Molyneux "incredibly emotional" over Fable II reviews

Lionhead designer thanks press for "patience and belief" in mostly positive reviews
Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux has thanked the press for their "patience and belief" when reviewing Fable II, and said that he became "incredibly emotional" when reading the first verdicts.

The earliest online and magazine reviews hit earlier this week - including our own - and have earned Molyneux's 360 RPG a handsome 89% Metacritic score, which he seems to be pleased with.

"Fable II must have been one of the hardest games to review. The world is so big and the story and gameplay are enormous. How reviewers manage to distil such an experience into a few pages is incredible," Peter Molyneux told CVG this morning.

"I found myself becoming incredibly emotional as I read peoples reviews and saw how differently the reviewers were reacting to Fable 2. Some reviewers played good, others evil some enjoyed the combat more than the story. Some ended up rich and others poor and it's the sheer variety in how reviewers have played the game which has struck us most.

"I'd like to say a personal thank you to every reviewer out there for their patience and belief." Group hug!

Fable II went on sale in North America yesterday, and will be arriving in European shops this coming Friday (although some retailers are already selling it early). While not without its flaws, it's turned out great. You wouldn't go wrong to pick it up from the shops - even above all the other quality 360 games releasing this weekend.

I recently read the OXM UK review and it certainly sounds like Fable 2 has its faults. The most frustrating part of it is that most of the faults are technical; from bad slowdown and glitches to buggy menus.

I'm also not keen on the fact that you cannot die during combat, instead losing a bit of EXP and returning to the scrap. I've said this before and I'll say it again, I always get bored of games with a lack of challenge.

Even the money side of things sounds like a waste of time before too long.

I may actually wait and see if the developers release a patch in the coming months before I part with my cash.

I may sound a bit harsh, but in a game that swallows up massive amounts of time I really need to know that I am definitely going to enjoy the game. Oblivion disappointed me with the enemies that grew in strength with my hero and Fable 2 sounds like another game that is trying to please too many casual types with its simplicity.

Surprise, surprise. It's the usual comments coming from the usual suspects. Rolling Eyes

Well, I must say I cant wait for Friday to play through Albion for the first time, still dont know if I'll be good or eveil yet.

Decisions, decisions.

yey! if you say t**t in its plural form, it isnt censored... t**ts.

yet we have "snooker cue" for pr*ck and "bottom" for ars*

are we trying to cater for babies on here. i got an emotional plee in my inbox saying i swear to much. its the f**king internet. the one thing that doesnt need to be censored. and yet they do so. its like the f**king bbc round here, disgrace.

anyone going on the internet has to expect bad stuff. cvg go one further, volunteering to censor bad words incase their mammies forgot to activate the AOL swear filter. get a grip.

well done...you now look like a total chavtastic layabout who needs to get a life and a bar of soap down their throat. Swearing for swearings sake is neither big..nor clever. a bit like both your brain and penis!

(See i was expressive of my opinion and insulting on a much greater level without resorting to one swear word)

I knew you'd latch on to one of the lowest review scores. Razz

Seriously though, most other reviews are much more positive, suggesting at the very least, that everyone will find the game experience very different. Just play it first is all I'm saying.

That OXM review was badly written though in fairness! Not necessarily arguing with the score though, since I don't know yet! Smile

There will be too many possibilites of different play throughs with the game (in a good way). I can see Fable 2 being the kind of game that I spend a lot of time with initailly but also a game that I will go back to over the year ahead for a different story and experience. Cant Wait!

I can't recall ever seeing you talking positively about any game at all...
cjw101 on 22 Oct '08
He's a soppy ego centred fool looking for cheap advertising absolutely everywhere. The game has enough hype as it is, it will get the sales without all this.
Loads of games have huge stories and huge worlds-they're not hard to review if the reviewer can actually write.

I didn't just latch onto the lowest score, I just read the first review that I physically got in a magazine. And it probably only seemed badly written to somebody who wants Fable 2 to be the best game ever (*cough*Stonecold*cough*).

It just saved me Ł40.00.

Oh there you go again little Mogs, sticking it to the man, well done! I'm sure Peter, who is merely a man who loves games, will never make a game again after your prudent evaluation of Lionhead's latest baby. You’re such an activist.

I for one second your valuable opinion. THOUGH I WOULD HAVE LIKE IT MORE IF YOU'D USED CAPITALS AGAIN AS I FEEL THAT MAKES YOUR POINT MORE VALID!

So why not read other reviews rather than basing whether or not you buy it on the first review you read? Seems strange to me, but hey, its your money. Sounds like you will be missing out in a great game to be honest!

I'm not discounting the points made in the OXM review, it just didn't read well to me.

The lack of dying in the game doesn't put me off because I can set my own challenges, like, saying "ok, I dont want my character to get scarred in this next battle" etc.

I know the eurogamer is a gushing 10, but it does have some good points in that regard.

As someone who already has the game (see tag 'Darth Cell'), I can say this game easily deserves all the hype and positive reviews its gathered over the last few days.
The UK OXM review is a shambles and while it does have a point with the sometimes unstable framerate, apart from that its an absolute gem and I've lost hours to the game over the last day or two.
As for the whole 'you can't die' thing, I actually find it a brilliant touch. Basically you loose all the XP upto that point and if you do get knocked out, your body will be permantly scarred making you look like an ugly bastard. Also saves the frustration of doing the same thing over and over again meaning you're constantly moving forwards.
You can also understand Peter getting abit emotional as imagine the time and effort he's put into this game. The original was slated for not realizing promises but this time the reviews have been glowing and rightly so.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this, along with Gears 2, LBP and Fallout 3 are THE games to own and will all certainly be GOTY contenders.
vulcanraven01 on 22 Oct '08
Though I am sure this has been pointed out in other reviews, what difference is just not dying in a fight to you actually dying and then just doing the same thing over again until you eventually get past the sticking point?

Yes it does come across as a little easy, but at least it cuts out the tedium of having to go to a previous save a la Oblivion, that didn’t punish you for dying, just made you walk the same path again, any game where you can save is the same…

And to the little pup K9, have you even mentioned the game yet? Or have you just gone on about how you can swear in here if you pluralise profanity?

That's what I've been hearing from some of the other lucky ones that have managed to get it early. It's a game that I've been looking forward to, but I had a few doubts about whether it'd meet Molyneuxs expectations - obviously it has.

Smile

k109 - instead of sitting there moaning about how your swearing is filtered out (which is a good thing), why don't you just p*** off to another site? - don't you ever get the feeling that might just be incredibly unwelcome here?

Woah horsey. Where the Hell is all this hate coming from? Fable was one of the biggest selling games last time round on the old Xbox, the majority of reviews I have read (and Ive read a few) comment on a few gripes or niggles but the majority say that they have had FUN playing the game. Which is kind of what I want as well.

I get it, all the Sony babies would have been playing LBP this weekend, and now there not. Of course you have to look for negatives and try to put down Gamers that are looking forward to playing a game.

Never even heard of Eurogamer so it would have been quite difficult for me to have read that review. Regardless, if an official magazine scores a game 8/10, then you know there must be problems. That's fine by me because now I can pick up Fallout 3, Dead Space or FarCry 2 instead.

I've not played Fable2, LBP or Gears 2 yet, but FarCry2 is a good contender for GOTY for me.

k109 - grow up, stop slating anything 360.

Fable2 isn't my preferred genre either, but I'm sure you'd be raving about it if it was on PS3.
kricca on 22 Oct '08
these type of games are for elf-loving lord of the rings fans. its the saddest genre of games. i can see you all with the rounded off specs and wizard hats. while your all casting your magic spells, ill be sniping faces off in far cry 2. enjoy.

Godamn - you're so cool...we're obviously all so envious that you're 'sniping peoples' faces off' in Far Cry 2 and we're all looking like some Harry Potter Convention refugee...now I see the error of my ways.

Well done k109 - you've managed to make youself look even dumber than usual.

Seriously - why don't all the rest of us just get a petition to get this a***-monkey banned?

Don't get so worked up Stonecold! For a start I've had LBP for over a week now and love it to death, so Fable 2 would have had to have been nigh on perfect for me to invest any of my precious time. Therefor, I'll save my Ł40.00 until I'm bored with LBP. I just have not got the time to invest in 2 massive games at the moment. Given the choice between LBP and Fable 2, then LBP just edges it.

Mark you realy should stop reading the oxm reviews they seem to have lost there way a long time ago.And as for not buying a game just because it scored an 8 means you'd better leave farcry2 and deadspace as they have both scored 8 (i.g.n)

The point I was making wasnt solely directed at you but more the first page in general. OK, I get it people dont want to buy the game but why do so many (and its always the sames ones) almost have pleasure in telling everyone.

If a game comes out on a platform I dont have, then I hope its good as it make a better case of getting that platform as I want to play games.

The thing that annoys me most about some of the folks here is that they revel in putting a game down. Jebus people, why? We all play games, shouldnt we want our fellow Gamers to have a good time, going by some of the comments on the 1st page then no. And thats just sad.

these type of games are for elf-loving lord of the rings fans. its the saddest genre of games. i can see you all with the rounded off specs and wizard hats. while your all casting your magic spells, ill be sniping faces off in far cry 2. enjoy.

Well done little puppy, you didn’t swear, you would get a cookie if it wasn’t for that fact that even though you seem to be deriding geeks with your anti Tolkien/Rowling stance, you have made yourself the biggest geek in geekdom by saying you’ll snipe peoples faces off, next you'll be saying 'pwn'. Naughty puppy.

never said "pwn" ever, not even sure what it is. its you that seems clued up on the geek-speak. shameful.

tolken is the LOTR author.. fair enough if you like the books. personally i hate that s**t.. but rowling?! that IS for kids. you.
k109 you've shocked me i thought you would have loved tolken seeing as your C.V.G's biggest TROLL Twisted Evil

It’s Tolkien little puppy, not Tolken, at least try to get something correct for god sake. I believe ‘pwn’ is the equivalent of ‘sniping faces off’ or whatever, I tend not to associate myself with such terminology as it is a vagrancy of the English language. Though I am sure you’re very aware of what it is, as you are indeed the type of little doglet that goes around barking that at people over forums at the like.

And yes JK Rowling did write the Harry Potter books for children, were you implying I am a child? I was once, alas I am one no longer, though much like Devendra Banhart I sometimes feel like one (note the ‘like’ in there, I do not feel children, much as you might want me to)

Fable 2 lol! i rate it 3 out of 10, plus the graphics remind me of a n64 game with an 8mb expansion pack upgrade.

i'll wait for superior Rpgs to arrive thank you, maybe ill have a look when the inivitable enhanced pc version is released, then it might be bearable.

Oh well, there goes my last chance to buy an Xbox360, especially since gears of war 2 just looks like updated patch of the 1st average game Laughing

Probably a good place for you to start then.....I would pay close attention to the use of 'there', 'they're' and 'their' - additionally, you may also want to check 'your' and 'you're' (if you get stuck, ask an adult).

Alternatively, you could also seek the 'Roger Red-Hat' and 'Billy Blue-Hat' books - I'm not sure that anyone gets their 'face sniped off', but you may learn something from them.

Offical xbox 360 mag opinions are generally pretty sh!te

I'm still not sure about this game anyway but i think just the one playthrough may be to miss the point entirely with Fable - it works on many levels i'm sure and so SOME of the reviews regardless of if they are even positive, have not fully inderstood what they have in Fable2

Anyway we shall all see soon enough

i like peter. he's fun and he's honest (yes HONEST, what he said about Fable 1 was the ideas being thrown around. so he was kinda being honest about what they were planning, he was just stupid about it, which is why he toned it down for this game.)

i mean who cares if he's not the only guy on the Lionhead team. Does anyone say that Steven Spielberg thinks he's a god because nobody mentions the casting director or producers of his films? Sound designer, special effects supervisor, WRITER! nope, nobody mentions them, and yet nobody's throwing rocks at spielberg.

Seriously, writers should get far more recognition in movies, TV and radio... and more money. they say that you dont become a writer for the pension plan, well i think that should change. without writers, where would we be?

I recently read the OXM UK review and it certainly sounds like Fable 2 has its faults. The most frustrating part of it is that most of the faults are technical; from bad slowdown and glitches to buggy menus.

I'm also not keen on the fact that you cannot die during combat, instead losing a bit of EXP and returning to the scrap. I've said this before and I'll say it again, I always get bored of games with a lack of challenge.

Even the money side of things sounds like a waste of time before too long.

I may actually wait and see if the developers release a patch in the coming months before I part with my cash.

I may sound a bit harsh, but in a game that swallows up massive amounts of time I really need to know that I am definitely going to enjoy the game. Oblivion disappointed me with the enemies that grew in strength with my hero and Fable 2 sounds like another game that is trying to please too many casual types with its simplicity.

I knew you'd latch on to one of the lowest review scores. Razz

Seriously though, most other reviews are much more positive, suggesting at the very least, that everyone will find the game experience very different. Just play it first is all I'm saying.

That OXM review was badly written though in fairness! Not necessarily arguing with the score though, since I don't know yet! Smile

I didn't just latch onto the lowest score, I just read the first review that I physically got in a magazine. And it probably only seemed badly written to somebody who wants Fable 2 to be the best game ever (*cough*Stonecold*cough*).

It just saved me Ł40.00.

So why not read other reviews rather than basing whether or not you buy it on the first review you read? Seems strange to me, but hey, its your money. Sounds like you will be missing out in a great game to be honest!

I'm not discounting the points made in the OXM review, it just didn't read well to me.

The lack of dying in the game doesn't put me off because I can set my own challenges, like, saying "ok, I dont want my character to get scarred in this next battle" etc.

I know the eurogamer is a gushing 10, but it does have some good points in that regard.

Never even heard of Eurogamer so it would have been quite difficult for me to have read that review. Regardless, if an official magazine scores a game 8/10, then you know there must be problems. That's fine by me because now I can pick up Fallout 3, Dead Space or FarCry 2 instead.

You've never heard of Eurogamer?!! Laughing

And the "Official OXM Mag US" gave it 9.5, so there's clearly some room to account for personal taste with the game.

Check Metacritic,they got 32 reviews of Fable 2.

The game critics love the game,i cant wait to Fri to play it,and im not ashamed off it either.

sorry to but in but i think he was stating a fact. In LBP you play as sackboy a funny fully customisable muppet thing. I think hes rather cool.

I think the point he was trying to make is that the flagship titles for the 360 this year are more adult than the PS3s more family orientated line up.

If i had a kid i'd buy em LBP but i probably wouldn't choose to get them Fable and definately not Gears 2.

No he didn’t, no where in anything did he knock the game, he said you play as a stuffed toy, that is a statement of fact, is it not? I saw no derogatory tone in what he said, he merely was rebuking the little puppy K9 for calling Fable a kids game, where previously he has been extolling the virtues of LittleBigPlanet, which is fronted by a stuffed toy known as Sackboy.

That is not knocking the lovely game that it is, you see that large thing on your shoulder, it’s a chip, just brush it off or consume it and you might be a lot happier.

LBP is a very smart game and has balls... unlike someone... like the maker of fable - big cat moved to tears over the reviews... a reflection on the type of player.

MMO's are for sad c**ts, they pay for the game, then pay again to play it. a preposterous theory, now where have i heard that again?

create your own level with your own rules, upload it to the world or don your witches hat a brew a potion?...

How can somebody be so damn stupid. You say something perfectly intelligent for once. Then show your ignorance

Do you actually know what Fable is about? Have you even read anything about it? It doesn’t seem like so though, as you’ve proved before little puppy, that is hardly going to stop you spouting nonsense.

Yes LittleBigPlanet is a game pitched at all ages, and it thoroughly deserved most of the praise is received, though I am not sure how many people will put in the time and effort needed on the level editor to make a truly exceptional level. Not that that matters though when I am sure there will be a percentage who do and who will make it available to all via download.

Anyway, it is ridiculous to even attempt to compare the two games when they are so very different. Now heel little puppy, before you make a mess.

For one thing, your previous claim was written before that post went up, and secondly all do is ask the little puppy if he has read much about Fable…not once did I become defensive about it, asking questions is about exploration and discovery, not becoming aggressive or protective like yourself.

I’m pretty sure he didn’t actually slag off the game there, he just said you control stuffed toys, which you do, Sackboy has been a poster sack for the game for some time. What’s the issue here?

May not have slagged it but he knocked it.

I in now way tried to 'knock' the game.
I own all 3 consoles and LBP is hands down my most saught after PS3 game for the remainder of the year.
All I did was show the irony of the users comment by pointing out the fact that LBP consists of stuffed toy's as characters.
If in some way you find that offense then maybe LBP isn't the game for you if you care about outer appearance and how cool or uncool it may make you look by playing it...

I am a 35 year old gamer. I love football. I love cars. I love women. I love LBP. I couldn't give a s**t if it had baby rabbits dressed in flowery dungarees, I'd still love it. In the same way that I love Toy Story, Shrek and Monsters Inc. Somethings just appeal to all ages, and those with a problem are the same people who deny themselves the pleasure of fun and laughter. A bit like some of you miserable, argumentative bastards.

But can I just say, I did laugh at some of those previous comments. Handbags, ladys?

LBP may have a kids look on the exterior but it aint a kids game. its for creative people looking for something different.

who wouldnt want to play "super mario bros for the 21st century"? mario is one game that is for all ages, everyone loves it.

LBP is a very smart game and has balls... unlike someone... like the maker of fable - big cat moved to tears over the reviews... a reflection on the type of player.

MMO's are for sad c**ts, they pay for the game, then pay again to play it. a preposterous theory, now where have i heard that again?

create your own level with your own rules, upload it to the world or don your witches hat a brew a potion?...

How can somebody be so damn stupid. You say something perfectly intelligent for once. Then show your ignorance
Who cares if mr molyneux is a bit of a k**b he has been consistantly producing fantastic games for over a decade.

I think personally i'd rather just play mario than LBP its like spore is bound to turn into the biggest sausage fest the world has ever seen.

So how big is your virtual penis monster k109. bet your really getting of on all the homoerotisim flying about.

what!? are you on the crack mate?! sounds like your a 360 owner. and a jealous one.

any sausage fest thats going on, you can be sure its over xbox live. whispering dirty things into the earpeice of your fellow co-pilots. you sicken me sir!!!

Sorry to tell you buddy but i own all three consoles and have already gotten hold of a copy of LBP. Owning all three i can have a fair and just opinion of all three systems . Like everyone i have my preferences.

I use them all for what i think they were made for. The 360 for shooters and like , The wii for fun multiplayer stuff and ps3 as a very good blu ray/dvd player.

Dude don't ever leave the forums. you brighten my day. entertaining me with how utterly pathetic some sad fan boys are. I don't think you even bother going on the ps3 ones to see what's coming out on ytour machine of choice.

you sad pathetic waste of virtual ink.

haha you already own it. hands up who believes that?? the epitome of fanboy hit outs. pretend to own the product in question in an attempt to bolster credibility... Embarassed

I do coz its sitting snug in my ps3 at the minute.
Since you know so much about gameing and games machines you'd realise that LBP came out in america a few weeks ago and you'd also realise that your Ps3 isn't region locked and therefore it is entirely possible for it to play games form anywhere in the world.

And on the subject of fanboy credibility you'd know all about that wouldn't ya!

If this game is aimed at creative people you realy need to give this one a miss i think.

if the game is good then the design doesnt matter. im sure LBP would work just the same with different skins. in fact you can change the appearance of your character.

south park isnt for kids, though it may look like it from a distance..

I think you’re steering away from what people were saying, no-one aside from yourself said it looking childish was a problem. Like Mark with many numbers said, a game can look like the teletubbies for all I care, as long as it is fun to play, which I know LBP is and I’m pretty sure that Fable II is. Never judge a book by its cover K9!

sorry son wrong again, i'm not the only guy who got a copy on this site. Go look on ebay if you want. It got recalled, If your tiny mind can't comprehend the swirly shapes called letters on the page i'll explin. It was out in the states and was then pulled from store shelves after it was released.

Do you even own a PS3 or just dream about it.

I am a 35 year old gamer. I love football. I love cars. I love women. I love LBP. I couldn't give a s**t if it had baby rabbits dressed in flowery dungarees, I'd still love it. In the same way that I love Toy Story, Shrek and Monsters Inc. Somethings just appeal to all ages, and those with a problem are the same people who deny themselves the pleasure of fun and laughter. A bit like some of you miserable, argumentative bastards.

But can I just say, I did laugh at some of those previous comments. Handbags, ladys?

Totally agree with your first point. Sadly alot of people judge games on appearance.
Even though LBP is probably the best exclusive on PS3, it probably won't sell as well as it should because of its appearance.
Although your last comment is abit ironic as it wasn't too long ago that you were the resident PS3 fanboy here until you eventually gave in a got a 360. Wink
Anyway, hopefully the clowns like k109 and Suivaloom learn from your example.

I recently read the OXM UK review and it certainly sounds like Fable 2 has its faults. The most frustrating part of it is that most of the faults are technical; from bad slowdown and glitches to buggy menus.

I'm also not keen on the fact that you cannot die during combat, instead losing a bit of EXP and returning to the scrap. I've said this before and I'll say it again, I always get bored of games with a lack of challenge.

Even the money side of things sounds like a waste of time before too long.

I may actually wait and see if the developers release a patch in the coming months before I part with my cash.

I may sound a bit harsh, but in a game that swallows up massive amounts of time I really need to know that I am definitely going to enjoy the game. Oblivion disappointed me with the enemies that grew in strength with my hero and Fable 2 sounds like another game that is trying to please too many casual types with its simplicity.

I knew you'd latch on to one of the lowest review scores. Razz

Seriously though, most other reviews are much more positive, suggesting at the very least, that everyone will find the game experience very different. Just play it first is all I'm saying.

That OXM review was badly written though in fairness! Not necessarily arguing with the score though, since I don't know yet! Smile

I didn't just latch onto the lowest score, I just read the first review that I physically got in a magazine. And it probably only seemed badly written to somebody who wants Fable 2 to be the best game ever (*cough*Stonecold*cough*).

It just saved me Ł40.00.

I thought from your past posts you waited until quite a few reviews came in before making a decision. Or is that only regards to PS3 games (when you called a mag childish for a poor PS3 game review)?

I do agree with Stonecold on one point, same old comments from the same old people. Me I'm not fussed about Fable 2 (as I can only get Fallout 3 this side of Xmas). Looks ok as action RPG'S go though and has been getting some pretty decent reviews the ones I have seen have been between 8 and 9. Will pick this up sometime though.

Petr Molyneux is a shameless a**hole because he sold his soul to M$

I would respect him if he hadn't lay in bed with the devil, but that is exactly what he is doing and worse - he is enjoying himself

Well seeing as three of the big autumn exclusives are out and are ranked in descending order as: LBP (looks really great and original and seems to have lived up to the promise for once), Fable 2 (sounds great, RPG's don't appeal to everyone and there are some tech issues) and Motostorm (average sequel to an average game - it was never going to set the world alight and is just Excite Truck without the fun controls!). Can't we just all get along and call it a draw and a great/expensive time to be a console owner?

I would enjoy myself IF there weren't a blanket media campaign policy on the CVG website to promote the Xbox

Everytime I click on the f*cking page there are

* Microsoft sales figures
* Microsoft sales figures in Japan ('Hell Freezing Over In Japan' headline used 3 times, demeaning the diminutive Japs)
* Picking and choosing of the best multi-platform games and review the 360 version and display the green logo at the top of the page as if the PS3 version does not even exist
* 'analysts' under the pay of M$ predicting nonsense and propaganda
* More editing M$ propaganda

You know I've been reading CVG for over 10 years so when I speak the editor and community fave Gav listens. I'm sure we can bring back more impartiality to this website working from feeback from the loyal fans

The world is so big and the story and gameplay are enormous. How reviewers manage to distil such an experience into a few pages is incredible," Peter Molyneux told CVG this morning.

I think we can safely assume that reviewers have only scratched the surface of a game like this, in a rush to be first to review it.

Close your filthy trap you bloody old bag

It was me that turned the tide of abuse in SONY's favour on this once heavily infiltrated xbot haven of a gaming forum.

Now, because I acted, look at them all, absolutely marvellous to see them spread their wings and fight back, after I'd given them a voice

So don't give me bloody aggro now the bag is on the other foot, and YOU are the one getting bashed for no reason

Suivaloom
Swi-va-loom
1. An argumentative, unitelligent, unintelligable Sony fanboy
2. A type of frog

You remember, don't you? Very Happy

This thread has amazed me. How many cretinous pro-Sony numb-skulls have come to this thread to slag off the game or Peter himself? Are PS3 reviews this dogged?
Why shouldn't Molyneux be proud of what he's created, and be emotional when critics praise his game? You think Media Molecule are proud of what they achieved with Little Big Planet, and how much praise it's recieving? And as they bloody well should be.

I'm beginning to wonder how many game fans actually come to this site - it's clear to me that a great many frequenters (read as 'morons') don't like games at all, instead, they seem to favour a console - whether thats a 360, a PS3 or a Wii. NONE OF WHICH, yes, NONE of them would be anything without the games on them - most of which are c**king multi-sodding-format anyway!

Coming to this place is like re-enacting 'One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest'. Daily.

Someone please drop a nuke on this thread...that way 80% of the Sony bum-lickers will be taken out in one swift move.

What I can never understand is why a fanboy would be disappointed in a game that is featured on another system when they have no intention of ever owning the console in question! It can only be jealousy, the inability to own both consoles or that they are really interested in brand names as opposed to a good game.

Funny how it's always the PS3 fanboys who are involved with these arguments too. I'm sure everyone will notice that the only people throwing insults around are the Sony fans, no-one is slagging Sony or the PS3 off yet just look at these zealots go lol.

They are obviously disappointed to not have the opportunity to play the game or they wouldn't be here crying their eyes out.

Me? I hate RPG's therefore I will never play Fable II. I'd rather play GT5p and that is one crappy attempt at a driving game....but I'm perfectly capable of taking a step back and acknowledging a good game regardless of the system it appears on. The PS3 fanboys need to grow up...and fast.

I think you mean Molyneux. Peter Moore is the EA Sports Pres (ex MS employee).

Ah, enough of all this. I may just have to buy a PS3 after all.

They've added David Hasselhoff to Pain and he's even recorded a version of Culture Clubs' 'Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?' to go with it.

Genius.

Hmmm, I don't think old Petey is the only one getting "incredibly emotional".

I say fair play to PM. I have been a big critic of his but despite my skepticism of fable 2 the reviews suggest it's the game we all hoped it would be. Credit where credit is due. Now can you make BC please!

Smile I think he'll soldier on, the brave little tyke that he is.

Still, it's looking fairly solid:

Yes, you're quite right, I mean to say Molyneux but I thought of 'the other one' . There's too many Peters in the headlines now. Well, there's two but...

I'll lie if anyone asks.

Hi, Im new to this site and i know this is gonna sound rude me being new and all but it has to be said

1. K109, ur a retard with no morals and from what you posted your obviously a complete jackass. ever heard the phrase 'Each to their own' no? it means everyone likes different things, everyone has different opinions and we should respect that and not slag everyone off who doesnt like the same thing as yourself. Also the ppl who have compared themselves to you, are correct, they are better than you. its ppl like you who drag society down, y all the hate and lack of reason, there is jus no need. Get a life and grow up

2. I dno y ppl are slating Peter Molyneux, the mans a genius and makes gr8 games, its completely understandable that he got emotional, he dedicated most of his time to this game, and so did the Development team they were probably emotional too. u crnt say a whole company is gay jus because they are succsesful. WELL DONE LIONHEAD

3. Im studying Video games production at college and i gotta say Fable 2 is gr8, LBP on the other hand i dnt like, i went to a promo shop they opened to advertise it, played 2 games and thought it was a bag of dog turd. i dno how ppl can compare the 2 their in totally different leagues. But as i said above, each to their own and i respect that ppl do like LBP

4. i own Xbox and PS3 and i noticed that some ppl were critisizing the Xbox 360. Y? is it because u picked the worst of the 2 consoles and are now stuck and gettin jealous off ppl with 360? i just dnt get it! there isnt even that much difference between them, just subtle things that make 360 better, alot of the games that are out are on both so what the problem.

5. I think the ppl who dnt own a copy of Fable 2 should actuall go and rent it or see if a m8 has it because its fun for most, thats what the customization is all about to make it better for different ppl.
Dont knock it untill u've tred it, especially u K109 u need to grow up BIG TIME
