I still love watching The Sandlot. It's so good! I have seen Goonies, multiple times, and I still don't really know what it's about. ):

Confession: I don't really like Goonies at all.

But for real it's se-n-pa-i.

Yes I know what you were saying I was jokingly overreacting...

I'm sorry are you implying that this isn't an important discussion?!

I played the game to completion and then played with a bunch of mods (mostly just to add various wacky creature skins). I loved that game. I'm not saying it was perfect, by any stretch of the imagination, but it was one of my games and I loved it. I don't think it's a stretch to say it was formative in defining some of my tastes in games. Also worth noting is that I played this game long before I even knew who the hell Molyneux was. My first experience with him as a personality was Fable 1 Hype Fest, and I didn't play THAT game until years later, and only got it cheap in a bundle of other games (with B&W2, funnily enough), and then that was the only game I ever actually played out of that bundle. And I loved it, despite totally falling into the "oh that Molyneux fucker making false promises" even before having owned the game. The dude over-promises. Yes okay fine. But so do a ton of people in the industry, when given the opportunity. AND! Godus is by no means the only Kickstarter to fail. Fuck, some Kickstarters don't even produce a product! They just give up. At least something came out of this, as allegedly garbage as it is! And they're still working on it, although of course there's no blaming you or anyone else if you just lack the faith. I certainly do. EDIT: I wonder, is pathological optimist more applicable than pathological liar? I don't even think that's a real thing, but I think it describes the situation a lot better. He seems to genuinely believe that he CAN do these things, rather than believe he can't and make the promises, anyway. It's still harmful, of course, because the end result is essentially the same. I'm not denying that. But I think it's more accurate...

Dude just couldn't handle the overwhelming amount of love in his heart.

Real talk: my wish fulfillment when I was a kid wasn't receiving a theoretically infinite amount of money. It was having a group of friends to run around with like that dude had. ):

I've got no issue with calling a dude out for making mistakes. But this kind of shit? Like, what the fuck? This is the biggest fuck-up in the gaming industry? Come on. That's going far beyond reasonably being disappointed or upset with Molyneux. So, yes, I don't feel too bad about "exaggerating" some of the shit in this thread (celebrating the John Walker interview? fucking eh) as a virtual crucifixion. Sorry. Also I liked Black & White a lot! It's one of those games I played More Than Anything Else at the time I got it (probably at least a year after it came out, and used and super cheap), so I dunno what "clusterfuck" means. I really, honestly don't. B&W was fun. Fable was fun. Fable 2 was fun! Maybe none of them lived up to expectations because the guy doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. WHATEVER! The games are still fun. Fable 3 was allegedly shit. Never played it. Curiosity is... weird as hell. Godus, now Godus is an obvious example of a clusterfuck. So he's clearly gone downhill, for basically everyone, at least since Fable 2. Great. Be upset! Fine! But the hyperbolic accusations of Peter Molyneux being a pathological liar? Claiming that this is the biggest fuck-up out of all industryfuck-ups? No, no thanks. This thread is gross. (Oh I never played B&W2, either, but I understand that one was also shit. But given the apparently high level of hatred directed at B&W1, I don't even know if I can trust that without playing it myself.)

Okay. You tell me why I should sit here and argue with a virtual crucifixion of an imperfect game developer.

No wait I'm changing my answer. The Sandlot.

Haha okay whatever.

Jumanji!

Oh yeah these sort of things never happen in the industry never ever Molyneux's definitely the first and only high-profile game developer to fuck up to this degree!

Oh what. I backed that one too haha. I must've missed the Kickstarter post that said they were making a new one. Oh boy!

The important thing is HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED WOOO YEAHHHHHHHHH

i don't even know who you are anymore

ilu2 ming xoxo

Which one? I've got a couple I regret backing, but I knew the risk, so I'm not like fussed about it. But I definitely wouldn't back them again.

lol this thread certainly is disgusting to read

Pretty much exactly how I feel.

Do all you people complaining about pinpoint accuracy also hate Super Meat Boy? Because, to be perfectly honest, Shovel Knight pales in comparison to SMB in that regard.

They effectively did by selling the first half before the second half was done.

I think it's a great game, and would be even if it was 2.5D or whatever and didn't have that NES nostalgia factor. It's just really good.

That's why nobody should use the forum search! GEEZ!!!!
