Peter Molyneux Is "Ashamed" Of Fable III's Scores
- Thread starter vansau

he is never satifised at the moment his new game is announced. i thought fable 3 was awful. with a doubt the worst game last year.
Um....he should be ashamed because the game is utter trash and you can literally tell they removed things to offer as dlc...
Peter I love you and your games. I just love that fantasy setting. But they need work big time, and the kinect one I'm not too pleased with it being an on rails. Or at least thats what it looked like at E3.
It was ultimately not a very satisfying game. The combat was way too easy and not challenging at all, the story was ok, and I feel that his understanding of economics and politics is non-existent, so the ruling section was very badly done.
He hasn't made a good game in while, so he should try something new, or stop making games. Also, he is not an artist, he is just really accepting that everyone thinks his work is subpar. Yay for humility I guess.

I saw Fable 3 as a step backwards from Fable 2. The only real improvement was on magical combat but the melee and ranged combat was more or less the same. The marriage aspects are more or less the same and I can't wait until the day I can truly be evil and murder children. The dog is always nice but I would like other pet options like a Hobbe. Interacting with the townsfolk was the absolute worst aspect though. No more milling crowds of admirers and, nobody would be my friend until I fetched them their slippers from 3 towns over.
hopefully Fable 4 (the actual Fable 4, not the cart thing) will be less restrictive. Seeing another game that takes place in the time of the actual guild would be great especially if you are able to create your own adventurer for once.

He may be an odd fellow who over hypes things, but he dreams big and at least work his hardest to back up his words
Good on you Peter, you're a strange weirdo, but you're OUR strange weirdo...keep pushing that envelope ad soon you're masterpiece will be real you crazy sonnuva *****

It certainly was better than Fable 2.
...lets just hope it only gets better from here...
[sup]Although that hope is probably in vain...[/sup]
AND CAN HE STOP AIMING FOR MASS APPEAL? ITS PISSING ON THE FIRST GAME'S LEGACY!

I'll use small words for you, Peter.
Fable I. Good. Fable II. Not so good. Fable III. Less good.
Make like first game. First game good. First game best in series.

He seems to try to be better (even if he just faceplants again)
It's ok Mr.Molyneux I sorta liked it...the whole HOLY SHIT I FELL INTO A COMA and then annoying boss fight
The guns and my own custom sword was pretty kickass tho
Other have said it and I will echo them: He says what he needs to to keep gamer's faith. Why the hell does he hype his games and release them if he's agreed with all the unfortunate responses they keep getting. But then he doesn't improve what works, he just piles more half-baked ideas on top of them. And the cynical part of me thinks he does it because he knows that previewers will only experience the game shallowly, and won't see that all these new features are only skin deep.
All things said and done, I love the Fable series. I have a whole list of complaints but I buy every one. EVERY ONE... And I play the hell out of them.
Yes, Pete, you're a crazy fuckwit sometimes but damn do you make a pretty game. Try to actually learn from the previous games and evolve but whatever, just make the next game and I will hope it won't piss me off.

He's said that three times now. Every game gets bad scores (with the exception of the first), and he says that he's going to fix it. Then the next game happens.DeadlyYellow said:
I think they try too much, then when they realize they are too close to the deadline to fully implement their ideas (which are really good ideas), they have to cut or stop improving an idea in order to keep on schedule. Basically, Lionhead needs either more time or better focus in order to create the game Peter wants. As of now Peter is just blowing smoke and I don't intend to fall for it the way I fell for Fable 3.
Oh, Peter, you never learn. You need to pick one of two things, my man.
1. Moral ambiguity. Do it to it. Eighty-six the whole good/evil thing and try some ambiguity.
2. If that doesn't seem to fit with Fable, fear not. Gamers are not as adverse to simple good/evil/neutral choices as they first appear, and with a more comedic-oriented game like Fable you need to exacerbate this to the level of almost-parody. However, you have to take away situations of moral ambiguity as well.
You can't have both, otherwise you impale yourself hopping the fence. Just pick one, man

Honestly, I think ZeroPunctuation gets funnier and funnier as Fable Franchise progresses, although I think there were more things from Fable3 that Yahtzee should've called out on.
If Peter is unapologetic and kept making Fable 4, 5, 6, etc.. I would look forward to 0punctuation review of it more than ever.
But maybe it's time for Peter to give it up and try something new.

Know what would at least make me like Fable more? Being able to DIE. Seriously, getting scars on your character is NOT a punishment for death, nor is a small exp decrease, especially considering it takes about 2 seconds to earn it back. That and more weapon variety would please me. Fable 1 was the best and he just hasn't made a game just as good sense. Also quit making us buy DLC just to get a decent amount of armor to play around with. I bought the stupid game already I'm not buying extra clothes that SHOULD have been in the game to begin with. Fable 2 had at least good customization, Fable 3 was really pathetic.
Hell, I don't even play Fable games and I remember him saying the exact same thing before he announced Fable 3. Just let it go man, LET IT GO! Make a new IP. Fable can't compete with most RPG's.cursedseishi said:
