F*CKING YES!!!!!!!

DOWNLOADING ASAP

it'l keep me occupide till Killzone 2 :D

[BLUR111]

I thought you hated Xbox live...

[Eiffel]

Its Fable II, it shouldn't matter if its on Xbox Live its a great game with great DLC.

Celt is not entirely Anti-Xbox. I've seen him show some compasion for its games in a few of his comments. Which makes me respect him more than most sony fanboys on this site.

[TheBrit]

It wont keep you occupied for long then. Apparently if you rush through it you will be done in 2 hours. If you take time and explore everything you may get 4 hours out of it.

[Magic_The_Celt]

^Lmao fair enough, iv always said im not a fanboy, i just tend to bash the 360 more for sh*ts and giggles, and i hope you all remember its Ali_The_Brit ;)

Umm, no it's not. The free one is there so you can play coop with your friend who has the premium. So you can't play coop with someone who has the dlc if you don't have either of versions. I think the free one will get you some new items though but not the quests and stuff...

[rroded]

shouldnt they fix the game first?

[IcarusOne]

What about Fable 2 is broken?

[ChampIDC]

The major one was the bug with that one monk quest, but they did fix that recently.

[fatam69]

Sweet been waiting for some Fable DLC since launch.
Hopefully this doesn't disappoint.

[I_LOVE_MYSELF]

Bah the game disappointed me... I wont be buying the DLC... Heck I havent even finished the game...

How interesting...

[Faztkiller]

I did beat it but traded it in right after huge letdown it and gears 2

[Eiffel]

Because it wasn't on the PS3 right?

[Faztkiller]

no because i think it sucked

[die_fiend]

Ur wrong then. If you thought fable or Gears sucked then you don't like good games and ur opinion is therefore invalid

[Faztkiller]

so because i dont like same games as u means i dont know whats good
tell me this
Do u like Cod 4?
Do u like Halo 3?
Do u like R2?
Do u like fallout 3?
Do u like Uncharted ?
Do u like God of war 1 or 2?

[dachiefsman]

Gears 2 MP sucks, but the story and gameplay were solid. I can't say the same of Fable 2 or R2 as in your post. The story for R2 was bland, but the MP was fun.

[Anon1974]

It was fun. I was a fan of the first one as well but it became pretty repetitive. I finished it and traded it in already. With so many excellent games I find it hard to justify buying the DLC for a few hours more. Same thing with the GTA4 DLC. Done with GTA4, move along. I've got Fallout 3, Prince of Persia, Resistance 2 waiting for some attention, and only a month or so till Killzone 2 hits.

I can understand someone saying Gears 2 and Fable 2 were a letdown. Neither of them were really much more than the originals and the stories for both were pretty bland. Personally, I had fun with both of them but I wouldn't jump all over someone who said they were disappointed.

[RememberThe357]

Did you just say the Gears 2's story was better the R2's?

Wow. That is the first time I've heard that.

It's actually kind of hard for me to even fathom that.

But hey, we all have our own opinions.

[Snoozer282]

Woo. First I need to finish the vanilla part of the game.

[locos85]

Game ending pissed me off..... anti-epicness

[dachiefsman]

no kidding. worst ending in a game that could have been great.

The game failed to deliver for me. Although it was enjoyable some of the time, the game was way to easy.

[Nevers]

I thought Lionhead had learned their lesson from the really p!ss poor ending to the original Fable. Lost Chapters added a little but still...

I really had, and still am having, a blast w/ the "open world" afterward ...but (and I mean a very BIG "BUT") the main story ending (boss????) was a total cop out. I was so disappointed.

[m23]

I loved the game going to download as soon as I get some time.

[likedamaster]

Same here. The game did a lot of things right and made the end product fun most of all.

Emotionally, it has me especially when you have your kid even wife come to you giving you gifts asking if they can go on adventures with you. Things like that is what makes a game great for me and I personally liked their art direction.

There are some quirks and other things that annoyed me but far and in between. Certain glitches and quirks were fixed with a patch about a week ago.

[NaiNaiNai]

this might get me to go give the game another try, IDK maybe ill like it if i start over.
-nai-

[anubis12]

i like how there is one person that posted that actually has a xbox

[Anon1974]

My gamertag is right on my profile.

[RememberThe357]

What exactly is your point?

[die_fiend]

Do u like Cod 4? Only played it once, seemed good
Do u like Halo 3? It's overrated but still a great game
Do u like R2? Never played it
Do u like fallout 3? Need to play it through again, was over far too quickly
Do u like Uncharted? Was decent
Do u like God of war 1 or 2? Never played

What's this got to do with the fact that you're claiming that 2 blatantly great games are poor?

[Anon1974]

I have to disagree with that. I thought Fable 2 and Gears 2 were good, but certainly not great. That was his point, it's simply a matter of opinion. I think Fallout 3, Uncharted, COD4 are great games. I don't think Fable 2 and Gears 2 fall into the category. It's funny that people would criticize him for simply having an opinion that differs from your own. I also thought Fable's ending was pretty weak, but for me the ride up to that point was enjoyable. Should people accuse me of not liking great games? That's ridiculous.

[Faztkiller]

So there great because u say so?

[MiloGarret]

No, it's because there is a general consensus amongst authoritative sources within the industry that these games are in fact great. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but there is such a thing as a more or less valid opinion.

Say for example that you think Citizen Kane is a bad movie, anyone with any sort of insight on movies would instantly brand you a moron, your opinion on that movie is invalid because you're basing it on (probably) ignorant criteria (or you're biased) for what is good and bad. More or less the same thing here.

Learn to differentiate between giving your opinion and attempting to state a fact. For example, I think Little Big Planet is an incredibly boring experience, but I would never of call it a bad game, it just doesn't appeal to me.

[Voiceofreason]

Good Point Milo but it will be lost on these guys.. Oh well bbls for the effort. You can lead a tard to knowledge but you cant make him think.

[RememberThe357]

I beat both Gears 2 and Fable 2, and they are not great. They're good, but not great.

Games like Mass Effect, Okami, MGS4, Halo(1), GoW, and GTA:SA are great games. Gears 2 and Fable 2 just don't compare.

But this is my opinion, so take it as such.

[DOOMZ]

DL NOW!!!

[baodeus]

Maybe shooter and RPG aren't his things or maybe games just aren't his things lately. Give the guy a break.

I love Fable2. Beside some clitches, it is actually feel very organic (alive) comparing to other RPG. Well Fable 2 and Fallout 3.

[dirtrider]

Magic_The_Celt isn't really that bad. i used to give him hell, but haven't in a while. he is nothing like the other sony idiots on this site. you can also tell with how he posts he actually does know what he's talking about when it comes to 360. most of the idiots on n4g though (the sonyfanbrats) are the most hypocritical idiots i have ever seen in my life. Magic_The_Celt<---doesn't fit in to their "group". enjoy ya dlc on fable 2 man. peace

[n to the b]

agree w/Eiffel & dirtrider. bubbles for the (rare) commonsense-using members of n4g.

[IcarusOne]

It's brief and kinda of lackluster. I'm not sure what I was expecting. Just finished the quest and haven't really dug into the new regions. Just thought it would be...more.

[Rhoic]

You know.. I cant tell if you are talking about Fable 2, or the DLC. If it's the DLC, then your criticism isn't really noteworthy due to the fact that well, you didn't really play it.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

this comes out when I've got too many bills!

I've got to pay off Killzone 2 and Resident Evil 5 Collectors Edition first...

I even gotta renew my gold account on Live and then get this... money is running too thin for me in other areas, to even make this work anymore!

[imbethshusband]

This dowmloadable content is too short just like the main game was. And its way too easy just like the main quest. Also what about a boss battle.
