Fable 2 impressions

Tue Oct 21, 2008 at 09:39:11 PM EST

I just got online and I see almost everyone on my friends list is playing Fable 2.

I almost bought it today...

So what do you think so far?  I'm never really played this type of game so...

Is it just a bunch of dinking around or is there a real story to immerse yourself in?

Is it a must buy?

If so, then why?

  •  well I just played it for 5 hours (none / 0)

    and then I realized it had been 5 hours. Its incredible. I've barely made a dent in the main questline because I'm always getting sidetracked. The combat has been upgraded from the first one, and is now insanely fun. I would definitely recommend buying it.

    There's just some wierd chemical reaction that goes on between the cat food, beer, and glue that makes you feel really sick!

  •  It truly is awesome... (none / 0)

    Not only was I addicted to it instantly, but my roommate too. He's almost farther than I am!

    Also, seeing GearHeads running around with their cute little green orbs is cool too. =P Me and grymm walked past each other, ran in a circle around each other and then he gave each other some gifts.

    I'll post detailed impressions this weekend, but so far? SOOOOO Good.

  •  Damnit (none / 0)

    I might have to go get this sooner than expected!! Sounds like a good time.

  •  There is proximity chat too (none / 0)

    Which lets you talk to people that are near you. So we could get a group of us together and just run around and talk to each other. All the while doing our own single player experience. There are a lot of things to do in this game. Plus the story is actually pretty good as well.

    I'm gonna saw me up some of that sex locust.

  •  Got to play for a bit today (none / 0)

    I have to say I am LOVING this game. I got to play under another gamertag today at our Redmond/Seattle office and Had a damn blast! Two hours went by in what felt like 2 minutes. The dog rocks, I swear I spent like 15 minutes just throwing a damn ball to him!

    And I forgot how much I loved choosing what type of experience points I wanted in order to buff up my character. I need more strength, so I use melee attacks more, I need more agility/quickness, I use more ranged attacks, etc.... I really love how much freedom you have to make your character match your play style.

    One thing that I noticed right away is that when you get to start using magic, you don't just get one spell picked for you to start. When I got access to magic, I had a selection of like 8 spells all very different than the next. I ended up choosing spell called summon dead  or something like that. It was bad ass to be a beginning character and have the ability to summon undead to fight along side me. Most games make you wait quite a while before giving you that kind of freedom, it allows me to really start out playing the style of chracter I want to make, not having to wait in order to use the playstyle I really want. I LOVE IT!
