Fable 2
« on: November 11, 2008, 01:38:32 am »
Is noone annoyed by the unbearable loading times of that game? Those completely destroy the game for me. On several missions I have spent more time waiting for the world sections to load than actually playing  >:(

Also, the minigames are shit. Pressing A when a moving cursor is over a highlighted section for a hundred of times is just boring (wood chopping, blacksmithing). The game master pub games = pressing A and waiting for the RNG (spinning box, not having found the others yet).

I enjoy the combat, though it's trivial. But it's pretty action. Unfortunately apart from that the game seems to drag on and on, everything is so slow... Again I blame loading times. The menu is slow and an oldschool mess. Even characters talk slowly cause they seem to pause between every sentence while the voice sample gets loaded from the DVD.

So far I'm disappointed, I hope the story makes up for it.

I'm afraid the story isn't amazing either...

Yeah, it was a bit disappointing. I thought it was a lot of fun, and enjoyable.

But the loading was ridiculous. The lag on opening the menu... the constant grinding on the DVD... Yeah, it got to me. I was spoilt by playing the PC version of Fable 1... perhaps should've waited on a possible PC version of Fable 2!

But yeah... was fun. The dialogue was great. Very pretty too.
Now I run a tech website.

Ah, and I liked the family/kids thing (which you might've not done yet...)

And owning buildings/shops!

I married the chick from the ghost quests and dumped her in my gypsie wagon. After she got pregnant, fat and started to annoy I brought her to my friend in the shadow cathedral. Problem solved. Unfortunately they took away my son so I couldn't show him the spinning wheel of misfortune, too.  >:(

Anyway all that marry/kids stuff is kind of pointless and unrewarding as it's so ridiculous easy:

while (target.happy not max)
    do dance;
marry target;

Awesome system...

The game is pretty in daylight, however nighttime looks quite drab to me. And somehow I always end up playing in nighttime with the fast day/night cycle and silly "this route takes 78 hours to travel lol".

One of the more amusing things is if you have like 3 husbands/wives in one place and they argue about it, you can just dance and they'll totally forget your infidelity. If only people knew that in the real world.

I didn't try yet...

I am pretty sure you can get married.

I assume you can't have kids with another guy though, or girl.

2 girls should be able to get a sperm donor. Otherwise it would be COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC.

I'm enjoying the game a lot :P. True, the minigames are quite crap, but the pub games I've tried so far have been quite fun. Never thought about the loading times though. Maybe I got used to long loading times by playing through The Witcher before they patcehd it..
