why obscure garretts vision with smoke when in dark when he should feel more empowered in darkness?


The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal is a wild animal from the planet of Traal. It is known for its never-ending hunger and its mind boggling stupidity. It is such a stupid animal that it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you.

I've reached the conclusion that the new Garrett walks around doing The Creep:

They were talking about factions. I wonder if they invented something new, while shitting all over hammerites, pagans et cetera OR gonna use them like in previous games(Or even worse - reinventing eg. hammerites as something way different >.>)
I've tried listening to guards chatter, and haven't heard single "taffer" or something. They probably failed even on that level.

"Oh right, lets call it reinvention, so all the Thief fanboys can't blame us for ruining the previous series!"

So is it decline? Well, no shit, who would have see it coming!
You know, sometimes people will tell you about this crazy old homeless guy at the street that throws shit at the passersby, and you'll laugh your ass off up until the day you'll be passing through that street and feel the shit hitting the back of your head
Sometimes you realize that you are the crazy old homeless guy.

Someone (in forums) said that the stealth is now ternary. What the fuck.

This is one of those times where a game is not living up to its predecessors but can still be fun. Codex cannot into gradient enjoyment, something is either a return to the amazing Metal Age or a piece of shit. I'm not so disabled.

This looks like Dishonored 2 and I will have fun with it. I didn't expect much better, really.

Missing the point. If they didn't want to make a Thief game they shouldn't have fucking called it Thief. There's no good for what it is in this context. Either your game lives up to its namesake, or its a fucking failure. Wanna make mediocre shit? Call it something else.

DalekFlay likes a lot of shit games, so I'm not surprised at his opinion.

This game looks like it would be shit even if it wasn't a Thief game.

They think as long as you adhere to the very core idea it's fine. I'm not sure I agree but whatever... not like Square was going to fund a game just like Thief 2 anyway. This does not exist in place of that because that would never have been made.

Did you read the second part of my post? Even if this were not called Thief, this game would be shit. Everything about it screams popamole. If ever there were a posterchild for popamole, this game would be it.

Hell, it probably ships with a complimentary can of Mtn Dew and pack of Doritos.
