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

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…

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.

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.

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

I just hated how he would talk about Fable 2 when promoting Fable 3. I still remember one article I read 12+ years ago, the interviewer was asking him about how fable 3 would compare to Fable 2 & peter molyneux scoffed saying something like “God dont play that. Fable 3 is what I envisioned” and then he went on about how he worked to get the idea of touching others into Fable 3. The whole hand holding thing he kept talking up about how it was the most amazing feature to implement.

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

So basically this person and their companies are currently entirely worthless. Got it.

Doubtful. He generated hype and press that put money in his pocket. typical business behavior.

Maybe one day Elon Mush will say he regrets pre-selling full self driving. Same deal.

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

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

Nobody cares. Make better games

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

My first character I tried to make, I was wandering around poking everything and getting into fights (and losing) while Shadowheart and the green woman who’s name I can’t remember how to spell follow me around being catty or outright hostile to each other.

The second character I started after I basically got stuck in a position where I couldn’t advance, and every door our of the area I’m in was met with a “This is going to be bitterly hard for your sad weak little party” message on my first character. I spent some more time wandering around the crash site, which made me realize I needed to spend more time wandering around the crash site looking for people.

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.

Graphine, do games w Starfield players create famous faces in-game, and a Todd Howard flashlight

I love this fucking game.

I’ve been watching a friend play and absolutely noticed that the romance stuff is a lot slower. everyone wanted to jump my wizard bones about 18 hours in, though it’s very easy to just not flirt with them. Meanwhile she’s 28 hours in and Shadowheart (who was trying to get me in bed with her in the first 10 hours of my play through) still hasn’t propositioned her.

newthrowaway20,

Guess I missed out because 90 hours in and shadowheart just recently propositioned me despite us having a relationship for the last 80 hours lol. But Gale… I back out of him showing me a magic trick cuz it got too flirty, and now he thinks we boned.

Off topic: I didn’t realise how intense Eurogamer has gotten with ads. Could barely read the article on my phone. 😡

khorak,

Firefox with uBlock, what are ads?

As much as I’d love to support a site, if I can’t use the site because of ads then I can’t support it.
