Merida, again
TDM is pretty good. Some of the fan missions are rather lengthy and enjoyable. Combat was shit when I tried it (ver. 1), but stealth mechanics and lock-picking were superb.

Makes sense that hardcore fanatics would know what worked and was good. Thanks. I think i will pick up d3 somewhere, and never play the main campaign.

I'm considering not removing D3 from an inventory, or perhaps even removing it, just because I've been pining to try TDM for a while, now.

10 hours is maddeningly short for a T4 game. It's probably been streamlined to popamole perfection, which would explain the length.

Just rappel down from the roof and through the window, grab all the shiny junk and flashbang your way out, like Batman! Why bother with that boring sneaking bullshit since you can pull off badass slow-motion headshots with your bow. Blackjacking is for fags too, way better to aim for that achievement you get for killing 500 guards with your sword!

HEY. Hey. Hey. Thief 3 was and continues to be pretty good.

There'll be elbow rocket launchers, courtesy of a new faction: the NINJA-MECHANO-HAMMERITES.
:lol:

T1 was great, T2 was good, T3 was good for what it was (except the Cradle which was fantastic) and it concluded the trilogy with every game being worse than the predecessor.

Now Thi4f? In 2010?

Who fucking cares, it's not a Thief game...

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I never bothered getting Doom 3 because I don't care about horror shooters at all, but TDM looks rather awesome and probably makes it worth downloading D3 for.

They most likely added the generic map showing your position and all corridors in detail - actually there is no doubt about that (but even if Master Race Thief Trilogy would've had it it still would be 20 hours long, apart from the 3rd one maybe). The big lulz will be if it also has a quest-compass.

Also lol at TTLG. Looks like Codex is by far not the only one normal community that was invaded by consoletards.

We should have a list of the missions that are actually any good for TDM.
If anyone's played TDM already, definitely start a thread.
