Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

[Angthoron]

The livestreams make me think that THIAF should've been called HUGGER the way Hurrett is holding his arms out all the time.

Just in case someone tries to spread propaganda before launch, here's the screenshot I took from youtube walkthrough:

So much for Gorreto being "The Master Thief"
His mastery is so masterly that he still has room to improve his masterful stealth.
Jesus, after watching some twitch streams I'm not even going to bother pirating this game. It just looks like crap. Especially that forced Asylum level that wasn't scary, just boring as hell.

I'm sure that Thief and the other LGS classics were products of hard and passionate work, but there's no need to be overly romantic about it - let's try to be realistic as well... I'm certain that the devs at EM are passionate about their games too and love their work, they're not only in it for the money as some people seem to believe.

More like pervert.

If you google "thiaf" this is the third result, at least for me. It is not inconceivable that some social media guru would think this is an influential place.

That's because Google spies on what you do and provides you with links that it thinks you'd find most interesting.

This is so good:D Better than any late movie. Where are all (not just few) the blind fanboys? Where is Master Taffer and his deaf friend? I keep looking for them, they will be icing on the cake of this fucked-up Eidos' damage control. I guess he got overloaded from all the sperm from SE's cock. It is so relieving to hear that some people cancelled pre-orders. But now seriously, is this the gaming industry crash? They took the holy grail and remade it from shiny plastic. All those lies from developers and Eidos mods - "Heads are gonna roll now!"

Have yet to see anything that would indicate that Thief will be anything less than excelent. Streams are not a valid indicator of the quality, and anyway anything problematic that I sa2 in them can be explained either by:
1. Obviously early build (bugs & glitches)
or
2. General lack of skill displayed by players
I recon that gameplay video of a finished version made by an experienced and skilled player would show this game in quite a different light!

WELL HELLO, I BET YOU'VE BEEN LURKING THIS PLACE FOR AGES HAVE YOU NOT?

well it's either trolling, or *gasp* Eidos is worried that a large number of people may read the codex's opinion! Unlikely though...

 

[Sordid MCA/Prosper Hybryd]

It's so nice that all these unbiased people have found time to register on Codex and tell us how awesome Thiaf actually is. Otherwise we could be fooled by those deceitful live-streams and miss opportunity to pre-order such a masterpiece.

this is getting better by the minute

Hey, just because a game looks sounds and plays like shit doesn't mean it's shit. Grow up

You did not notice, but your brain did :p

At least it doesn't allow you to turn invisible... oh wait.

Neither!
I consider myself something of a hard core Thief fan. I replayed entire original trilogy countless times, and I completed most of FMs that are worth playing.
I am simply happy that a new Thief game is being made after all this years, and that said game seems to be more than a competent Thief sequel. It is my belief that this is an opinion shared by vast majority of long term fans. So, when I see a place like this, where most comments about new Thief are extremly negative, I simply feel obliged to share my own opinion. I assure you, what is being writen on this here forum is quite far from what vast majority of Thief fans worldwide think: this game is eagerly awaited, and most most of the info released so far has been very well received indeed.

I guess this is gonna be some Alpha Protocol-tier stealth when you fully upgrade it aka you can sprint in front of enemies and they won't see or hear you because you're just that good and their whole goddamn army can't stop you. Then again, maybe it's just going to be courtesy of shitty AI. Man, this just makes me want to replay Dishonored. Glancing at these streams and then looking back on Dishonored's approach to missions like The Golden Cat and alike just makes me want to weep.

Dude... Too obvious.

I don't even know why I bothered posting to that plant.

Lel. "vast majority of Thief fans worldwide" - You clearly have on mind 14yo little faggots getting on the "hype" wagon everytime some new game is released, so they can call themselves "old time fans" after a while.

 

[Kellhus]

I have just finished pre-loading Thief!

I will be sure to share my opinion on game in a few days.
Know that i will not answer to any sort of provocations, and that I will not be drawn into any sort of argument! My only wish is to share my opinion here. Not to provoke any of you, or to troll.

There are a lot of positive comments, mostly from people comparing it to dihonored.

What a fascinating failure of damage control ITT.

It's like trying to hang a picture that has fallen off the wall, but ending up with your entire house demolished and on fire, at least two family members and one bystander driven to hospital in critical state and household pet missing, presumed dead.

 

[Goegoff]

Point for mentioning FMs.
