cool, Fable 2 will be aces, only RPG ive ever completed is Fable, normally i find RPGs incredibly boring, but Fable was very good.

I disagree with WoW. Fable was not a groundbreaker, but at the time it wasn't a bad game. It actually kept me interested the whole way through.

It certainly had untapped potential though. I will pick up Fable 2 and give it a play, despite the fact that it will probably be only above average.

I play all games average - perfect. It's the "bad" category that I avoid like plague. I think I have more fun because of it, as well. Even below-average games are actually way better than anything else I could be doing, so what the hell, ya know, lol?

this might sound a bit fanboy of me, just like pretty much all my posts but, doesn't fable seem sort of like a copy of the zelda franchise?. i am referring to the first fable only. the second is ALOT different from the first and not in any way like the zelda series. there are just alot of similarities, i cant go into much detail because the only time ive played it is at my cousins house but in the few times i played all i could think is "man, now i feel like playing ocarina of time."does anybody else feel this way?

i think it looks alot like fable 1 case

Thats because Fable 1 wasn't really a RPG and I don't think Fable 2 will be. Of course that doesn't make it a bad game I'm really looking forward to Fable 2 because 1 (like all PM games...) had some interessting ideas but sadly a rather poor realization.

Topic:

Boxart looks ok because it reminds me of Part 1. Someone who played Part 1 will most likely recognize it as Fable.

they'll also probably recognize it by the big "FABLE" on it. ;)

I could have tolerated its pathetic story if the combat was fun and engaging.

I could have tolerated its boring and repetitive combat if the level up system didn't insist upon making you a 50+ year old to be really powerful.

I could even tolerated the level-up system if the story had been interesting.

Sadly, it didn't work out well. I can't fix the stupid premise of a Heroes Guild. I can't fix the repetitive combat. The only thing I could fix was the the level-up/aging part which still leaves too much of the game needing work.

And that's not even getting into my grumbling about the fact that enemy AI is beyond insulting in rescue quests. Gee, let's have 6 guards all run around you to go after the guy you're trying to rescue and let's also have this guy die in 3 hits. Swell.

Mediocrity would be a compliment for Fable TLC.

Starcraft is going to have fun with this thread (and specifically WoW) when he comes back.

But I have to agree with you. It was generic to me. for all the reasons you listed above.

I like it. Looks good.

Fable was a decent game that had some fun parts. Really though, it's not all that special.

I'll buy the second game based on the decent experience from the first but I'm not holding my breath in anticipation of this game.
