killroy Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 lol @ the pic. I've got lots in bandit camps....and strangely there are no women around...twisted goons Anyways, first of all Fable 2 is a great game from what i've played...amazing stuff all around...dog well implemented...well refined gameplay and that one button combat thing is actually better than i expected, though i did find that i was dying a lot while using only melee. I have died like 6 times in all...lots of bloody scars on the face. The quests are better, feel as if the story is pushing somewhere... but one part of fable 2 which has completely pissed me off is the much talked about co-op...one of the worst co-op...if not THE worst co-op ever implemented in a game. The camera is like a hooker past her prime, roaming around pointlessly when the action is completely out of her focus. Plus its got the irritating 8 bit contra waterfall syndrome of getting stuck if the players are not close enough...cmon Fable 2 is a game all about exploring and discoveries...here I found myself getting stuck on an invisible barrier just of the reach of an enemy who snarls at me and flings poo on my face while my henchman is busy opening boxes and sh*t... The only way to get a playable medium was to make sure my partner was running just beside me like a shadow...and combat is a bloody nightmare...i died 2 times in co-op when I couldnt even see my character. They talked so much about it, but its absolutely crap. I dont know much about the online co-op but I hope its better...but when it comes to offline co-op...huge FAIL Lionhead...HUGE HUGE FAIL...

godspeed4476 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Really agree on the Camera(Co-op) i agree too..........but i was never looking forward to play co-op anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killroy Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Well neither was I, but if its there...then I did have some expectations. You are one of Microsoft's flagship titles and you put in something half baked...actually quarter baked into the game...that is not acceptable. Listen to this, "SHARE THE EXPERIENCE(with the wall that is blocking your view): Dynamic co-op play(so dynamic that you cannot see it) allows friends and family (who will start cussing soon) to join your game at any time (as an anonymous henchman...even Bourne had SOME identity) and share your world (share while forced to being tethered to each other like siamese twins)." Now without that brackets that above line at the back of your Fable 2 box sounds pretty neat and gets people excited to play it with you...but soon becomes a swearing contest... Its really sad that in such a good game they had to show an ugly, unpolished facet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 But how can you stay angry at it when your dog runs ahead, stops and barks when he sniffs danger :`( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Alright, I bought Castle Fairfax for a cool mil and unlocked this massive dungeon that ended in another take it or leave it choice :/ There is this gender changing potion in front of me, which will evaporate if I leave it unused and exit the dungeon. It can't be stored and/or sold. Buying the castle also gives you regenerating health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godspeed4476 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Buying the castle also gives you regenerating health so does garth's and reaver's mansion........... btw reaver's mansion gives u stuff and gold coins worth cool 5000 buks or more every other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 No. Neither of them give you regenerative heath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godspeed4476 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 No. Neither of them give you regenerative heath! AFAIK it does.......i am preety much sure abt garth castle.........so sure tht i bet pusy's life on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 No, the only thing you get from purchasing Garth's place is the Chesty quest. Castle Fairfax is the only property with regenerative health mentioned in the property description, which is why it is the most expensive. And by regenerative health, I'm referring to idling and recovering health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by regenerative health, I'm referring to idling and recovering health. not the top floor.........on the 1st floor there is a bed...........sleep on it and u get regenrative health, fame and 1 other bonus(which i forgot)........ and i think reavers castle aslo gives u regenrative health bonus........ i won the bet but i still want pushy to commit suicide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JACKAL Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Has anyone opened any demonic door yet?? i tried but its too tough, im talking bout the one near bower lake which asks u to enact what it is reciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baba dench Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 yep .. you need to perform certain expressions in order to open the door , some of the expressions can be bought from the bowers book store while others you unlock as you play the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Can I just say I love this game. I think I am about 30% done and its fantastic. I love the dog and the breadcrumbs trail. Stroke of genius both of them. The first glimpse of the lush fields of Oakwood was one of my favourate graphical moments of this gen, (like Fable 1) the game may not be the best looking one on the console but its the most beautifull one by far. Just one question once I finish the main story can I keep on playing and doing some of the side missions after that or is the game truly over once the main story ends like Fable 1?

baba dench Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 well after the main mission .. there are some side quests , jobs that you can take , property that you can buy - some imp properties like the brightwood tower , cemmetry mansion etc.. open up new side quests after purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
