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

[aris]

Well at least the graphics look good. Might pick it up at steam sales a day to have something to waste time on when I feel bored.

Seems like it is mandatory to have a waifu following you around in first person games in this day and age.

But what will you do about fall damage? OPPRESSIVE GAME DESIGN!

Sequel plans are underway:

Thief launches today in the States, and Eidos Montreal’s Nick Cantin has stressed that there’s already scope for a sequel.

“Nothing’s announced yet but we’re very keen to see how people respond to the game,” lead level designer Daniel Windfeld Schmidt told OXM last week.

Then; Cantin chipped in to say, “We’ve built a really big universe around the first game, and there’s a lot of layers to it – the world is really deep. So there’s a lot of possibilities to jump on.”

Schmidt concluded, “Thief is really unique in its mentality. When it came out it was new, it was fresh, it was very different to all the other games of the time, which were very one-directional. I think we have the same situation with next gen game consoles now,” added Cantin. “There’s no game out there that’s really like this.”

Also you guys need to not get off on the fact that game journos are down-thumbing Thief 4, which is purely a consequence of marketing stillbirth and not of any quality of the game itself.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Gas Cuntin.

I was gonna say it's a result of their checks not getting cleared.

Enough with this conspiracy B.S. several AAA-games have received mediocre reviews, they weren't all cases of not being bribed enough or not marketed enough. Fucking confirmational bias.

Oh please do tell more.

All the Bioshocks were strictly worse than Thiaf, but they got amazing reviews. Why's that? Could have something to do with the "marketing" budget in the hundreds of millions?

 

[Bubbles]

Thief's writing and voice acting is much worse than anything in the Bioshocks.

Nah, not even close. Definitely not the first one.

Well that depends on the eye of the beholder now, doesn't it? Furthermore, bioshock wasn't marketed as "going back to the roots", on the contrary.

 

[adddeed]

Bioshock 1 and 2 were pretty damn fun.

Unlikely.

So is this better than Dishonored?

Not sure about better, but it will probably be cheaper than Dishonored soon.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

It seems to run fine on my PC.

 

[skacky]

I've been playing it a bit and the game runs like dogshit on my war machine. Huge framerate drops even indoors. For the record I can run Metro LL on ultra at 60fps.

In 5 years decliners like you will be saying that about Thiaf too.

And no Bioshit wasn't fun, for any realistic estimation of fun anyway. It was fucking retarded, unredeemable trash and committed offenses far greater than Thiafs cringe-y writing and VO.

Nah it was fun. Played both games twice. Infinite was trash though.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I found the first Bioshock to a rather thin First-Person Shooter with an interesting setting, premise, characters and story, even though they were all recycled from System Shock 2. Won't ever replay it, though.

Bioshock 2 was just bad, mmkay?

EDIT: Typo.

 

[AstroZombie]

No, not even close.

 

[adddeed]

Nah Bioshock 2 was an improvement actually. And i plan to replay them for the third time soon. Something about them is really appealing. Gameplay is great too.

Yes i have played both System Shock 1 and 2. They are also great.

 

[Infinitron]

Bioshock 1 was a consolized/half-assed SS2 clone.

Bioshock 2 was a fun shooter inspired by Bioshock 1.
