NFTs blow chunks, but the STALKER thing was literally just some technobabble way to get a few people with deep pockets to get themselves turned into background NPCs in the game. Which is 1000x times less offensive than Penis Molyneux who has never made a good game in his life selling 50 million$$$ in fake video game real estate or Ubisoft throwing up super rare NFT cosmetics in their affront to tactical shooters.

It's trash regardless and it's good they canned it, but I seriously couldn't have cared less about that announcement in hellworld 2021

Fired up halo infinite and it is saying I can’t play campaign? I have game pass ultimate and have been playing for a week? Restart didn’t help. Any ideas?

Same thing happens to me, here’s the fix: when you get to the main menu, wait for it to load your multiplayer rank (you’ll see it pop in at the top right), then select Campaign and it’ll recognise your licence.

Or restart the game. Once in a while it just bugs out when trying to play out of quick resume.

Buy the disc versions of 1 and 2 for like $5, install them to your system. Boot into Hitman 3 and have it detect that you own 1 and 2, search for 45 minutes trying to find the thing you need to download to unlock 1 & 2 in 3. Hope it actually works, if not, return to step 3. Sell the disc versions of 1 & 2 for like $5.

Hey now, He gave us Fable and Fable 2.

And The Movies was pretty fun, when it wasn't horribly graphically glitching out on my PC at the time.

Everything after those three games yes, I agreed.

fable and fable 2 still hurt his reputation regardless of the quality of them, like fable 1 was specifically where his credibility went to poo poo

People who liked Fable weren't the ones that followed it's development, they were the ones who bought it cheap a while after release. Fable was probably my first biggest hype cycle upset in gaming. Some years after it came out I was working at a game store and it was already in a 3 for :10bux: bin and noticed that the people buying it loved it. When Fable 2 got announced I decided to ignore everything about it and pick it up when it hit $20, and I actually did enjoy it.

Never did play 3.

Oh I was there for the hype cycle of original Fable. I was annoyed it wasn't what was promised but I still enjoyed the game for what it was.

Enough so that I've played all 3 of the drat things.

3 was......3 was not very good. And even by then I knew not to trust the hype and was still disappointed with it.

Fable was the biggest gaming disappointment of my life, but even with the hype stripped away I thought it was awful. For some dumb reason I still played 2 and 3 and thought they were awful as well. Black and White was also a huge disappointment. To this day I have never played a molyneux game I thought was good at all.

I guess people really liked Populous but I never played it.

I've never even heard of The Movies tbh.

My experience with him is buying into the Black and White hype and then finding it boring. Then reading an article on "Project Ego" which later became Fable and being hyped into the stratosphere for it. Then buying it when it came out and being like "what?! What?!"

Then I bought Fable 2 in a bargain bin and played about half of it before just trading it back in. Now that I'm thinking about it I didn't actually play 3. Other than that I have just watched him huff his own farts in interviews and embarrass himself with Kinect and no sir, I don't like him.

Even just trying to look at those games objectively I can't stand the art style and find the gameplay and exploration super dull.

If nothing else he taught me to be really skeptical of big personalities and I haven't been duped much since.

I am excited for Fable 4 because its being made by PlayGround Games, and Molyneux is not involved in anyway shape or form.

Molyneux's Theme Park was also pretty good at the time.

Speaking of theme park tycoon sims, Planet Coaster is on sale and if you're into tycoon building games and theme parks, it's very much worth picking up. It used to be on game pass.

I played Populus on the Amiga. It was good. The Movies was also very good (or at least I remember it as such) , it's basically theme hospital but with movies.

Black & White was where Molyneux really started the decline. Fable was let down by the hype but was a perfectly fine B game for when it was released, and 2 was a solid follow up. But that was like 15 years ago and everything since from him has been a boiling disaster.

I played Fable 3 when I got it free and even I was disappointed. At first I just went around shaking everyone's hands and it was like the Skyrim of video games. Then money doesn't mean anything then it's super important then I get the super special sword that's powered by group sex then I die inside.

I played The Gunk for an hour and found the music really soothing, the writing pretty mediocre, the gameplay pretty basic (but it does control nicely), but overall it's good and if it is only 4-5 hours long I'll probably finish it. It's satisfying to suck the gunk up and there is something gratifying about making the place look pretty.
