"...imagine my surprise, when I meet Molyneux [...] and the first thing he says to me is: "Fable II's story was rubbish." He wasn't done. Before the end of our half-hour together, Molyneux had used that same word to trash the maps, menus, visuals, weapons and co-op in his last game as well.
Let's get two things out of the way:
1) GamesRadar is a HORRID site. Utterly wretched content crafted by the worst type of gamers: consoletards who apparently favor the trend toward popamole, quasi-cinematic gameplay.
2) The article COMPLETELY misses the point by brushing aside Molyneux's remark to hype Fable III instead
In any case, someone ought to write an expose on Molyneux's continued hypocrisy and hype-mechanics. The man really is a veritable personification of all that is wrong with gaming media and advertisements. To start, does anyone happen to recall his comments prior to (and during) Fable II's release? Pretty sure it was the usual run-of-the-mill yet eternally trite nonsense about "innovation out the wazoo" and whatnot, but I'm genuinely interested in his exact words.
