Fuck that.

If people want to give Kojima flak for not being able to talk about the cutscene length, then we're going to give him flak on co-op.

Bull.

Molyneux is asking.  In fact, the impression I get is that he knows the reviews will be great in their own right, but feels that allowing a casual to play the game will unveil additional delights hardcore reviewers would miss.

I'm not really too concerned with the impression you get, I'm talking about what is stated.

Kojima got flak for MGS4 review consideration, so he will get flak in equal or greater value.  Period.

And what is stated is completely out of step with your interpretation.

What Molyneux said is this:

“I have a favour to ask you — we built this game not only to appeal to gamers like yourself, but to appeal to anybody. So please, please, please, please, please find somebody who doesn’t play games, watch them play it and see how their world turns out, because I think it’s only when you see those differences that the unique experiences comes through.”

The co-op thing was simply him outlining the feature.  Tell me DMeisterJ, where in there does it say reviewers are not allowed to review the game if they don't take account of Molyneux's considerations?

He's obviously not going to be as absolute as Kojima was with MGS4, as he saw the flak it got.  So saying "please" doesn't make it any different.  He's asking for the same kind of special consideration.

As someone has already said, he has a reputation for promising much, and delivering none. So he wants someone who hasn't played his games, or sipped his juice, so that when we see how much he has over promised and undelivered (hopefully not ^_^) they don't fault him for it.

Sorry.  Not buying this B.S.  

We gave Kojima flak, he's getting some too.  It's the same thing.
