As someone has already said, he has a reputation for promising much, and delivering none.

 

 

That's bogus. Internet entheusiasts may complain about how much they hated Fable, but it was a good game in my opinion, with good reviews from most. Not every game that isn't AAA is "none." I don't know if you played it, but I really liked it, and if you ask me, I have better tastes than half the trolls around here, at least.

Anyway, yeah, a game doesn't have to score AAA to be considered better than nothing. I find it ignorant for people to consider Fable, Uncharted, and Rachet and Clank Future, "nothing," just because they didn't breach that 90 percent marker on gamerankings, and have a few flaws that the internet decided to tout.

Molyneux is really excited about his game. He gave a note that says a main feature will be released after the review period. That's flamable, if you're into pretending to be upset about stuff that you are actually excited about, since by degree it helps the PS3.

What isn't flamable is saying that Molyneux promised a great game with Fable 1 and delivered nothing. That's ignorant. He promised the best game of all time, and just delivered a good-average game, depending on your opinion. He made no such promises this time around. It appears that his reputation has even become apparent to him, and he's refrained from such braggartry, even giving Fable 2 himself a 9/10, which I'm sure in his eyes was under-rating it.

Flaming him for faux outrage and pretending like you care about anything but a 360 exclusive getting poor reviews, is fine. I don't care how many people you get to buy it. Propogandize all day. This game will probably end up with 85% and it won't be a threat to Sony. Good for Sony fans. They'll be able to justify not buying it, and pretend that it sucks when they discuss it with all their interent fanfriends. That's fine with me.

However, don't embellish. It's obvious to everyone, and it marginalizes your own posts.

I agree that Fable wass not nothing, especially considering all the other games out there. However, Peter made it sound as if Fable would be the be all end all game and that it's not a AAA but a AAAA game. PLaying through it I don't think he fulfilled even a half, maybe a quarter, of his grandiose plans. It's an alright, mediocre game, but then again I'm poor and I can't afford to buy every game therefore my standards are slightly higher than people with easier acess to video games. The problem was that he pulled the exact same crap with B&W and B&W2 as well. They were mediocre games, definetly not bad, just not even close to what he wass promising. So with respect only to his promises, he nearly delivered nothing. Now he, apparently, has taken the route of shipping unfinished games. I hate that practice from developers and hence I'm hoping that reviewers score the game less because of failure to deliver and maybe some devs will see it as a good example of what happens when they release before they have everything they promised and have the game nice and polished.
