I went to go play my copy the other day after a long long time of not playing it and the bitch wont play on my new Xbox. WTF!? Theres no scratches or anything on it. I shouldnt say it doesnt play because it does but the screen is all fucked up and distorted. Maybe its the new HDTV and I cant change the games options or something....I dunno. Damnit I really wanted to get into my game again too. :(
Did you change your Dashboard to support HD, and did you get the Hi-Def AV pack?
So far:
Beautiful game, they redid a lot of the textures so that everything looks great in high-res, it's even damn nice with a bunch of options turned down. New quests are available all over the place, mostly small stuff so far that adds nice details. A whole string of objectives was about people getting high off mushrooms, providing my favorite line so far that was basically, "She was amazingly beautiful, but the trees were also running around on little chocolate legs, you know?" All sorts of new expressions have been added, like the Russian kick dance and the flamenco.
For the most part it's still the same game it was on Xbox, so if you hated it there you won't change your mind here. It even still has the glitch of listing the initial three quests that you can't accept which then disappear by the time you're done killing the wasp queen. No idea if they pop back up later on and can actually be completed in this version, but if not that's a really pathetic oversight.
The combat is sort of screwed up as the mouse really doesn't work so hot with rolling and lock-on is just better off not used unless you're fighting bosses. Not a huge deal once I got used to it but it feels clumsier then it did with a gamepad. Which, you know, wouldn't be a problem except that THE GAME DOESN'T SUPPORT GAMEPADS! How in god's fucking name does a title initially released on consoles ship on PC with zero gamepad support?! Stupid stupid stupid. I can't believe they went to the trouble of removing that for no reason that I can think of.
So, uh, yeah. As someone that liked it on Xbox I'm enjoying myself with the PC version, but I really have to wonder what they've been doing with their time considering what still needs to be worked on.
Sounds good ...Quote:

Yeah, the game simply screams console port. It's really quite annoying that they left the interface so clunky.
But I'm having a lot of fun with it. I did hear thought that there's actually not very much new content, which is kinda disappointing. I guess we'll see. I'm really enjoying the game on my first time through.
Just beat it. The endgame stuff is way better this time around, most of the new material is an added chunk of story quests that finishes off the game with a much better leadup and finale. The final boss is still pretty easy and I imagine it'll be even more so when a controller can be used so that dodging becomes effective again. They give a whole bunch of background lore regarding the world, a lot of new tattoos (including a couple full body sets that look a hundred times better then any of the ones offered before), a new set of armor, some awesome looking helms, new weapons (though none of them are particularly useful), and a cool little bonus for the evil ending. They really added a ton of great touches for the evil playthrough of TLC and made life a pain in the ass for the good guys.
On the bad side they totally nerfed the Sword of Aeons (and it now also has a good counterpart for those of you that prefer the light) and it drops from being the best weapon in the game - which makes sense seeing as how it's the sword of legend and all - to being about fourth or so best. Now the best weapon in the game is the Soul Reav- I mean, Solus Longsword, which can be purchased in a shop. What sense does that make?
I had a screenshot of the awesome Pimp Hat you can now get but Fable does its own special thing with the print screen key and I have no idea where it saves screenshots (if they're even accessible out of game). Oh well, whatever.
thats good to hear, the x-box port hit on october right? i will definitly get it with a controller.
