ign.com writes "you'll have to earn the gold to buy houses by working. Employment opportunities abound in Fable II and you could quickly earn some scratch by becoming a barman at the local pub or shoeing horses as the town blacksmith.

the shortest preview I ever read, doesn't really give much detail at all.

Filet of Children5774d ago

Agreed. That was a preview the same way that this is: You'll be able to gamble in Fable 2.

bouncybullet5774d ago (Edited 5774d ago )

I think what this puny paragraph is trying to say is:
Fable 2 will also teach my the ways of Real Estate..!

Which isn't something that most video games do..

I'm cool with it.

falviousuk5774d ago

First thing i need to do when i get the game is to get 1 or maybe 2 jobs. Im allready over 200,000 in debt because of the fable 2 pub games. No i wont cheat to get the gold, and i pretty much suck at the games :-)

STIKUP ARTIST5774d ago

Hit me up, we can break into houses together.

bouncybullet5774d ago

You don't have to merge your pub games character with your fable 2 character.

and you can reset your pub games character history.

falviousuk5774d ago

Now if you could break into house and steal that would be a good job to try out *evil* grin
Yeah knew about resetting stats, but might start the game in the poor house to see what it does to you.
So many options, so many choices, never sure which way to go

HeroOfCows5774d ago

I can't believe this was approved. It's an excerpt from the GameSpy preview, third to last paragraph.

There has to be?

I mean, I love to work when I play...

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer203d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog203d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned203d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c203d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb203d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies203d ago (Edited 203d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal203d ago (Edited 203d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72202d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman203d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos202d ago (Edited 202d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows202d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90366d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson367d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper367d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam366d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist366d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius366d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh

Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.

thorstein942d ago

...and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4....

I am biased.

Hofstaderman942d ago (Edited 942d ago )

OK let's end this, in order
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon
Breath of Fire 4
Breath of Fire 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11
Vagrant Story
Saga Frontier 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 2
Suikoden
Threads of Fate
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Lunar 2

Jiub942d ago

Sometimes I forget how much of a powerhouse the PS1 was

MadLad942d ago

I don't play too many jrpgs, and I'm trying to diversify a bit.

Outside of FF and Dragon Quest, what two games from that list do you most recommend someone trying? Doesn't matter if it's a sequel to another game or not.

Jiub942d ago

IMO: Chrono Trigger and Suikoden II

thorstein942d ago

Octopath Traveler is really good.

BlaqMagiq1942d ago

You have Threads of Fate on there which means you get my ultimate respect. Underrated and overlooked.

Exvalos942d ago

Man your dang near spot on absolute spot on choices

Epicor941d ago

I like your top 6 a lot. I don't have the same orders but all those games would make my top 10 RPG list most likely. Number 1 for me is FFIX. It holds a special place in my heart and imo it's the perfect Final Fantasy game.

In addition I would give special mention to some western RPG's as well: Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 were iconic games. Out of JRPG's I'd like to add Disgaea 2 on that list.

MadLad942d ago (Edited 942d ago )

Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.

As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.

LoveSpuds942d ago (Edited 942d ago )

Some quality taste in games there squire.

I'd add some Baldurs Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights from back in the day too.

MadLad942d ago

Should have added BG2. Played through it many times over the years.

Never could get into Neverwinter Nights though. Not sure why.

Omegasyde941d ago

Loved rouge galaxy. Fav game from Level 5.

ManMarmalade942d ago

Legend of Dragoon #1 game of all time for me
