As I'm sure you are aware the major complaints are that it's linear and you get context buttons and button mashing sequences. The thief games always tried to give you exploration, in this case they opted to make it look as pretty as the puny new gen consoles were able, and sacrificed core gameplay elements in the process.

It really underscores how impossible it is now to move forces without being detected by some guy with a camera phone.

Perhaps because they have calculated that this will turn into a giant Russian headache in a matter of months ?

How so ? I mean if everyone had guns, at least they would have been able to shoot back, but that presumes everyone being armed all the time. Doesn't seem very plausible. I have a permit and carry almost everywhere I go. Well you aren't representative of the average Chinese commuter.

Isn't it mandatory for troops to wear uniforms under international conventions Russia is a party to? In this case the need to keep a low profile would trump that ?

because Russian special forces moving in to secure bases and fleet assets would never think to not wear russian uniforms ?

I got Denmark, which is not so strange since the first question was 'pick the danish royal out of a lineup,' and the rest had very little to do with countries.

'Tolerant' really ?, not my first choice of adjective.

I meant popular with the networks, but that too.

Another cost cutting measure ?. I guess if you use a contest you don't have to deal with the actor's guild. Same reason reality TV is so popular.

More killing, sounds like a splendid idea

I only have delete and lock options. Not assigned to this forum.

I know that\s not how you spell Thief, but it\s too late to edit now.

http://www.giantbomb.com/reviews/thief-review/1900-627/ http://www.ign.com/games/thief-4/pc-14340781 Too bad, I was genuinely looking forward to another thief title. Initial reception can only be described as very poor. One could extrapolate that very hightly paid people were sent in to make EA soup out of the project, which simultaneously makes everything suck more and be more marketable. The trial and error gameplay would be one indication.

I have an embarrassing amount of hours logged in Skyrim. It would be really nice to have the engine improved to the point of removing certain eyesores. This Looks like a step backwards, which is not so strange considering it\s an MMO. Still.

Combat animations look worse than Skyrim. Didn't think that was possible.

Jumping in out of the blue, I do, in principle. Unless one happens to be fighting ze Germans. Nation states are the most scary organisational entities you can imagine, especially when it comes to individual liberty.

Dead rising fandom victim. Sad really. Was the chainsaw at least able to shoot some sort of projectile.

Depends. A season could be 1-2 gb per episode in HD.

I found the VO during the hacking sequence at the end if the first level particularly brilliant. Hated how you would auto fail any mission if you wandered off the mission area. Bad scripting.

Are they really nazis or is that just you ? Ultranationalist, Facist even. That's not the same thing.

Looks terrible. I hope I'm wrong.

Yes, protest. But the tipping point wasn't reached with protests, it was reached by an unacceptable bodycount.

Janukovitj made a terrible call in trying to clear the camp, but as has already been stated. He is the democratically elected leader. The protesters do not represent any clear majority. Say they succeed in overthrowing the government. It would clear up nothing long term. However this plays out it seems likely that the protesters will be rewarded for their efforts. With a surge of negative PR for the incumbent and perhaps early elections. A really bad lesson for a new(ish) democracy. On the other hand it's too late now to pretend one could go back to normal. There will have to be elections.
