'Fable II' Reviews Gets Molyneux 'Emotional'

Posted by John Manalang - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 12:46 PM

This gentleman deserves all the credit he gets. Lionhead Studios boss Peter Molyneux expressed his welcoming gratitude over the multitude of positive reviews of his company's latest action-RPG sequel, Fable II. In fact, the man's "incredibly emotional" as he said during his interview with CVG:

"I found myself becoming incredibly emotional as I read peoples reviews and saw how differently the reviewers were reacting to Fable II. Some reviewers played Good, others Evil. Some enjoyed the combat more than the story. Some ended up rich and others poor, and it's the sheer variety in how reviewers have played the game which has struck us most. I'd like to say a personal thank you to every reviewer out there for their patience and belief."

We really felt all warm and fuzzy inside after reading that, no kidding. Did you get Fable II yet? If you did, what do you think of it so far? Fable II is now available for the Xbox 360. Hit the jump for X-Play's review of the game.

I bet he is emotional from knowing he is going to make a ton of money off a great game. Fable 2 is awesome!

This is the reason I got an Xbox in the first place! I have to say... by far... best game of 08 and many years to come!!!!

PSM3 explains Fallout 3 PS3 and Xbox 360 differences
360 News from N4G | Fallout 3
PSM3 staff writes: "Fallout 3 looks rubbish on PS3 - Claim the predictable internet headlines, but we've played it on all three platforms - and here's the real, if less exciting, truth...

Our exclusive Fallout 3 PS3 review (from PSM3#107) has leaked onto the Internet and, as expected, a single sentence has been dragged out, beaten and interrogated under a spotlight. This one; "The PS3 version compares poorly to its Xbox and PC counterparts." Which, in the parlance of the Internet, obviously means; "THE PS3 VERSION SUCKS! XBOX WINS!!

This is from Gamespot not me! Just figured i would cut,copy,paste, and share! Have a nice day JERKY!!

@ everyone: Sorry about posting of topic! Icould not resist!

Posted by geekenstein - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:15 PM

I played Fable I for about 5 minutes and gave up. It just didn't draw me into the story. That's keeping me from buying it right now, but i'll pick up a 2nd hand copy on ebay in a few weeks. I'm really waiting for next week.. 10/28 yeah baby!

Posted by Phategod - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:20 PM

While Fable I was not a perfect game I love it this seems to be head and tales above and beyond Fable I. I just started and I dont have much time to play this week but I can't wait to see what going to happend next with the gameplay and story.

Posted by Tmidiman - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:21 PM

So far I'm really enjoying this game, but I won't be able to really dig in until this weekend. Wii has Zelda:TP and the 360 has Fable 2.

Posted by sps73 - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:24 PM

I mean "off" topic.

Man G4 you realy need an edit tab already for this blog! I mean damn for a tech site you guys are really behind, it's damn near 2009 already get with it would yiz!

This cat is a great game maker. I feel like until recently, he was underrated and under-appreciated by the gaming industry. He and his team really work hard on their games. U gotta respect that.

Posted by ScottFleener - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:26 PM

I've only played Fable 2 for about an hour, but it's already amazing. The story is great, the combat is fun, and overall game is just a blast to sit down and play.

Posted by jargy1 - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:28 PM

It's a pretty good game overall. Not the best RPG I've ever played, but absolutely worth the money. I just wish there were more variety in the jobs. It's the fastest way to make money (without messing around with the date on your console) and it's just pushing the A button over and over and over and over. But outside of that, it's pretty good. Best Western RPG I've played since Mass Effect.

Posted by tvj2004 - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:30 PM

@sps73
thx for the info guy. I'll keep that in mind. Way off topic, and u could've waited and posted this on the next Fallout article, but thx buddy. Way to sound like a hater and start a flame war. *applause*

Posted by Ulrichgaming - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:32 PM

Glad this game turned out, not my cup of tea... but happy for those that are into it.


@sps73

good job sinking to RRoD's level... you really showed him...

Posted by ifonlytobreathe - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:33 PM

I'm only a few hours into Fable II. So far I think it's fantastic, the combat is fluid and the art style is top notch. I can't wait to see what happens as I drift from good to evil and back. I've already gotten married and decided my wife was ugly and sacrificed her to the Shadow Temple.

Posted by Markntosh - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:40 PM

I know it's impossible, but I wish Fable could be on the PS3.

Heck, if MGS4 is going to the 360, why not Fable to the PS3, eh?

Posted by mybum - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:41 PM

wow penis fanboys claiming that this game is bad after another 5h1t ps3 exclusive socom.

socom confrontation:

gamespot 6.5/10
gamesdaily 5/10
gamerankings 63/100
metacritic 57/100

socom was delayed for 1 months for the "best socom experience ever"

even after its 1 month beta test, the server was down for the first 3 days after release

host of bugs

lack of features that were advertised

......seriously....
i kno that ps3 exclusives are bad but i never knew that it can go this badd...

anyway another failure by sony
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Posted by Markntosh - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:42 PM

@sps73

Oh really, show me a link. I don't trust you a bit. It's people like you who make me NOT want to get a 360. Not if the community is @#$%.

Posted by Markntosh - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:43 PM

@mybum

Same as sps73, and I never claimed it as bed, btw. This game probably kicks @$$.

Posted by Vesipham - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:44 PM

It's a shame this won't also come to PS3. I probably would've enjoyed playing it.

Posted by B00MR1D3 - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:45 PM

yea nothing is impossible for the ps3 or 360 now a days , hell i wish we could all be normal people like back in the day. ah the GOOD OLD days.

Posted by darkmanXL - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:47 PM

I think the game is great, and its getting well deserved good reception from critics & gamers..I don't think its as good as Mass Effect though but def a great game..

@sps73

Stop baiting this fool, RROD is only trying to get a rise out of ppl.. As far as the Fallout 3 thing goes I haven't heard anything about that, Oblivion looks the same on both systems so I'm sure Fallout will look the same..

Posted by CPRxChris - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 1:47 PM

Shut up, Molyneux (and G4 for posting this). SHUT UP!

Get back to work on whatever it is your doing next. If you have nothing, brainstorm.

Scroll down till you find the article!

Hey everybody: I am a 360 owner but believe me i even took the article with a full shaker of salt, so don't get so heated about it guys, i just wanted to break RROD's balls before he had a chance to post!

I am a gamer and have been since the Atari and could care less about what system a game is on, as all of you should! A great game is a great game, and PS3, 360, PC, and even Wii have great games and will "ALL CONTINUE" to have great games, no matter what that little kid RROD says. PEACE, GAME ON!!

Posted by SpookyPirate - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 2:07 PM

Great Job Peter! You have made (in my opinion)the greatest game in it's genre since ocarina of time.

Posted by darkmanXL - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 2:12 PM

@mybum

I hear what your saying but your being as bad as the fanboys your talking about.. I own both systems & I enjoy a host of games for my Ps3.. As far as Socom goes yea it does have issues and hopefully they be addressed but as far as the reviews go IGN has taken the road they won't review it till the bugs are fixed & the missing features are in.. Its actually a pretty good game when things work the way they supposed to.. But any the thread is about Fable 2 when you do this your being like RROD the saddest per who comes here..

Posted by Aztec23 - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 2:12 PM

Gay60 fanboys are bashing the ps3 & we have not said anything. I guess I start LBP got a 9.5 in ign & gayble got 8.8 or 8.7 I think LBP got the bigger number.

Posted by sps73 - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 2:14 PM

My mistake dude!

Posted by Ulrichgaming - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 2:32 PM

Amazing how some 360 fans are... nobody on this thread has said one bad thing about this game... and you are still ripping on the PS3? you'd think you could stay on track and talk about this 360 game....

sps73 and mybum are complete knobs period.

Wow why are video game nerds to uptight Can't the man take pride in his work. I respect this guy as much as Jaffe, AND Wright.

Posted by Smartguy81 - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 2:46 PM

this game is rather fun. I'd categorize it more in the adventure category than RPG though. As someone else mentioned earlier in the thread, it resembles ocarina of time in the adventure/fun department. seriously, it's a fun game. the first was a let down from all of the overhype from lionhead themselves...it still had good fundamentals. this game improved upon the first. solid buy.

Posted by Ulrichgaming - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 2:46 PM

no problem with it, I'd be proud of it also... just like many will be proud of levels they make in LBP, or any other creative game.

Its really hard to put this game down!

Posted by yanksrul - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 2:54 PM

I got this game because I traded in three crappy games called Mercenaries 2, Too Human, and Star Wars the Force Unleashed. When I turned it on my day was over. Im addicted. I cannot put this game down. I have not been this addicted to a game since GTA3 came out years ago.

Posted by PhoenixFace - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 3:24 PM

@Aztec
Lol, way to back yer facts up there "I think LBP got the bigger score so Gayble sucks" Whilst it's true that LBP did get the bigger score (it is a PHENOMINAL game) 8.8 is hardly terrible, I don't want to start a flame war but come on, NO reviews say that it sucks at all. Fable 2 and LBP forever!

Isn't this game bricking a lot of systems.....

Posted by Tman88 - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 4:08 PM

Reviews are only opinions but anyway Fable 2 looks like it has many new features so it'll be something to check out. Personally, I'm looking forward to next week for LBP and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift but I'll also check out Fable 2.

Posted by staychisel (BANNED) - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 4:38 PM

i finally picked up my copy this morning. it's a pretty awesome game, thoroughly enjoying it so far. i didn't transfer over my pub games money though cause i kept it real and started from scratch :D

Posted by capthavic - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 5:31 PM

Well good for him but I'm still passing on Fable 2 and getting Fallout 3 instead.

Posted by Markntosh - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 5:33 PM

@@Aztec

STFU! You and RRoD are making the PS3 look bad, you're doing anything BUT wanting people to get a PS3. Really, shut up, you're not contributing anything to anything. Come back when you aren't blinded by gaming system differences.

@PhoenixFace

Heck yah!LBP and Fable II kick equal amounts of @$$!!! Period, THE END.

Posted by GreedyMcNasty - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 5:38 PM

Kick ass. Plain and simple better than good 5 out of 5. try 6 1/2 out of 5. I bought 2 copies so far both limited and a strat guide. I have played non stop. Peter M. has a mastered the ART of video games.

Posted by Thundercracker - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 6:10 PM

@staychisel

no one compared socom confrontation with fable, ive never said anything positive about socom. Little big planet is better than fable 2, so dont get too excited, dorks, cause we still have the two best games of the year so far

Posted by smroadkill15 - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 6:11 PM

I've played this game for about 7 hours and I love it,one of the best RPG's that I have played, considerable better that fable 1.

Posted by lcromy - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 6:47 PM

I've put about 6 hours into the game. It's good but doesn't meet the hype I'm afraid.

To be honest, as much as I do like the game... I'm kind of wishing I'd bought FARCRY 2 instead.

Posted by blakseed - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 7:22 PM

7 hours, 6 hours, damn. Am I missing out or what? Much respect to Peter Molyneux, but I more into JRPGs.

Posted by Delaystation_3 - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 8:01 PM

i don't understand the whole lbp-fable 2 arguement. the only thing they have in common is they are both getting great reviews. i can't wait to play fable 2 but i have to play fallout 3 first, but make no mistake i will be buying this game.

Posted by BrooklynOwns - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 8:08 PM

I'm sure Fable 2 is a solid title but I have my reservations on anyone who says it's one of the best RPGs they ever played.

Posted by jmd10222 - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 8:16 PM

I got to meet Mr. Molyneux a few months ago, and this man genualy cares about his fans.I was so shocked at how nice he was and was willing to sign a few things and talk with me for several min. Heck he would have keep talking to me, but I felt bad for bothering him. No wonder his games tend to be good, because he cares about the people he is making them for.

Posted by SpookyPirate - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 10:33 PM

Great Job Peter! You have made (in my opinion)the greatest game in it's genre since ocarina of time.

Posted by BADAZZ85 - Thursday, October 23, 2008 2:28 AM

Wow!! This game is what I wanted and more, I mean from the overall scope of the world to the underground caves to the sheer amount of things you can do is just amazing. I have about 15 hours of play time and I have not been bored for 1 second, you as a gamer owe it to yourselves to pick this one up it's just that good. Thank You Peter Molyneux and Lionhead Studios for such a wonderful game. P.S. They call me "BADAZZGMR" on Xbox Live just in case you wanna ask me about the game.

Posted by Fx_Avatar - Thursday, October 23, 2008 8:06 AM

I got this game the day it came out, but I could not get time it tell last night. This game is great. In fact, I have not had new game fever for a while.. you know, when you start a new game, then look at the clock and it is 1AM already.. Then you go to bed and you dream that you are still playing it and filled with what-if's.

I do have 2 negatives so far I have found with the game. One, is sometimes your camera gets suck looking from below you and you can not see what is ahead unless you constantly push the camera view up. The other is that in most menus red is cancel, in other menus, it is NOT and I will shock the bleep out of the townsfolk..

Posted by MaxDragon7 - Thursday, October 23, 2008 10:14 AM

Who cares about critics and game raters? (except for the people at X-Play =D) A professional opinion about games is not that important unless YOU actually have fun with it. Besides, who isn't a professional critic these days XD?!

Posted by Ulrichgaming - Thursday, October 23, 2008 10:57 AM

on a side note looks like there are some freezing issues gong on..

Posted by deleted_ECB6E0D2-5894-472C-8A9B-D5FD2B7171C4 - Thursday, October 23, 2008 5:14 PM

Fable 2 is awesome!!!

Posted by slash2x - Thursday, October 23, 2008 5:15 PM

This Game is FANTASTIC! I will be honest the first one made me feel cheated with the shortness and the limited options for gear. Everything the first game missed this definitely fixed!

On a funny side note why are all the ps3 owners in here? I know you are still waiting on new games that are worth playing, but did you get lost? This is a 360 exclusive, go back to the Resistance 2 boards. At least you have one good exclusive to cling onto. I know it gets boring talking to yourselves, but either get a 360 or stop wasting posting space on a good games board.
