I don't see how people are surprised that he critics his own game. It should be done more often, in my audition for a small time symphony one of the winning auditioners actually records his auditions. After a studio recital I realized the mistakes in my playing, and I'm ashamed about them. It's only through knowing and accepting mistakes can a person evolve and become better at what they do.

I agree with your concept... it's good to evaluate ourselves on a regular basis.

However,  I would prefer *not* to know all of the flaws in music, movies, or a story-based game ahead of time.  If someone had pointed out the many flaws in the Lord of the Rings movies to me in advance (characters' horses changing, mistakes in coreography, etc.), then I would have focused on those things instead of getting lost in the experience.

Yes, I will notice some flaws on my own, but I would rather not have the experience annotated in this way.  Perhaps Peter should have just done a quiet self-evaluation and left the judging to the players.

Just my $.02.

The way he's acting is a fair bit better then he use to act. And it still annoys me when people think he meant it was a 9/10 game. He meant that in regards to how it fulfills his original vision. Hopefully that vision means its a 9/10 game :P Its certainly looking that good.
