Fable II DLC Drops Back to Dec 22nd

Fable II DLC Drops Back to Dec 22nd
Written Thursday, December 11, 2008 by Dan Webb

Talking to VG247 today, Lionhead stated that the Fable 2 DLC was actually planned for release on December 22nd and not December 12th.

“It is 22nd December,” said the rep. “I believe one site stated 12th which was a mistake, and as with all these sort of things it got some traction. We always said mid December.”

Funny that when I checked my e-mail log literally seconds ago, the original date from Microsoft states December 12th and not "mid-December". Come on Lionhead, get your story straight first.

@7

Like an hour or so. Considering how long the overall game is, I can't expect the DLC to be very long. Hopefully they won't be greedy bastards and charge anything over 800points, they'd be smart to go along the same route as ME and charge 400.

Oh well traded this awhile back, no care for this game anymore. Have fun to all of you who actually buy it and feel accomplished.

@ 8 - They confirmed it was 800 already. See the 2nd link.

"Come on Lionhead, get your story straight first."

they can't even get the glitches straight in the game, never mind the DLC content date.

Still no word on achievements with the DLC?

AHHH! First they ship the game without the online coop worked out and now they push their DLC. The accompanying patch better fix my stupid Son/Hobbe's Cave glitch!

@ #14
This was the most glitchy game I have ever played in my life and I've played some glitchy games. That being said, I did love it and will buy the DLC... if there's new achievements. If not it's a waste of $10 for an hour or 2 of play when you consider you pay about $1 for every 2 hours of play, maybe $1 for every 1.5 hours of play for the full game.

im not bothered about DLC for fable 2, i was really disapointed with how short it was and traded it in after i completed it and got most of the achieveables.

BRING ON THE FALLOUT 3 DLC!!!

The point is: for Microsoft to make more money. DLC is an easy way for them to do this. No physical material to hafta print or transport. But it also means we, the fans, get some more enjoyment and gameplay out of an already awesome game. To me, that's worth the ten dollars. If someone disagrees, they don't hafta buy it.

So it's win-win. More achievements would be nice, but they shouldn't be the only thing that sells a game or DLC pack. If all we care about is actual achievement points, then we can play stuff like Cars: Mater National and 2K6 Sports titles.

Traded it in, but I have more fun with Saints Row 2 and that game is getting dlc also, plus I'm getting The Last Remnant anyways for my rpg pleasures.

@17
It's just for fun and playability. Not all dlc should have achievements, only the major ones should.

Why does Lionhead continually insist on lying to cover up their mistakes?

"It's not a glitch, it was totally intentional. And now we're going to totally intentionally fix that like we meant to from the beginning."

Just shut the fuck up, Lionhead. Seriously. We're not that dumb.

Maybe ill get this when it drops in points or they release this as a pack with future DLC..Not worth paying points for an hour or two..

I will get the DLC, I liked the game.
sure some glitches but hell what about Forza 2.
horrible glitches and the game has been out for ages
and not one fix for it.
the main thing that sucks in Fable 2 is the co-op controls

I'm actually really pissed now. I let my friend borrow it until this came out and asked him to bring it back because I was expecting to download it tomorrow. And I like how they said "some random site", and that random site was Microsoft. Way to make yourselves look like dumbasses Lionhead.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
