Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

[DalekFlay]

Good suggestions Alex. I also hope they ditch the post-apocalyptic setting, it's just too depressing.

Oh hey here's a new article. http://www.vg247.com/2013/10/11/thi...esistance-at-launch-a-confident-eidos-states/

“When I read a lot of the comments I can see where they’re coming from, and I can guarantee that part of that is just ‘wait and see, judge for yourself.’ Hopefully it’ll be good. We’re fairly confident, but then art is very delicate to judge – it’s an opinion.

UH-OOOOOOOH

I'm expecting them to ditch SPECIAL, or at least heavily change what it is, and the butt-hurt here will be fun to witness.

Butthurt here? No-one with half a brain is going to give a shit. Fallout is dead, how they further mutilate the zombie is irrelevant.

And hopefully 15 years from now people will be talking about what they remember about this Thief

People aren't going to be playing this shit 15 days after it comes out (barring panic mode steam sales at rock bottom prices) let alone 15 years from now.

The problem with expectations these days is that people expect a sequel for a game released in the 90′s/early 2000 to play and look EXACTLY the same as it did back then. This is where people have seriously flawed expectations, since gaming have moved on from the simple gameplay mechanics from the past.

Change the look of a character for example, and you will have major uproar. Change the voice of someone, same thing happens.

Fact is, no sequel for a beloved game released 10 years ago will NEVER ever surpass it, simply because nostalgia.

This mentality is why we don't have nice things, good sequels, and flying cars. Because we accepted mediocrity if it was wrapped up in the shiny wrappings of 'progress'.

New Vegas is a great game. I bathe with it, I whisper sweet nothings to it on my pillow. Sometimes I think it reciprocates.

No matter what your thoughts are on the modern Fallout games however the sweet, glorious butt-hurt here will still be amazing when they announce Fallout 4. I'm sure I will be just as pissed, but that doesn't mean I won't enjoy the grand rage that results from it.

EM, add rom... I mean, don't add romance options! I don't want to see Garrett raping anyone! Especially Bosso!

 

[Echo Mirage]

Just change Nu-garrett to Rance and change the title to Rance: Thief of virtue. Instantly better game !

Assassin's Creed REMIX EDITION sounds better.

Assassin's Creed REMIX EDITION sounds better.

Only if it shipped with a physical copy of Jade Raymond.

She's not fappable, I don't want her to even get near me.

This shit makes me so mad. How the fuck are the original Thiefs' gameplay mechanics "simple" in comparison to this shit they've shown for Thiaf? In this new shit you can SWOOP so that you don't even make any sound, meaning you have fewer variables in your stealth to manage. How the fuck is that more complex?

Googled Jade Raymond, found Lisa Ann's little sister-clone.

 

[Gurkog]

Jade Raymond is 7/10, would bang. If she developed good games the score would be 10/10.

I've managed to keep /r/games raging non stop for 3 days now in multiple threads. I wonder how much I've cost Eidos in lost sales with this.

But it is cool, I mean, when you exit Vault 101 for the first time, sad, alone in the Wasteland searching for your missing father. . . makes u think

Yeah I mean... fathers and sons, man... ya know? Fathers and sons. It's deep.

 

[tuluse]

It's just so easy to connect with the character because I have a father in real life.

I'm glad you are smart enough to fully appreciate the medium's value as an art and maturity of the talented folks at Bethesda

Excellent work, bro. Keep up the good work.

If you think this is bad, just wait for the Fallout 4 reveal. Butthurt apocalypse now!

As a big Fallout fan I was never angry about change of gameplay style or mutilating SPECIAL, that was to be expected from Bethesda and anyone who still had doubt how F3 would turn out after Beth picked it up was delusional. What angered me the most was beyond horrible writing, lore rape and complete mess of game world, this is why I managed to enjoy NV despite the shitty engine.

While playing The Dark Mod missions, I realized something. I'm not bothered by the thief protagonist guy not sounding like Garrett and not saying things like Garrett would. Because for me, TDM mission are not about Garrett. They are separate missions about some noname thieves, who do their heists, their robbery. I would accept the new Thief game more, if they wouldn't force me to believe that NuGarrett is Garrett. Because he is not. He doesn't sound like that, doesn't act like that and doesn't dress like that. They should have made up a new protagonist, instead raping a beloved character.
