Okay, I have traded in most of my games, because the lineup for this month is killer, including Farcry 2 and Fallout 3. Then Gears 2 to kick off November. But I am having a delima, what will be better in the long run, Fable 2 or SR2? Farcry, Fallout and Gears are all paid for, but only one can be baught from either Fable or SR. Any suggestions?

Is that really a question?

Fable 2...a likely-to-be-revolutionary game which is a massive rpg which will incorporate online co-op play

or

Saints Row 2...a GTA knock off that will not have anywhere near the replay value

Go for Fable 2

Not trying to be sarcastic at all. I just don't know which to get. Fable was awesome as an action rpg with some twists on the genre and SR was a great sandbox game that corrected some and added to the elements that made GTA awesome. I think both will be great in their own ways. I loved both of the originals and thus, having a hard time deciding between the two.

Molyneux with his false promises again. Online Coop wont even be playable out of the box. That's even more of a fail then when Too Human went from 4 player to 2.

Fable 2 for sure, going to be a revolutionary game. Also whoever said its not shipping with online co-op, deal with it. They already said it will be included in an update about a week after release, I think you can live without it for a week. And I think the whole online co-op deal, might be more on Microsoft's end not Lionhead.

Fable II. It's a fresh idea and should be alot of fun. Saints Row 2 is nothing more than a ghetto version of GTA without the creativity or tongue in cheek ness.

Fable looks promising, but the recent events aren't looking good for the final game: the co-op not being available for the first week and the pulling of the Limited Edition contents. Things are looking kinda grim right now.

Fable 2 over Saints Row 2 hands down. Sure Saints might be fun, but it wont have a story like Fable 2.

Wow man, I have the exact same dilemma you do. I'm already set on Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3, but since my budget is tight, I can't decide on whether to get Saints Row 2 or Fable 2 either. Right now I'm leaning towards Saints Row 2, since I don't really want to have to worry about two RPGs at one time, but I'm wanting Fable 2 because I somewhat liked the first one, and it looks really promising. I'll eventually own both games, but if I had to decide right now which to get first I would probably go with Saints Row 2.

Fable 2 is a high quality, exclusive title

Saints Row 2 is a glitchy, poorly developed, random GTA wannabe.

I would say Fable 2 b/c i have not played a Saints Row game yet (I've heard it's very repetitive). Fable is a better game to me also b/c i like the RPG type game and the fact that you start with a young version of yourself and it allows you to grow your character however you want makes me like that personalization ( Unlike the pre-set in game character in other games). Fable 2 hands down/ You get a dog as a companion/ Now if that ain;t cool that i don't know what is.

Err? At least put I think or something as in an opinion. Saints Row 2 isn't glitchy nor poorly developed and quite different than GTA. I personally find it more fun than GTA although GTA does own in graphics.

I'd rather have Saints Row 2. I'll likely have more fun in co-op with it and I'm still mad about all the lies told for the first Fable. Also if Fable 2 is anything like the first story wise, Saints Row 2 will have a better story.

I will get flamed for this but fable 2 looks pretty bad just like most RPGS its dull but theres tons to do but SR2 has tons on offer and guess what its all gonna be fun to do.

As this forum has been swarming with people who can't wait for Fable 2 for months now (many of whom I might add either forgot what disappointments Fable, Black and White and The movies were or are simply too young to remember we have been here before with Lionhead and Molyneux) you were never going to get a fair consesnsus.

The answer is simple If you want a sequel to the above average (but no better) Saints Row buy that. If however you want a sequel to one of the game industry's biggest disappointments since Enter The Matrix buy Fable 2.

I agree **** Fable 2 I've never played all I know is that u can marry other dudes kinda **** up but yea. Saints row 2 is a knock off but saints row is a little more faster paced than GTA 4... in my opinion. Both games might have negatives and positives but in the end Fable 2 is gonna kick saints row 2's ass any day.

Fable 2 FTW. The original SR was fun and all, but I just KNOW that Fable 2 will have more bang for your buck as well as being a more satisfying gaming experience.

Saints Row 2...It isn't a GTA rip-off. It's just the same concept (open-world, gangster storyline). The actually games themselves play different and all the things i've seen on Saints Row 2 are making me very excitied for this game.

Either way though, you can't go wrong. Both are going to be soild titles.

I would say just wait on these two. Saints Row 2 is alot of the same as the first but more polished. I'm sure Fable 2 will be good but I personally do not trust everyone saying coop will be there in a week or saying you wont have to pay extra to get coop. Im taking the wait and see approach on both. The trimming of the collectors edition is just wrong. Waiting a few weeks before release to back up on things already promised well thats the type of buisness I stay away from.

Yeah FableII sucks if you take every new feature out of context and make every flaw as if it were the end of the world.

Now watch as I apply the same method to Saints Row 2

The concept is "Cash in on a quick GTA knock-off, just rename everything" the game play actually has "tea-bag" button and yes it's just what your thinking it is. The story is these gangsters made you mad so go shoot them for about 4 hours.

That just about sums it up

That isn't the storyline to Saints Row 2...so you failed at your attempt to bash the game.

Ok, explain to me how saints rips off GTA? Are we not allowed more than one urban open world sand box game? Saints 2 takes the gta formula and packs way more content than any GTA out there. Its called quantity over quality, only in this case saints still adds great quality. Just read about saints row 2, it has 10x the replay value than GTA 4 and adds way more fun to the concept.

Anyways, ill be getting both but saints row first.

Do you know anything about sr2? You can customize every aspect of your character, your gang, your vehicles, and your hide outs. Do you know of any of the activities in the game? Have you heard of the zombie mini game that clearly rapes any retarted arcade game you can play in GTA. I love GTA 4, but it lacks a lot of content. There is nothing in the game worth doing after you beat it unless of course you enjoy bowling or going to shows with your pals.

You didn't read what I wrote. I said Fable was a disappointment. I said Black and White was a disappopintment. I said that The Movies was a disappointment. I, in no way, made any kind of judgement on what Fable 2 will or will not include. I simply stated that Lionhead have a habit of feeding the hype machine until it can't take any more and then shipping disappointing final products.

Err? At least put I think or something as in an opinion. Saints Row 2 isn't glitchy nor poorly developed and quite different than GTA. I personally find it more fun than GTA although GTA does own in graphics.

After watching many videos, most actions dont even have animations (shooting basketballs, getting in cars, etc), and the graphics are pretty poor. I cant wait to jump out of the levels with my friends online, cause you know it will be easy to! :lol:

Yeah, and GTA had perfect graphics. But it was boring...I still haven't beat it, everytime I play it I feel like I'm having to force myself to. I'm loving the custimazation on Saints Row 2 though, great fun :P

You don't even know enough about the game to say the things you have. I was the same too, until I read about it. It has A TON of replay value and I really can't wait to play it. It has so many mini-games and the customization is insane.

wtf sue me cuz i dont want to become retarded from learning about SR2. Anything to do with that gmae has an aura of retardation. I think I'm losing brain cells just participating in this forum.The_360_Ghost

And there is your white flag.

You made my point exactly, you don't know anything about Saints Row 2. Your just bashing it to bash it.

I guess Fable I is a rip off of Morrowind than...since they both have magic spells, are open world sandbox games, and are set around the same time period. That is basically what your saying about Saints Row compared to GTA.
