I don't preorder games. I wait until they're out, and if they are good I buy them. I'm watching the stream and it doesn't look bad, though as always I will not commit until after I have seen some reviews and player feedback (after all, we can't exactly trust the gaming press to protect us from lemons anymore).

Oh yeah, now I remember. It was so stupid I forgot. Totally unnecessary yeah. A sex scene could make sense where there is actually a romantic relationship or anything. But game developers going: right, so the player shot some people so it's time to mix it up a bit and have a sex scene. Is pretty embarrasing.

Best sex scene EVER in a game though: Ride To Hell.

You got off easy, they tied me to the end of a motorcycle and drove me around the block.

I never played it, but holy crap it looked awful.

Nobody should play it, it sucks so bad. It's just a hilariously bad attempt in every single way.

Like how the 1% on the cover is a reference to what the motorcycle gangs use, but it could also point at how well the game scored.

Or how you save women from rape, and they instantly want to have sex with you in what could be the worst sex scene ever put on screen.

If you haven't seen it, go give Angryjoe's review a watch, it's very funny.

Most third party developers are going multi-platform due to rising development costs. Lots of formerly console exclusive franchises are coming to PC. There used to be lots of games that consoles would get that PC wouldn't, but now almost the only exclusives left on consoles are funded by the console makers themselves.

All the main platforms are similar enough these days that building versions of a game for each of those platforms isn't too difficult or expensive and increases your odds of making back your development costs and hopefully make a profit.

That's what's actually happening. Not your bullshit analysis.

I second this. I can forgive bad level design and AI. But it's the sex scenes that make or break this game.

"Seen so far:

-Compass icons on guards telling you their alertness, which stay on your UI even if they're not on your line of sight anymore.

-Tiny levels, constant loading screens.

-Guard AI non-existent.

-Horribly blurry screen. I guess this is for indicating your visibility but it's just like someone smeared vaseline all over.

-Terribly designed NuGarett.

-Horrible swooping action.

-Godawful voice acting.

-Horrible Jason Bourne wubwub music playing on top of each other/doesn't know when to cue properly.

-Garett stands in closet with guard next to it --> opens closet, pushing guard out of the way. Guard oblivious.

-Constant close-ups of whatever he's doing. Lockpicking, opening windows,...

-Third person cutscenes in the midst of a level.

-No need for stealth, you can just pummel multiple guards in their face, and finish them with execution moves.

-Max Payne dream sequences.

-I think I saw an enemy stand there, Mortal Kombat style, waiting for the fatality after some blackjack pummeling.

-BLOODY SCREEN, so real. Even comes with damage direction indicators.

-"I want you to steal the key to THE TRUTH, Garrett!"

-UI compass direction icon, with distance indicator.

-You can hear conversations from miles away and they repeat.

-Every level looks the same.

-Spying on people having sex, CreepyGarrett

-Garrett sees flashbacks of dead people or whatever.

-Instant kill traps, but focus mode shows you which button to press by highlighting the whole trap in red and blue.

-I've seen little or no use of the old thief elements. No noisy floors, no moss arrows, no rope arrows, no water arrows. It's just mostly running around and fighting guards

Basically it seems even worse than everyone was expecting."

Game sounds like diluted mainstream crap.

Same things could be said about PCs, you get very little or no games that are exclusive to the PC that aren't RTS or indie. Even most MMO's now are making the leap to consoles.

I think what bothers me here is the amount of distaste for a sex scene while there is so much violence that people dont even blink an eye over.

Hell Microsoft doesnt even let your curse while killing people.....wtf?

The difference is violence is gameplay, you shoot things/people in games and it is fun...sex is not gameplay in games it is just some boring crap you watch.

Yeah, very little exclusives for PC indeed... yet still more than Xbone, WiiU and PS4 combined.

Deal with it.

No man, if he wants to believe bullshit marketing talk by companies, than he should go ahead.


I totally believe Crytek when they said Far Cry and Crysis were pirated to death and they needed to go to console gaming to make any money at all. Eventhough they apparently were able to purchase 2 game studios and opened 2 others. Game studios must've just been really cheap at that time.

And I totally believe Ubisoft when they said PC piracy is 97% so they HAD to include their broken DRM in all their games. Eventhough they came back on their decision and statement on the piracy number.

I think hermits forgot......this isn't the first Thief on consoles. And Deadly Shadows was a good game on XBOX. Hell I enjoyed Deus Ex IW on XBOX as well. It must really suck to be a PC only gamer. You guys hate everything. Sports, racing, shooters, fighters, outside, women , soap, platformers, controllers.

Why even exist? Or............

Why not enjoy a game for a change? It isn't like most of you pay for them.

I watched the entire Rev3 live video and came away more excited. The language barriers resulting from the French developer made for some awkward discussion, but the game itself looks terrific from the perspective of a stealth fan.

Not to mention I saw I could get it for $28 on green man gaming (With my $6 store credit) :)

Yeah, it's nice to see. Most of the time reviewers get their version a week or so early, so it is possible for them to start the pre-load that soon.

I guess we can play some: Rambo: The Video Game to pass the time until next week :p

@Gargus: A game coming out the February after a next-gen launch is capitalizing on desperate gamers who have nothing to play (yes, I know it's coming to ps3 360). It's the same reason Tomb Raider DE wouldn't have been successful outside of January. If this game was something worth seeing, it would come out over the summer or later.

Games that are worth seeing do not come out over the summer.

It looks ok, and I got it for essentially 50% off form GMG.

I'm just sad that it's not looking to be as good as the Deus Ex reboot. :(

We already knew that it isn't a Thief game. It will be a disaster, but console kids will love it because they don't know any better.

Saw some live streams and saw the player dying a few times, can't be that bad. Just a stupid mistake can ruin your mission, looked okay if you ask me and AI not quite as dumb as people think.

Might still buy it even though there's lots of hate and scepticism.

@SEANMCAD: The reason people are more conservative about sexual content is because great deal more people will eventually have sex than brutally mutilate another human being. It's a lot easier to explain violence on the television as something that's not in the realm of the consumer's future behavior.
