i think fable 2 will have a good shot at becoming rpg of the year.

If FFXIII doesn't make it out this year, I think Fable 2 is a shoe-in.  Especially after Fallout 3 seems to have gone to hell on a fast train.

 

EXPLAIN YOURSELF!!!

Lol.  Insofar as it is departing heavily from the series roots.  It is also looking like it will be significantly censored compared to the previous two titles.

Of course I still think it will be a good title in its own right, but hardcore fallout lovers reviewing the title and voting in the GotY awards won't feel the same.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

- Removing all the mature themes such as: xenophoby, racism, sex, slavery, child-killing, prostitution, drug addiction. (Basically a 'Teen-Rated' Fallout)

- Worsening the Dialogue scheme. That is the worst they could have done. Instead of the character having unique dialogue options based on your intelligence, knowledge and skill; now on Fallout 3 every character will have the EXACT SAME DIALOGUES, and the Intelligence only affects what's your success percentage on your dialogues, it doesn't changes the dialogues options. This means even if your char has the lowest intellect, the options will still be the same...

For comparison, In Fallout 1&2 if your character had low intellect it could only grunt and growl to other people because you were a complete retarded. So much fun, some of the NPC's even took pity on you and gave you stuff, while most looked at you with contempt and didn't gave a crap about you for being retarded. You won't see this in Fallout 3.

- Bethesda has lack of artistic and design talent. Which means the famous writing of Fallout 1&2 most likely won't be present in Fallout 3... that totally sucks. The art of FO3's Super Mutatns are generic, and do not possess the artstyle of the hunchback mutants that were envisioned in the 50's.

Not only that, Bethesda might give Fallout 3 the Oblivion treatment, and just make half-assed quests. Fallout is a series that's known for having unique content as a strong point: every quest in Fallout 1&2 is unique and awesome in it's own way, while Oblivion's quests are... crap.

 



Oblivion was awesome and so I can only assume that Fallout 3 will be equally, if not more, awesome. I never played the original Fallouts. I was too busy with the Baldurs Gates.



Fable 1 was very fun. Fable 2 should really be able to improve on that.

I think it's too early to be talking shit about Fallout 3 (considering only a small group of people at Bethesda have played it). We shall return to this when everyone has had a chance to play.



Dragon Age yeah but Space Seige??? not a chance. Besides Dragon age is still virtually vaporware. Very few screenies out for it and I've not seen any video. Q1 2009 seems very optimistic for this title we should have seen more by now.

Thas a shame.  You missed a pair of real gems that still hold up well today. Oblivion and the original Fallouts have NOTHING in common. Its almost a garantee that fallout fans will be disapointed. I'm giving it a chance but I dont have much hope when comparing Fallout the type of RPGs Bethesda usually produces.

OT Fable 2 seems to be shaping up to be a much better game than its predecessor.



damn,

I was hoping for over 372 000

we'll see if this is enough

Space Siege won't have the same budget as Fable 2, but it is being developed by Gas Powered Games, known for Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 (both better than Fable 1) and headed by Chris Tailor. GPG has much more experience at making ARPGs than Molineux, whom even with a big budget couldn't deliver Fable 1 from what it was promised.

 



Is fable 2 going to come to pc aswell because i really dont want to spend like nearly 200 pounds just to play this one game



Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 were just 3D Diablo rip offs.
