Heck, I wouldn't have minded a half-decent Zelda clone they're some of the best games of all time. You can smell the desperation there are dozens and dozens of direct rip-offs from the Zelda franchise. The no-spoiler synopsis of Fable 2 is that it's a bad Zelda clone. This is sad, considering the amount of effort that went into its development. But it's not a very good game, and it's definitely not a very memorable game. It's playable for a couple of days, and it has its fun moments. It wasn't as bad as some people make it out to be. It's already fading from memory as we speak. Unfortunately, with a few noteworthy exceptions that I'll call out in the "Highlights" below, the game is entirely forgettable.

But I had set some flag to the effect that "I liked it," and I wanted to like the sequel too. Other than that, I just have vague recollections of shooting birds on the roof of some guild, and needing to get a 6-foot handlebar moustache for some side quest. It's a funny conversation and the scene has a funny ending. One of the NPCs has been bitten by a Balverine (a werewolf), and the two argue the whole trip about whether he's going to turn. I vaguely remember liking Fable 1, although I can't remember anything about the game except for one neat scene where you had to escort two NPCs through a dark valley. To Lionhead's credit the game never crashed again, making it significantly more stable than Oblivion or Fallout 3. So I shut it down for the night, waited for the stores to open, forked over the $100, and installed the game to the hard drive.

FABLE 2 PC RIP GAMES HOW TO
Nobody actually said how to do it, so it took another hour of digging to deduce that you need to purchase a $100 wireless network adapter (or 100 feet of network cable, I guess). Eventually I stumbled across discussions of the "install to hard drive" option. I tried playing for about an hour, with the game crashing every 3 to 5 minutes, and I finally went online to read about how it kills XBoxes and it's the Game of Death and blah blah blah, all interesting but not especially helpful. Reset the XBox, tried again, and this time got as far as some guy selling snake oil gadgets before it locked up again.

I bought the game for $60, fired it up, got up to the part in the intro where a bird craps on your head (yes, this is how it starts), and it locked up hard. A game like that gets you in the mood for more gaming, so I thought to myself: "Hey, I should plop down $160 for Fable II!"Īctually that's not exactly what I thought, but it's what happened. I finished Fallout 3 maybe six or eight weeks ago, and it was hands-down one of the best games I've ever played.
