The trailer for Fable 2 actually worries me, though I liked the first one and generally love RPG's. It just seems like it' still on those paths like the first one vs. free-roaming like Oblivion. Maybe it's not, but it looks like. And the environments just look so static to me. Pretty, but not much going on. The jury's out for me there.

What are you trying to say? That Fable 2 doesn't seem to become a free-roaming game? And free-roaming á la Oblivion is a great thing, right?

 Well I prefer it.  It's hard for me to really believe that I am a living breathing character in an RPG when I am forced to walk in a straight line through the woods.  Just my own preference.  That's why I said it worries ME and the jury's out for ME.  I certainly don't assume everyone would have the same opinion.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

This thing worries me too. Instead of a straight line, there is supposed to be an arrow who points the right way to the goal in Fable 2, but still I'm afraid it will not be a free roaming experience.

Left 4 dead - Made by valve - thats all I have to say.

Meaning what? That it's bound to be good?


 Likely.  I mean if you've seen the videos for this game too... I have no doubt it's going to rule.

Left 4 Dead < Metal Gear Solid 4

Gears 2 < Resistance 2

Ninja Gaiden 2 < Haze

Fable 2 < SOCOM Confrontation

Viva Pinata 2 < Little Big Planet

Banjo 3 < Motorstorm 2

Too Human < White Knight Chronicles

Halo Wars < Getaway

 

 


As well as:

- Eight Days

- Dark Mist

- The Agency

- Home

Plus many more in the '09


Left 4 Dead is totally going to be better then MGS4... gameplay wise anwyay. Besides it makes more sense to compare it to MGO. Which it's still going to be better then.  But I mean.... L4D is basically another Team Fortress 2... so...

The rest of your comparisons really make zero sense except for Resistance 2 vs Gears 2. Which.... Gears 1 won multiple game of the year awards... pretty much everyones game of the year award when it came out aside from IGN... and Resistance was an average launch game.

So... biased much?
