If anyone supports Peter after what he did to Black and White 2 and the fable series, they deserve to lose their money.

How is this any different from every other time Peter Molyneaux has hyped up his own game to ridiculous proportions to sucker people into buying them? The nice thing about the video games industry is that you can keep doing this because most gamers have no ability to resist buying something on promises alone, even if they already kinda sorta know it's going to be bad.

i actually bought an early access game recently (7 days to die) because i had an itch for building and survival. i actually didn't regret it. the game is more finished at its alpha state than DayZ or Minecraft are put together. there are way more hooks to keep playing than in DayZ and the building is better than in Minecraft, and the whole thing actually runs without enormous gamebreaking bugs. supposedly the next version is coming out soon too. makes sense that the developer that's finally able to make an early access title that doesn't leave me feeling scammed is called "The Fun Pimps". though i guess that's not much of a compliment edit: can someone tell me what's new in DayZ and Starbound? I haven't played those games in a year Minorkos fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Feb 10, 2015 |

I don't object to the idea of Early Access but there's just no way to know if the game you're getting is any good. Online reviewers are either true believers caught in their own hype or anti-everything personalities with unhelpful nitpicks. Established gaming review sites are mostly just product hyping machines for the major publishers and goons don't share many of my tastes. You just kind of end up rolling the dice. Of the two games I bought EA, I ended up really liking Lichdom: Battlemage despite hearing very little about it, and disliking Grim Dawn despite overwhelming hype here and elsewhere. For only ten bucks each you could do worse, but I guess now the prevailing philosophy is "why put out a free demo and risk people not liking it when you could charge money for Early Access and get paid either way?" Makes sense to me.

early access would be a lot better if it allowed you to actually try the game for like a day and then ask for money. as it is you're paying to be an alpha tester, which to me is a really weird concept. i should get paid to QA, not the other way around.

The people who hate Peter Molyneux are the people who once loved Peter Molyneux and gave him money. I gave him money and I hope that he lives on to dream of dog friendship once more. Thanks for reading.

I kind of wish this thread was for other games with stupid hype trains, too. I remember Bethesda saying that Oblivion's AI had to be tuned down because it was too good... and something like they would go around completing the quests for you and could beat the main narrative. Hahahaha. In retrospect, Skyrim doesn't even live up to some of the claims they made with Oblivion.

Fable 2 sucked so much it rewards you for not playing. I haven't touched it in 4-5 years and would probably get billions of gold for the two towns I landlord in but gently caress if I'll ever finish it.

I've never played OG Populous or Syndicate but Populous the Beginning and Syndicate Wars were both loving awesome.GloriousDemon posted:I also played played Black and White 2, a god sim that has a campaign rougher than a Warcraft 3 custom map. Black and White 2 campaign was piss easy. Good gods win by having a great city, Evil gods win through warfare. ...except good gods have a bigger population because of their great city, so they also win through warfare if you want.

Much like Tim Schafer, there is a reason no publishers will give Peter Molyneux money.

Even after rinsing both Kickstarter and Early Access, the game apparently does have a publisher, since Molyneux blames them for some recent server woes in that interview.

Played 3 hours, put it back in the box, and eventually sold it to some other poor sucker online at a huge markdown. Never bought another one of his products again.

I had no idea that man was still making video games. I will however use this opportunity to reiterate that spore was the most dissapointing game I have ever played and is the very moment I stopped getting hyped over video games, and kinda lost interest in them over the next few years. So thank you will wright for making my life better, and y'all should see molyneux as a good guy who just wants kids to stop caring about video games and live productive lives.

Dark Souls 2 had its graphics downgraded, to be sure, and that generally sucked. Godus has had its ENTIRE GAME downgraded and Peter et al are basically like "gently caress you i got mine". I mean, sure, what happened with DS2 sucked but I think it's a far cry from the Molyneux situation.

I didn't really mind the Dark Souls 2 downgrade so much because making half the game Tomb of Giants was a stupid idea to begin with, but yeah the goon defence force was rabid regarding any criticism of that game It's good to see Molyneux is really getting raked over the coals on this one at least, his attitude has been half a step away from an outright conman with Godus and it's about time people picked up on him being full of poo poo and stopped chucking money at him

I bought into the hype for Black and White and was pretty disappointed by it. I did like how your pet grew in size as time went by. I didn't get past level 3(?) I think. I finished one game of The Movies, because the tutorial took the entire game to play through, but it worked for me. Never got a 5 star movie, but I liked how you could make movies, and by the '80's you were making sequels and remakes. The game was really hampered by the lack of new stars. Once you started with 3-4 movie stars, that's all you got for decades. And the narrator's were amusing. We are all lucky that we live in the time line where Peter Molyneux went on to become a game designer. The timeline where he goes into politics is horrific.
