GuruUnlimited:

Having the world dynamically respond to two potentially contrasting characters would be very difficult, and likely cause at least more than a few ugly bugs.

Yeah, but I don't think that'd be the problem.

The smart decision hitting that problem would be just to let them play as their character model, not remove the whole thing until your a henchman. You said it would make Hero #2 enjoy it less, so why would they remove the whole feature.

I understand what you mean though, I'd be fine if we could just adjust the henchman clothes rather than preset.

all i gotta say is Lionhead did a very job on fable 2 But honestly they realy realy realy need to FIX THIS ASAP. if they want a real coop let there be 2 heroes in 1 world!.

Shut up and be glad that you even have co-op.

I am an extremely anal person

I was always under the impression that the reaction by npcs to the two allied heroes was the whole point of co-op. Numerous times PM has said in his interviews about people reacting differently to you if you have a person of an opposite alignment or whatever; saying things like "oh, what's that kind of guy doing with you?" etc. Most people will agree that the whole fun of co-op is showing off your character, how powerful he is, his appearance and leaving your mark on your friends world. You can't do that when you select a henchman from a list.

The co-op SUCKS. Why should we be glad we have a retarded Co-Op that is painful to use?

Id much rather they completely left it out and focused more on the story.

This was one of the big features promised, you can't have a half-assed-tacked-on feature and expect everyone to be grateful when it is a big selling point. Some people are just blinkered. 

Are they going to fix this????????? Are lionhead gonna show BOTH unique characters in co op? I hope they do, i seriously hope to god they do

someone answer me, PLEASE

Why's everyone saying it's broken? This was always the design decision for co-op and it was announced to be this way. The world has one hero that changes it, that's the point of the game. It's not broken and doesn't need fixing.

Sweetest moment in the game? My dog came back from the dead to help me open the Rookridge Demon Door. I fed him a snack and he followed me to see what the treasure was. When I left, he disappeared, having helped his master out one final time.

Rebeled13:

see this is where it goes WEIRD. why WHY would you not want the clothing you express yourself and the DEMON or HALO you have but instead a PRE-SET henchmen. would it not be simple to clone you character so you can interact with other heros?



edit.
and god knows they are gunna develop more Updates... as they rushed the multi coop

Well Jesus f****ng Christ, why dont you just make another character on the other user or something then make him join ur game, its simple press Y when in the co-op screen. Besides two of yourself would be sooo confusing, let your brother mother friend or whatever make anoter character in another save then transport him to you!!!!

A lot of people were confused about co-op. It was never a consense that it was going to be this way, specially when PM said co-op was one of the main features and he was going to change the way people play co-op.

And he did change the way they play co-op. Now people have to log into someone else's game to actually see their hero rather than have them all in one world (which wouldn't really fit with the overall game concept). The guy innovates and they complain. LOL

Innovating is not necessarily a thing.

A lot of games failed trying to iinovate.

Wii is pretty inovating, but I´ve never seen a worst videogame in my whole life.

I could say a lot of great innovating ideias of games here, but all of them would suck, cause, again, an innovation does not means that will be a thing.

I HOPE THEY FIX ON-LINE COOP!!!!

This problem needs a DLC where you can actually see your friend's character. I am not going to go ahead and say that I am grateful for the Coop if it is shitty. Who the hell wants to play as a henchmen?

Hell yeah!

not to call you entiraly bat *** crazy but...
YOUR ARGUMENT IS NOT VALID

you get to pick henchman: //neutral //  boy/girl
six choises.

so they have already figured out how 2 possibly conflicting things would work in a world, they are just THE SUCK.

if they ware a tad bit more clever, they would just make a patch that adds a henchman called *editable*

and a small options menu with all possible items.
to put onto that char, they could use the shop HUD but with all items in one "shop"
( the menu )
lame solution to the problem.
yes, definately.
but the cheapest, and most easaly programmable one.
( one extra option panel, that just opens a "shop" window, and saves it to the char right after closing, copy-past work gods damnit, lame sheit designers.. )

so okey, if you do it this way, some things might not work as of yet, but people dont give a rats ass, as long as they get to look the way they want!

When I play with a friend neither of us want to look like a model already chosen for us. You are supposed to be able to pimp your character and make them look unique but I was hoping that I could show my friend without having to switch worlds.

It's sort of like the point of Fable - Watching your character develop. So them taking out co-op developing is the gayest thing ever. I don't care about seeing my friend's "world."

It's like if I get invited to a chick's house; I go to see her. I would pretty dissapointed if she took me to her room and said "LOL LOOK OUT OF MY WINDOW AT MY PRETTY GARDEN" and gave me a cup of tea.

"It could get confusing to have 2 characters with the exact same powers and weaponry so I geuss they went with the random henchman thing."


Are you nuts? Have you played halo and been on the same red team? Did you get confused there stupid?

Thought so.

Stop making excuses for shitty games.

Why the F*** is everyone so pissed on the coop thing. first of all, YOU CAN'T BRING YOU'RE HERO TO COUCH COOP! But if you play ONLINE COOP, you CAN bring you're other charcter to you're world. I tried it with a friend and it works. If you guys are complaining about couch coop then get a life, play the PROPER WAY TO COOP and play it ONLINE!

I think there's something wrong with my co-op... Isn't the other player supposed to show up as a generic henchman? Whenever anyone joins my game, the only thing I see is their Gamerpic floating around with their name above it.

LAZR_KAT:

Don't bag on Lionhead, at least they gave us Co-op.

They could have easily not put this feature in.

 

P.S. Your title is wrong. Co-op implies that it uses "multiple people"

Mabye he shouldnt talk the talk if he cant talk the talk. This is the worst coop. It's not even coop. Its me watching my friend have fun while not progressing through the game myself. All along the way the camera sucks my chode. The only reason they told us there wouldnt be coop right away was so reviewers couldnt have it in their reviews.

Wana see true coop? Trade in Fable 2 and buy saints row 2. Play through the whole game with drop in drop out coop. No fixed camera, you can custumize ur character online, and its fun as hell.
