Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing

Peter Molyneux, the boss of Lionhead, talks about Fable II's flaws. He says the game has not so great lip syncing, the animation can be a bit dodgy, and the player's dog gets a bit fractured sometimes, to list a few things.
However, he is very proud of the game, and has previously rated it 9/10.
Incredibly frank Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux has listed his dislikes and flaws in Fable II... before the game's even in the shops.
"Pretty bad" lip-syncing, the odd "low spot" and occasions when the players' dog can get "a bit fractured", are among Molyneux's criticisms of the Fable sequel, he told CVG.
The shock honesty outburst from the game designer comes just weeks after he said he'd give his game "9 out of 10" in an interview with Xbox World 360.
"There are low spots in the game and it's no one's fault that these low spots are there, it's just that there's a lot to this game," Molyneux said. "You've got to remember that we're not building a corridor game here where you can say 'right, in one hour fifteen minutes, someone's going see that light and we're going make that light like this.'

Yeah, from what I have seen, I think I'll be quite satisfied with the game.....Fable I (though I didn't finish it) was a pretty solid game, so this should be much better.
Its like 10 hours long.
Also I agree that it's good to know about the bugs ahead of time so people can set their expectations accordingly, and not whine and complain about these bugs later.
I am probably plenty strong to beat it no prob.....
It's a good way to let your hype get out of control i.e. original Fable. However, I find it quite refreshing.
He's also pretty funny which helps.
