So the new Thief has gone gold...you buying it?

I don't understand. They added some features for the people who might not want to play stealth the whole way through. The thing is, you don't have to play that way so what's the big deal? Personally it seems like nostalgia is wreaking your option of enjoying this game.

I just watched a video with the devs and one of them said "if you're in the light and trying to fight someone face to face you should die". He made it very clear that you are not a fighter and the shadows are your friend but it is possible to knock out guards if you choose to go that route. I don't see this being much different than the games of the past and in no way can you be a "fighting machine" as you say.

Sometimes being too much of a fan can be a bad thing imo.

Ill b playing this an south park..Looking for fun with both games..A theif game an a rpg game cant get enough fun with that load...Ah I may get dark souls 2 also )..

No its not my type of game.

As far as I can tell, the new Thief has cinematic takedowns and generally gives you the ability to overwhelm one or two opponents at a time.

I also seem to recall a preview mentioning that you could fighting in one room did not alert guards in adjacent rooms, which IMO makes the game not Thief.

I would'nt be surprised if it felt more like Dishonored/DE:HR than Thief, and I'm on the side which thinks it should have been named something else, when it's not trying to be a sequel anyway.

then again, I felt the same about Fallout 3. Decent game, crappy Fallout game.

@biggest_loser Did you play the dark mod?

Only a week to go.

I wouldn't mind playing a demo of some sort so I can decide if I want to play it. But oh no demos take up too much time and money *rolls eyes*
