Now that the dust has settled and decomposed, was Fable 2 really all that good?
Best in the series
>>738471938It was pretty neat, but kinda shallow.Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle type deal.
>>738471938Yes. 3 is the one that is fucking garbage. I'd play 2 again but I still think the original Fable is the best.
No it was trash. I still remember how my jaw dropped during the final boss, what a fucking joke.
>>738471938i don't remember, but i'm playing it in 4k on xenia right now.
>>738471938It's like how in the moment you think KOTOR II or Platinum has completely blown KOTOR or Emerald out of the water, but then as you get older you start to notice the flaws more and temper your perspective, maybe even realizing the previous game is superior.I'm not saying Fable is necessarily better, but you've got the nerfed magic system and lower weapon variety and worse story conclusion bogging down all the other amazing things you experience in Fable II if you're being honest with yourself, no matter how mindblowing playing it originally was.Like, I had to quit this game (Platinum edition) because I beat all the side content first before finishing the main content, but I was a goody two shoes and let my dog die which then made it impossible to do the scraps of content left to engage with, effectively bricking the save. Otherwise, I could have squeezed out more fun. That choice just actively killed the game and honestly shouldn't have been in then.
>>738472018The economic mechanics of Fable II are superior to Fable's.
I dont think dust decompose.
>>738473018>but you've got the nerfed magic systemThe magic in Fable 1 is underrated af.
>>738471938the guild theme gives me an insane sense of nostalgia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI0BUr5ux-g
>>738471938I had fun with it.
>>738471980not saying much. In hindsight, the series wasnt all that good. It felt like a half asses medieval GTA
It was alrightI remember when going for all the collectibles you had to get dolls or something? One of them was a preorder bonus or something, whatever it was it was something that stuck out to me as of you didn't get quickly when the game was fresh you would have a hard time ever getting it
Molyneux is the biggest hack from in the industry, by a country mile
>>738471938Yes. Yes it was/is.
>>738474139Remember his cube game? lmao
>>738474139The stuff he was promising for the original Syndicate was just insane given the limitations of the time. But when you're a kid your imagination runs wild and Molyneux knew how to exploit that.
it was unacceptably short
>>738474139All he wanted was to plant an acorn
i did two weeks work experience as an alpha tester for lionhead in 2004. I tested fable lost chapters, b&w2 multiplayer that never got released, b.c some caveman game fighting dinosaurs that also got cancelled and the movies. i only spoke to peter a couple times and complained that there was no turtle in B&W2. first time I saw him he was talking to some woman about how his balls felt very heavy today.
>>738473072>>738473192Good, can we please tardwrangle the people who made them into the next elder scrolls, thanks
>>738471938Easily the best Fable game for whatever that is worth.
>>738471938Fable III really gets too much hate. The setting is far better, the gameplay is better, it's all better.The only major flaws are microtransactions (you won't even know these exist if you play offline) and that you need foresight to know how to get the good ending.
>>738473192How so? I've played TLC a few times over and I just remember it just being alignment colourswaps.
>>738476912The weapons system is the worst of the 3. the magic system is the worst of the 3, the leveling system is the worst of the 3, having to go into your special magical hideaway to do anything because Molyneux thought menus were lame is the worst of the 3, and the story is lame as fuck.
>>738477753Its just fun.
