[General Discussion] PETER MOLYNEUX IS A GENIUS

Brady is right though. Having been fairly close to the industry for a while (and hoping to work in it eventually) I have seen a lot of people proclaiming to have thought of great ideas, only for them to turn out to be highly contrived and lacking any real innovation whatsoever. If you're a fanboy who thinks Molyneux is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, then continue in the delusion. Just because he had a few good game ideas doesn't mean he shits pearls and pisses liquid gold. He tends to overhype games (basically lie, or he just has a poor grasp and understanding of what his team is capable of, who knows) without delivering what he promises. Good for marketing, bad for the reputation. People need to scrutinise everything they see and read rather than just assume things.

No developer is immune from screwing up, no matter how great or well respected they are. That includes companies like Valve for example. Episodic gaming is a big fucking let-down in terms of playtime versus cost. It's just a way for the game developers to make more money during some hard times. I'm not sure how long people will tolerate that. Mark Reign and I agree that it probably won't last too long and certainly isn't a revolution in how games are delivered. Molyneux isn't being very creative these days if those are examples of his world beating ideas. One-hit kills, oh like America's Army you mean? And when I am playing a console I use more than just one button; god only knows those things are covered with buttons these days and they all have a function.

To be honest it's a little hard to believe that a seasoned veteran of the industry would really say something like this, something so... dumb.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
