I hate Peter Molyneux games. Not because they're bad- they're usually solid to excellent games, but he hypes them so much that I am always disappointed with the final product.
Fable II was one of my biggest disappointments of all time. I see Fable III is attempting to top it!
This is incredible. How much more bs can these PR kings come up with before people start realizing that you can't trust the guy behind the counter.
Oh, people, and the stuff you do with your free time.

If he uses the word 'revolutionary' one more time I will personally take a crap in his stocking this Christmas.
Will I be able to plan an acorn and watch it grow into a mighty oak tree? Because it's been two games so far and I haven't been able to do that yet, and you PROMISED I could do that in the first game.
Once again, I'll ignore all this silly re-invention talk, and enjoy The Fable series for what it is - simple, fun adventure games. As long as it's not ruined by Natal :-(
Molynuex has had plenty of chances to "learn his lesson." He's so dense he can't.
Really, though, when people come out and constantly pat themselves on the back about thier games like Molyneux or the people over at Quantic Dreams, Bioware and Tony Hawk tend to do, it has this interesting effect on me:
I don't buy their games.
These people just need to be a little more humble.

Here we go again.
(1) A new Fable game is announced
(2) Concept art. The bitching begins.
(3)Peter Molyneux hypes games. The BS level reaches nearly dangerous levels from just about everyone.
(4)Peter Molyneux defends his BS with more BS.
(5) Peter Molyneux disappears.
(6) Fables is released. Some people like it. Some people don't.
(7) Allow 1-2 years and repeat.
I for one love Fable but it is by far the best thing on earth. I think if Molyneux shot his mouth off less more people would enjoy his games for what they are and stop foaming at the mouth when they see a Lionhead logo. I've always just ignored him and played the games.

I'm gonna put this out there now. You'll have to have sex in front of the Natal camera in order to have a kid in Fable III.
I could never grasp how people thought these games were good. Oh well. They sell a shit ton of copies, so someone has to like them, right?
I bought Fable 2 and I hated it.
First, there is no real punishment or incentive to be either good or bad.
Second, the difficult of the game is ridiculous (like my english) and third, the controls were very bad and I missed the mini-map. To find something, you have to open the menu, then open the map, then mark it just to get there. With the mini-map of the first one, I didn't remember to waste that much of time. I played the first one on the pc and just loved it, then I played the second on the 360 (like everyone ele) and just missed the keyboard for my expressions (I want to fart in front of my enemy again!). I felt kinda lost with all those sub-menus.
And I have to mention that the graphics are almost the same of the first one.

He is guilty of hyperbole, but to be fair to the man, he's made some of the funnest games I've ever played. Bullfrog will forever hold a dear place in my heart, and I cannot think of a single game involving Molyneux that has been an outright turkey. His CV is impressive, even if the self-appointed all-knowing D-toid council of the videogame universe would like to pretend not.
The second one was okay. Nothing revolutionary...unless you believe "dance or fart until villagers like you" to be cutting-edge gameplay enhancements.
I wonder if people would have been more receptive to it had PM not hyped it as the second-coming of RPGs.
Also...that ending sucked balls.

I'm not going to get to bent out of shape out of this, as anyone familiar with him knows his history in regards to these types of statements.
Personally, Fable II was one of my favorite games last year. It was awesome. I even thought the atypical ending was kind of awesome.
End of day, I don't care what he says, the outcome will be another sweet game.

fable was a good game...short as fuck but good. fable 2 can lick the sweat off of my taint. i got that game a few weeks ago and personally think it pales in comparison to part 1. the fact that xplay gave it game of the year makes me lose even more faith in humanity. molyneux ranks in my top 10 of fuckheads i would like to fight along with kanye west, george bush, and the jersey shore cast.
If I had a calendar I'd be marking it right now: I 100% agree with what x1251 said. AND, I even like his avatar.
Where the fuck am I? Bizarro World?

1 month from now: "This will change gaming forever"
2 months from now: "Never before have gamers had such moral choices"
3 months from now: "Don't bother buying Fable 1 or 2"
4 months from now: "Never before has a game been so complex and simple"
Release Day: "gets 8's and 9's with no mention of this Revolution"
4 months later: "I may have over stated things a bit, sorry again, but fabel 4 is gonna blow your fucking mind"

@ Silent Protagonist- I sincerely hope you're joking. To make game purchasing decisions based upon anything other than te quality of the game and how much you expect to enjoy it is ridiculous. I don't care if BioWare says Mass Effect 2 fucked my mom or if David Cage says Heavy Rain will cure cancer...if a game looks good I'm buying it.
Hey come on guys......remember the way Fable 2 revolutionised the games industry and everybody haled Peter Molyneux as a god amongst men.....remember that...

That's what happens when people who make things are put in front of a camera. People judge the creator and not the creation.
It's not nearly as bad here as it is in the music industry fortunately.

Let us start an online petition that makes Molyneux pay money or something for every promise he makes about the game and ends up not being in the final product
What a great headline.
@akathatoneguy:
Hypothetical game, programmed by Zombie Hitler, where you shovel Jews into a furnace. People call it the most revolutionary and enjoyable game ever made, despite the subject material. All profit goes toward funding the Zombie Nazi war machine. Do you buy it?

Next, Peter Molyneux will say that Fable III is going to rid the world of pedophilia. It's all part of his master scheme to get people to buy Natal and Milo, which will make people into pedophiles, and then the only way for them to stop their disgusting behavior will be to buy Fable III.
I'm sorry, but you have to be a moron to publish anything this clown touches after "Black & White", or "Black & White 2". Shit ass broken sandbox games.
I went into Fable 2 like a year after it came out, and completely missed the hype train on it. It was really fun, I felt like it was the closest thing to a Zelda game my 360 would get, and the magic system was pretty fun.That said, Molyneux is a huge doucher and makes himself sound more an asshole every time he opens his mouth. I would still be interested in Fable 3 if it wasn't Natal.
"...I'm long past falling for his nonsense." Agreed. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...oh fuck!
Some one tell Peter to shut the hell up, I do not live to far away from Lion Head Studios I will shut him up myself if I have to his hype always ruins things
@akathatoneguy - I just kinda of like developers who will, at times, admit the flaws of their games and strive to improve upon them. When they're all "I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am" then you've quite frankly lost me.
I call it the Management Effect. Blank stare, insincere smile, clammy limp handshake. I know what it is because I've seen it all my adult life and I don't like it. I'll put up with it if it pays the bills, but will I give my money to a bullshitter? Hell no.
