Topic: Movie and game director quality sorting thingamajig

Yes, that name sucks. I couldn't think of anything better so;
Anyway, this is basically a trial for an opinion-testing method. This is how it works
Each day, a film or game director is selected. From there; We rate their films/games as good, meh or bad. (Explanations as to why you rank the films the way they are is recommended) If you haven't seen/played one of their films/games, give it a N/A.
First commenter after me gets to pick the 1st director
PS If it is a director in a non-directing role, it doesn't count. The director has to direct.

Director #1. Peter Molyneux

Ho boy...
Actually, molyneux was more of a designer/programmer... So, if we are changing the rules to any significant works with the persons involvement, then yes.

You know a thread's gonna be good if it has "thingamajig" in the title.

Yes... As I said, I am bad at coming up with thread names.

Ready?
Fusion
Populous
Powermonger
Populous 2
Syndicate
Theme Park
Magic Carpet
Hi Octane
Gene Wars
Dungeon Keeper
Black and White
Fable
Fable 2
Fable 3
Fable the Journey
Curiosity

Populous, Syndicate, Theme Park, Dungeon Keeper, Black and White- Good (These games are all amazing, and you know it)
Magic Carpet, Fable 1-2- Meh (Magic Carpet is good, but has aged poorly, and Fable 1 and 2 are too simplified for my tastes
Curiosity, Fable 3- Bad (Curiosity was a self-indulgent piece of meaningless cross-promotion and Fable 3 watered down Fable somehow)

N/A, as I haven't played any of his games...

The word you were looking for is auteur.

@navi I don't think we've quite reached the auteurism phase in gaming yet.

Also, I thought we were going to talk about their design ethic in general, not just their games Anyway, I couldn't get into Fable since I was late to the party and it felt too much like any other RPG ever. Godus and Populous sound interesting, and for some reason I thought Reus was also included in that group but it's not.

I like how he gets excited about his ideas. That kind of passion is good.

Kojima would like a word with you.

I'm already confused.
