Let's not compare charming eurojank like EYE with this mess.

I don't actually think more time would have made the game much better. Every time they showed off a test build, someone would say "wow feels really janky" etc and it never really got much better. I think they just started out with bad ideas and then got married to them.

At best, they probably would've put band aids over the graphical glitches and maybe added one more monster (because apparently adding one monster is like an entire year's work).

Still looking forward to hearing about their "DLC plans" (I can barely say that without laughing).

Huh... guess I won't be finishing that side-bounty.

Also apparently I lost all my runes on reloading (I can't access the runebag cause I gotta "find runes first")
So I guess that's it for the mage run then. Can't say I'm too sad.

Anyway, fuck this shit. I'm not even sure why I started this game again.

I wonder how many hours of our lives we all wasted following, supporting, discussing, testing, anticipating etc this shite.

Guess it's another game in the Immersive Sim family that we should pretend doesn't exist, along with Bioshock, Dishonored and Invisible War.

Eh Bioshock, Dishoonred and Invisible War are masterpieces next to Underworld.
They're actually playable and enjoyable.

They're not classics but they're good enough and above all, polished compared to this trash.
And besides, I'd take Dishonored/Prey/Dark Messiah over UA anytime.

Some influential youtuber like fluent .

I was never influential my friend, at least not that much. Over one million views and 1900 subscribers, and the best it got me was free interviews with developers like Fargo, Obsidian and working a bit for free with Beamddog and others whose smaller indie titles I was interested in. It was fun though, but the J Dumont channel is far from that at this point. :oops::)

The dude even managed to get the early bird $20 pledges. Imagine the folks who backed for a hundred or thereabouts.

Grab the Codex by the pussy Strap Yourselves In Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
I'm not calling it a Thief successor but it came close enough to be great fun.
Dishonored is related more to Deus Ex than Thief.

As for "what's wrong with Dishonored", the idiotic morality system is a pretty huge flaw. I heard that they removed it for Death of the Outsider, so I guess they finally realized it too.
