Thief 4

Platapus · 05-21-11, 12:58 PM

Anyone other than me waiting for Thief 4?

Generally speaking do people who like playing sub sims like the sneaky games like Thief and Splinter Cell?

I know that I do.

I'm a fan of SC games. Never tried the Thief games. I have frequently considered buying the older thief titles, though.

Still, I'm looking forward to Thief 4.

Thief 4? What's that? You mean that Thi4f they're working on?

Yeah, looking forward to seeing more of it. Really not much known yet though.

And yes, love the sneaky stuff. Basically if a game has stealth I'm sold.

Try Thief 3 Deadly Shadows. The first two were OK, but not as good as the third.

I am in the same submarine as Arclight. If it has stealth I like it. I guess that's also why I like sniper games also.

Oooooo.... a fourth title in the series?

I had a blast with Thief 2 and 3 (especially 3). Does my heart good to hear of a new one.

Guess that makes three of us in the same boat. Sneaky games rule uber alles. I even try to play some not-so-sneaky games as sneakily as I can.

A lot of die hard thief fans would think you have it backwards, that 1 & 2 were the best.

Personally I am hoping for more open world game play. (Oh I am also a sniper fan as well, too bad there are very few good ones).

Thief 1 had horrendous load times.

Personally I would rate them 3,2,1 in order but even 1 was fun to play.

Matter of fact, I am playing Thief 3 as we read.

Never got in to Thief really, waiting on Deus Ex HR and the recenly unvieled Hitman 5 for my stealth kicks

I only played the first hitman and found it too restrictively restrictive for my game playing style.

I like to take my time and reconnoiter the area and choose my own routes.

Did the later hitman games get better in that respect?

So far I like Sniper Elite even though some of the later missions are a bit restricted time runs.

What are some of the sniper games you like. I am always interested in finding ones I missed.

Not a fan of the Thief games. I love the concept, but not the execution. I bought Thief and Thief 3, both times hoping for a great stealth game, and both times what I got was a game with solid stealth mechanics but rubbish AI and terrible NPC dialogue. If Thief 4 fixes those problems I'll definitely buy it, but if it's more of the same I'll give it a miss.

More than you could possibly imagine- I urge you to pick up Hitman 4: Bloodmoney Its dirt cheap now and has not a single dull moment, there are some really VERY creative ways to complete your objectives, including an exploding BBQ and and a falling grand piano to name a few oh and....

Sniper Elite is the most current one I have. The other ones I liked are ancient now (delta force series, and swat 1). Can't really think of any others that were at all realistic.
