I'm amazed that people are still buying into his games. If you were to go by Peter's history, it's quite likely that the "life-changingly amazing" thing in the middle of the cube is a message like "Sorry Mario, but the princess is in another cube".

I personally got burned somewhere around Fable and I'm never[0] going to get one of his games again..

I don't care what people say, Black and White was an excellent game which was much too far ahead of its time.

[Disclaimer: I don't know B&W 2, I'm basing myself only on the first B&W]

Black and White was a good game which unfortunately was far behind what its originating concept promised to deliver.

I liked B&W as well.

It also came out 12 years ago.

Exactly. I got burned by Fable moreso than any other game in my life, so hyped that I was by how he talked about it. In the end it was a very limited and lackluster linear RPG with some The Sims thrown in. Fun for a weekend. But no let down in my life will ever surpass B.C. To this day prehistory is the theme of the dream game I want to make.
