Special edition Gears 2, Fable II coming


Recommended Posts

Of course I didn't. It sold like crazy on the Xbox too. What does that have to do with anything?

Put it this way, the only game show that's left this year for the type of announcement that Fable 2 is coming to the pc, is Tokyo Game Show. Fable isn't even popular in the East. Are you really so sure it's gonna be announced? I wouldn't count on it :laugh:

I mean, they've even decided to split the game into episodes for XBLM before they think about porting it?

Stranger things have happened but I think you guys are just going to end up disappointed. Either you'll have to bite the bullet and buy a 360 or play the game on a friend's 360, or pass up on the game entirely.

1: trouble is, hype hasn't died for Fable. Just read an article about Eurogamer that Fable 3 was the most popular game read about on their site over the Gamescom event. That's beating some of the big boys including GT5 and God of War 3 etc. Fable always has and always will be at home on the Xbox, there is no dying "hype". And to the guy at the top of the page, milking? Seriously? Wow 2 titles in the space of 4 years, that's really milking it :sleep:

2: So because I didn't include the word "Xbox" in the topic title, it must mean something? Really? That's the best you could come up with? So If I go back and change the title now, all you have is reason #1 which has already fallen flat on it's face? Yikes..

3: :sleep: Uh huh. Except GoW controls better on the 360 controller. That's not just personal opinion. That's the overall consensus of gamers & media. Same goes for Fable.

1. i'm talking about fable TWO, not three. hype for fable 2 is over. halo came out for pc even though the console gamers were hyped about halo 2 at the time. are you saying halo isn't at home on the xbox...?

2. i didn't say it meant anything, i was only saying that it didn't clarify against one possible interpretation (which happened to be my interpretation because i am interested in pc, and thus my natural assumption with no opposing evidence will be biased towards the kinds of things i prefer and tend to think about). i'm not saying you SHOULD have included xbox in the title, only explaining my reasons for clicking on the thread.

3. just because a lot of people share an opinion on something doesn't transform that opinion into objective fact. i have played gears of war on xbox and pc, and in my subjective opinion (which i am willing to support with surprisingly passionate ranting) keyboard and mouse will always be superior in every way to controllers in their current form, at the very least for first person shooters. i felt that gears of war controlled WAY better on the pc. to the point where i felt like i was cheating by using a keyboard and mouse, it felt like the game didn't take that kind of accuracy into account and was pandering to me needlessly. that may sound like groundless bragging, but i'm actually a fairly average player usually - and that was a genuine thought/impression at the time.

That's because Gears is designed for the controller, it kind of compensates for having the less-then-accurate analogue stick. So when it's controlled with a Mouse... yeah, easy pickings :p
