That bad King Kong game was only in development for a year

That the game came out at all is commendable.

Hopefully GameMill Entertainment (I mean ffs even the name speaks for itself) gets fucking buried and whoever is left that’s worth a damn will get hired on someplace that actually has standards.

Peter's problem isn't that he makes promises that are going to be broken; his problem is that he lies through his teeth as readily as breathing.

Peter's problem isn't that he makes promises that are going to be broken; his problem is that he lies through his teeth as readily as breathing.

Also arrogant and egotistical.

"The press used to take up an enormous amount of my time," says Molyneux. After a while, though, everything suddenly died down and he was left wondering what to do with his spare time.

Ohhh, so it’s the press’s fault you couldn’t work, but now that they’re not you’re aimlessly meandering through your chosen field? Can’t wait to see what’s next! At least if he’s going to be coding he can start by blaming himself for any technical shortcomings.

I feel like the only reason why we don't talk shit about Peter M. is because he rarely makes public statements. Yeah, he's lies are pretty bad, but unlike Todd Howard he doesn't talk constantly.

One of the biggest lies from Peter IMO was this one

It was too good to be true. Milo's AI seems terrifyingly smart to rival that of today's state-of-the-art AI

We all do, we just don't do it as much because he's become less and less of a presence. The only time Peter ever comes up is a reminder that he still exists. Otherwise, I don't care what happens to him at this point.

 

[sXeth]

Molyneux, thats a name I haven't heard in a long long time *end Obi wan voice*

But yeah, the dude hasn't had much presence since his brief stint as the Xbox talking head guy which was like... 20 years ago. Even by the time of Curiosity everyone mostly said "shill be shilling" and ignored it, if they had a brain. And then he vanished.

I'm surprised he hasn't just fallen into a pyramid scheme involving AI art and NFTs or something.

Peter always goes for whatever the next scheme is. He did nfts for about half a year then moved on to something else. He tried to stick with it, but you didn't last long with it other than the metaverse thing. Eventually he dropped that too.

Holy shit, maybe I won't be so butthurt about the pachinko fiasco anymore. PLEASE DON'T FUCK THIS UP, Konami!

Damn, AW2 is looking to be the third contender for the best horror TPS this year!

It looks just as wacky as previous entries, except a bit more "vacation-y" and less violent?
