Mixed Emotions.

[SilentFilmStar]

Well, I just borrowed Fable from a friend and played it on my 360 (btw its glitchy as hell on the 360) at first I loved it, but after awhile of playing I started to get mad at the game. It just seemed like the game fell flat in certain aspects such as "making a class". You can "choose" to be a warrior, archer or mage, but no matter which class you choose in the end you will have to rely on a sword to finish anyone off. It was over hyped by the creator Peter Molyneux (he should just keep his mouth shut when the game is being promoted). Not to mention that you play the whole game making decisions to be good or evil but in the end it doesn't matter. Despite how evil you are the people that are afraid of you still ask you to help them (do good deeds) then act surprised when you attack them... ? ...

Anyway, I'm not saying Fable sucked, just that it was hyped up to be a this perfect game and I was just a little disappointed in the outcome.

Now with Fable 2 coming out in October 2008 and seeing all the great stuff Mr. Molyneux said is going to be added to the game. I'm starting to have mixed emotions about Fable 2, even though I'm looking forward to this game the most out of all the new games coming out at the end of this year.

Let me know what you guys think.
What did you guys think about the final product of Fable? Did it live up to all the hype for you?
Does anyone else have mixed emotions about how Fable 2 will turn out?

that is hard to say if fable 2 will be good or not

I felt the same way with the first Fable game. Peter promised us all these cool, groundbreaking features that would change RPG's forever. And while Fable did a great deal of good, I can't help but think of how Peter deceived us.

So when Fable 2 was Finally announced, I was anxious to listen to Peter, once again, describe this fantasic new world chalk full of bold new features. But this time, I was going to call BS! But after listening to him talk, and in alot of cases, apologize, for over-hyping the first game, he says he realized how wrong he was and PROMISES that this time the team at LH will get it right. He says they had bold ideas that the Xbox couldn't handle due to it's hardware, but now that they have the power of the 360 all of thier ideas now can be carried out. Those promises, coupled with the fact that they have been working on this game for 3+ years, lead me to believe this time Peter may have gotten it right. *

Lets hope he has learn from his mistakes, or at least talks to the his team before he goes out talking about the game. I'm excited for this game but at the same time I can wait for it.
Regardless I'm still going to buy it.

I really believe Fable 2 will far surpass Fable TLC, in just about everything. It has 180,000 lines of conversation. The NPC's will all have their own individual stories. You'll even have a Father-In-Law, when you're married.
Peter is determined that this game will meet everyones expectations. Of course there are a few that will never be happy. But me, personally, can't wait.

fable was a great game, i still play it to this day. and fable 2 should be even better, unless we get a black and white 2 mistake..

I loved Fable TLC. I will love Fable 2 even more, because it'll be more of a challenge. And a whole new story.

I've not played TLC. I seen it in Book and Music Exchange for $20, but my friend gave me the original game. I didn't want to buy TLC if I already had Fable.
Am I missing out on anything special?

I know the TLC, is longer. I don't know the other differences. JWC, does very well, I believe, if he was on, and I'm sure a lot of other people, who mod it. Look in the TLC, section, I bet there's some answers.

I really dont listen to much to video game hype bc i know ill get let down. But fable changed the way of rpgs in diffrent ways........and fable 2 will be even more groundbreaking. But whith all he is saying it should be a very well developed game that will inspire more to be like it. Just that october is a long ways away.

I didn't think it was too ground breaking and RPG's are mostly my favorite genre.
There are a lot of things I didn't like about the game. It was way too short first of all. It didn't matter if you were good or evil, it all took you to the same outcome the only difference is how you looked at the end. I could go around and kill hundreds of innocent people then toss some gold in a well and people acted like nothing happened. The fact that you can BUY the best weapon in the game (not counting the one at the end because you already BEAT THE GAME!) before you can get any of the legendary weapons. For example: Before I could pull the "legendary sword out of the stone" I already had the Solus Greatsword... which was almost 3 times better then this almighty sword. Hmm here is a choice... spend all your time trying to pull this great sword out of stone OR just go tele to a shop and buy one thats so much better. The fact that you cant be just one class, when it boils down to using the sword in the end anyway (WTF is a "Spellwarrior"?!). You cant be a mage bc you will just turn into a Redmage type character.

Even though I have a lot of complaints with the game, there was still enough of the game I liked. Enough to where I and psyched to play the second one. I give fable over all a 6.8/10 and thats not including all the glitches in the game (like my character looking green and yellow with leaves painted on his face and half of an NPC's face imprinted on my back) just because I played it on my 360.

I had fun playing it, even though my girlfriend didn't enjoy watching me.

To me it was an attempt to making Fable 2 (assuming its going to be as good as Molyneux says).

BLASPHOMY!!!

[Skorm's Boss]

I loved Fable, Fable TLC, and I will love Fable 2, I love it's little faults and take no notice of the hype. Fable was the first video game that I played and thought, they made this game for me

[TRA Rotid]

I also really liked to play Fable, even now. Then I think of all the stuff that would have been better, the game feels like it`s kinda incomplete.
Fable is great as it is... Its just that if you think too much of the stuff that wasn`t there, it ruins the fun.

[SilentFilmStar]

Its not blasphemous to give my opinion on a game, the game is not a God or sacred thing. It's just how I feel about it. I DID say I liked the game.
