They truly don’t make games like this anymore fable 2 was a amazing so many memories

Fable 2's title screen music just hits me in a way that so few other games can, it's truly amazing

I actually hooked up the Xbox 360 in my bedroom to play this game again. My oldest daughter (she's 20) saw me playing, and wanted to create her own character to play. I haven't been able to play again since..... She's always on it. 😂

I can’t explain fable 2 but it marks possibly the biggest game from my childhood. It’s nostalgia is something I simply cannot describe. It invokes so much raw emotion in me and for the most part I can’t even explain why. This is coming from someone who is typically quite stoic. This may be dark for some but I even contemplate the bower lake theme for my own funeral music.

Anxiety hit me like a truck for the first time ever early December 2020, a bit after I started to replay Fable 2 again. Maaan thank god for this game at that time. Helped keep me grounded at a time when I felt so much fear for seemingly no reason

The game was my summer of 2010. I spent the whole summer playing this game and getting all the achievements. Best summer of my life in terms of gaming!

Fable 2 is forever a game that will live on in my memories

Fable 2 was the first game I got for my Xbox 360. Glad you hit me with the nostalgia. Awesome game.

Played Fable Anniversary and instantly bought Fable 2. Haven’t gotten around to cracking it open with all of the recent game releases but MAN this has me excited lmao

I loved this game so much when it came out. Haven't played it since. Have been debating replaying Fable 2 for a while.

Fable II is one of my favorite games and holds a special place in my heart. The exploration, the secrets, the music... it made me fall in love with gaming.

I really hope Playground embraces that Dickensian Christmas Carol art style that the older games had. It would suffer from a photorealistic reimagining. Keep that style, open the world and release around Xmas and it should do well.

This game blew my mind when I was a kid. So much to do, your decisions had long lasting impact on the world, the lore was interesting and unique! I even liked the 3rd fable lol very excited for the new game whenever it may come

No lie I recently purchased Fable II and III from the Microsoft store last month and MAN I'm glad I did...

Best game in the series in my opinion. Badly need a pc port as well

Miss this game. I’ll never forget when I got the Daichi Katana on my first play through. Good memories.

This was the first game I played when we bought an Xbox 360 (which also was my first console when I got 12 yo, used to play a few games on my parents' computer before). I'm really attached to it and although I guess nostalgia plays out, thus disregarding some of its bad aspects, I really love that game. I've been going back to it from time to time when I get hold of my 360 and it's always pure pleasure. There's something really appealing about Albion's universe which really is the definition of fantasy, with its haunting music and visuals (the lighting in this game) along with the very british humour. I really hope I can get back that feeling if they actually do a game in the next few years, I was sad to hear that lionhead went bankrupt back then.

I want them to hurry up and give us the new fable

Why Fable 1 n 3 have a 60fps update on the Series X but not 2 is beyond me.

Fable 2 was the first gaming experience I remember. I can see it now. Me sitting by my older cousin watching him play, and eventually letting me try. About a year later, i got my own 360 and it was the first game i asked for. Not long after that fable 3 came out. And i got to experience that on my own. Man those were the days!!

the fable series is a typical example of developers trying to fix what isnt broken, Netherealm studios are going through the same thing right now with mortal kombat, the constant rewriting of their lore and lack of legacy fighting mechanics is hurting their brand but still they feel the need to reinvent the wheel every sequel - in regards to fable, each sequel got progressively worse after the first, I still remember the impact the first game had on me as a child, I had never played a choice based adventure game like that before where my actions shaped the character, world and its people and I have never been able reach that level of immersion again all 20 years later, games like Red Dead Redemption, Elder Scrolls Oblivion and recently Cyberpunk 2077 game close because of their unique experiences but Fable was like nothing I had ever played before, it blew me away and still to this day no game has come remotely close to doing fantasy adventure choice based RPG as well other than Baldurs Gate 3but BG3 is more of an MMO than RPG

Fable 2 is so fantastic. I want a port of it on PC so badly man. One of those cases where I am here willing to throw money at microsfot if it was just on Steam but they just are still not that great at PC support no matter how much they talk. I am really hoping they they remaster the trilogy and give it some love in time for Playgrounds Fable

I was a little surprised the guns didn't get a mention in this review. They were a real game changer for me. I wasn't impressed when I heard they'd be coming, but they were beautiful, deadly & really fun to use thanks to the detailed aiming mechanic. Plus, they had the best sound of any game of that era. The way they'd crack & echo thru the mountains & reverberate in dungeons & caverns was so sweet. Also, you didn't have to max out all your skills if you didn't want to. This not only changed your individual play style, but radically changed your character's physical appearance. My gunslinger build was a leggy, elegant femme-fatale & my mage looked like a being of pure light. One reason dogs are so omni-present in modern games is because of Fable 2. My dog was my best friend in that game, for good reason. My whiney wives & cherubs never stood a chance. ;)

MrMattyPlays, This is fantastic! I subscribed right away!

Im surprised you didn’t delve more into the music, honestly this game was the height for the music, the battle themes slapped, the ambient tracks were so distinct and whimsical

To be honest, Fable 2 was my first fable and it was amazing! Beautiful and peaceful! When I was a young teenager I often get scared at the Hollowmen but then I remember it was in the game. I love it even tho it's an old game! Great video tho, keep up the amazing work! You should play the DLC for this game and fable 3! Highly recommend it!

Fable 2 was my first fable game. it is for sure the best one in the franchise.

wow forgot how much i loved this game as a kid man. watching the gameplay and cutscenes on here just blasted me back wow

Best Fable. I'd buy it again if it were made available on PC.

I love so much about Fable 2. I think my favorite part is that, somewhere, you get to read thar the guild master from Fable was found dead with the words "Your health is low" carved into his skin.

Imagine this title on PC with mods

That intro though. We need more of this CHAOTIC ENERGY Matty.

Randomly had the urge to play this game after last playing it in 2008/9 and I was 10 years old. 23 now and this game is stands the test of time! My favorite in the series

Fable 2 is a pure masterpiece i replayed it few months ago it was so cool

I need to go back and replay all the fable games before 4

Fable 2 is SOOOOO good, I talk about it more than I probably should but I want more people to appreciate it. I bought a Series S just to play it again.

Forever love Fable

I remember playing Fable 2 when my 360 Red Ringed on me. Great game and franchise though. I'm glad MS has since gotten their act together with their hardware.

Fable 2 is my favorite fable game..but yes it has a few over sight..the co-op exp oversight basically allows you to max out your character after 1 min of play...it's ridiculous It sucks this isn't natively on PC..I would buy a fable 1 2 and 3 bundle on steam ASAP.

This is one of my favorite games ever, probably top 5. Can't wait to watch the video this evening!

I just realized my mentor is my sister from the first game Theresa. Shes blind and everything

The demon doors were my favorite thing about this game. Winter lodge was creepy and beautiful. "oh, I wonder if I can own this cabin!? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF"

Sorry that I don't comment enough but love these reviews where you go back on cool games, replay them and review them again. Agree with you on Fable 2. Great gameplay with not so great story choices but a really cool and for me addictive economy system taking over Albion

I played Fable 2 and 3. I don't think I ever played the first. Fable 3 was ahead of its time. You could buy and sell property, the reputation system was amazing, the music was really good, you could start a family, etc.

This is really weird. I was just playing Fable 2 a couple hours ago for the first time in a year and then this video shows up. What a coincidence.

title theme is another version of the song that would play inside the demon doors. super nostalgic

What a nice coincidence. I just got done playing the first one for the first time ever. And was looking into part 2! Nice video bud

Fable 2 is a game ive completed many times and still play to this day. I love visiting my Serenity Homestead and Bower lake. Ive given Millions away to new starters along side some mission items like Regal Purple dye or Crucible nuts. Its simply amazing game. In comparison i completed Fable 3 once.

That reminds me, I need to collect my rent from half of Albion. I wonder how much money I'll be getting after about three years.... My noblewoman wife might be happy to see me too, lol.

There is certainly NOT a game like Fable…likely ever. Fable is such a unique and long loved experience that I feel like it’s hard to replicate. Something about the soundtrack of Fable 2 instantly transports me into the best kind of happy nostalgia. I’m so so so nervous for the new Fable because I fear it won’t be anything like the original 🥲

I love fable 2, it was great and the gameplay is unmatched. But it's insane how the last part of the game wasn't a boss fight and as epic as Jack of Blades was. Fable 1 will forever be my favorite.

Man I miss this game I want to have a remaster for PC

Isn't Teresa also part of the original bloodline I mean she the original hero sister right

To me as somebody who grew up on fable 1 The hype leading up to fable 2 was amazing, Granted PM lied and promised a game 30 yrs ahead of its time, he infact delivered a game 15 years ahead of its time It's fantastic, if you dig deep you really can do anything

I love seeing people currently reviewing games from the 360/PS3 era for me it was the best generation of video games when it comes to games.

Loved this back on the Xbox360 days. I really hoped to see the Fable Anniversary Collection rumored to come out soon (twitter thing about 🐔). But anyways I'll just play the backcompat version 😁

fable 1 and 2 changed the game, glad i played 1 before 2 dropped so i could truly appreciate how crazy it is to deliver that much with that many expectations

Fable 2 is a masterpiece imo 💕🥰 can't wait to play it again getting a Xbox series S soon 💯

I’ve never played fable, should I play them before the new one comes out?

Ahh fable 2 brings back good memories

What are you playing this on to have such minium motion blur, or what tv settings is your xbox using

Just beat the 3 games again recently, and this one is just so amazing. A classic rpg and one of my favorite

I just recently played and completed this for the first time last month.

Looks surprisingly good on the series x.

What the hell Microsoft. Remake, remaster, rerelease this series. It’s your final fantasy for goodness sake

The best thing about fable 2 is the life simulator and the writing, this was back in a time where people knew how to write jokes and stereotyping the british was ok, I hope they keep the humor going forward and the life simulator, I also hope they don't make the game world too unnecessarily big, fable's world was always condense but so much richer for it.

The game has lots to offer. Certian chain quests continue after the main story is done.

I started playing these games at Fable 2 and I loved the game I still re play it once a year now in 2023 but in highschool someone said to me the first one is miles better so I bought fable tlc and not wrong that is one of my all-time favourite games even better then a game I loved so much I non stop played these games for years every choice bad or good until I got to fable 3 and it wasn't a bad game but it wasn't really good for me didn't enjoy the industrial age of fable the story and the enemies just didn't feel the same but still a great trilogy of games

That Commander still fuqs me up! Thank you for making this!!!!!! From a fellow Fable fan

I dont know how young I was but I was young as shit I bought it cause I didnt have enough for fable 3 at the time and I loved it spent days playing when I didnt have to go to school

It really really sucks that Fable 2 and 3 are locked on backwards compat. It is available on cloud but damn is input lag so bad it made it unplayable. We just need digital copies of these games. They need to be rereleased! They just aren't available.

I remember Fable 2 being fun af. I tried playing a bit of it late last year. Times were simpler and I guess I was more lenient back in 2009 when I first played it 😅 I can still find enjoyment in however. Can't wait for your thoughts on 3, played that to completion last year as well and had some good fun. Not as much as I did back in 2010, but I was mostly coasting on nostalgia in that playthrough.

Excellent video, truly. Started watching when you were pissed about Elden ring not being released 😂 we are the same age and have played the same games as kids lol

Still waiting for Fable 2 PC edition.

what do you expect from the new fable ?

Fable 2 is one of the best games ever made

I replayed fable 2 12x the first year it was out. I was mildly obsessed

Really enjoyable video! 😁😁 imScott 🤓🤓

Surprisingly the castle looks the same even after millions of years

Probably a hot take but I'm loving this game so far. Even more than oblivion. Yes, hot take like I said. But I love how easy flowing this game is. I'm almost never confused, I always know where to go etc. whereas in a game like oblivion, I almost always felt confused. Be it quests, story wise etc. unless I did my own research. And there's so much freedom in this game. There's several jobs where you can literally make as much money as you want, buy as many houses/businesses as you want, marry a bunch of people etc. And the quests for the most part have been pretty entertaining. Great game this far.

This game will always be one of my top 5 games

As much as I absolutely love Fable 1, Fable 2 is my jam. I find it a bit more Unique in its setting than Fable 1. Or more like it actually evolved and grew the setting to be something more than just 'another medieval fantasy setting'. The kind of 15th-18th century vibe where you have Guns as well as Sword and Sorcery was really cool and something you didn't see that much back then. Fable 1 still has the best story and the best villain. But Fable 2 has the best setting. And the best gameplay. Fable 3 did not do it for me at all.

What I love about fable is the Color. So much beauty

Yep that intro hits different, but I know why I love it so much, it’s basically the same as new Vegas

Great video. When will the triangle strategy review be out?

There's an exploit with the multiplayer exp, before leaving the cave. Max lvl, can craft if buff, tall, etc

I remember buying Fable 2 but didn’t play much cuz I was still in Fallout 3 world and then went over to Wrath of the Lich King release

the new vegas cameo was absolutely fantastic 😂

Fable 2 is one of my top 5 I've played it a dozen times or more. It's a masterpiece. Fable and Fable 3 are wonderful of course, I think Fable 3 gets a lot of undue hate, (perhaps some due) but Fable 2 is just so good.

I really hope the original Fable Trilogy gets remastered

Cool review. Definitely looking forward to the new Fable. They should have used you on the cover of AC Valhalla. Never would have guessed you'd behave like Paulie in Goodfellas. Good for you. Lol, multiple wives and they can fight each other? That's hysterical. Also, that theme you showcased from the score, very magical. Looking forward to your Fable 3 review. Awesome video dude. Loved that theme.

Still waiting on that fable 3 review 2 years later 😢

Persona 3 2022 review when Matty? :)

The coop on this game was amazing, but you had to do it via online for the "real" experience which I'm pretty sure is impossible now :(

Fable 2 brings back good memories.

I got a buddy on xbox to try fable 2. He played it and said wtf combat etc is ass. I said fable is about the sand box etc. So he played it again and payed more attention to the sandbox like getting houses wives and so on and he said yo this is fucking awesome x"D

I wanna start playing fable, do i need to start with the 1st fable release? Or can i just start at the latest game

i've never actually played the original Fable, but i really enjoyed Fable 2, Fable 3 had some nice things about it, but Fable 2, overall, was still better, though i agree about things like the story and ending being weak or potentially better. looking forward to your review of Fable 3 Matty :)

i started this game today (never played mmo or anything like this in my life) AND I LOVE IT !!!

I would literally give anything for Fable 2 to come out on PC.
