I don't understand why everyone is giving Starcraft so much flack? Fable2 being the 08 RPG of the year is his opinion. Can he not have an opinion? Sure, the fact of the matter is that Fallout3 (and probably Too Human) will probably humiliate Fable2 in terms of every gameplay mechanics, story, graphics and design but that doesn't mean the man can't have an opinion.... does it?!

I can tell you why he catching so much flack. Fable 1 was hugely hyped and it did not meet those expectations. Molyneaux made grand promises about features of the game that weren't present in the final product. Starcraft is catching flack because Molyneaux lost a lot of credibility with his original Fable claims and most people are taking a wait and see approach to Fable 2. Its the same issue I take with the Killzone 2 hype. The original game didn't live up to expectations so its a bit foolish to assume the sequel will. Its possible that Fable 2 will actually do what its predecessor could not, but most aren't willing to make that assumption.

I actually think he's being somewhat sarcastic about his RPG of 08 claims, but I don't see what wrong with someone that thinks a game has GOTY potential, whether its Fable2,KZ2,etc. As long as that person isn't trying to shove it down other people's throats in an attempt to make that opinion a fact, the person shouldn't get harrassed for making an opinion.
