Yes, I know this is everyone's reaction right now, but I'm not really planning on buying Fable 2.

Even though this isn't 100% official as of right now, I won't be buying Fable 2 because I'm extremely low on money and there's 2 other games which I'm looking forward to more, which is Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3. And the big problem is, I only have $30 right now and I simply can't afford enough to buy Fable 2 along with everything else.

I went broke after I pre-ordered Gears 2 a few weeks ago, so that's when this whole problem started. I plan on trading in my PSP and one of my 360 games to get Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3, but if I'm lucky, I might be able to sell my DS on ebay and luckily, I might end up with enough money to get Fable 2 at the end. But this seems unlikely right now, unfortunately.

Fallout 3 I've been looking forward to for a couple of years now, and Far Cry 2's map editor, along with single-player of 40-80 hours in length, and nice multiplayer is irresistable in my own eyes.

Call my decision flawed if you like, but I most likely won't get Fable 2...at launch at least.

But is there anyone here who also isn't getting Fable 2? Vote in the poll and post your response in your reply.

it all depends on how i like the game, as i'm a gamefly member, if it's addictive i'll buy it (along with fallout 3). i don't see the point in buying a game thats say, 15 hours long, without great online play, but games such as these that take up massive amounts of time, i'd be willing to buy.

I'm sorry about your financial situation

I hope in the future you're able to afford the games you want and I also hope the ones you choose are worth the money you spend.

Why would you not get Fable 2? I'm look at what some magazines have to say first, but there is a 90% chance I'm getting it.

Fable is a weak rpg.Basically something bad happens to you as a kid.So you go into an accademy or something simular to where you grow up and have tasks.For each task you can either come out good or bad.Based on which you choose you get good and evil points.The more good(light) you are you start to glow and get a halo, the more evil, you have flies swarm you, and you grow horns.

There is virutally no AI.Basically in any battle weather you face 1 or 100 opponents at a time, they will just stand and circle you, and every 20 min or so they might throw in a single hit.It's a very linear game.As for the world/moving it isnt wide and open like Marrowind (which is boring game to me. but has open world) or world of warcraft.It's closed for exmaple, you have this small section of the game where you enter, and you have environment like a wall around you almost, so it feels like you are going through a hall way, and at the end, you move through the little point and it loads up another section piece of area that looks completely different from the one previous.

You're fighting is pretty weak.Say you have a down and side slash as your attack then you have a hanfull of abilities for the game at your disposal.

This game has some side stuff you can do, but none of it very fun or eventful.So basically this game has a weak story, dorky world, horrible AI.So if you are debating to get this game I would suggest this to you if you enjoy just walking around a narrow world, killing things with easeand basically just doing nothing.The quests/items/weapons/fighting/spells all uneventful.It really feels like a game made for little kids, anyone older it just feels like a waste of time.

for me its more the issue of learning more about the game than anything else, especially in a time of sagging economies games must make their case to me as an individual rather than me going by reviews some of the images show u as being a demon however im unsure if this is a metaphorical reference to you or something you can actually change into, if you can actually become a demon/devil whatever it was then it definitely perks my interest more ive always been a bigger fan of the villans and evil (yes i played darkness and enjoyed it muchly)

try renting the first one. it will be kinda like that.

and BTW, if you dont have the $$$ then yeah of course you wont buy it. You can always RENT it. Thats what i'll probably do. If its good, then I'll wait and buy it later for a decent price. BRAND NEW 360 games are a bit expensive if u ask me.

Its not worth it to trade your ds for fable 2. If thats the only way I can get fable 2, I wont purchase it either.

Fable 2 looks interesting, but I'll need to read some good reviews b4 purchasing that game. Fable 1 was too short, and if Fable 2 follow in those footsteps, its not worth 60. I'd rather get it when its 30.

With Fallout 3 on the horizon, I doubt very much I could be bothered with this- I wasn't a massive fan of the extremely linear first game (RPGS should have a degree of freedom besides being able to decorate your house I feel.) and Fallout is going to rock my world, so I don't think so.

Besides I have to play Warhammer sometimes! :p

Love how most people are voting for the 'Fable 2 = GOTY' choice because they dont have an alternative choice. Fable 1 wasnt that amazing but it was original and they spend 4 years on this sequel so it's going to be atleast good and good + original makes a great game.

Fable is a weak rpg.Basically something bad happens to you as a kid.So you go into an accademy or something simular to where you grow up and have tasks.For each task you can either come out good or bad.Based on which you choose you get good and evil points.The more good(light) you are you start to glow and get a halo, the more evil, you have flies swarm you, and you grow horns.

There is virutally no AI.Basically in any battle weather you face 1 or 100 opponents at a time, they will just stand and circle you, and every 20 min or so they might throw in a single hit.It's a very linear game.As for the world/moving it isnt wide and open like Marrowind (which is boring game to me. but has open world) or world of warcraft.It's closed for exmaple, you have this small section of the game where you enter, and you have environment like a wall around you almost, so it feels like you are going through a hall way, and at the end, you move through the little point and it loads up another section piece of area that looks completely different from the one previous.

You're fighting is pretty weak.Say you have a down and side slash as your attack then you have a hanfull of abilities for the game at your disposal.

Sir it appears you have described the worst stuff of FABLE 1 not part 2 the sequel where much of this has already been addressed as being fixed.
