It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...

I'm reminded of that old CYOA someone did, Red Yellow Blue I think? It had cool artwork and the choices were always colored in red, yellow and blue.

In Front Mission 3, deciding whether or not to go hang out with your best friend after finishing the first mission in the game completely changes the entire mission structure and story.

pretty much. but i like depending on what side quests you do/how you do them and followers and stuff, effects the ending. like you can have a wasterland that a chaotic shithole or one of relative peace.

He's never said "it would be a mistake to talk about it" and he's never said "I'm doing programming again" so no, he has not.

What he always says the same every time was "that last game was meh, sorry about that, but guys, the next game! the next game is gonna be amazing!" and then repeat forever.

22Cans even released a whole mobile game and I've heard of it but never heard that it was Molyneux's nor seen any press about it. His past games was full press coverage for months/years beforehand.

Someone in the last thread mentioned the Minerva's Den DLC for BioShock 2, and having not gotten to it in my replay from earlier this year I went back and checked it out again today since I couldn't remember anything about it.

The twist at the end is very good, but the actual gameplay just feels like more BioShock 2 without doing much new, and the levels are like the least distinctive between the entirety of the first two games (Though I think BioShock 2 in general has a problem with the levels outside of Ryan Amusements not being very memorable). The praise for Minerva's Den being the highpoint of the franchise seems a little hyperbolic IMO.

This fits the bill best. Obsidian is really good at making your decisions effect the post game. But W3 directly effects the ending with your minor choices throughout the game in a rather organic fashion. Be a good dad.

Yeah, I was reading this article getting my pitchforks out because I love to hate on Molyneux for his complete bullshit, but... I dunno, it sounds like he actually loving learned something:


I think one of the biggest mistakes he made with Fable and Godus was he was just the ideas guy, so divorced from the programming that he just promised the world and his poor engineers had to try to make his dreams a reality. The guy getting back into programming is like the best thing that could happen to him, it'll force him to realize what is and isn't feasible before he starts making promises and coming up with lofty ideals.

And he actually doesn't want to talk about his new game yet? Like, holy poo poo, he FINALLY learned!

E: Oh wait though


Yeah that's horseshit Peter. That's horseshit. It was a publicity stunt, you already pulled it, and then you didn't follow through. "oh but we didn't actually profit" oh shut up.

About that Godus thing: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-02-11-the-god-who-peter-molyneux-forgot

I don't have a hate boner for Molyneux like others might but it's hard to get excited about anything he might come up with after stuff like this.

He should really just cut that kid a check for like one grand out of his own pocket. Not like all his money, but he owes that kid (Now adult) a decent chunk of change after all those promises. That's like the least he could do. "Sorry kid, Godus bombed, here's some cash at least."

Its like that one episode of The Office where Michael Scott promises to pay for some kids' tuition, and then can't afford it years later.

Oh someone made it as a joke years ago. Your game concept of doing drugs and making the game weird is probably safe. Except I think Mario actually did it in Yoshi's Story.

Yeah the yoshi's island level "touch fuzzy get dizzy" is the inspiration for what I'm doing.

Jay Rust posted:

No, that image is not from yoshi's island. I was wondering if somebody else had made a game like that with mario assets, but it seems like it was just a joke or a quick demo.

Not that I'm trying to sell this or anything, its just a solo thing for fun. But I'd feel dumb if someone else was working on exactly that idea right now.
