IndiraLightfoot Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Or rather Goatee of the year. I'm totally gone pre-order this. I'll buy my entire family a copy. I'm praying for multiplayer/coop mode too. Let's wreck this town!

Orogun01 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Lords of the fallen gameplay: snip That looks pretty promising. Hopefully there are some polearms in the game like a glaive, bardiche, or lucerne hammer. Edit: Although, they're obviously not going for anything resembling realistic weapons (which is fine), since nobody could wield that hammer with one hand unless it was made of plastic and hollow. Obviously, you haven't been paying attention to the lore. The tattoos on the face of the character are granted as the mark of a chronic masturbator, he is obviously a great one. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I don't see how that helps, a hammer isn't generally used as a thrusting weapon. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serrano Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not even if you put a spike on top ? I think it's something to do with the weight distribution dampening the piercing effect, not to mention making it extremely unwieldy to jab with. Not that a hammer with a spike on the top would be completely useless but in reality they tended to be on one of the sides of the hammerhead where you'd get the most force from the blow.

Orogun01 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ok, I'm seriously concerned right now.You all make it sound like you're grabbing your "thing" hand down and thrust it forward violently as if you were going to stab somebody instead of the regular hand face up, grab it from the side and swing forward and back.

IndiraLightfoot Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 At the end of this month Thief comes out, and I just got a pretty decent deal on it. It's Steam third party DM no matter which way you turn it, so instead of buying the Master Thief edition from steam for like 40 quid. I went to Green Man Gaming with a 25% voucher (just google it, and you'll get that one). Thing is, they already had 10% off, so in total I got the price reduced to 22 quid, half the asking price of Steam. Yay! Btw, I'm really looking forward to this game, since I adored the Thief games of yore, and I'm a fan of Dishonored as well. This will be what I play after I've finished Might & Magic X. 1 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarex Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Demo is out for Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2. The graphics on max are great and do not require a high end machine, the controls are much better on mouse+keyboard then they were in the first part. Also there is a cinematic video at the end of the demo that made a mess of my underwear.

IndiraLightfoot Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It looks fantastic. I tend to gamble on games now and then (like over at Kickstarter). I took a risk and pre-ordered Dishonored as well, and it was great. However, Bioshock Infinite, was not that great. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majek Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 All hail Smough's hammer! It has to be this big if you're gonna grind bones to dust. Buying Thief? Are you crazy? ( Don't anwser that, because i already know the answer ) It's got nothing to do with old games, it0s just modern pos with the names slapped on it. And i agree Bioshock:I is nothing good, but neither is Dishonored, great idea baaaad execution. Thief will suck even more. 1.13 killed off Ja2.

Tigranes Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thief is one of my favourite games, and I loved Thief 3 which some 'hardcore' fans consider much inferior, but the new Thief looks so, so, so, so bad in every way that there's not even an iota of regret that I'm not getting it. I generally like to try then give up or like it for what it is but it's been amazing how just with trailers and description they've already provided so much clear evidence it will be rubbish. Thief 4 promises to be 'I'm a super cool ninja with a dark past and amnesia and I want to save the world in my own dark hero badass totally righteous brooding way by killing people when shiny contextual icons light up and also by escaping scripted 'run like hell' sequences' than, you know, an amoral thief who can't be arsed about all that stuff and just wants some cash and above all not to be seen. I'm not even exaggerating. Garrett now has amnesia. And likes justice. Wants to save the world, or at least the city. Hints of a romantic undertone. Shiny contextual icons to show when the guard is ripe for killing or blackjack. At least they took out the kill XP, I think. Platform-like escape sequences. Focus highlighting. Slow motion. The new standalone Dark Mod now provides a platform for plenty of excellent user-made mods, thankfully, so there's plenty of actual Thief to play. I couldn't get into Dishonoured because playing it for half an hour on hardest difficulty I realised you can just stand somewhere high up top and shoot people in the face and the guards will all come gather round the guy, who I'm still shooting in the face from right next to them on top of a roof standing still, and they'll just wildly spin around going HEY COME OUT YOU. Then they eventually give up and wander away, even as their colleague is now burning to a crisp from the fire arrows I'm launching into his face, half a metre away from them. Gah. But at least I've heard / seen enough things about it to suggest it may be worth another try in the future. 1 Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndiraLightfoot Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Tigranes: Holy Moses! You literally garrotted Garrett! I'm indeed taking a risk, but at least it looks neat. If it is anywhere near Dishonored, it certainly will do. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoraptor Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) I'm not exactly the hardest core Thief fan, and I too rather liked T3, but... Tigranes even left out the small levels (but they'll be detailed, promise, and the big levels in T2 like Life of the Party were pretty, uh, horrible?), jump only at context points (because free jump looks silly, people could run around everywhere jumping, like in BGDA), rope arrow context points, the bad VO because the VO has to be done by the motion capture actor (!), etc etc. And they haven't got rid of the XP system, just hidden it away hence the ludicrous ability to buy the 'Stealth' ability* in a Thief game. Still, if you like Assassin's Creed and DIshonoured, are happy to spend time turning off all the extra frippery and hand holding devices and aren't too emotionally invested in the old Thief games it may work out for you. I do sincerely wish you luck. *To be fair, probably an upgrade rather than the ability itself. Sadly though, I wouldn't put it past them to have 'gain stealth' as a tutorial to explain their ability/ upgrade system.
