1eyedking Is Thief a downgrade from Deus Ex/System Shock 2/etc?

Haven't read the thread nor have I played Deus Ex or System Shock or Thief past mission 2, but I will agree with Ash on principle because he can argue well and agree when he's wrong even though he's a crazy modder.

:negative:

Decline fags like you lot led to the steep decline of the Immersive Sim. When their most successful and popular game is also one of their most unambitious and was a fucking medieval bow shooter up until the last six months of development, well that's just how the world works. You're all the lowest common denominator demographic the genre could reach at that time.

NOT TO SAY IT'S A BAD GAME. Calm yourselves. But have any of you idiots even looked at Ultima Underworld? So much promise for the future, but as always compromise is a necessity.

Oh yes, I forgot you hate that word, because fuck logic, meaning and reason, it just sounds stupid so go kill yourself.

Stop reciting what you've heard dumb degenerates say here in an attempt to fit in. This is RPG codex. The majority of 'em are dumb deranged neckbeard degenerates that can't tell their ass from their bellybutton. I don't fit in because I'm not one of the aforementioned individuals. But as always, at least they have variably good taste in games. They may say Deus Ex is shit, but they know that isn't true and it's only in angry defense of their precious Thief.

an immersive sim is a game where you simulate immershun

my favourite immersive sims are build engine shooters where you can even immerse yourself in a kitchen sink to find secret places

they even add such elements of simulation like holding your breath altho i wish they would also simulate water pressure rising the deeper you go

Lol. If you say so. I remember calling YOU out for saying "with MP3 gameplay Red Dead Redemption 2 will be the greatest open world shooter evar!" despite knowing fuck all about the game, but myself I've never made such extreme claims. So keep living in your little dream world.

Deus Ex is the best "let's do a lot of things at once" game of all time, but Thief is quite possibly the best game of all time, and I have little to no interest in stealth games.

Thief is a work of art. Every inch of it oozes quality. The atmosphere, the sound, the gameplay, the guard banter, the incredbily tension when creeping through a corner. When playing Deus Ex, I feel like I'm playing a fantastic classic game. When I play Thief: TDP, I feel like I'm playing the orchestra.

If Hegel was alive, he would seriously rethink the idea that all human beings are born with reason after reading through your posts in this thread.

Amazing they could pull something of substance together considering the game was a medieval bow shooter with no real direction for most of development, eh?
Your standards are low.

Anyway, keep being rabid, immature fanboy retards. My opinion/preference is no less valid than yours. If anything it should be more valid, because I've actually played Underworld/Shock/Thief/DeusEx/Arx and more of the games in the classic lineage, while its clear the majority of you have only played Thief, and Deus Ex at most.

Then you'd be wrong. It's painfully obvious the majority posting ITT has not. Half of 'em don't even know what an Immersive Sim is or that Thief is supposed to be one. Just a bunch of ignorant rabid fanboys, one or two aside.

No, that's none of his or your damn business, as in anything at all about my personal life I'm not going to divulge to a bunch of fucking degenerates.

Go be a retard elsewhere.
