First FM of the year is from a new author.

I'm bad at stealth

Why

Idk. I guess I get too gun ho and overestimate the situation and blow my cover

It'll just be another depressing thread of someone posting copious The Sword screenshots and commenting on missing loot on Expert difficulty

have you tried getting gut

play thief games (not t4ief) your only way to advance is git gud at stealth

When's the Thief porno parody movie "Down in the Bonehoard" coming to Brazzers?

>chewing noises

>yfw

>yfw that haunt that appears in one of the other tombs

>read that note about the horn's song putting the burricks to sleep
>take the horn
>music stops

Ooooh, I think a baby bird pecked me.

where to start with FMs?

Depends what you're looking for.

Any sex FMs maybe femdom ones?

I fell for the meme and bought Thief 2. I can't even change the resolution. Is there a patch to make it playable in new hardware?

something comfy
lol

These is actually a mission (I think in T2x) where a leather-clad woman with haunt animations nonlethally attacks a guy with a riding crop.

I think only on expert they break from their calm state. On hard they still stand there

Hard to think of ones that stand out as comfy.
Chalice of Souls mission 1 (With Snow as Sole Witness) - Comfy City thieving in the snow
Bloodmist Tower - funny little mission
Fables of the Penitent Thief - If Thief was a children's picture book

>tfw too much of a purist to play FMs

Thi4f wasn't that good but it wasn't bad. It was just eh.

Just beat The Lost City. Boy, was that a trip. Fuck fireballs, tho

Tafferpatch I think's the name. There should be an infographic somewhere around here, but it's just install a single file and play

Hope I get lucky after my shift.

IIRC that was Calendra's Legacy.

Why aren't you floundering about with DromEd right now?

>My face when the Bumblesons got invited ahead of me

TAFF OFF

>The Rothschilds bow to the Bumblesons

I think you're being way too generous with Thiaf here.
I'm generally pretty open and willing to give a game a chance - I finished motherfucking DARK - but Thiaf? Just can't. After three tries, I decided it just wasn't worth it.
Between the bad sound design and the contradictory pre-scripted triggers, it just doesn't work well.

>I guess I get too gun ho and overestimate the situation and blow my cover
That's the best way to get a handle on the limits of the AI over all how far/fast you can go without being seen.

Fuck you I was going to say the same thing
>in contact with Pagan entities
>invited to exclusive parties for the elite
>rule The City with an iron fist
>own First City Band and Trust

Read between the lines.

>goes full lethal on normal immediately

Thats satire, right?

TAFFER

if only you knew how bad things really are

Is this your first taste of game journalism?

>second half of a 50 minute video about Thief is them playing Pokemon Stadium with each other instead of Thief

lol

I was bored by zombies and especially disliked the pagans. Felt like both factions did not fit the theme at all.

In the end, I like Thief 3 the best because it at least attempted to flesh out the city a bit more. Ideal Thief game would be happening in a sprawling urban enviromnent where characters have schedules and itineraries and you must figure out where they go, when and why and plan your actions accordingly.

But as I've said I have zero interest in zombies and pagans.

>But as I've said I have zero interest in zombies and pagans.
Yet you didn't give your opinions on Thief 2.

>zombies
>faction

It's the best of the series thematically but it still has zombies.

Yeah, like 3 of them, what a gamebreaker am I right

Jesus Fuck it physically hurts to look at. I hate those dudebros.

>Thief threads almost every day
>Homm threads several times a week
Sup Forums is finally not shit

>he didn't join the zombie guild

...

What makes Thief so good even today?

Am I pleb for liking both? Like I know Dishonored is basically just a hack-and-slash but the heart and soul of Thief is still in there. Thi4f is an insult, Dishonored is a love letter.

For me it's a combination of art direction and sound design combined with core stealth elements (the guard's alert states, importance of sound and so on) and especially movement.
After many replays movement is what I actually like the most. When you are familiar with how momentum works in these games and with the maps you turn into this Sandman on rollerblades just rushing through the levels in hyper speed putting guards to sleep with your blackjack

It respects the player

nothing, its unforgiving gameplay and loose narrative doesn't work 20 years later.
it's too clunky, for example: you need to hold space to grab a ledge when jumping. we are not living in 1998 anymore.

>it's clunky
Kill yourself

>putting guards to sleep with your blackjack
FUCKING PLEBS
GIT GUD

minimalistic, yet very functional engine. minimalistic graphics that still look good. almost complete freedom of movement within reasonable limits, thanks to the mantling and leaning mechanics. pretty good AI, despite some obvious flaws. excellent sound that contribute to the great sense of spatiality. fresh and edgy electronic music sets it apart from generic fantasy. the minimalistic "purple surfaces illuminated by white light" palette made the game's aesthetic iconic. etc etc

this is bad comedy

lets be honest here, the accents in the original games were terrible renfair larper tier

SUCH SLANDER WILL NOT BE TOLERATED WHILE WE'RE ON WATCH

I ghosted a few missions and it reminds me of how intense Thief felt when I played it for the first time.
But it's not about being good for me. It's about having fun.

Well there's the core stealth gameplay, controls, level design, writing, atmosphere, characters, sound design, ambient soundtrack, voice acting, replay value, fan missions

>not liking the wonderfully hammy voice acting

Do you also hate fun?

the voice acting in the old Dark Camelot footage was even comfier:

>play all of Thief 1 and 2 blackjacking everything
>get to the T2 police station mission where I can't knock anyone out
That mission really pushed me to my limit.

HEY FUCKER I'M GOING TO THE FUCKING BEAR PITS TOMORROW

Casing The Joint is going to make your pooper explode then

That level is so fuckin annoying holy shit

Oh I beat it years ago, but I remembered the station more because that was the first real restrictive mission.

Someone give me the basic gestalt on Thieves Guild, why was it so shit compared to all the other levels?

WHEN THE FUCK IS THAT THIEF 1 CAMPAIGN COMING OUT

Also any good full on campaigns on par with t2x?

I actually think Assassins is great, and Undercover is just good (dat switch hidden by the tree) but other than that this is pretty accurate. Escape is just fucking obnoxious and Thieves Guild sucks ass

...

I'd bump up Assassins and Mage towers, otherwise pretty good list

FTFY:

T1 had all the great original missions. T2 is a game you play for the fan missions.

Tight, focused gameplay design with a fun setting and style.
No grey brown handholding bullshit like everything in the last decade

It might have something to do with you running back and forth through sewerage. Even worse when you realise you missed some cash and have to trek back again just to steal enough to make the mission end.

your lady a shit

The last optimistic estimate that I saw was 2018, so realistically probably 2020 or so.

yeah they are all probably focusing on the anniversary contest this year

It was dogshit, people shit on 3 but it was a masterpiece compared to 4

Hey man, someday you'll wake up in a house with not a soul muttering about mead spilled over the rug.

it's literally too complicated for thief fans.

tell me you found the gem in the fireplace on your own, without a guide.

What are the best TDM missions?
