Fable II
 
Sorry if I am jumping the gun a little bit since it doesn't come out until tomorrow but who is getting this?

UncleGramps 10-20-08 04:22 PM

My copy shipped from Gamefly today. I'd buy it if there weren't so many damned games coming out in the next few weeks. A rental will have to do for now unless the Keep It price is low enough.

ziggen 10-20-08 04:44 PM

I'll be getting it, I liked the first one and am very hopefully there isn't just two major parts that decide if you're good or bad. The co-op sounds like it will be really fun so i can't wait to try it out.

Getting good reviews so far on GameRankings.

JasonF 10-20-08 04:53 PM

I preordered it and I've already racked up a jillion dollars in Pub Games. But I'm not sure how much time I'll have to play over the next couple of weeks since I'm busy at work, and I know Fallout is going to suck up any free time I have once that comes out. So it may be a few months before I really dig into this.

flashburn 10-20-08 05:13 PM

Preordered this from Amazon.com after that $10 off deal (plus the old Bill Me Later coupon). I should be getting this tomorrow from them, I can't wait. It will provide a good change of pace after getting the shit scared out of me constantly while playing Dead Space. :lol:

Getting my copy at midnight...I took tomorrow off to dive right into the game.

Yep. Got my OXM in the mail today and they gave it a 9.5!

I plan on visiting TRU tomorrow to get rid of my first placeholder.

aktick 10-20-08 06:17 PM

IGN gave it an 8.8 (though IGN UK gave it a 9.5 I think), saying the co-op was flawed and not really well done, but the single player part of things was good.

I had lots of credit to Gamestop, so pre-ordered this.

HotThang 10-20-08 06:30 PM

Amazon should have mine delivered tomorrow. I need to go and make more money in the Pub! I don't quite have a jillion yet! ;-)

Should mention that the same person gave GTA4 a 10, just to put their scoring into perspective.

Cool. That means I should like it then.

My copy will be here tomorrow from Amazon. I ended up with a couple hundred thou in Pub Games, but I used the glitch. I wonder what will happen :lol:

Superman07 10-21-08 11:25 AM

The only games I have for 360 are Dark Agent (forget the exact name, FPS bought at launch) and GTAIV. I'm very tempted to pick this up - especially with CC's $15 iTunes GC offer - but I'm affraid it will underperform like Fable 1. While it was fun to play, in a Zelda like way, it didn't deliver on the good/evil, limitless outcomes, every action has an effect, etc. Any feedback on how this one fairs in that regard?

Liver&Onions 10-21-08 11:57 AM

I haven't read all these yet - but things are sounding good.

So here's the big question : Is online co-op update live today as promised?

spainlinx0 10-21-08 02:21 PM

I actually enjoyed the first one, after getting over the immense overpromises. Hopefully you don't age so damn fast, and there really are consequences for actions more than waving a decapitated head around.

Mok 10-21-08 02:41 PM

There is cool chicken kicking game on xbox.com where you can get 500gold.

I'm still bitter about overpromises.

I hope to rent this at some point because i heard the stuff with the dog is fabulous.

From what I have heard, yes it is. I don't plan on playing online, so I am not really concerned with it.

scarface983 10-21-08 04:02 PM

i just got it today, ill play it later when i get home

bunkaroo 10-21-08 04:43 PM

Wasn't planning on getting this but saw it for 54.99 at Fry's and bit. I almost bought an Xbox way back when to play the first one. The reviews swayed me for this one. If I can pull myself away from Rb2 I may try it tonight.

Supermallet 10-21-08 05:18 PM

Got mine today. Trying to decide if I want to play it when I get home or watch From Russia With Love on Blu-ray.

nickdawgy 10-21-08 08:36 PM

I played for an hour, and I like it. The LE content is great. The dog is amazing. He tells you where chests are and can smell items that are buried nearby.

He ended up finding a condom for me :lol:
