Fable 2 Wan't That Bad

I don't understand where all the hate for Fable II came from?

I own both and find both good for some the same and different reasons.

Fable 1 had great story and combat.

Fable 2 added a cool artsyle, cool weapons, and new customization options.

I wish some people could just stop being over-critical just because everyones doing it.

Sorry bout title misspell

I found Fable 2 to be a little too easy, as for Fable 1 I still play it sometimes, andI still loveit

But Fable 2 isn't horrible right?

I agree with the difficulty.

Yeah I tried out Fable II, and it was ok, but didnt have the same great feel as Fable on the original xbox. but It's still a good game.

I really enjoyed Fable 2. My favorite part was going around and buying all the property. What I would have liked is for it to be a little more difficult to buy property though. For example, in Oblivion I had to go around to each town and find that one house where I wanted to live in, because of budget constraints, that's all I could afford. In Fable 2, my indecision isn't an issue because I can buy the whole world.

Another thing I would have liked was for the camera to be a little closer. It would be more immersive. Fun game. I agree that there is far too much hate.

i enjoyed it alot yes it was short but shorter games i usualy replay a few times

• Boring story
• Boring combat
• Magic system is nearly broken to the point of unplayable
• For a game that was supposed to be immersive like no other game, i felt so alone.
• Too easy
• Small scale for an RPG.

The only things I liked about Fable 2 were exploring, the art style and the dog.Very mediocre if you ask me.

Here were the flaws, IMO: - Way too short - Way too easy - Way too little clothing It's nice with what they did, there just wasn't enough. Still a great game, though. I loved the whole total of 20 whopping hours I spent on it. Got bored right after beating it; sold it.orb_03_2006

Pretty Much sumed it up. Too Short and Really Easy. Also the ending SUCKED. It took away a mechanic and called you a jerk if wanted it back. Also that last boss was very anti climatic.

PS - The Knothole Island DLC is rubbish, you can only complete it if your a good character

you want to know why people hate it? it's the people who got the game first week it came out and all they did in the game was the main missions and nothing more.... well that wasn't issue for me i love going off doing other stuff in gamesk2theswiss

*hides my Fable II Limited Edition sleeve*

Regardless of when I bought my copy, my complaints with the game are the fact that Molyneux chatted up how revolutionary and sold us on how great the new game was over the first, when all it really added was a dog, a family, and a heavy-handed, meaningless choice "ending". The story was crap and gave you no options on how to actually play it out beyond a few, incredibly obvious and pittance morality choices. The NPCs were only slightly more human or interesting than the identical NPCs from the first; combat and magic were both stripped down versions of their previous incarnations, even the Colosseum was worse.

it was easy, short, and boring.

Fable II isn't bad at all. It's actually pretty good.

Fable 2 was a very good game but the difficulty is just laughable. I know difficult games can be a turnoff btu when there as easy as this you dont feel as if you have acomplished anything beating the game.

I quite enjoyed Fable 2....

Very lacking on content, and hell, it's buggier than Daggerfall. Well, maybe not so much now, after patches.

But on a smaller note, the whole new system of using Will was pretty boring, all the spells were used in the same fashion, it got redundant. I hope mana comes back and the old use of Will as well. Other than those three issues, there's not much I found problems with, really.

A lot of the hate for Fable 2 is because it wasn't released on the PC. "Hell hath no fury like a Hermit scorned"...lol. Just look at Alan Wake to see what I mean.

I really enjoyed Fable 2. I've played through it, and it's expansions quite a few times. I found the second one to be more enjoyable than the first one. Of course I tend to like games with more action in them. Yeah it had it's flaws. The ending sucked, It was short, etc, etc, but I did find it to be an a lot of fun.

That's pretty much how I felt. I also found every other game play element quite boring as well(jobs/missions/etc). It seems like young gamers would like it, but that's obviously not who the game was targeted to, what with it being rated M(not that it stops anyone).

Compared to just about any other rpg, it was shallow. Felt like rpg lite. The world was very closed off.

I like Fable right up until you get taken prisoner, after that it went downhill rapidly for me. The ending is one of the worst in recent memory, I hadn't felt so screwed over since the end of starfox adventures.

It could probably be considered short if you only go for the story, but I had loads of fun doing some random and unimportant stuff. The game has a lot to offer besides the story. My only complaint would be that I find the combat system a bit too shallow.

I thought it was pretty good and I pulled an all-nighter the first day I got it...Don't think I'll get 3 tho.
