Poll: Fable 2 Expectations

[ccesarano]

Has no one already heard that Pete is keeping his mouth shut tightly this time? Everything he has mentioned has been shown in video form. He naturally has a grandiose way of putting it, but everything I've seen has me excited for it. Then again, when I heard the hype for Fable, I said "Peter Molyneux is saying this? If it has 1/5th of those features I'll be happy". It did, and I was very happy. With Fable 2, I've watched video, not read his statements, and I'm feeling all giddy.

Also, on the subject of love being an underlying theme, I think Molyneux is attempting to play into the emotions of gamers a little bit too much. I will likely be one of the few that can catch and understand what he is trying to do, but most people will think "so, wait, why can't I kill the dog? I wanna kill the dog!". Peter Molyneux doesn't realize he is a Dungeon Master in a D&D game trying to tell an epic, tragic, heart-wrenching and emotional tale to a bunch of people that just want to play Diablo on paper.

Fable loves promising on the combat system and I really want to have a dog that has its own mind. How awesome is that? Not needing to command it with a button or anything, I think thats innovation at its best.

I want the dog. :l

Hopefully Fable 2 is good. That'll be another game to add to my RPG section. Innovation is something I wouldn't expect, but a lot of successful games have no innovation, so I wouldn't worry.

Btw, Molyneux is way too passionate. They should hire someone else or something. I swear, the things he says are going to punch him in the face one day.

personally i can't wait for Fable 2. The only thing i didn't like about Fable was the complete irrelevance of killing Whisper. Either way you wouldn't see her again. So why not just kill her and use the bonus gold to buy back the "goodness" you lost? Other than that, pretty awesome game.

i liked fable... and i look forward to fable 2, i just hope that you dont age as quickly, or become as horifically scarred as in fable, so ugly...

actually i look at it like this. fable was a great game with a pretty descent amount of replayability. it *wasn't* the best fucking game ever made, but still a fun game as long as you put all the shit that Molyneux promised out of your mind.

and he even corrected the mistake in an interview for "fable 2" saying basically... hey, i ran my fucking mouth and promised things that we couldn't implement soon enough before the deadline, and for that i'm sorry

(this is a quote by the way)


i think we need more passionate people that actually give a shit what they're giving us as far as entertainment. that's the problem with hollywood with remake, after remake, after fucking remake. they just don't give a fuck, and they think we're stupid and won't know any better... !...

well it doesnt really matter cause it doesnt affect your skill or anything at all, not that i noticed anyway, it was just ugly...

I have never played the first fable and I don't expect anything special from the new one coming out. :/

that was like perfectly stated.Molyneux is good,and he makes great games,but i think the development team needs to shut him the hell up so ppl like the game for what it is,and dont hate it because it has only half the things promised.

Yeah i agree, i played fable without hearing any of the glory he offered and found it a great game. then after i completed it, i heard what there could have been, and found myself disappointed

Peter Molyneux needs to shut up, like most of the time. Fable was an ok rpg but what was expected made me not buy it right away. I ended up waiting for bargain price. If Fable 2 isnt as good as Molyneux says it is im going to avoid lionhead studios entirely
