioned ever again

No, the closest thing to an MMORPG on 360 would be FFXI, an actual MMORPG.thelamborn60

And PSO.

This is like asking... i've never played Ratchet and Clank, but lets assume that one level has a FPS mode. This is like asking if Ratchet and Clank is the closest thing to a FPS on the PS3... despite the fact that there are actual legitimate FPS games on the PS3.

Ehh, I don't trust it. These guys are shooter fans. They don't know how to judge FPS. They gave Eternal Sonata 8.5 and its absolute crap. If the combat isn't turn based, they give RPGs like an 8 by default.

Plus its an RPG... the whole genre is built around using story and characters. They've said that the story and characters in the game are crap. GS and IGN both said that.

And RPG with bad story and characters getting an 8.5 makes as much sense as a review of a fighting game where they say the fighting is crap yet somehow the game gets an 8.5.

Is 360's only MMORPG FFXI? lolScootyPuff
