"We said this simple thing - “Why don't we change Godus into a RTS style game with God-game capabilities and landscape modification, a RTS game with a huge amount of variation and power, the ability to approach each battle in a different way?”
"We sat down and said if we’re going to make an RTS game in Godus and do it right - What are we going to have to do? Yes, we could create battles on Godus landscape and yes the landscape modification could be wonderful, you could create your own landscapes, turrets and use followers strategically - but there were a few things that really got in way. "
"One of those examples, which our Godus PC community had been crying out about for a long time, was the nature that you collected your belief - that didn't really fit within a RTS game. Our aim was to make each battle an intensive 20 minutes - not 2 hours or 10 hours but 20 minutes. So we did the logical thing, we make the collection of belief completely automatic - so the player could concentrate on the troops."

The original comment WAS on point and specifically related to Peter Molyneux's reputation in the industry. My point, since it is so clearly lost, was this: even with his damaged rep I would still trust Peter with my money before I would EVER give Chris another dime.
Kxmode wrote on Feb 4, 2016, 11:06:I have no intention of silencing criticism of the game. In fact I am extremely critical of the game where criticism is due. You, on the otherhand, go around spouting demonstrably untrue bullshit and turning every topic into your own personal rant against the game and its creator.
I'm not really surprised by this. I've had the displeasure of encountering people like theyarecomingforyou on the RSI forums and Star Citizen Subreddit. It appears they are on a mission to go around the Internet and bully others into silence for daring to post anything "disparaging" against Cloud Imperium Games, Star Citizen, or Chris Roberts. See, it doesn't work here on Blues News because unlike other sites this site is a bastion of free expression FOR and AGAINST things. Kudos to Stephen Heaslip for keeping it that way.

Seems to be a bit of projecting and thread derailment, or at least diversion. Kxmode's post mentioned Chris Roberts certaintly, but no mention was made of Star Citizen, unless I've been asleep and it's been in developement under his capable watch for 7 years?
Mebbe I gotta learn that new english they teach in schools these days. I'd read that paragraph of his and instantly a image of Wing Commander the movie leapt to mind, in fact reminding me that Roberts had been busy doing the Hollyweird thing before SC became his new Shiny.
'Coarse I'm closer to 100yrs old these days than not, so it could be massive neuronal misfirings going off in my brain pan.
God I luv this place. Group hug! (Hey! Who's groping?)

I find it interesting that you have the exact opposite perspective. theyarecoming doesn't want ANYTHING negative spoken about Star Citizen because he's financially backing it and fears project collapse. You don't want to hear ANYTHING about it period because you hate it. "You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't" about sums it up. The long and short is this. Where and when I feel it is appropriate I will continue to use Star Citizen and Chris Roberts for the topic at hand. You're more than welcome to skip my comments if the mere mention of Star Citizen makes you throw up a little.
I don't hate it, you're projecting. I'm just tired of the endless topics, baiting like in this thread and arguments surrounding it. There's really no need or purpose to dragging it into other threads, especially when there are active ones in the side bar already. But since you're determined no problem, I will start running it up the flag pole in the future if I see it instead. Same goes for him.

If you want to look for someone who appears to be "waging a little one man crusade" against "unfavorable" comments then look to theyarecomingforyou.
I don't see theyarecoming outside of Star Citizen threads stumping for the game or something. I also don't see him bullying anyone, what a complete abuse of that word. He engages on that topic because it interests him and limits it to those topics. He's really one sided about it...but not any more than you. I don't really care if you clash with him or which one of you got personal at some point in the past, like many readers here I don't really care about Star Citizen at all and just want the SC diarrhea kept to those threads. Its not like there has been a lack of them.

How about you just stop derailing other threads that are totally unrelated to that game? You want to wage a little one man crusade then whatever, if you really nothing better to do with your time you have my pity but at least spare the rest of us when we're trying to read about OTHER FUCKING GAMES.

I'll make you a deal. I'll stop talking about Star Citizen when CIG actually releases a working; functional; non-tech demo. In other words a fucking game. Think you can handle that, bruv?

I would trust Peter with my money before I would trust Chris Roberts. At least Peter stayed in the gaming industry and didn't head off to the UK equivalent of Hollywood to produce shitty movies for seven years.

It has microtransactions LOL. Some fuckin nerve of this guy, re-releasing his unfinished game to circumvent bad reviews.

One way to recoup an investment. Rebrand, take out the most annoying part of the original game (excessive clicking), and hack in an opposing force.

Patience is that thing that allows you to wait and see. We'll see what happens with SC soon enough, meanwhile we already saw what happened with Godus... which is failed project by any definition.
Patience allowed me to put my money in around January 2013 and WAIT until July 2015. Nothing happening, forced a refund.
