Fable 2

[bakes0310]

God damn it! I was certain that I was going to pass on this one but I have caved in after watching this video: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41725.html

This is going to be one expensive month... £154 worth of games in my preorder list

Thats a lot of preorders
Then again ive got a lot of preorders, i dont want to add it up else itll scare me.
Ive got the following on preorder:
fable 2
fallout 3
dead space
farcry 2

And now im thinking about red alert 2

not long now! US release on Tuesday followed by the UK on Friday.

Still no sign of a review from any of the big sites though?? Strange as dead space has the same release date and was reviewed last week! bah

Embargo is 2PM tomorrow afternoon. Whether that's the same for EVERY site, I'm not sure. It's possible maybe Eurogamer have wangled an earlier embargo lift, but 2PM tomorrow should be the time to check!

A few people on my friends list are playing this...

I'll need to wait till next Monday for mine to arrive as well. Cannot wait.

Street date in US was broken last week anyway, a lot of the smaller stores begun selling it and one online retailer over there begun dispatching last week as well. I was hoping some of our retailers were willing to join in but lets face it no chance over here.

I was wondering why it seems to be full of American kids with squeaky voices when you have the orb mode turned on

Next friday can't come any quicker!

Anyone think it's worth me pre ordering and hoping for a Thursday delivery? Not sure which sites are the best at getting pre orders out early

 

[TerryWogan]

Dunno, but it's definitely worth buying either way

i cant remember the story from the first one... i cba to replay it - there a wiki or something with a quick run down in prep for number 2?

 

[Noel Gallagher]

I hope they don't use retarded names again e.g Whisper, Thunder.. wtf was that about?

Though apart from setting I don't know if the games are linked?

 

[McDaniel]

hopefully they aren't

 

[TerryWogan]

Fable 2 is 500 years later. And as far as I can tell, not really linked. I never played the first but this is all making sense to me.

 

[Shamikebab]

Yeah the only links are the location afaik, so you can see how towns have progressed and stuff.

Peter said it's not a sequel, but an whole new adventure.

In the same world, 500 years later. Can't wait

 

[Noel Gallagher]

But it doesn't carry on the story from first.

Nope, Just set in the same world.

 

[Scratchy]

Gutted I can't find the CE anywhere, I didn't realise it had extra content, I thought it would just be a book or something, I want the extra dungeon

Just have to wait for it to become DLC I guess

 

[Scratchy]

The stories about people giving away millions because of the pub game glitch is annoying, especially as there is no way of not accepting items and cash off people if you have orbs on.

Look forward to it
