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 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. :)

      But you still need RAM and a GPU. If you haven`t any spare that`s going to cost quite a bit...

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.
