Knothole Island theme

Published Wednesday, December 10, 2008 12:57 AM by Sam

Since a couple of  days there has been a new theme available for the NXE; Knothole Island Theme (Premium). It's all yours for 250 points. I need to get me some points so I can get this, fits really well with the weather currently (cold, no snow).

This isn't a European timezone, all decent people are now sleeping, some even starting to dream. I've got Toronto Raptors @ Cleveland Cavaliers on on television (probably not live, it's been years since I saw anything of the NBA).

What are you up to right now?

To answer your question, I'm just chillin', as the kids say.  (Do the kids still say that?)  Just finished watching a disc of Babylon 5 with my girlfriend and I'm soaking up some Hercules: The Legendary Journeys via Netflix on my Xbox.  I have questionable taste in television, I admit.

Codiak said:

can we please get an update on whats going on with game bugs. I feel let down, £40 gets you 30+ hours of your life spent to end up with a character rooted to the floor and no-one to speak to about rectifying it along with added ignored posts in the bugs section of the forum. Is there anyone working on all this or has the Microsoft way of dealing with everything took hold at Lionhead?

What am I up to now? I just got back from an audition for a school musical.  I had to stay after school for around 3 hours, then I had to walk back home (Its freezing cold here).  Just made myself a cup of hot cocoa.

May I please have a code sent to me via email? Smily [:)]
December 9, 2008 9:43 PM
 

DMD100 said:

I would really want one of these codes by email. I'm always too late for these. And do they expire? Becouse i don't have enough memory right now for it, but i'm about to get a HDD for my 360.

Pretty please? ~Rikku :3

You wanna know what im doing!??!

Im sitting in my computer chair having a mental f****ng break down!

Ok... not a break down, but I've simply f****ng had it... I go on here time after time with false hope and faith and just pray that im one of the lucky bastards who end up with a valid code. That is never the case though... hence the break down...

Not to blame whoever this "Sam" is, but do I not deserve one of these f****ng codes? I got ripped BIG time on my limited edition copy of fable. Also, it's impossible to get a perfect gamerscore in the game without this "Pub Games". Is that not against Microsofts rules?

Bottom line is; I want a code for "Fable 2 Pub Games" and getting it on here is most f****ng improbable.

I apologize for my excessive use of the word ***...

Sam ,
if you really want to make people happy post codes to every member of LH-Blogs instead of making some happy and  others start hateing you.If you want to get attention post INTERESSTING news instead of luring to people to your blog with false hope.If it's your intention to make people happy stop charing money for a needed part of the game/ and for promotional materials.

GdRppC said:

What am I up to ? just sold my Fable II copy on http://www.priceminister.com/ since I encountered the missing wife and autist child when returning from the Spire ...

don't want to play no more nor restart the whole game and I guess I'll encounter game breaking bugs later on based on my experience so far with this game : I'd to restart 4 times at the beginning to pass childhood since the autosaved function worked endlessly or the 360 froze juste after.

no more wasting time, I'll buy a G o o d [Good] working game instead and there're plenty this year ... or perhaps give a try at Fable the Lost Chapters if I can get a copy for a few euros and get G o o d [Good] advice that it's not another Fable beta version Wink [;)]

by the way, I really feel treated like a ca$h machine when you propose paying themes or DLC for a non working game we already paid for ...

Archer23 said:

I've downloaded the original fable2 NXE premium theme, when previewing the theme i was shown 5 or 6 different background pictures.

After downloading and implementing the them I've only ever seen one back ground (fable 2 logo in the top center of the screen). 66% of the background is obstructed by a turd colored semi circle. How can i view the other backgrounds i paid for with in my NXE Fable 2 premium theme?

I can't recommended ANY premium NXE themes to any one due to the NXE's layout which block approx 66% of the background picture and apparently only 1 background image when the preview show 5 or 6.

You should also sent codes to people that can verify they have a copy of the game as by now there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of leechers that don't own fable 2 gobbling these codes up instantly.

Those other backgrounds you saw was screen shots because that was I thought orginally

NightWolf82 said:

Archer23 has a G o o d [Good] idea there.
Your Xbox Live profile should be linked here, so everyone can see that you really own Falbe II.
Based on that one could send the codes out.

You guys do realize you can buy these codes. You should be thanking him for giving us free codes not  complaining.
December 10, 2008 1:18 PM
 

centerart said:

At Thomas77-->judging from you comment it seems you have enough money to afford a copy.But Fable 2 is like a car you bought without an motor-->They carging your for the motor(Because without the overpriced Pub games you cant get all achievments).For me it seem that you are the perfect example why people are willing to pay for broken product without complaining.From another view you should have already realised that the only reason he's giving away codes is to lure people to this Blog-->Other ones try it with interessting information,unique artwork and for community help reason
Ps:By now i think you already got a code for free.But if you are not here for the codes why do you not support LH with the buy of a copy

AgainstOne said:

@centerart:

stop being such a bitter assmunch.

the only reason i know about this site is because kotaku linked to it last week in their post about the upcoming patch.

that's when i noticed all of the codes posted at the end of the patch notes.  as i was looking around at other posts, i noticed codes were posted at the end of every post.

so i started checking back often and i was able to get a code 2 days ago.  it's not that hard.  i don't even have fable 2 yet (loved the first one, though), but i had a great time playing pub games last night.

achievement points aren't as important as you seem to think.
December 10, 2008 3:44 PM
 

centerart said:

At "AgainstOne":
It seems that you have the same attitude towards "costumer awareness" like Thomas 77.Getting a free code and hooray for LH not consindering that they disappoint hundreds of people which can not be at the PC such as you.By the way "a***" could be consider as a violation of the MS Code of Conduct which covers this blog.

Achievments are functions of a programm you can not use if they a locked by a payment.Or would you buy a microwave which you can only switch on if you buy an 10$ upgrade.But i think there a people who like crappy made things.It must be otherwise EA would be bankrupt.

And i too enjoyed Fable 1 but i doom these unfair promoition/moneymaking methods which can be the death of a G o o d [Good] studio.WE will see if your opinion changes if there will be a pc Version with all addons for less money then you payed/will pay.

I am personaly happy to support a G o o d [Good] studio with my money but locking me out by making some kind of speedrun is false.

What's with all these errors the blog keeps throwing up? It seems it goes down every few minutes. Probably evidence of everyone using macros to get the page as soon as it goes up.

Please?

Wow, somebody had better call the whambulence for centerart and all the other little whiny -blam-ers who want nothing more in life than to troll around the Lionhead blog and -blam- and moan about not having Pub Games.

I love this blog. And, all the complainers are just an added bonus. Lionhead seems to be more forthcoming with info on upcoming stuff than Bungie even is. Way to go, Lionhead!

"All regular disc-based games MUST have 1,000 Gamerscore in the base game.  This means that any consumer who buys a retail game will have the opportunity to unlock the full 1,000 Gamerscore without having to pay for any add-on content.  Note that a publisher may decide to deliver a portion of this Gamerscore via add-on content, but the add-on content will always be free to the consumer."

@ E v i l [Evil]doctorwill:
And you are any better insulting people for claiming a playable/complete program.But if you would like to stop this it is easy.Just buy about 1000 codes meaning 8000$ from ms for the needed programm and hand it out to all who feel betrayed.I'm sure everybody will share their email adresses with you!

@ CLKR:
And exactly here lies the problem assuming that Pub Games is a programm with an add on content price(I also think that these item are inculded but not useable without the Programm).It's not add-on content. So this rule is bypassed.

BT-Nexus said:

Tbh, if I recall, the codes were meant to be free and come with the game if you pre-ordered it. I pre-ordered the game and didn't get one, yet it's about 95% likely there're people who've bought the game (not pre-order) and probably just come on here and started getting the pub codes for themselves. It shouldn't really be a "oh they're free so I don't mind," since if you were meant to get the pub codes free with the actual game when you pre-ordered it, it'd mean you're sat here having to ask for what wasn't included in the package. If you ask me, if you pre-ordered the game you should get sent some of these codes for free, not sat here trying your luck while randomers get so many of these codes.

I dont now why Microsoft break they'r own rules 3rd times, I mean achievement  rules
1st time they do that with Orange Box - 99 achievement
2nd time with Halo 3 wher u cant get all points w/o Legendary Map Pack
and now with our lovely FABLE 2 ;(

Ofcourse i can buy Pub Game but i wanna save my points for upcomming dlc orb buy dlc to another of my games and gate more GS.
December 11, 2008 1:11 PM
 

NightWolf82 said:

Well Halo 3 wasn't breaking the rules. As stated somewhere above, only the first 1000 GS have to be achievable without costly DLC.

Everything after that can cost points. Several other games have this system as well.

It's your fault -- you asked.

What am I doing? A full run-through of Halo 1 while waiting for a Fable II patch, so that I can play it.

When is it coming out? A question that is never answered.

An approximation would be better than no indication at all.

Thanks in advance,

Xagest said:

Guys, here are some tips:

You guys should try http://notify.me and link your instant messenger to it.  Add this blog as the source, and it'll send you an IM as soon as the page is updated.

Have a tab open for https://live.xbox.com/en-US/accounts/RedeemToken.aspx

When copy and pasting, copy the entire code, and stick it somewhere easy to access.  I put my code in the Google search field in Firefox.  Don't hit enter, or you'll do a useless google search.  Switch to your redeem code tab.

Now type in the code.  You can do this manually (if you think you're quick), or you can copy/paste again.  Since you can only paste 5 characters at a time, double click the section of the code you want to copy.  This should select everything between hyphens.  Ctrl-c copy.  Ctrl-v paste.  Repeat 4 more times, hit enter.  Lather Rinse Repeat as necessary.

G o o d [Good] luck guys, and remember that gamerpoints have no meaning.

Psyver said:

Just picked it up and I'm curious to see how it matches up to Microsoft's Christmas Theme. Yea, I can't complain about free but I'm really digging the snowy asthetic of Knothole Island. I finally just read the release and I have to say I'm a bit more excited than I was. An augment tool and new augments. Changable weather (hopefully I can keep it snowy). new clothing, including the rest of the assassins gear. Rare item shop. Can't wait...
December 11, 2008 10:02 PM
 

Psyver said:

Hepricus... chill. Just go to the store and buy the freakin' points. Stop being cheap, staring at your computer and cursing up a storm. If you could shell out $10 more for a LTD ED of Fable 2, you can afford Pub Games. Neither Microsoft nor Lionhead owe you a damn thing. People worked hard on that game, developing it and getting it just right. They don't need you to get all huffy because you don't get a freebie. If you knew the value of a dollar then you'd seriously calm yourself. I mean really, when's the last time you worked hard on something just to give it away?

Codiak said:

@ Psyver
"People worked hard on that game, developing it and getting it just right."

Hardly...... Im sat here with an un-playable game right now so you consider that to be "just right" do you. I really hope you don't have a job in quality assurance, as im sure you would be quit happy with gaping holes in your products when they go to market.

Some honest answers on a patch and its progress would sit better with me than just giving out free codes to keep some of the people happy.
December 12, 2008 5:32 AM
 

centerart said:

Codiak i fully agree with you Psyver is one of the reason why some studios make people beta testers.Andy by the way psyver if you have money to spend on a grappy game made just because they not wanted to give a Real presale bonus then i recomme that you burn the money.Andy Yes LH owe me a thing cause i have a game i can not play!! And i think i'm not the only one here!

Thomas77 said:

@ centerart

The Pub games came out before the game so that you could get a taste of Fable 2 before it  came out. Then they gave the pubgames free to people who preordered the game. Now they are even giving them out for free to lucky people. If you truly wanted the pubgames for free then you had many oportunities to to get them. For the people who didn't know about getting them for free he is giving them a second chance. As for the game being like a car without a motor. That is not true. Did you not get any enjoyment out of the game? If you played simply to get the achievements then that is sad. Even if you did play for that reason the opportunity to get the achievements for free is out there. No one is making you pay for the pub games you could just be patient and wait to get lucky for a code or perhaps in the future the pub games will be free.

P.S. I do support Lion Head and can't wait for the DLC.

ElTipejoLoco said:

In the end, neither side managed to successfully communicate what they were upset about to one another.

People who are supporting Lionhead and believe that people should buy Pub Games and stop complaining:
Pub Games' actual cost can only truly be attributed to its connectivity with Fable II itself. Even fans of the series have admit that Fable II Pub Games is "not worth $10"- especially considering what $10 dollars buys you these days on the independent gaming area. I'll admit that people should not complain because there were/are ample opportunities to obtain the game for free in the end, but trying to convince anyone that Pub Games is worth its monetary amount when compared to other games of the same prize is a bit silly. $10 dollars buys you games like Immortal Defense these days, which is much larger than Pub Games. All that aside: It's still Microsoft who decides how much Pub Games costs, not LionHead.

Additionally, these people are upset that Fable II was shorter than expected, relatively linear (its replay value is 'artificially extended' through randomly generated Jobs and Slave Rescue quests, and most of its charm comes from NPC interaction, which is where most of the development team's work went into, considering the diverse dialogue trees that can occur), and the fact that, yes, the game is full of glitches, whether 'game breaking', avoidable (which does not mean 'fixed'), or simply mildly hindering in obtaining all the gameplay value from the product (such as The Rescue quest due to an autistic child or disappearing wife that will randomly fix themselves later on). They're not just complaining about Pub Games, even if one of the most uttered phrases on this blog is "codes plz kthx", or something to that effect.

That aside, you are NOT wrong. Fable II did have a lot of work put into it, but it could have simply gotten pushed back a little bit to iron out the boatload of randomly/non-randomly occurring glitches out of its framework. It would have done the game itself a world of G o o d [Good], and people would be playing it more often instead of hanging around on forums whining about the lack of information on the patch. Sadly, people DO play 360 games mostly for the achievements, and telling them that it's 'sad' that they do so won't affect the fact that they're a majority- and growing in numbers. Completionists are one of Microsoft's largest target audiences when it comes to "Live" games, and it's starting to catch on with other companies (Sony's Trophies, WoW's Achievements).

To everyone: Molyneux Hype is a coined term by now, and almost every 'blog' outside of Microsoft's grasp shows it when they write about news from the LionHead front. You knew what you were getting yourselves into.

tl;dr: Everyone stop complaining and play or don't play your game. A Patch will be coming out, more codes might be coming out, and people will still complain about something insignificant even if everything is fixed. Especially while LionHead (or rather, Sam) continue avoiding numbering how many people have reported glitches and the like as anything other than 'few'. Cheers and a toast to less self-inflicted-misery in the future.

To those complaining about not knowing anything about the patch:

If you actually took the time to read any of the f****ng posts you'd know when it was coming. It just goes to show who actually cares about the game and who just wants to whine and cause grief because they're butt-hurt. I was excited about this game too, but guess what, I can live my life while waiting for them to fix it. When they do I'll gladly continue playing. In the meantime, there are more than enough other games to play and things for me to do.

As far as I'm concerned, with the patch and the DLC coming up, it's just the same as if they had delayed the game to fix bugs and add more content.

As for the Pub Games, not having them does not equal possessing a broken game. Yes, the game IS broken, but not because of the inability to get achievements. People have played games for years without achievements, and now that they're here it brings to light which people care about fun and which people care about their egos. It's not even like people are missing out on content, because the pub games are IN Fable. All they care about are useless achievement points, and as far as I'm concerned, gaming would be far better without them.

hold on, when in the hell is the patch coming out?!?!?  i just spend 30 minutes in the forum looking for a release date, but nothing.  it seems the only thing that is mentioned about a patch is a half dozen 'major' fixes they're working on.  however, no release date.  if someone could let me know.  or maybe LH could actually release something to let us all know.  

i would like to eventually play this game past the point leaving for the spire.  i'm sure it'd be fun, but i have a game ending glitch that isn't addressed in the 'current' patch, so i'm not sure if i ever will be able to complete F2.  Sad [:(]

Tawilk:

They said last month that it would be out by mid-December at the latest.

The last blog post on the patch mentioned that it's being finalized, which means that it's most likely right on schedule.

I hope that helps.

As I have said in a previous post it is mid december and no patch or DLC but the rumour on the grape vine is that it will be the 22nd which is the end of december so they can't even stick to there own word ....... yet again.

Xbox.com has recently been updated with three new achievements for Fable II, adding an additional 100 Gamerscore to the game for the upcoming Knothole Island DLC. They are clearly leaving themselves open to future DLC with still an additional 150 points to work with... or 650 if Lionhead can convince Microsoft they're as cool as Bungie.

The Collector  25
Acquire all the mystery items in The Box of Secrets shop, or see another Hero do so.

The Meteorologist  50
Bring all of Knothole Island’s weather problems under control, or help another Hero to do so.

maybe monday they'll announce the patch being released.  hopefully the final path version mentions something about the game not saving completly and freezing during a save.  OR maybe creating separate saves for autosave and character file saves?  that would really be great and probably solve the problem, 95% of the time.

Anything that isn't the first or last week of a month is generally considered "the middle" in the business world.

Besides that, it's the 13th, there's still a week for them to do anything. Or 2-3 days if you want to be super-technical.

lolsauce, you get major props for the shout out to god/buddha/the force/allah/flying spaghetti monster, but you forgot Sheva.  Smily [:)]  and stupid question to anyone reading this, but are these codes just to get on the pub games online rather than through the game?  i also only joined for the DLC updates and i've been asking myself what these are for and finally my curiosity is too much.  and if it is just to play them online, if you pre-ordered the game and got that little card (which i also never went online for) is the code that came with that the same deal?

kingtiger287 said:

so when does knothole island actually come out? i saw that the three new achievements are up already in my achievement list. now i have 1000 out of 1100.
December 15, 2008 1:13 PM
 

MattCatt said:

@Macster:

These codes are for a standalone game which is comprised of the three pub games available in game, plus a tournament for each game. You are also able to obtain 15 unique items for Fable II, including an expression book and a dog trick book, needed for one of Fable II's achievements. This unfortunately, is the only reason why many people here are even here. Others actually want to play the games for the games themselves.

Yes, if you pre-ordered Fable II, you were supposed to get a code for a free download of the Pub Games as a way to get a head start on gold when Fable II came out. Many people claim not to have gotten their code when the pre-ordered. If you did get the code, you don't have to worry about getting here fast enough, since they are also for this game.

Psyver said:

Centerart and Codiak. I do have a job in quality control. It pays me enough to afford a G o o d [Good] game like Pub Games. Yea... it's not Shivering Isles, Braid or Castle Crashers but you are complaining about not getting it for free. The point was that you don't complain about free. The developers did work on the game and you chose not to buy it, fine. I personally saw value in it just for the winable prizes. It got me ready for a great sequel and I'd gladly spend the cash again. You aren't looking at the big picture. I hope some day you'll realize how awful your point of view is. Lionhead is giving Pub Games away. Kudos to them. Bitching and moaning about a game you claim is awful and not getting it when you want reveals more about you as a person. And that's someone I don't want to get to know.

I just finished the main story and now I'm thinking of getting all the gamerscore.
Is it possible to get all the score in fable 2 without owning pubgames if someone gives you the special items?

@sam: a code by mail would by nice Wink [;)]

"All regular disc-based games MUST have 1,000 Gamerscore in the base game.  This means that any consumer who buys a retail game will have the opportunity to unlock the full 1,000 Gamerscore without having to pay for any add-on content.  Note that a publisher may decide to deliver a portion of this Gamerscore via add-on content, but the add-on content will always be free to the consumer."

People like flouting this.  Very well.

Quick question.  Can you trade any of the items attainable through the Pub Games?  If so, it's as legitimate as the Hero Dolls for achievements.  It requires befriending and working with other human beings, rather than complaining over a blog.

You can get the completionist achievement by acquiring the specific items from a friend,  or simply joining a friends game who already has the achievement.

The pub games are not necessary to get it.

Sam has all ready said he wont email the codes any more and that there finite. Also you can still buy the pub games and if your that much of an achiv whore buy it you allready payed for the game or if you had any brains youd find some one that has this achiv and go to there world its a social thing. and please stop posting this crap my email box is packed with this crap. I sub only to find the info out for the dlc adn ect.
At this stage he has probly turned off his own alrt for this cause your all such whine bitchs

Ben506 said:

DuzAwe: So you're complaining about getting emails each time we post, and then go on to say that the codes are finite, and he's not going to email them any more. The simple answer to your problem is - turn off comment updates. As you evidently don't care about the codes, telling us to "buy the pub games" and that "f you had any brains youd find some one that has this achiv and go to there world its a social thing", you don't care if Sam posts more codes in the comments section. He only puts proper updates on the blog, all the comments have been for more pub game codes. Or are you hoping that we all bow down to your amazing intellect and say "sorry DuzAwe, we won't bother you any more", and then Sam to come along and give you a code for being such a marvellous person?

Just turn off email updates for the comments section if you don't want to get them anymore. Simple as.

I bought the game a long time ago. What I want top say clearly is that he has all ready said no more emails yet he gets hounded for code this is worse than recon in halo 3.

 News  by Tom Bramwell

Today 10:21

Lionhead has confirmed to Eurogamer that the Fable II: Knothole Island downloadable expansion pack has been delayed until January 2009.

An announcement on Xbox.com yesterday said the pack had been pushed back from 22nd December until "late January", which the developer confirmed this morning.

Xbox.com cited "unexpected technical difficulties".


well done lionhead so many more times will it be delayed by my count that is twice so far it has been put back.
