alanschu Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Reviews for Thief are out, some sites are gutting it, some are not, but one thing in common is that no one thinks it's a great game. Yeah, so far the consensus for Thi4f seems to be: A few truly good side-missions, crappy main story and characters, hit or miss level design, buggy mess. Seems all the red flags that popped up during this game's development were warranted. This is just too bad. I had hoped this would have turned out better, but oh well, maybe stick to Dishonored. Anyone looking forward to South Park: Stick of Truth? This game looks good and I believe Obsidian to make a good game, but I haven't watched a lot of South Park and wonder if the greatness of the game will be lost on me. I am chomping at the bit for South Park.

JFSOCC Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I posted a negative opinion on the thief 4 boards, which I had frequented on and off for 4 years. It got deleted twice. I then got the moderator telling me not to post "aggresive slam posts" again. I'm posting it again, and I'm getting reddit involved if it gets deleted again, that should sort them out for censoring criticism. http://imgur.com/ISumvLO Edit: so it got deleted a third time. That makes me bring in Reddit. Edited February 24, 2014 by JFSOCC Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate.

alanschu Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) The deleted you posting a picture (that is probably being spammed on their forum as is...) as opposed to a post with your own thoughts about the game? Edited February 24, 2014 by alanschu
Malcador Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Thief forum moderators are especially loyal to The Company. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

alanschu Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Well Reddit sure rallied to your support. Unfortunately you removed the post so I can't see what was actually written.

That makes me bring in Reddit. "Cramped FOV" Well, I watched TotalBiscuits video on the PC version and there clearly was a slider for FOV and It went up to 110 or something... And if there is one false claim in that pic, I wonder how many others there are. I really do hate when moderators delete criticism, but that pic stinks of angry whining of a thief fananic, who most likely hasn't even played the game.
alanschu Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Given that the game isn't out until tomorrow, the wiser bet would be that he hasn't yet played the game.
mkreku Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 It's out if you're a pirate. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
JFSOCC Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I've watched a playthrough partway through https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9MoLfABC7y6gq0raxVa1TGBnREZvMQKz In order to decide whether I wanted to buy it.

Sarex Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 It's out if you're a pirate. But not on PC, gasp/shock. I think Ubisoft is going to faint. "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
Lexx Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 The new Wasteland 2 beta update is out. 3,3gb but no changelog around yet. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Sarex Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Well this is a blast from the past, haven't even heard it was being developed. http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/02/24/sacred-3-announced-for-summer-2014/ I played 1&2 as a kid but didn't finish either as it soon bored me.

HoonDing Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Sacred in name only. The series went the same way as Dungeon Siege. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Sarex Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Sacred in name only. The series went the same way as Dungeon Siege. Sacred 3 or 2? "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
Lexx Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I think I played Sacred 1 for like 10 minutes and then never again. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
HoonDing Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Sacred in name only. The series went the same way as Dungeon Siege. Sacred 3 or 2? 3, but 2 kind of sucked already too. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Keyrock Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I liked Sacred 1, and, oddly enough, I liked it because it was a mess of a game with massive balancing issues (which, for loot em' ups, is usually kind of a big deal) and wacky exploits. My favorite exploit was the developers forgetting to include a crossbow animation for the Daemon while in Soaring Daemon mode so the game reverted to an unarmed "kick" animation which was infinitely faster than any crossbow animation (unarmed was pretty much the fastest animation in the game). Since attack speed was based on the speed of the attack animation, while in Soaring Daemon mode the Daemon became a machinegun bolt throwing (out of her hip) death from above ranged master of destruction, when the character race/class was meant to suck with ranged weapons.
