Preview Completely fucking nuts: a Molyneux article

[Deleted member 7219]

I actually really, REALLY hate Peter Molyneux. If I met him I would like nothing more than to punch him in the face and knee him in the balls.

I feel the same way, but my kick punch kick combination would be different.

You mean knee him in the face and punch him in the balls? I wouldn't want my hand to make contact with his groinal area. Unless I was wearing gloves.

katzenjammer, your sig is like, the funniest thing I've ever seen. The amazon.com review is truly sphincter-expanding.

Last off topic comment:

This is from another book of his.

"About the Author
Hiroyuki Nishigaki, a graduate of Osaka City University in 1963, resides in Japan. He was employed by the Kyodo News Agency until 1976. He is the author of four books in Japanese, including How to Attain Silent Knowledge. A female inorganic ally gave the author the ability of space travel at age of 10 and 56. His first space travel was at the age of 56."

Sounds like a fucking train wreck.

Jesus, and I thought he was nuts when he was spooging all over himself describing that god damned dog. Of all the developers to come out and admit something about Oblivion was shit, it had to be the weird, senile uncle of the industry that no one really gives a shit about.

Molyneux the Mad.

 

[POOPERSCOOPER]

I think he doesn't understand that making the combat easier or more "innovative" will not sell the game any more than it would have been with an advanced system. The only people who will see this innovation will be the ones who buy it and actually test it out. Him aiming at extremely casual gamers means that none of them will have actually read anything about the game and how innovative it is. I don't know how much more casual you can get than Halo or call of duty.

Sometimes when I play Call of Duty, I accidentally hit the "Q" instead of the "W". It's pretty confusing.

I would say The Sims and The Sims 2 are good examples of extreme casual games. I know girls up at uni who play The Sims and have probably never even heard of Halo.

This fellow doesnt know ANYTHING about RPGs. Seriously, FOblivion 3 compared to his next piece of crap would even be worth buying.

We need a genocide to cleanse the Earth of such people as him. How do you call it, hmmm? Retardcide?

 

[Edward_R_Murrow]

This guy is bat shit crazy.

 

[Bradylama]

Is "impactful" even a word?

 

[Hümmelgümpf]

Is "impactful" even a word?

Yup.

Definition: having a great impact or effect

 

[Noctis]

Whoa... This for reals? I think Fable turned him completly batshit insane. Worse than a motherfscking malkaivian. Some one has to put him into a asylum... or a retirement home... or something. Seriously.

Retardcide seems like a really good idea, suddenly. I've been around in the RPG scene for fifteen years, but this is by far the idiotic thing I've seen and that's saying something, exspecialy with such a idiotic corporate mainstream around. Wow... Just, wow..

[Bradylama]

Yup.

So is irregardless.

So is it one of "those words" or what? I've never seen anybody use it.

 

[sabishii]

Oblivion was a great game, but the combat was rubbish; we all talked about it being rubbish.

I loled at that.

 

[Ion Flux]

Yup.

So is irregardless.

So is it one of "those words" or what? I've never seen anybody use it.

"Irregardless" is a nonstandard word, which means people use it, so it's a word, but it ain't English.

"Impactful" on the other hand is a real word I guess, but it still sounds really stupid.

THIS JUST IN:

Legendary (in his mind) game designer Peter Molyneux was found dead in his home last night of a drug overdose. Police at the scene report that Mr. Molyneux was found clutching an Xbox 360 contoller playing the hit video game Oblivion. A crack pipe was found along with a note pad.

The investigator at the scene, who described himself as an avid gamer himself said, "The deceased was obviously taking notes, possibly doing some research for an upcoming RPG which stands for ROLE PLAYING GAME. Nothing seems suspicious here but I have to tell you, trying to top that Oblivion game seems like a nutty idea to begin with, I mean that game was sheer perfection - my 12 year old LOVES it! Anyway, that in itself seems to point to the deceased having been under the influence of drugs for quite some time but we'll have to continue investigating".

 

[User was nabbed fit]

The title is justified. There's simply no easy way to put it: the guy's fucking nuts.

 

[BillyOgawa]

Dungeon Keeper = fluke

 

[Volrath]

Seriously, how the fuck can it be that this guy was responsible for titles such as Populous, Magic Carpet, Theme Park and Dungeon Keeper?

 

[RGE]

I think you guys should embrace innovation a bit more. Sure, his new game will probably suck as much as his other games, but at least he's trying some new stuff rather than sucking in the same way all the time. It's like Jackass the Game Development, isn't it?

Wild guess: he wasn't?
Or possibly senility caught up with him finally?

But still, it's puzzling.

Demis Hassabis had a fair bit to do with theme park, not sure about DK. He turned out to be a bit of a shitty designer post Bullfrog too. Republic: The revolution had to be one of the most disappointingly overhyped titles other than Black & White. An original and adult direction, granted, but a stupidly overcomplicated implementation of what was effectively a simple board game.
