Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

[Skunkpew]

Bunnyhopping in Thief 2 is slightly faster than running.

I can't believe the amount of bullshit that guy is spewing with his posts. Just look at that: http://forums.eidosgames.com/showpost.php?p=1943475&postcount=399

All that posts tells me is that they're blatantly copying Assassin's Creed's AWESOME button formula.

Why they can't just make this an AC game and get it over with, I don't know.

what baffles me more then the shit he is saying is the smug tone which he uses. Since when is this normal? In always thought officials have to use some very polite language even if they are annoyed by the customer or critics in general. One time I nearly got fired because I slipped and answered in some slightly sarcastic tone in one of my previous jobs. I was nowhere near the tone this idiot uses which wakes the urge to punch him in the face even if Iwould agree with him.

GOT SOME RARE THINGS ON SALE, STRANGER!

Yeah, but it never hurts to see it again.

My first thought was like, every place in the world has their idiots. But that guy is their community manager - wow

 

[catfood]

I hope that guy gets AIDS.

So being able to jump whenever you feel like isn't "immersive", but a buttom prompt telling when to jump is? My bullshit-o-meter just exploded.

The Doritos Moment here is the sheer amount of rhetorical weaselry he puts into his piece. It takes a particularly shameless corporate whore to justify a serious feature-cutting decision all the while painting potential naysayers as nostalgia-riddled bunny-hopping idiots who don't get Thief. This shitweasel is def. earning his keep.

Anybody claiming the game will somehow be ruined because you can't free jump, when there is no reason to be jumping

I don't see myself playing this game, when there is no reason to be bying.

Amazing

 

[JarlFrank]

The way this keeps developing, I don't even want to pirate this...

 

[Zewp]

I'm, going to pirate it 17 times, just out of spite. I'm not going to play it, though.

 

[JarlFrank]

But then it appears like 17 people actually have enough interest in the game to pirate it.

 

[skacky]

There's a new trailer up. If they could spend that money making an actual decent game rather than fancy trailers, that would be nice. Oh it features lazy voice acting and it also recycles scenes from previous trailers because why not.

 

[retardation]

What if I run out of noise arrows and want to jump in order to attract the guards and slip past them? This shit is laughable. Human Revolution was a good game, Deus Ex or not, but Thiaf sounds like shit, with fundamentally flawed approach to design.

But that would be a player-driven sandbox mechanic instead of one not immediately anticipated by the game's developers, thus you're not allowed to do it. Because of course, games like Thief, System Shock 2 and Deus Ex are all about restrictive mechanics within a tightly controlled framework which must be mastered solely as designed.

The new Garret voice is

Might as well have got Nolan North, for fuck's sake. And that script, oh god, it's like the first draft they wrote in 2 minutes and just rolled with it. Not to mention the generic indie rock + epic orchestral soundtrack... urhgghg.

 

[Infinitron]

Holy fuck, February: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/08/16/visible-city-thief-out-february/

Sounds like they might be rushing it?

 

[skacky]

The project costed so much money as a whole I wouldn't be surprised if it was the case. But there's no way this turd can be released in Feb 2014. Just look at the E3 demo.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

Is it just me or does it seem like in addition to mascara-eyes and a BDSM-style leather suit Garrett has long, painted fingernails now? They really want to milk that goth-emo shit for all that it's worth huh?

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Holy fuck, the amount of pretentious trying of being cool is so high so I spilled my shit all over the keyboard.

This is how I imagined Human Revolution to be, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Now I wanted to be pleasantly surprised by staying neutral to the game, but instead got pissed.

It's embarrassing how much they try to ape Dishonored.

And it's especially embarrassing that Dishonored will probably turn out the more worthy successor (if only "spiritual") of the original Thief than the new Thief.

 

[skacky]

The Brigmore Witches has a much more powerful Thief vibe than Thi4f. Ironic, heh.
