Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

[argan]

It's also a song name by Evanescence, might be just that.

Examples?

Mainly Viktoria being the usual apologetic mod trying to joke everything away and b1skit being a condescending ass. I just saw they closed it.

 

[Manjuice Nutella]

Viktoria = who? b1skit? What's this stuff about anti-depressants?

Apologies Codex, but I haven't really been following the Thi4f drama.

Viktoria, the artist formerly known as MyImmortal, is an EM apologist who cannot into logic.

Oh Fuck. Now I want to try out my writing skills.

THiaf Is A Fag.

"Newest Deviations" indeed.

Deviant Art is probably one of the highlights of teh Internetz though:

[Ninjerk]

Man, that last one almost looks real.

 

[CrisGer]

i am so NOT good at sneaking..i studied and researched the first three of this series..but really. i HATE to get caught in real life and in a game even more so....so it is like living with dread and playing with fear.....but the last one had some nice lighting .... and mods make the earlier ones nice enough. will see how this one goes. but really....sneaking ..... not fun.

 

[Gord]

So, whose alt is CrisGer? VotS? Or Konjad who decided to live out his Codex trolling fantasy now that he's banned?

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Does that accurately describe MyImmortal (the 52 and welsh part)?

Well, since the info is available out in the open (I made a backup of the page just in case)...

 

[Hornawkawk]

so it is like living with dread and playing with fear.....

It sort of is the point of the game and it means that the devs did a great job. The tense atmosphere adds to the immersion and ultimately makes you feel what the character (Garret) feels.

You can't fool me by telling obvious things to yourself, Koni.

If you think I am the recently departed Konjad, you are mistaken. I've been lurking for quite some time now.

Cant wait for the next step: First-Person Shooters for blind people

 

[Ninjerk]

Laser light shows for blind people.

 

[AlexOfSpades]

I hope this doesnt become a trend - masquerading shitty streamlining and game design as false morality. "Oh, we did it for the deaf people because we think about minorities! Focus isnt about handholding-bullet time crap, and the audio inferior to the older games is all to make the game more accessible to deaf people!" All right. Let's keep it up then.

"Contextual jumping was added to help players with disabilities, such as people with some fingers severed. Here at Eidos, we think of the minorities! Learn some tact, Ninjerk!"

"The blue filter instead of darkness was added to help people with poor sight! Learn some tact!"

"Garrett is androgynous because we support Gay Rights! Learn some tact~"
The moderators are always trying to excuse poor game design choices, its obvious. But this one really hurt my heart.

 

[Ninjerk]

This is where American society is going.

LOL. Learn some tact indeed.
Too bad Thief is a franchise I actually care about, all that stupidity and (internet) drama could offer me so much enjoyment otherwise.

 

[Darth Roxor]

They told me I could be anything.

So I became a deaf master thief that couldn't jump.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I'm just waiting for the day when someone is selling a cardboard box for $50, and the only thing inside it is a hand-written note on which is written:

"Congratulations, you just did something awesome in your imagination!"

It feels to me that Thiaf is taking a pretty big step in that direction.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

That's because white thiefs can't jump.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

That's because Garrett is gay.

 

[AstroZombie]

I might be 6 pages late, but what exactly is swooping? Like the thing in DX:HR you switch covers while in 3rd person with rolling and whatnot?

Edit: just saw those new screens on tumblr, it's like they ripped off the exact rooms from Dishonored (the first assassination mission) but without the lights on the ceilings.

Garrett has a silent rocket shoved on his arse that allows him to dash short distances.

 

[Morgoth]

Don't fuck up this legendary IP, Eidos. Learn some tact.

Its like we just entered the twilight zone of moderator stupidity.
