Only girls and poofters have emotions, that’s what my drunk Uncle Horatio Himmler always used to say. He’d hate Peter Molyneux, who has confessed to being “incredibly emotional” over reviews for his latest hype magnet, Fable 2.
“Fable 2 must have been one of the hardest games to review. The world is so big and the story and gameplay are enormous. How reviewers manage to distill such an experience into a few pages is incredible,” said Peter, in a manner that seems just a little patronizing to me. I’m surprised he didn’t give the CVG editor a pat on the head and a gold star in his coloring book for good measure.
“I found myself becoming incredibly emotional as I read people’s reviews and saw how differently the reviewers were reacting to Fable 2,” he continued. “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.”
AWWWWWR, PETER! So far, Fable 2 has a very respectable Metacritic score of 89%. We will be adding our own score to that average soon when our own review hits. Will we make Peter all soppy and gooey as well? You’ll have to wait and see.
