I liked Fable 1-3.  They weren't incredible, but they were fun to just run around and hit things in. I wouldn't say any of them were worth more then $20, but that's what I paid for all three of them. You can do a lot worse then the Fable series. Even 3 had enough coherent interesting parts to make up for the rather lackluster civil war storyline.

Broken Cog posted:Nobody remembers the absolutely horrendous "menu" alternative that you had to zone into, or that the maps were 100% useless? I tried to forget that the levelup menu is a long, gated hallway where you have to physically find the treasure chest for the skill/emote/job upgrade you want. I could live with that, though. The menu change that really irked me was that you had no ability to choose a specific emote to do with an NPC. You would just cycle through every emote in the smallest subcategories. Want to give someone a friendly handshake or a hug? You better hope the game decides that that is the first friendly emote in that subcategory, or you'll have to dance with them, tell them a joke, and then MAYBE shaking hands will be chosen as the next emote in the chain.

VarXX posted:I'm glad we have folks like John Walker to stand up against the tyranny of mobile developers It's more that he's finally asked the most important question rather than continuously provide a conduit for the 'mistakes', and 'naive promises' - but never lies - rather than being some form of leader. Asking the difficult questions is the mark of journalism. Top ten video game villians is what we normally get. Seriously, Black & White was the last Molyneux I ever got involved in, and that was after the shitheap that was Powermonger.

I always thought that bit of bullshit came from the Republic pre-release bullshit? Demis Hassabis, ex-Lionshead prodigy. Turns out I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure some of Molyneux rubbed off on young Demis given the promises made about Republic.

Asking the difficult questions when the guy's completely irrelevant and getting kicked from all quarters, though. Maybe when people believed this poo poo, and he had a positive reputation, it would have seemed more impressive.

I think he keeps getting work because most people don't follow developers and have no idea who Molyneux is. I didn't even know he was involved with Movies and thought it was alright. People just see a cool innovative description and back a game, not realizing its the same guy who just lies his head off to make mediocre or crap games.

Rookersh posted:I liked Fable 1-3. I actually liked the Fable series a lot as well, and i'm looking forward to the next Fable game. Fable 1 had a lot of backlash though from people who followed its development because it over promised like crazy and nothing delivered, and then it went from being a PC game to being an Xbox exclusive. It was eventually released for PC though. Fable III was as well. I said come in! fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Feb 13, 2015 |

RPS are nailing him to the wall and they're right to do so. I don't give a poo poo that people don't like John Walker, they could've had any member of their team do this interview and they'd still be right. Molyneux is a loving con artist who's gotten away with it for far too long.

Dungeon Keeper remains one of my favourite games and Black and White is still fun if flawed. The true monsters of this mess are the Kickstarter funders. You knew this was going to happen and you let it happen anyway, handing him enough rope to hang himself and then complaining when the inevitable happened. You sick freaks. A pox on your houses.

My favorite thing about Godus is that after EA released that loving horrible bullshit mobile version of Dungeon Keeper Molyneux blasted it for ruining the series and being nothing but a lovely cash grab. Godus today is mainly being focused on the mobile version that uses the same stupid, lovely ststem all the crappy popular phone games use. A huge liar and a hypocrite!

Zigmidge posted:drat, is that interview an overcompensated response to the recent journalism bs? That was brutal and wholly unnecessary. It was brutal, but look at it as the pent up frustration of years being a games journalist and never being allowed to ask anything but softballs. A PR flack watches, ready to not only pull the interview but also put you on the list of people who never get another chance to talk to their charges. You try a question that has a little oomph to it, but your interviewee's eyes glance to his rep, remembering lines that were drilled on a few hours ago. He slickly deflects with a mention of the console transition being difficult for everyone. Then a transition to how the game series, now on it's 7th iteration, has built high expectations from all it's fans. They're the important ones, the gamers. Foiled again, you meekly submit to the usual crap for the rest of the q&a. Peter Molyneux is an anathema to games journalists because he is a living reminder of their cowardice and past failures. He made his living by exploiting the games media more than he ever did with the quality of the games. For a decade it worked, because he was part of the publisher system and therefore pretty much invulnerable to them. Now he's lost that protection.

And the ones who let him get away with it are, in part, the journalists now turning around and finally discovering their balls. That's why I find it funny - it's like kicking an old dude in the knee for being racist. He had it coming but why wait until he's fallen over and broken his leg to do it for chrissake. Analogies are not my strong point.
