Morgoth Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I'm gonna wait for end 2014/early 2015 with a GPu upgrade, when the 20nm nodes are finally mass available. R9 290X sounds like this immense powerhungry monster that will soon become obsolete once Team Green comes forward with Maxwell. I'll wait for that. I always prefered Nvidia anyway. Rain makes everything better.
JFSOCC Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 No penalties for killing in the next thief, nor different goals for higher difficulties http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2013/10/09-1/feature-interview-with-thief-senior-producer-and-narrative-director I think I'm going to give this game a pass. I'm sick of games trying to empower you to the point that there is no challenge. Awesomeness simulators are cool and all, but that's better for assassins creed, not thief. it's why I ignored dishonored Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive.

Nepenthe Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 That's.. odd. Even human revolution gave you exp bonuses for not killing. Looks like the studio has a definite A and B team, I'm afraid. 1 You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

Nordicus Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 There are difficulty levels, but it's a fairly standard thing--less hit points, but you can challenge yourself within the game's space anyways, create your own difficulties.It's a fairly standard thing... for an action game. So far, I've been more annoyed by the story-related reveals than gameplay with this game. There was definitely some iffy stuff, but Garrett can climb on shelves and do aerial bonkings, you have to actually stand close for a sec to pickpocket, you check painting frames for switches rather than know it almost automatically by the highlight color, Garrett has way less broadhead arrows compared to the first two games (I was often walking around with 30+), etc. For a second, I was somewhat optimistic that they'd manage to think outside the box and probably improve stealth along with secondary playstyle options rather than move emphasis away from it. But if the difficulty setting merely affects combat mechanics? They're approaching this project from a really bad angle imho.
mkreku Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Was interested in the new R9 290X, but I guess I have no reason to upgrade for a while then. Watchdogs could be a pretty good reason to upgrade though.. You're right. I forgot about that. Good excuse to jump on the upgrade wagon again! R9 290X sounds like this immense powerhungry monster.. I know.. isn't it sexy? I just love the sound of electricity whining as it's being devoured in the coils! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Guest Slinky Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 The downside of an open forum, most people are idiots and are going to support idiotic notions. I support this notion! Also, I checked gamespot out and I didn't find that review from the pic. The search found three reviews of Bioshock Infinite, all identical as far I could see, and the score in all was 9. I have no idea what that pic is about.

Guest Slinky Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Ah, thanks Tale.So it's an personal opinion of the game, which happens to be different than the circle jerk approved one, and people are going all "Tom , you start losing every single bit of credibility man" on the comments. Meh.

The search found three reviews of Bioshock Infinite, all identical as far I could see, and the score in all was 9. I have no idea what that pic is about. That's because they wouldn't dare post it at release and now it resides in the 'other take' section. Someone decided to turn what was supposed to be a day-1 review into cheap click-bait. I'm actually surprised that reviewer is still working there after that Kane&Lynch fiasco.

sorophx Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 an Aliens game? Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
Serrano Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Going by the quote and machine fetish it sort of looks like it's taking some inspiration from "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream". Edited October 11, 2013 by Serrano
Keyrock Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 As opposed to Amnesia, we never see the protagonist's hands, or any part of them, for that matter. I'm sure that's on purpose. I guess there will be the question of are you man or are you machine, and what is the boundary between man and machine? Is there one?

Agreed. I'll be willing to plunk down five smackers if they either extracted the boss fights from the game (then tossed them in a dumpster and lit them on fire) or redid them so they're not horrific. Edit: Okay, I read in the article: along with some improvements to the boss fights… which you’ll probably find really useful. I want to see what these "improvements" are exactly. The boss fight in Missing Link was fairly good, so I know they can do a good boss fight from scratch, but I wonder if they can salvage the garbage that they outsourced for the main game.

Lexx Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I would have bought the game again for 20€, but it wasn't really making me happy. The reduced price is a good idea. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Blodhemn Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Does the director's cut come with new voice actors or is Sarif still voiced by the male version of Frasier Crane's Roz?
