    I looked at the trailer and some parts of it remind me of his failed NFT game. This guy doesn’t create games out of passion for games. Its all about the money with this fraud.

        Fable was also decent because I think the hype at the time was literally just “the main character changes if you’re good or evil” and “you can buy houses and get married.”

        He could make a decent game in the past when he didn’t embarrass himself.

          Nah, Fable had mountains of bullshit, too.

          From simple things like having a dragon boss fight (didn’t happen), or dynamics between you and rival heroes (it’s all scripted and only involves one) to extreme bullshit like “you can carve your name in a tree and 30 years later it will still be there!” (not even as a scripted event is this a thing)

          Like, it wasn’t a terrible game, but it is far and away from being the game Pete promised.

    Once known as the father of Fable during his tenure at Lionhead, the developer went through a stint of disappointing fans in the Godus era of current studio 22cans, all after the game received years of development and Kickstarter support but then never launched…

    Only criticism out of the whole article. And they left the kiddie gloves on. Wonder how much Pete paid for them to essentially felate him.

    Guy has some ok ideas, but he needs someone above him to reign in his bullshit. Fable was great, flawed but great. Black & White was a classic and brought a real innovative experience compared to other games at that time. Godus started off really interesting, and then Pete just couldn’t help himself, feature creep, adding shit no one wanted, and then abandoned it after it became clear that he’d fucked it up.
    The man is a shitty version of Midas, every good thing he touches turns to shit.

    reminder that molyneux abandons his games. Godus was never finished and project Milo was a literal lie.

    I’ve also heard fabel 3 was dogshit?

      I played Fable 3 around 2017 I think? Ok game, but Fable 1 was much better. Felt like they veered too much on making it linear. I wish M$ would release Fable 2 for PC, but that’s unlikely

      Godus lived up to the hype til the scaled it back to hit the mobile market then immediately stopped development after making the older more finished build unavailable. It was a genuinely good game. Was.

    Will we be able to plant an acorn and watch it grow into a magnificent tree? I actually liked Fable for what it was.

    As with all games wait a while before buying it. But particularly with Peter Molyneux games
