The Official Fable 2 Review thread!

[ZenfoldorVGI]

I'll just tell him. Molly said it was a 9/10. Remember? Look where it landed. Saying this game is a "flop" to nearly the extent of Too Human is a result of fanboyism, plain and simple, why hint around it. It amounts to someone trying to marginalize the game, like it was a disappointment, when actually, it landed at or above a lot of people's expectations. Especially with several of the harsher reviewers. Besides those "oh so imporant numbers for people who can't read" the actual reviews, from gamespot especially, suck the games c^%k.

Saying, "It has not turned out like it should have been," is an ignorant presumption from someone who didn't even know anything about the first game. This guy didn't even know about gay marriage being in the game, he's never even lain eyes upon a summary of it. Oh boo hoo for Xbots, their new exclusive is only 9/10. It's another Too Human. Christ. That's an ignorant of a flamebait troll as I've heard. It did the job by pissing me off, or I wouldn't have responded, but sheesh, this guy.

It's another case of a Sony fan trying to rub in "bad news" where none exists.

If I asked someone a week ago if Fable 2 was gonna get better reviews than LBP, everyone would have laughed at me. Now, suddenly, Fable 2 fails because it only got "Great" range Uncharted 9/10 reviews? Fable 2 fails with a 9/10?

Ok. Too Human failure by Molly...or ignorant foeboy marginilization. You decide.

Keeping in mind that Skeeuk tried to marginalize it twice earlier, when the reviews were resoundingly positive(like they are now, lowest is just below 80). He said we should think twice about buying a game with gay marriage in it. Now he says the reviews are too low. He's hated on this game for quite a while, albiet passive-agressively, and he's said that never in his life has he loved the upcoming titles of one system more than another than with his amazing PS3 over his 360. So yeah...don't let him get you down.

Final word: I don't think you'll find too many Xbox fanboys that would trade Fable 2 for LBP. That's real. Genres matter. For instance: I like 9/10 jrpgs better than 10/10 puzzle games any day of the week. I like 9/10 arpgs better than 9.4/10 2d platformers, and I'm not alone.

The most ignorant thing of all is putting so much weight on such a small differential in numbers, but that's a topic for another time. Besides the obvious fallacy in the Too Human comparison(high level flop), Ninja Gaiden 2 had higher expectations than Fable 2, yet scored lower. It still wasn't a failure. Fable 2 is just a larger success.
