That RPS article is a bit harsh, Molyneux is absolutely not a trust worthy person though, but still.

Sab669 posted:Never heard of this game but I wish impulse bought that instead of Riftbound this morning - a sort of Plants VS Zombie deck builder ish kinda game. Thea is a cute game, though it's also kind of hard. It's a kind of fantasy post-apocalypse, one city challenge civ, turn based battle thingy with a strong focus on little stories. Quite weird, and it takes a while to figure out how to not gently caress up. It also takes a while to figure out how to acquire the really weird characters to your party. You start with boring humans.

Peter Molyneux is a shill for NFTs now, so he still sucks either way. Also the fact that Godus is still being sold on Steam as early access, is proof that Peter was not answering that interview in good faith. I said come in! fucked around with this message at 19:20 on May 10, 2023 |

Yeah I think Fable 3 is no longer available on PC for some reason. Just Fable 1 remaster. The series can be played on Xbox Game Cloud though. The reason why I am hopeful for Fable 4 is that it is being developed by Playground Games, the Forza Horizon people.

I've never played a Monster Hunter before. Are they any fun to play solo? I've always assumed they were intended for co-op so I never dipped a toe in.

Yeah monster hunter world and rise both scale (almost) everything to solo and they’re perfectly enjoyable that way.

Solo is great but you can also jump into a party with random people for specific hunts when you want and in my experience almost always get put into a group right away where nobody has to say a word and everybody just knows what to do.

Somewhere out there is that kid who won Molyneux's Curiosity game, where the mystery grand prize was to be "God of Gods" in Godus and supposedly to receive 1% of the revenue the game made.

I interviewed Molyneux once too, wish I had the balls back then to ask serious questions but I was young and stupid. Also there were 3 microsoft people sitting behind him trying to put holes in my brain with their stares. Did still ask why Fable was only Xbox exclusive and Molyneux got very weird trying to evade the question.

I played the poo poo out of "The Movies" which was a Lionhead Game. I don't know if Molyneux had anything to do with it but it was a rad idea. It seems like a lot of management/god game developers get caught in the trap of overpromising their dreams because they want it to be real so bad but just can't deliver it. Lionhead was also working on a game called B.C. at one point that was supposed to be this Tribe management game I think, I don't think it got very far and Lionhead eventually collapsed.

Fruits of the sea posted:It definitely violated decorum and Walker will never get to interview anybody again but Molyneux deserved it. I don't know if Moluneux believed all that stuff himself or if he actually is a pathological liar or both but he definitely deserved that. The interviewer knew that Godus is not going to get made and as I understand it, it's pretty much vaporware at this point.

HopperUK posted:Bionic Commando: Rearmed I don't know if the multiplayer is active but until 2018 SpiderMan this game had the absolute best swinging traversal. The MP was like 8 spidermen with guns flinging themselves around buildings trying to shoot each other. The ending is also hilarious and insane in the way only that dark grunge era of x360 storytelling was.

Grog posted:From last page, but Looks like the articles I found are outdated and they made it even worse. The main parallel I can think of is Doom and Doom 2016, but there were a bunch of games and decades of time between those so using the same name kind of makes sense if you're looking to reboot the series. Lords of the Fallen was generally considered a bad game and now they're making a direct sequel with exactly the same name. Not really the same scenario but maybe it will end up like Prey and Prey, where Prey was forgettable but Prey was really good.

The Movies is my white whale reboot/remaster that I know will never happen because Lionhead doesn't exist anymore and it sucks. It was pretty ahead of it's time with sharing clips and stuff, you just had to do it to Youtube. There's a game slated for "2023" called Blockbuster Inc. that looks like it might come close to replicating that experience but the trailer doesn't show any of the actual movie making stuff which was pretty integral to my enjoyment of The Movies along with the management stuff so jury's still out. Something to keep an eye on though!

I feel extremely old because I associate Molyneux with his golden era at Bullfrog. He was involved in some of my favourite games (Populous, Theme Park, Dungeon Keeper, Syndicate) before he started huffing his own farts.

I always took Molyneux as a bullshitter who genuinely believes his own bullshit. He's just so drat excited and when someone mentions some idea and he immediately yes-ands it. That's why the RPS interview feels a bit like kicking a puppy. He's just so drat excited at all the great things he assuredly will help bring to fruition, and he can't help it. Maybe that's falling for Molyneux' game, and he's a calculating bullshit artist. I think that's a fair opinion to have. I just think the games journalism industry has been very complicit in building Molyneux up, and then tearing him down. He shouldn't have received the unquestioning hype in the first place, he shouldn't have received as much funding, and he should've been forced to actually build things for real. It all leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
