Peter Molyneux & GODUS Kickstarter

i don't think molynieux is bad, i just think he's mediocre. i wasn't crazy about Popolus, didn't think Fable was that bad. Just middle-of-the-road, all of them.

(sure Syndicate was fun, but i guess everyone can get one right if they try)

So i bought this game (Had $15 in steam wallet so only $5). I played it for 2 hours, I have to say, it is "unique". The main screen says its only %42 done, but it has lots of stuff in it already. Changing the terrain is somewhat cumbersome, you have to be very precise to move ground.

Lots of confusing things atm to figure out, but the game has lots of potential. One thing that I find very awesome is that as you expand town, you find shrines that villagers have to repair that grant bonuses, but one shrine you find and upgrade automatically puts you in a popup window that challenges other players playing to a deathmatch! That was surprising to say the least, I guess I declined it when I closed window on accident. lol

It is generic in every way possible graphically speaking, its not bad graphics, just generic looking. Which is fine for this purpose since its lots of stuff on screen. I think the biggest draw to this game is that random stuff can happen, my territory expanded and a wolf ate half my population before I killed it with my god powers. lol

I will play it again for sure, i'm interested in how it shapes up..right now lots of unnecessary clicking going on to do mundane things, my fingers hurt from it But I had fun the 2 hours I played, so that is something for sure.

imaheadcase, have you put anymore time into it? I didn't know it was available for early access on Steam.

Just wondering how close to being like Populous it is if you ever played that.

TotalBiscuit made a video on it, and I don't recall him being too enthused in its current state. However, I do recall there being potential given the game is supposedly only 40% done.

Yah, apparently the "online" aspect is just a silly bot, however the more shines you open up allow you to play with steam friends. Which is odd, given you should be able to from the start?

Anyway, the game has got really tedious, my population is almost 1000 now, its more or less the same thing over and over, it has some interesting challenges, like building up near a mountain without more land area to build on makes it difficult to progress.

Populous was by far much better. %40 done is understandable, it just seems like a base game atm, nothing really to work towards and mundane tasks.

IMHO what the game should do from the start is pit you against a AI opponent someplace in world, even if its easy mode, and other players on steam automatically get matched to you when they play it. So you get singleplayer/multicombined without really knowing it.

Player jumping in games like this is fantastic, because each person that takes over PC AI would use different strategies. Just my two cents.

I'm going to hold off judgment on the game till it is close to complete, just so much "what ifs" and "hows" going on. It has potential to be fantastic, or just terrible atm. lol

never understood the hype with fable 3. I played it for about 2 days and got terribly bored and dropped it.

It was far more interesting to play it with someone, but when I played it in co-op, we mostly messed around. As for the game itself, it has an awful story.

maybe that's why. The story was so uninteresting to me I got tired of it by day 2.
