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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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
