Fable 2: Meets the hype or falls in with the previous??

So Yeah, I've been looking at fable 2 videos with the creator, and I've reserved the game. My only fears are that once again, it's all a charade. Sure Fable was fun for what it was, but we were promised soo much more. I'm really looking forward to Fable 2, are you? and what do you think about everything it promises?

Like I've said in some past thread, the story is ruined for me. I read some previews from IGN about it a while ago, and they tell you something that happens in the story. Completely ruined it for me. I'll probably just rent it.

i think i've said it before as well but people that complain that Fable didn't meet expectations are fucking idiots, so what if you couldn't plant a tree or get a tan, it'd be a shitty gimmick and i'm glad they didn't waste disk space on that and instead made a great game out of what they had

anyone that can't look past some hackneyed ideas the developers realised wouldn't be possible to implement and see that it was a genuinely good game need to get a grip

Fable 2 is not shipping with Online Co-Op mode. The one part of the game that was selling it to the people who weren't already die-hard fans of the first one.

However Microsoft has said that they plan to release it in a content patch via XBL within a week of it's release... I don't see why they can't just delay the game a week.

I played this game at PAX and while it was pretty fun the game was ugly as sin.  It might have been based on the 2007 E3 demo (it looked a lot like it) but vanilla Fable on the Xbox looked better.

I will say that co-op was fun.  You can set restrictions for your friend but at the least restricted level he can come to your world at any point and literally wreck the place.  There's no "character A has to be next to character B to continue" that's found in most co-op games.

This game is going to be amazing. I really can't wait for it. The world is huge and the options are amazing. Everything you do has an impact on the world. And after watching the Fable 2 special on G4 last night, my excitement skyrocketed. The dog will be one of the best parts, if not the best part. He can help you fight, but only if you train him to do so. That is so damn cool.

I really love the way the game looks based on the videos and screenshots that I've seen. They weren't trying to make it realistic or anything like that. They were trying to stay true to the style of the first one, just with way better graphics. The accomplished that task with flying colors.
