Fable 2 - Most dissapointing game of the year *May contain spoilers*
#1
Ok i have been anticipating the relase of fable 2 since Fable 1/TLC. And i have to say i'm not happy. They promised so much of this game, and it turned out to be a load of crap.
Why:
The story line - It was sopose to be longer that the previous (not including tlc)... it was much shorter.

Weapons/items/clothng variety - didnt see much variety, the only variety i saw were really auguments and most of those were useless.

Spells- In Fable 1 including TLC there was a total of 18 Spells. OH HAI fable2 8 spells.... You would think they would have more or atleast the same ones as fable 1/tlc like the game is based on how you have the blood of the heros of the old kingdom, you wouldnt think stuff liek that would change. I did however like it how you could choose if you wanted the spell to be directly at one person or the area around you, so atleast you got something right.

The Glitches - I finshed the game in about a day and a half, that includes most side quests, finsing legendary items, alto of the gargoyles ect ect.. And hrough out the entire game i found THAT MANY glitches. Example: After finshing the game there are a few extra quests you can do which are very chalenging (im good with sarcasm, can't you tell?) one of which is called Love Hurts a quest where you bascically resurect Lady Grey (Mayor of BowerStone in Fable 1/TLC). You have to collect 3 of her body parts which are scattered all over Albion. I got all 3 body parts , the last part being her head. When you collect it you are sopse to head back to the graveyard mansion in bowerstone cemetry. But i ran into a closed door with the quest at the beginning asking if i want to accept the quest. I was a bit wtf, but the door had no collision (walk through walls) and i walk down to the basement of the building where im sopose to hand the grave keeper the head but you cant inteact with him. But if u walk back out side you can continouly start the quest again.
I have had simliar problems with a few quests.
Also, things like the XP glitch, Money glitch ect. You rekon you would have learned from the glitched liek that in fable 1 to not make the same mistakes in the fable 2.
E.g The money glitch: All you have to do is buy 1 house or as many as you want, rent it out, Rase ti rent to 100% save your game, go to the dash board, go to your system settings change your clock to 2025 (make sure you are disconnected from xbox live otherwise you can't change your clock), load the game back up, then Woah your a millionair.
I can rant on more about glitches but that will do for now.

After finishing the game - You will get bored of the game, there isnt anything to do but save your son from some hobbes, sleep in a tower and buy stuff.

The difficulty - What diffictuly? my sperm could have beat that game with no trouble. I didnt find any of it chalenging at all.
But what i find pathetic is the end bus LOL, you dont even fight him, you just hold a little music box in front of him and he is defeated. And even after that al he does is talk to you and you can shoot him, and if your feeling lazy you could just sit there like i did expected to get a choice or something to let him live or him dramatically get all powerfull and attack me or soemthing, but no... Reaver will just shoot him.

Don't get me wrong, the game was fun and all, but very disapointing.

Discuss your feelings towards the game here.

I liked it, didn't finish cause I didn't buy it (Play a friends) but it wasn't terrible. The removal of Mana made the game incredibly easy, especially since you can max all the good spells really really quickly and just rage on anything. And of course, with the dog the hardest part about finding treasure was just finding it in bad lighting. I found the lack of well... any real armor annoying. Worth playing though.

I think it's a fun game but I've learned to take anything Peter Molyneux promises with a grain of salt. My expectations weren't high but I'm having fun trying to buy everything. Also, the money and xp glitches can be easily avoided...don't exploit them and play the game.

My wife an dbrother-in-law were disappointed when the guy at GameStop tried to change their minds on buying Fable 2. They were looking forward to hours and hours of roaming/questing and side quests.... Guess all I can say is..

GEARS TWO FOR THE WIN!!
