Decline The new Thiaf game is MASSIVE decline - Eidos Forum Refugee Camp

Top seller during an extremely slow week. At least 100 copies sold so far!

 

I've read in one review that the "loot" you get to collect is so over the place and can be just about ANYTHING, the game should be called Hoardar not Thiaf

Supposedly, even old syringes count as loot Drugdealar

 

Yeah ive watched about two hours worth of gameplay videos on youtube and youre constantly picking up stuff (like in literally every 10 seconds or so), its very annoying, especially with those repetetive and drawn-out animations.

 

Lurking this thread has created such bizarre feelings in me - what if you are all just lying? How about this concept of nuThief being actually such a franchise-rape is just one horrid dream?

I'm going to download the game. I already feel dirty. I'm picking up the phone, am ready to call the nearest friendly asylum. GUGU GAGA.

 

So don't steal anything. DUH.

 

Ironic considering you cannot jump in the actual game....

 

It's a lot harder when you play it like a Thief game instead of spamming rat plague all the time. Use the achievements as a guide and play without enhancements and violence on hardest difficulty and it's a very solid experience.

 

The statement is contextual, just like the jump.

 

Comrades, everything is Space Bar.

 

They'll just have to swoop the fuck outta there instead.

 

Gameindustry does a decent roundup of reviews: Critical Consensus: Thief struggles with its ancestry

Some quotes (which are mostly quotes from other reviews):

 

Or username to 'addled'.

 

They didn't do it in a Texas accent, though. What feels natural in a well-written and well-acted script can become out of place in the kind of utter mess that is Thief 4. These kind of issues feed each other.

(But writing a good AI bark set is a challenge anyway. I have tried it before and failed.)

 

Now that we are on the subject of thief 3 anyway, does anyone know a fix for windows 7 64 bit machines? The game crashes at the same point everytime

Check out this one.

 

Sweet, thanks.

 

I reached some factory and encountered a guard.
Killed him by tapping a single button.
Deleting the game now. Done with it.

 

italian journos are a joke (except me, of course ), they're either totally, absolutely, utterly incompetent or they make a bragging point of not playing before rewiewing.
also they never ever take their words back, even if put in front of crushing evidence: "invisible war"? "our review code was perfect, whoever has technical issues it's because he got a pirated copy".

 

I did a ghost run on the hardest difficulty without any magic upgrades, got all those achievements at once. It was moderately difficulty but abusing blink with mouse aim still made it too easy, IMO. It's very solid though, I agree, especially with one or more of those restrictions imposed.

 

Deleted this turd.

Don't bother trying it. I could improve my German over the time I spent with this game. And I spent one-two hours or so.

 

There was also some sort of scandal from some years ago about some journos not playing their review codes because otherwise they couldn't get the magazines out in time,employees not being payed much and some university courses by people(affiliated to edge italy/eurogamer.it)to teach game design being p. much frauds but I remember little atm and I stopped following the whole thing anyway after a while.Has there been new drama about that?

Also link to any of your reviews plz

 

Guys, this is not the same game as Thief 1 or Thief 2, but that isn't an indictment. There were a lot of ridiculously bad elements in the original game.
For instance, you could "hide" in a completely bare corner, where the walls and floor could be clearly seen, yet somehow you're invisible. How does that work?
The AI was the best we'd ever seen at the time, but that really isn't saying much.The bad guys could be less than an inch from your face, the lightgem partly lit, and they still wouldn't see you.
Sound: What thief runs around in shoes that sound like oak blocks on concrete?
The light gem: hell, there are mods in the original games to remove this giant, glowing wart that's right in the center of your vision. I would argue the new version is much, much improved.
Jumping/running/the swoop: Tell me, who didn't exploit the original jumping mechanism to outrun their enemies? You could kill yourself by running into a wall at speed. This is Thief, not Mario Brothers. After playing for an hour, I would argue that the new movement feels pretty natural.
Even Thief 2 had shitty graphics, by *any* standard of the time. Thi4f (or whatever we're calling it here) is light-years ahead.
Sound: How many times have I watched Benny/etc go on a tirade, without moving, then pantomime his whole tirade without speaking? The voice/animation sync was frankly not very good in the originals.
Writing: Guys, I *loved* the first game. LOVED it. I bet I played the pre-release demo 40 times. However, I gotta say that the writing in Thief 1 isn't holding up to nostalgia, though. Thief 2 was the better game here. T1 had a bunch of missions that really didn't follow a coherent plot much, the whole thing feels kinda disjointed now.

So you mean just like in thief 1 when you blackjacked someone by tapping one button?
