TigrisMorte, do games w Peter Molyneux says he regrets over-promising his games

He kickstartered a PC game and made a mobile microtransaction PoS for a Chinese phone game scammer with the money.

Didn’t he do or worked on an NFT crypto game too? Oh wait, from the article:

His most recent game, Legacy, is described as a blockchain business sim in which players buy non-existent plots of land with cryptocurrency.

TigrisMorte,

Chasing those buzzwords really shows the depths of fail.

Syo, do gaming w Baldur's Gate 3's companions were overly horny due to a bug

How game b breaking are we talking about? Like slider set to 100 instead of 99, or are we talking about memory loop around, nuclear Gandi level of horny?

Lae’zel simultaneously hated me and wanted the D. It wasn’t game breaking, but I know a couple of ace people that were a bit disturbed by the constant advances.

ursakhiin,

I accidentally ended up in a romance scene with a character I had clearly told I was not interested in them. I thought the scenes were just their side quests for a while.

But other than accidentally having dinner kinky sex in the game it wasn’t that big of a part.

Why does he keep doing it then?

Reminds me of the whole Ghandi loves nuclear arms is covered thing.

lloram239,

Which by the way only started with Civ5, the rest was a hoax.

spacks,

Wow! I had no idea, thanks for looping me in 😅

Being able to say this out loud is a big step. +1 emotional maturity. +1 admitting he’s got a problem.

I’ll not deny that he has passion, but someone really should have reigned him in. It only hurt the game when it inevitably never delivered. Who comes up with game features on the spot to the media? No respect for the people who actually have to make the game, sheesh.

eltimablo,

The last time someone reigned him in, we got Spore.

tonamel,

Peter Molyneux didn't work on Spore, that was Will Wright.

Frankly, I'm offended by the comparison on Will Wright's behalf.

eltimablo,

Wait seriously?

GreenMario,

Maxis, not Lionhead.

Molyneux released Black and White at around that time.

I thought it was a feature.

SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE,

How do I keep the bug? I like the horniness! There should be a switch in the options to enable extra horny.

Nope. Fuck you.

IWantToFuckSpez,

Can’t even reject all cookies. Like the personalized ads option only has an “accept” button. Isn’t that a GDRP violation?

sigmaklimgrindset,

You have to go into “manage settings” and the second header to get a “reject all cookies” option. Fucking bullshit tbh, because it was lagging out on my phone while I was trying to navigate it

I don't know. I'm a dirty American with Consent-O-Matic.

Here's the github for anyone that wants.

DLSchichtl,

Who the fuck does that? Add this website to the unwelcome list.

BrowseMan,

Ahaha I had exactly the same reaction xD

GreenMario, do games w Peter Molyneux says he regrets over-promising his games

Ironic. If he could stay away from interviews and just let someone else PR for him he’d be remembered as a legend of the gaming industry. Bullfrog and Lionhead put out quite a lot of bangers for their time.

But he does like talking too much. Shame.

I fell for his Populous reboot flop, Godus. Haven’t trusted a word from him since.

drspod,

Same. What a disappointment that was. Mobile-style time-gating and microtransactions in a PC game.

cooljacob204,

Honestly I don't trust any game info that comes from creators anymore since cyberpunk. Until I see a review video I take everything with a massive grain of salt.

since developers have stopped making demos i simply take matters into my own hands to try games before paying for them…

nullPointer, do games w Peter Molyneux says he regrets over-promising his games

need more games like black and white.

TigrisMorte,

Just make B&W multiplayer work instead of desync and I'm cool.

Th3D3k0y, do games w Peter Molyneux says he regrets over-promising his games

Is it possible he is overhyping his regret?

OptimusPrimeRib, do games w DF Weekly: Is FSR 3 frame generation viable for console games?
@OptimusPrimeRib@sh.itjust.works avatar

If the fsr3 upscaler us remotely as good as dlss 2 I’m happy. Dlss is just good enough to use while I really don’t want to use FSR because of the shimmering.

We regret you overpromised too.

Remember this one?

The scary bit is, with ChatGPT, they could probably pull it off now… 13 years later…

So he didn’t lie! He fortune told!

ChatGPT is the only entity capable of bullshiting to Peter Molyneux’s level

@DarkWasp@lemmy.world avatar

Seems too little, too late. I’ll never forget the showcasing of “Milo” for Kinect which seems almost undoable even today.
