Re: Thief

My thoughts are mixed so far, maybe because I have never played a game like this before. But I do not think it is as bad as the reviews are saying it is.

Re: Thief

I'm liking this game a lot. Finished the prologue and first chapter.

I can see some of the complaints but so far I think it's much ado about nothing. Some ledges you can't jump off because there's no point to do so. Some things you can't climb bc why would you? I think the game design makes the right common sense choices.

And while the game is linear in goals, you can still find at least two ways to get to and achieve anything.

For example, you are told to pick up an item. Fine. But you can either find a way through the front door it's located and get to it quickly - though there are numerous guards by the entrance - or you can find an underground tunnel with no guards and take a longer path to the item.

It's up to you. So far I haven't had to get into a fighting match with anyone. I did turn off Focus. I prefer having to sneak through and not know who's in a room.

Re: Thief

That was always my goal in Dishonored and really any stealth oriented game was to get through the level with as little confrontation as possible.

Of course Dishonored through that out the window with the last act of the game.

Thing is per metacritic on PS4 the positive reviews outnumber the negative and mixed reviews combined. I think people just see a few bad reviews and immediately focus on those and not the positive ones. Same thing happened to Alpha Protocol, it's a shame really.

Re: Thief

I picked this game up along with a pair of Gold Headphones. I think the game is pretty good, first time playing a true stealth game in awhile. I think it's pretty good, the reviews I read I feel overstate the downsides of the game. I would say if you have the computer version this is a pass or wait for price drop, but if your into stealth heavy games this is a solid addition

The Gold headsets are great, first time using a set of gaming headsets and the sound is amazing IMO

Re: Thief

I have it for ps3, if you read some of my previous posts I gave some early impressions but forgot to mention what system.

Having a lot of fun with thief.
theres only wayto many loading screens, game doesnt feellike open world at all.
And the difference between cut scene and gameplay is huge. Hope thats not gonne be the norm for ps4 games

Re: Thief

I was looking forward to getting this but from what little I watched on twitch it looks extremely similar to Dishonored... Idk that that's worth 60 bucks for me

Re: Thief

Never played Dishonored so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me.

Re: Thief

Took the plunge..

I played the living hell out of Thief: Deadly Shadows on the Xbox, so naturally, this was on my radar.

I'm all about doing my damnedest to put it on the hardest difficulty and not get spotted, ever.

Hopefully it takes a while to beat the game.

How am I supposed to get around in the city? I'm trying to stick to the rooftops but it's confusing.

Thief is only 21 gigs on the PS4, while a game like NBA 2K14 is around 46 gigs.

I remember reading, somewhere, that development on Thief started around 2009/10. So this it's not a "truly" next-gen game in terms of taking advantage of everything the systems have to offer.
