Title: Fable 2 (online) multiplayer
Post by: DWARFINATORclock on July 12, 2009, 12:04:58 PM
Am I the only one that thinks it's extremely poorly done? The multiplayer had so much potential but it's so fucking awful.

I joined my friends game and I couldn't even use my own dude. Sure I could use his stats but not his weapons and look. I was also locked to my friend so if we would be walking through town the camera would fuck up all the time and make it difficult to navigate.

Am I doing something wrong or does it just suck?

the game is to easy to play with 2 people anyway. If you have one skilled ranged guy and one melee guy. The ranged guy can pretty much get 99% of the kills before the melee guy is even in striking range.

Also as one of the biggest Fable fans on this forum i would like to say that in retrospect Fable 2 was a huge disappointment.

Hmm, I can see where your coming from, they could have made it alot bigger with more main quests etc, even extended the storyline or gave us something to carry on with after the end. But as a fan of the game, I liked it a fair bit, although the majority of it sucked, I was amazed that they actually brought out the game.

When I first got it, I thought it would be alot like the original Fable. Where you can buy armour and shit like that, but I was fairly disappointed to find that there was only one set of armour in the game, and to get it you had to buy the £50 limited edition (although I didn't, they just sent me an email willy nilly with the code in). The main way to gain money in the game is by working, this means pressing the 'A' button over and over again at certain times, and although enemies drop gold etc, they could have dropped a little more so I could have afforded that sword that I oh so longed for.

With all that said, the ending was terrible. I was expecting a spuer awesome boss fight like in the original Fable, but no, you just shoot the bastard and he falls to his death. It was fucking pathetic. I should have left it a while and bought the game second hand for under £20 instead of buying it for £40. But still, I enjoyed playing through it.

TL;DR
lolk

BACK TO THE POINT THOUGH

The online multiplayer was a complete and utter failure, so I have to solidly agree with you there. They could have made it so much better but they didn't.

Peter Molyneux is an idiot and you people need to stop expecting him to make good games.

Fable II was a very pretty game.. I liked the atmosphere, the music, and it was just bright and lovely.

That being said, IT FUCKING SUCKED.

I mean, I fucking hated fable 1 (Mostly because of its length and world which consisted exclusively of thin narrow paths) but to me, it was better then Fable II.

I agree but I still enjoyed the shit out of it.

There were a lot of really great ideas that weren't fully pulled off right or that depended too much on Peter Molyneux's assumptions of how the player would react and it really let the game down.

However there was also a lot of beautiful level design, unusual characters (especially by game standards) and I found just running around with my dog to be really enjoyable.

Basically, although Peter Molyneux needs to team up with someone stern and focused before he's going to make anything brilliant, I still like seeing his tiny breakthroughs.

I actually liked it, I didn't expect it to be awesome so I wasn't disappointed.

The multiplayer was a huge afterthought and it could have been immensly better done.
BUT I still love the fact that they fucking tried, most games don't even try to make multiplayer/coop but hell they tried and I give them major marks for that; Sadly because it shouldn't be like that.

It didn't look like they tried. If they actually had tried it probably wouldn't have been so awful.

The dog was also pretty useless, the only thing he helps with is finding treasure. Molyneux had said that the dog would fight with you and do a million awesome things, which the dog never did. All the dog did was get scared or find shitty treasure.

I also hated the way you make money, pressing A for 5 hours would get you maybe enough money to buy the sword you wanted. That boring repetitive shit was just plain I'm a edgy teen and shameful.

I loved the way spells worked though, FUCK mana. I don't want to worry about that shit when I cast my awesome spells and thankfully in this game you don't have to.

I loved the game but yes, the multiplayer was poor.

Usually instead of playing through with another person on my friends list, i just run around with their orb; it's basically the same experience just without all the shitty mechanics.

still any multiplayer is better than no multiplayer

aye the dog was wortless, for being someone who really loves dogs it was a drag.
But the money was ridicelously easy to get since smith job was overpowered

oh and undead wife, shame she behaved like every other damn woman... and gave you stds.

I really enjoyed it, although I am aware of it's flaws. The only thing that I really didn't enjoy is how easy it was and as mentioned before, the final boss fight.
I realise the original Fable wasn't exactly an epic struggle, but the fact that you couldn't die at all kind of ruined it for me a bit.

Something similar to the bandit path from the original Fable game would have been god, where you had to fight off the bandits whilst collecting their uniform. And did anyone else notice that half the enemies name's began with a B.
Bandit
Balverine
Bansee
Beetle

I think they could have put alot more effort into thinking of enemies. They could have had dogs that fought your dog...

It was a good game... It has  a lot of glitches and it's not the best game ever (the ending was fucking gay) but I'll be picking up fable 3 when it comes out. I couldn't even use multiplayer, by the time I got the game it was too late, nobody wanted to play it anymore.

I thought he was fucking annoying. Always had to take care of the little shit, and he made the game too easy. Was there any way to get rid of him?

Would it have taken so much effort to just make the dog look evil when you're evil? Like they promised. Instead of turning it black with hardly noticeable red eyes. I want a fucking wolf. That eats villagers on command.

take care of it? what are you on about? the most you have to do ever is give it a potion which is really really easy.

I think some of you need to back out of GAMER MODE a little bit.

Apperntly the second DLC allows you to change your dog.

But i thought the first DLC was pretty lame so im not getting the second one out of spite.

I only have the second one, because everyone told me it was really good(everyone hated the first one though). I haven't played it yet though.
