Fable 2? Far Cry 2?

Fable II is not very good from what I've been hearing from my own friends who have bought it. Now that doesn't go for everyone but based on what I'm hearing it won't last long. Don't flame on me for the Fable II.

Far Cry 2, completely forgot about it coming out last week. It would fill in for a random one.

Completed Gears2 really easily. Quite disappointed. Still very good, but was expecting more from it. It's just an expansion pack, but it's Gears still so a worthy buy.

hehe i also finished it already but im not disappointed...

You should try some Horde mode with 2 players, see where you can get, its really fun and it gets really hard too..

I have a question to all those have got the game early, can start horde mode without Xbox Live (No Internet)? I assume you can by going through LAN setting right?

I have 2 orders for this, and have to decide which to keep, I have normal and LE ordered, is it really worth it for the limited edition, the difference is ?7.50 from where I ordered.

Any suggestions? any video/screen shot of that Gold Lancer you get in Multiplayer?

You see it in the IGN video review, nothing too special, in fact it looks pretty cheesy....

I'm thinking the same, but I still kinda want it to match my GOW1 LE box lol

heh GoW2 gets blasted for it's narrative:

Brawny, burly, and beefy, Marcus Fenix and his bros are an abnormally thick necked posse of gun totting, testosterone jacked numbskulls. Only jibes and retorts are sputtered from their mouths, and the sole emotion mustered on their thick skinned faces is either resolute anger or pinched indifference. Even then, it only appears when these guys have crushed a thousand Locusts underfoot. Just like its predecessor, Gears of War 2 simply relishes in its dimwitted machismo.

I finally think I found a review I agree with. I'm sure it'll upset some chest thumping macho fans though. :p

Isn't that what Gears 1 & 2 strived to be with their "story/acting"?

It's not meant to be a heartfelt romance..

Really? Is that why the shoehorned in Doms wife in GoW2?

Did he even mention her in GoW1? Hell every 2nd scene is about her in 2. :rofl:

That was to cater for big ole softies like you who complained after GOW obviously ;) :p

I just expected more. I mean Unreal was **** poor, Unreal 2 was worse, GoW was missing a chapter all together. How many times do you need a swing before you finally hit it right? :p

Still the console crowd is notoriously easy to please. ;) :p

But anyway, how long till people get this I'm interested in completing it co-op with someone. But I'm not braving it with a complete stranger. :)

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.178

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.178 changelog: Fixed certain extensions not working as expected. (#56271) Fixed inability to use Brave Sync in certain cases. (#55203) Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.196. (#56598) Download: Brave Browser 64-bit | 1.2 MB (Freeware) Download: Brave Browser 32-bit View: Brave Homepage | Offline Installers | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
