So, as someone who got hyped because he is the man behind Black & White and Fable. What am I missing?
The rest of his portfolio.
Back then, I think he has someone telling him "no" and filling out the rest of the game with sensible stuff.
Now, he just throws ideas at the wall (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiosity:_What%27s_Inside_the_Cube%3F ) and sees what sticks. Since he went on his own, he hasn't fully delivered a single game, and the ideas are wacky at best and horrible at worst.
And unlike Hello Games, when Molyneux overpromises, he doesn't spend years implementing every promised feature.
BTW, the exaggeration goes all the way back to Fable, the launch of which was plagued by lies that Molyneux and his team told about the state of the game and the features it would have. That doesn't mean it wasn't a great game, just that it wasn't what he promised.
I mean already Black And White wasn't up to what he promised. And for Populous I don't know, because I wasn't following gaming news then, but needed to learn to read first =D
Ah, thanks for the info.
