Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

Eidos: Well, actually it's not really like that, look, we can totally do better, really, look here:

Fans:

 

True. It's funny how journos will skin politicians with their questions but when it comes to gaming "journos" - devs and PR-tards are treated like it's communism outside.

 

I feel like the article is misinterpreting the comment. More likely it's from an old demo outright, and he was trying to say "it will change because, you know, it's old." I really doubt Eidos would be so short-sighted as to imply that the press are morons.

 

Pretty sure now they just want to chuck this thing out the door and hope they break even. Risky, though, reviews are getting more and more expensive...

 

Nobody buys reviews. You are forgetting that people writing reviews are the same people who bought their first gaming system - xbox360 only 2 years ago.

Do you expect them to have any clue? Plus game reviewers are usually students who haven't gotten a real job yet and thus write for websites for unstable salary.

 

^I've read a few previews since I was curious to see what the press stance about this reboot was(since for some reboots they are cocksucking all changes no matter what while in other instances they are negative about it...I guess one stance or the other gives more or less hits depending on the game?).In fact I've often read the stance "I've never played the originals" or "I played only Deadly Shadows on Xbox".Still they aknowledged there was fans negativity.Evidently that should give more hits this time.

 

That deleted Dunmer voice would make me a lot sadder if it wasn't shit.

Now could they please ditch focus and prompts?

 

so much derp.

 

Great sign such changes are coming a few months before release.

 

4 days later after my post....

Either I'm prescience or EM is predictable.

 

Swoop the fuck out of here.

 

Fucking this. This just shows that the devs have no clue what to make of Thiaf.

One thing at a time until february...

 

The true will only come when Square shuts down the whole joint.

 

Shame it changes absolutely nothing in the big picture. But just like kazgar says, this line below puts into perspective just how badly cobbled together the game really is.

And it took them this late into development to figure it out? Sheeeeiiiit.

 

So, what's worse, Fallout 3 or nuThief?

 

Fallout 3. One is pretending they know the the IP, thus undermining it in the grand scheme. Their only redemption is handing the spin-off to Obsidian. The other show that they don't know what they are doing, so there is only truth, no lies. Even the product sucks, I'll forgive them. They should also give the spin-off to Obsidian. I want the master thief to have magical invisible ability (just like in Alpha Protocol).

 

It's like c&c between death from endless diarrhea and waking up in Monday morning with awareness of incoming birth from you underback.

My bet is nuThief - at least F3 (and any beth turd) can be patched with some mods to make it somewhat playable. Nothing can save Carrot.

 

To be fair, if that polygon article was correct they've only been working on the actual game for about 8 months.

 

I wonder if b1skit being fired is why the forums are down?
