I've hated him since Fable. I remember following the development of that game so closely, being so incredibly excited to play it, and then being absolutely crushed by how much it did not live up to the hype machine that Molyneux had made for it.

just based on this alone i would pass on this game
>>
>>737442836
If you just picked the game up, sure.
If you actually listened to what Molyneux was saying about it while it was in development and you BELIEVED him then you had nothing but immense disappointment.
>>
>>737441981
>>737443003
The situation is also incredibly muddled, because what Molyneux was talking about was actually being worked on at one point. He just didn't properly outline the shift in goals that happened when Project Ego got scrapped in favor of turning its work into Fable

But then again, Molyneux is a right fucking cunt that's basically erased Big Blue Box and the Carter brothers from history. Him misrepresenting their work and getting shit on for it is the smallest of karmaic justices, but it'll have to do.

At least Dene was able to later make Moonring, and showed that not only did him and Simon have talent, but that he still has it.
>>
>>737442942
looks like a typical fantasy orc, or do you think it's a woke realistic woman?
>>
>>737442836
it's not a bad game but compared to what molyneux sold it as, it's a severe disappointment
>>
>>737443442
It would be far easier to argue that Molyneux was talking about all of that stuff in good faith if he didn't spend the next two decades of his career putting out highly publicised scams (which he did)
>>
moly is just one of those guys that were great in a very specific epoch, but unable to adapt to subsequent ones.
You also saw it with a lot of gen6 studios who were lost in gen7

Remember the old "Into the lions den" articles in PC gamer

Wait, he's not involved in that new Fable that has yet to come out?

I dont think so, I believe that is Microslop's IP now
>>
>>737443442
>>737443525
Yeah the reality is that Molyneux was always a huckster. There just wasn't a cult of personality at the beginning giving him a platform to spout bullshit on.

If gaming journalists had been around and sucking his dick before Populous he probably would have told a bunch of lies about what content that game would have had as well.

This game looks like this and even in the trailer performed like shit. It's probably UE slop.
It has some cool ideas but I doubt they can pull it off.

>>737441674
This had some potential, the first EA release was fun for a few hours. But then they just dropped it.
I knew he was a faggot lier, but a scammer just broke me. His games even after all the lies were still fun.

I agree, fable is great. I never followed the hype so I dont really know what people are comlaining about

He wasn't involved but his studio made Syndicate which is pretty cool.
>>
>>737441981
Nah, I remember that everyone was already clowning on him hardcore for Black and White 1 for overpromising and then the actual game not having even a fragment of what he was talking about in interviews before release. To be fair I liked Black and White 1 for what it was, and it was a fun game but come on, man. He had been bullshitting hard about what the game was going to be.
>>
I remember downloading Godus on mobile many many years ago and had fun with it. What happened and why does everyone hate it now?

>>737447524
It unfortunately came out during the height of GG and gamer entitlement so it not being perfect was a capital offense.

Peter Molyneux, Peter Molyneux... isn't that the guy that overpromises on every game and then when the game comes out it's very clearly unfinished?

I didn't realize he was still alive, let alone still making games that he can't deliver on.

>>737442487
From reading their branding guidelines it looks like the splash screen logo is optional.

If you guys like god games one called Sintopia was released recently. It's ok for an indie.

>>737446325
>why even care
Because he charged money for a tenth of a finished game and then never made a full release and kept all the money, and now he's doing the exact same thing.

Youre the type of guy who thinks marvel invented Thor

>>737442836
As the other two anons said, my issue was I followed the game's development very closely, and was also a sparkly eyed tween at the time who bought all of Molyneux's shit hook, line, and sinker. I became much more jaded after that, and then Oblivion came out years later and really turned me into a cynic.

no you didnt. none of you did. it was literally impossible to "follow a game's development closely" in 2003 when the game was made.
There was no twitter, no youtube, nothing.
you read maybe 1 or 2 articles in gaming magazines.
fucking faggots playing pretend.

It's kind of funny. He makes out like he doesn't know how much money he needed from Kickstarter, but when he gets prodded just a little bit, suddenly he can do the maths on the exact costs like how much employees needed to be paid.

Until he's in the ground. I don't know who in the 80s decided Populous was great, but it fucking wasn't. I don't want to flatten hills for 20 minutes just to watch AI people try and fail to create castles. Ugh.

The sales of that turd gave Pete such a big head he's been trying to recreate that success his whole life.
>These people must love my god games. Look at the rave reviews I got for Populous in 1989 when the competition was Jordan vs Bird and Police Quest. I have to give the people what they want.
