GamingLives' Adam airs his thoughts on how Peter Molyneux's upcoming God-Em-Up is shaping up. This is neither a preview nor a review, merely thoughts.
"I don’t think any number of changes or feedback will be able to turn Godus into something that I would recommend people spend money on. Being Early Access doesn’t excuse this, as no matter how early it is in its development, you should really have a solid idea of what your title is about. It’s a shame, because it’s an enjoyable proof of concept and the interaction mechanics are pretty sound – it could be a really good game, but I’m just not sure how they’re going to get it there."
In his first major interview in over a year, Molyneux opens up about his legacy, his empathy for the 'No Man's Sky' team, and redefining himself.
I miss this crazy fool. Microsoft could use a game developer like Molyneux again.
He sure talked big about his games. As for them hitting the mark, at least he has an ambitious imagination. He walked the line of what is barely acceptable to promise to gamers without getting huge backlash. Unlike a certain game publisher with their procedurally generated universe.
Georgi Trenev writes: "What we are currently seeing could very well be described as a final push aimed at fixing the damage that has already been done, and only time will tell whether Godus Wars ends up being successful. But one thing’s for sure – you know things are bad when people are still giving you a tough time even after releasing a product for free."
I can't think of many other kickstarter that are a bigger disaster than this one.,oooh.
Godus has re-emerged as Godus War on Steam's Early Access, but this article questions whether it's too late for Molyneux to stage a comeback at this point.
It already is too late. He constantly lies and fails to implement all the features he boasts about on his games.
The guy seems to have an issue with failing to deliver on his promise when it comes to software
A visionary. A man of passion. I respect that.
But also the one individual who made too many promises that him and his team could not deliver. I feel bad for him, but he kinda brought it on himself over the years, and did not learn from his mistakes.
This guy over promises and under delivers. I don't care how good his past games were. He hasn't done anything as of late to make me excited even if he did announce a new project.
He constatnly over sells EVERYTHING and ehen the games don't turn out the way he promised, it's everyone else's fault.
I just couldn't reconcile the act of being an omnipotent, all powerful God, with game play mechanic of slowly unlocking cards that give powers, and finding stickers in chests to power up the cards.
It doesn't make sense.
