Believe or not, but the original Krauser is modeled after Sgt. Barnes (Tom Berenger) from Platoon. They both have similar facial scars. Krauser also has elements of Rambo, and is more or less his evil counterpart. The remake Krauser becomes a Vergil expy.
It's the difference between a passion project and Oscar bait. Tlou feels like something written the way it is, not because the writer feels those emotions but because they mathematically understand what tugs at people's heart strings. Another analogy would be your best friend who's a dork but you love them anyway cause you're buds versus a politician who glad hands and says "all the right things" because it's required for their job.
Not so long ago I would've agreed with you. But nowadays he's doing the NFT cryptocurrency gaming grift, and somehow found success from it, if I remember correctly too, which kinda makes it worse.
Ah I said I liked him, I didn't say he wasn't a moron.
Like him all you want, hut Peter is just another schemer, and he's know it. He's pulling the same bullshit with a different face. He's only done a few good games. Everything else was either bad, mediocre, or never delivered. Molyneux hasn't done anything useful since Fable II.
I haven't played Fable 2, but I did play a bit of Fable 1 and I wouldn't really classify it as something useful - I mean even in entertainment terms. It was already a very molyneux high concept that fell completely flat. A game which concepts certainly looked extraordinary in his imagination, and completely failed to be implemented.
Whether Fable is useful or not depends on the person. I personally didn't care about the franchise either way, but I know my older brother likes the games. While the first game was definitely unique with a time, obviously better things have come along the way and out classed it.
That honestly just makes it worse. That's the problem with the guy. Whenever he starts on a new project he ends up doing the same crap over and over again where he over promises, under delivers, or the project never gets off the ground, only to jump ship immediately like nothing happened and start the "next big thing'. The fact that he's going all in on nfts shows that he has learned nothing for over two decades. As far as I'm concerned, he's a delusional windbag that became a schemer (unintentionally). He still has to hold responsibility for his action. I can't like anf respect a guy like that. I know he ain't the worst person in the world, but the guy's got to have some type of self-awareness. Feeding into the self delusions does nothing for me, and it just makes me dislike the person the more. We got too many of those type already as it is.
Wish I could feel as generous, but selling digital land linked to NFTs, in my eyes at least, leaves little room for benefit of the doubt that he ain't aware how much of a scam it all is. There's not much there to be able to spin into a positive, it's just hyper capitalist landlordism with nary even the bare minimum claim of being anything more. Some ppl can reach a point where they lose their mojo, last few projects don't take off, bills gotta be paid, lifestyles to be maintained, selling out becomes a more palettable option for financial stability especially if one doesn't feel their reputation has much left to lose by doing so either.
I’d love to see a movie where whatever bs comes out of politicians’ mouthes is auto-translated into what they actually are thinking. That would be pretty funny.

I dunno. I'm rather glad that the Master Sword is relatively simple in design compared to the kinds of extravagant weapons other games can have. Stuff like the Ultima Weapon Keyblade in KH2 would feel out of place.
Maybe something a bit like the Psy Locks from the Ace Attorney series?
I think it's the wing-shaped guard that makes it look goofy. I mean, I know that's supposed to be a representation of the Hylian crest, but it just looks chunky and impractical.
It’s certainly an opinion and one you’re entitled to have but considering some of the total bullshit in games that passes for a sword, the Master Sword is practically a study in realism.
The Keyblade is just a dumb weapon. It's not a blade, it's just a key. Or maybe a Keybat, or Keyclub, or Keymace. Definitely not a blade, though.
Proportionally, sure, but this is supposed to be the Master Sword; the sword of swords. And its design doesn't give that impression at all. Unless that's the idea behind it, that this hokey looking sword is actually super powerful, but I don't think that's the case. I think this is supposed to be one of those iconic videogame designs.
I think that's kinda the idea; something that is not a weapon used as a weapon. It's neat when it's a dorky cartoon kid wielding it against dorky shadow goons, but as soon as overly cool guys in black trenchcoats start using them it loses its charm and just becomes fucking stupid.
