Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

[Echo Mirage]

I expect the "expanding overseas activists in Asia" Means shipping Eidos Montreal style studios to China or indeed Shipping EM off to Shanghai when when they finally get to the end of the rope after fucking up Thief and everything else they touch. Also getting a SOE online entertainment vibe from this with F2P games that when it comes down to it aren't. With $7 weapons on sale each week that power creep to the point that people would rather pay then grind the cert needed to buy them any other way. Also expect DX universe to have some form of MMO aspect if its not an outright MMO at this point.

Shipping off? You mean shutdown, because the Frenchies won't go to Shangai when they could just get a job at the local Ubisoft factory.

Eh, half of Ubisoft's games are made by Ubisoft Shanghai to begin with, they won't last much longer once management realizes they can pay a quarter of the salaries to their employees and still get results people lap up year after year...

 

[Morgoth]

...and then Chinese wages rise.

Where to ship them off next? Africa?

 

[Morgoth]

The solution to this is obviously to have the entire world working for Chink wages, then publishers could set-up shop everywhere and produce "quality" Thief/Deus Ex Games and release a new one every month.

Fuck quality, fuck people. We need more growth.

That zipper noise is loud enough to have guards from Shipping & Receiving to come investigate.

Tap A to open zipper quietly

Tap A to open zipper quietly

Followed by a QTE to close it successfully without chopping your dick off

Now use focus to make it all awesome.

But only in context sensitive areas, like rope arrows

Sweet jesus, Viktoria is rock fucking dumb. Or she's being paid. Nobody in their right mind goes to such extreme lengths to defend a game without being paid or having brain damage.

Very likely she is getting paid. She is an official moderator on 8 different forums from what I have read. No one goes that far or defends that hard unless they have a financial reason to do so.

Don't worry bros...this shit will tank like 5Hitman. The Ass Creed crowd won't be swayed by a poor man's substitute, Thief fans will shun it and the rest don't care about some long dead franchise to begin with.

Why do you like DX:HR commie ?

Probably cause DX itself is massively overrated here? It's not the same kind of 'rape' as with Thief as DX:IW already 'raped' DX back in 2003 and HR is actually an improvement on that so I'm more 'meh' about it. Thief is fucking iconic for me, and even console version TDS kept enough of the feel originals to not be too much of a decline. This shit though purports to be an 'improvement' and twists the lore and characters into a grotesque parody of Dishonored and Assassins Creed. Fuck that shit.

 

[Angthoron]

Don't forget that you're actually able to jump in DEHR. Augment the jumping, even. None of that swooping nonsense.

 

[sexbad?]

Yes it is

I've thought for quite some time that she must be mentally unstable IRL.

 

[AlexOfSpades]

Did Zwanzig fuck her yet?

 

[DefJam101]

One day people will realize 'overrated' is not the worst insult you can level at a game

 

[MaskedMan]

Codex hipster willpower check: Thiaf is now part of http://www.amd4u.com/radeonrewards/ and you can get silver reward keys on ebay for like 10$.

Yeah the game looks like shit but it's soooo cheap, don't you want it just a little? It's okay, you can tell us, you got it only so you could see how bad it is right? No one will blame you.

 

[Morgoth]

Are you suggesting us to commit treason, MaskedMan?

 

[Azazel]

I'm not even going to pirate this shit on a public tracker, that would give them the misguided opinion that people in any way desire to wallow in this fetid cesspool.

The backpeddling is so strong now, you can sense the desperation in the air.
