Fable II Opinions

[D_987]

Wow, you are such a massive twat - she isn't saying that these orphans injected themselves with steroids, is she? The point someone originally made was, the characters look like they're pumped full of steroids. You, like the smart-arse twat that you apparently are, criticised their post, saying that steroids don't give you muscles, and unfortunately were shown up a bit by hannahdodo informing you that you were, in fact, incorrect.
Boo fucking hoo.
Also, learn to write properly yourself before you accuse others' arguments of being 'poorly-worded'.

Intresting...I would consider butting into someone-else's discussion, running your mouth off with no credible source or logic and then leaving to be incredibly "twattish" but, then again, people with no knowledge tend to be the ones who shout the loudest, as that is the only way they will ever be taken seriously (not that I'm taking you seriously, don't worry your post shows such a lack understanding).

Spoiler: Just proof that steroids couldn't exsist its not relevant, but its true

OK, if I really need to spell my comment out to you (and Hannahdonno who this may well be). Someone posted that the young character looked like they have steroids - after my reply they even sent me a message with more detail as to their reasoning behind this - one that, whilst makes sense, is theoretically incorrect. Notice that line - the young characters, so already you've mis-interpreted my argument by claiming they were referring to all a characters... great start.

I was then "shown up" was I...? I don't see how thats true, especially a I had a counter-argument . The fact is, as I explained, the opening characters lived as orphans in a magical Victorian style age. Of course, this lifestyle may have lead to some form of drug-abuse in our world, but this is not our world - its Albion. If we were to assume that steroids did exist in Albion then, we would also have to take into account the time period. During the Victorian age drugs such as Opium or Morphine was wide-spread - steroids were first discovered in the 1930's and were not widespread until the 60's - whilst the Victorian age ended in 1901. So in that sense steroids would not have existed during Fable's set time period.

Why does matter you ask - because the original commenter said "they look like they are on steroids" - they did not say, as they should have done if they did not want this interpreted differently - that the character's bodies were inproportionate. The fact of the matter is - I commented, yes, but the fact is I was not attacking said person - I may have taken their comment too literally based on reflection, but at the same time wording is key to any post - and said post was not worded properly.

Intresting how ironic your post is too...you attack me for criticising someone elses argument and then claim attacking someone appears to make the hostile force a "twat"...

Effectively, steroids would have been an improbability in this time period. Besides which there are many types of steroids, but I assume the original poster was referring to Anabolic steroids. In which case, simply injecting steroids would not significantly increase muscle size - what steroids allow the athlete to do is gain bigger muscles because they are able to continue pushing the tissue for longer. I'd like to see a credible source that say otherwise because I can't find one - whilst it IS a very popular myth.

Wow...what a waste of 3 minutes, not to worry, your post is void, meaningless, forgotten - in short - a waste of space. I could well be wrong about steroids, I'm no expert I am only quoting what I know to be true. I would suggest you leave the forums if your going to continue attacking people in such an idiotic and derogatory manor - over something that does not concern you - especially as you have added no meaningful discussion - you've only forced me to explain points I have already made. Yes this argument in stupid and I think both sides would have left it, unfortuntaly you who, as ironey has shown us, is dubbed "a twat". (I think you should look-up what the word "Twat" is generally used for before throwing around like that) Continued it.

P.S Don't bother replying, I'm not going to read it.

It's a fun game. I just can't believe how Molyneux got away with telling everybody it was "open world" when it quite blatantly isn't.

 

[Trendkill6]

It's ok, I didn't like that the morality feature was so black and white. I mean there was the blatentaly evil thing to do then the good thing. I also would have enjoyed it more if they focused on the RPG elements more. Also abit more variety and stuff to do when you've beaten it. Oh and last complaint I would of enjoyed a final boss =P

But it was good for what it was.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

Fable is like a day at Sea world, it sucks, but you forget how much it sucks when you arnt there. and so once you leave you plan to go again.

That's funny because I feel like playng again even though it was quite disappointing...

 

[SomeBritishDude]

I think it was a bit of a mess really. A combination of interesting to down right retarded ideas clumbed together to make an unfinished mess of a game. It did have it's moments. The combat was pretty fun, it make me laugh once or twice and I though Stephens Fry's part as Reazer was simply genius. But the bad out weigh the good, what with a terrible story, short length, a rediculous amount of bugs, no challenge and quite simply the worst bit of DLC I have ever bought.

I loved Fable TLC. But Fable 2 is pretty damn shite.

 

[Avida]

Loved it, untill about 3/4 of the way through, then i disliked it, then peter went and made me download the 'free version' of knothole which is essentially JUST a cocking sub that will taunt me forever by never taking me anywhere ¬_¬. So now, fuck that shit.

 

[Myfacehurt]

i liked the game; i loved it even more when i got bored and started killing everyone in town instead of doing the missions

 

[Straitjacketeering]

I thought it was fun but then it grated on my nerves, everything everyone else complained about makes sense but what also bugged the hell out of me was that my guy looked like a damn buzz lightyear action figure by the time I made it to the spire, square jaw bald head and fisher price smile, for some reason it caused me to freak the hell out in anger.

 

[D_987]

And yes, she did show you up, I don't think you really need that reiterated

This is the only section I am interested in because quite frankly I'd say your right. I did overlook the use of the simile and take the OP too literally. I accept that, but then again, as I said originally (and you, again ignored) the argument was over, you veered your troll head and tried (consequently succeeding) to troll.

Heres another point though - Pigs can fly...

As I have just said that, it must be true right?

Wrong...and thats exactly the way your treating Hanna's comment - with the same idiocy. She has no credible source or any form of proof that what she says is correct and yet you just beleive her counter-argument to be 100% accurate. I made an original comment, she followed up with a counter-argument, one that was very specific and, in my opinion, wrong. Yet from your point of view I was "shown up". Find me a credible source that claims that to gain large bodies from steroids you can simply inject them directly into your muscles, you won't have to do any training. I searched and couldn't ind any. Hence the counter-argument you just ignored because...well, I assume because it didn't match with what you wanted to see.

This argument was never about Fable after the second post, we were arguing about steroids and their effects.

 

[benjtfell]

Wow i dint know boss fights could be so easy. After a giant dragon in Fable:TLC I though they would have a harder boss the that. But OOOOOOOOOOOOOO well ill just have to make do with one that Steven Fry kills

 

[D_987]

Look - I really can't understand why you're still blathering on about steroids, since I have already made it pretty clear, I think, that it is irrelevant and, perhaps more importantly, that I don't give a fuck.

Also... nice job of not replying.

In other words - I'm wrong but I'm not going to admit it...nice one...

 

[Thunderhorse31]

I loved Fable TLC, so I was really looking forward to this game. I played the hell out of it and got all the achievements as well (which was really easy), but it hindsight it wasn't anything special. Just like everyone else has said, it was short, easy, crap story/bosses, crap multiplayer, crap relationship motiff, crap gold system, etc. etc. etc. And only three trolls? WTF? I mean, they weren't challenging, but at least throw some actual variety in the enemies (more trolls/shards/bosses, etc.) My favorite part of the entire game was the dog.

I'm still like every other moron in my hopefulness that the next Fable ANYTHING will be better, and like a moron I still listen to PM when he promises the next DLC will be substantial and expansive and blah blah blah.

As far as RPGs on the 360 go, it's probably right in the middle, if not a little lower.

 

[Griff]

I liked the way you could develop relationships and I am Stephen Fry's biggest fan, but Oblivion had better gameplay and story

 

[D_987]

Wow - are you even listening to yourself...? Because you sound like a mad-man, seriously. I have said all along that whether steroids do what you say or not is IRRELEVANT. The fact that, after such an exchange, you have still failed to grasp that is, frankly, a bit bewildering.

You don't get it do you, if you had read my post you would have realized I was explaining that your pathetic claim that Hanna's view was somehow right, yet mine was wrong despite the lack of evidence to the contrary bewildering, especially as you repeated the fact I got "shown up" a number of times - in fact you made it one of your Key points. I am trying to explain to you that you are wrong on this point. You would have also realized I had accepted I was wrong with regards to the figure of speech, but then again, you would actually have to read someones post; not skim-read.

Besides which, you think I care if I was wrong or not, there is no need to act like such a troll and throw excessive derogatory comments at people over an interpretation, especially over the Internet. How about you actually read before posting.

I liked the game. Very decent flow of combat, decent difficulty curve (not exactly decent difficulty. I'm one who dislikes games who focus on a challenge, but this is just ridiculous), and basic yet good storyline. I like the flow of accessibility as well, not too fast, not too slow.


But what I hate is the level design, and AI waypoint methods. Especially for the dog. He's always getting stuck, going the wrong way, or choosing a really bad waypoint web. If there's one thing I ever want them to update in the game it's the dogs waypoint system. It's so damned annoying.

As for the bad level design, a huge case is in Fairfax gardens. Two examples are vaulting into one of the statues from the grassy areas, and when you open the final demon door, you can walk through the portal (for those who haven't played, you enter areas by holding the A button. All other demon door portals were unpassable in player clipping terms). Behind you you see the generic uncolored walls of default level making.

And I wish there were more end-game decisions, and ones that actually made you think instead of automatically choosing the one that almost everyone picks.

 

[D_987]

Yes, thanks, but the thing is that I never CARED who was right about the steroids. Jesus Christ, I was criticising you for your PEDANTRY, not your poor knowledge of steroids, which I honestly do not give a toss about.

Oh I see, your trolling right?

I mean, nobody could really be this stupid, as to not read someone elses post - my point was I DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT IT seriously, get it through your skull, I admitted about 3 replies ago you were right about my wrongful interpretation; although it was still open to interpretation. I went on to explain that you were wrong due to other points in your idiotic original post which I shan't bother gong over here because I'd just be repeating my self.

Learn to read troll.

My major complaint about the game is the balance issues. The game is plagued with them.

Let's say you want to specialize in melee combat. Things will go well for you throughout most of the game. However there will be times in the game in which this melee specialization will get you screwed over. Enemies such as trolls can't be damaged at all with melee attacks so you can't fight them. However there will be times in the main story in which you have to fight trolls. So get ready for a long and tedious fight because you didn't specialize in ranged. The same problem applies to the end boss. So you're pretty much screwed.

Now say you want to specialize in magic. At the beginning of the game you will be weak as almost none of the magic spells do any noticeable damage before you upgrade them. Combine that with the waves of enemies that only focus on melee attacks and you're going to take damage. A lot of damage. However once you get a spell like shock up to level 4 or 5 you become overpowered. Charged area of effect spells can kill dozens of enemies in one blow. You can kill so many enemies at once that the console suffers from frame rate issues. All challenge leaves the game as now you can solve any problem by holding down the cast magic button.

Ranged is probably the most balanced. However it to becomes unbalanced once you acquire the ability to target body parts. Upon doing so you learn that head shots down any enemy in about 2 hits. Combine this with your quick firing rate and you can take out any enemy with relative ease. So once again all challenge has left the game.

An abusive relation ship is the best way to describe it. Sure there are some enjoyable bits, you do hope for things to get better but they never do. Just how it works out. Sure it was fun, and had some interesting bits, but overall the first one was much better then the second one.

 

[Instant K4rma]

Though its generally bad mouthed, I thought it was above average. I had fun with it, but my ONLY complaint was the awful co-op.
