The Jimquisition - The Molyneux Cycle

[The Sam]

"To act as if Peter Molyneux is only now being unfairly criticized for one troubled Kickstarter is to ignore years and years of easily traceable insincerity. To believe he's owed the benefit of the doubt because he did Theme Hospital is to gloss over the fact he cashed that credit in long, long ago. Molyneux has a cycle, and it needs breaking."

(LANGUAGE WARNING)

I still like the Fable games, but people who take Peter at face value give him just entirely too much credit. He is a schyster.

Wait...is or isn't this a thread about ECW referee Jim Molyneux?

Seriously, anyone who believes a word that Peter Molyneux says at this point hasn't paid attention.

The part I find rather infuriating about him is that Peter used to employ a guy to handle the PR and to reel him in. But Peter just completely ignored him.

Pretty sure that is common sense by now.No need to have a full video for the obvious.

But guys....he's trying to make Fable X the greatest role playing game of all time.

You'd think so but he made a shit load of money on a kickstarter relatively recently and surprise he can't meet his goals.

Danm people, i love Fable as much as the next guy.But shame people still believe his word.

he's done or been responsible for some great games (dungeon keeper, theme hospital, fable 1, fable 2.) but his promises before some of his games come out are ridiculous. fable 3 is going to be better the fable 2, "you wont have to worry about spending too long building up the people's trust in fable 3 like you did in fable 2" (you have to talk at damn near everyone to begin with.), fable: the journey "you'll be able to pick where you go as it wont be on rails and it's the game you'll be glad you had a Kinect for" (it's on rails. I bought it and it's still sealed after seeing game play footage & the demo.) even the fable 1 HD remake had a pop at him with an achievement *it's not on rails* as he left lionhead studios just before it was finalised.

he missed his calling as a used car salesman.

Honestly, I think while he has been responsible for good to great games. A lot of his later games would be better thought of if it weren't for him promising people that the game will contain all of their hopes and dreams!


Like in Fable you can literally do everything! You can bury an acorn and then the tree will grow! That's the one that sticks out the most from Fable to me for some reason

And when he starts work on Fable Y, he'll talk about what a huge failure Fable X was, and his goals to make Fable Y THE greatest role playing game of all time.
