Molyneux Calls Fable 2 Messy and Rushed

[Xerosch]

Hmm... he's just saying this because he's got 'Fable 3' coming out soon.

 

[Booze Zombie]

I like that he's willing to admit that there's problems with Fable 2 and that he wants them fixed and he even admits not all of them are fixable.

I'm already planning on buying the game, of course, but it's nice to know that the people behind it seriously want to it be good.

Well at least he didn't big up fable 3 too much. Funnily enough criticising the game gained more respect from me than anything else he's done.

I see Molyneux is off his meds again. Or on them. I'm never entirely sure. It just seems that the man will spout just about anything, at any point, and actually believes that Milo is a real boy.

He is they've trapped him in the T.V.

Lionhead could easily make an all time great game, if only they afforded themselves the time to do it. Fable 3 will disappoint in ways Fable 2 could only dream of disappointing. Just before Fable 4, we'll be hearing Peter saying he wasn't happy with how Fable 3 turned out. It's always the same with you Molyneux.

Well, the non-cynical, airy fairy part of me thinks "great, at least they're acknowledging that Fable 2 was a piss-poor performance in many respects, maybe Fable 3 will be better"

But then the sensible side of me points out that he's just admitted that they released a game that they knew was sub-standard, so why should I believe they won't do the same thing again?! No way am I chancing £40-ish on such a gamble. Not after Fable 2.

if loadtimes are the worst the game has
its going to be great game

Here is what I saw in that article:

Peter Molyneux, in a surprising move that nobody expected since he hasn't done it like 15 times, has criticized his last game, and promises his next game will fix everything, he is cashing in his absolutely flawless "honest guy" reputation to get players to buy the next game on a leap of faith, he also promises it will be in orgasmo-vision, feature Milo the dog who is more intelligent than you, and can transport you into the realm of imagination where you can ride dinosaurs in an experience indistinguishable from real life

Lying asshole.

Isn't the same with Fable 1?

I never liked Fable, the games always felt messy and rushed. But at least he agrees with this. Maybe Fable 3 will be different, but I do not have my hopes too high, somewhere in the center of the earth like every one of my hopes.

Honestly, this is how he's always been with Fable 1.
He claimed Fable 1 was perfect, and that everyone who hated the game had no idea what they were talking about.
He then announces fable 2. How? By bashing Fable 1 and saying its crap. Fable 2 then was claimed, by him, to be "The summary of my career". Of course, obviously, he claims Fable 2 to be perfect and everyone who hates it to have no idea what they are talking about.
And thus, when Fable 3 was announced, he bashed Fable 2 calling it utter crap and of course, this article (which eerily sounds like what he said about 1 after 2 came out...). He's claiming 3 will be the epitome of his career.

You still interested in fable? Just copy paste "Fable X is perfect. Then Fable Y is perfect and X is utter crap, that is until Fable Z is announced, then Y is crap as well". Thats how his marketing scheme works at least.

Indeed that's how Molyneux works. I wonder who is interested in Fable 3, because I certainly am not.

 

[KSarty]

Peter Molyneux, admiting that his game is short of perfection?!?

REPENT!!! THE END IS NIGH!!!

He always does afterwards, the problem is he really doesn't learn from the mistakes that were made.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

I love the Fable games, I personly think the second one was better then the 1st.
Looking forward to 3, blocking out the sound of Molynuex.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I love you Petuh Molyneux, cause it sounds like you are going to be releasing on of the best games off all time

 

[Supernova2000]

'Messy and rushed'. Well then, that also applies to Fable 1 because Fable 2 is just Fable 1 with a dog added! I liked the 1st game but the 2nd just seemed pointless to me.

 

[Outamyhead]

At least he's being honest.

He was praising the game before release, and all the neat new stuff it had...anyone can smack talk a product that made them money, especially when the new one is on it's way.
