Thread 723304430

Show me one (1) single franchise cooler than this.

What's the first one? 3/Deadly shadows? Who are the 2 characters behind him? I've played it on release, but don't remember shit about that game.

>>723306389
something something trickster something something le dryad of nature

>>723306460
Oh, so it's thief 1? I thought that was the third image. The first and 3 are both Thief 1? Again, I haven't played the series for over 20 years.

>>723304430 (OP)
has Thief posting been on the rise lately? Not complaining, beat the first game for the first time ever earlier this year and had an absolute blast
>t. 34 y/o anon

>>723306495
i don't know i don't remember shit about 3 either. i'm getting some fuzzy guesses of there being a plant woman of some kind in the tutorial and docks.

>>723306389
Deadly Shadows is clearly the third one. You can see the Hag and the tower that point to the brother betrayer in the artwork.

Thief 4 was bad enough to kill the series. Doesn't sound very cool to me.

Dishonored didn't really take up the mantle though. People just stopped making this kind of stealth game instead. Maybe it's the ADHD and illiteracy the brainrot generation has.

Thief India: Deadly Showers

>>723306680
Series was already dead by that point. Thief 4 was done just because they owned the IP and needed to spend money on a tax return.

>>723306581
The hag which dishonored then ripped off

>>723306780
That sounds like some absolute bullshit you pulled out of your ass while knowing nothing about financing. But by all means present your sources.

>>723306546
It feels like it, yes. Massive /v/ incline. Thief (1+2) is, indeed, the greatest game ever made.

>>723306881
It's just you reposting your black parade screenshots and making threads kek

>>723306645
But isn't that the the trickster on the right of the third image? I don't recall him being in the third game.

>>723306881
I love how keepers just keep loosing their precious light gems.

>>723306975
He's there because you have to retrieve the Eye from the first game to complete the prophecy. Just a artistic nod to how Thief 3 tried to connect all the games in the series I suppose.

>>723306925
N-no anon, I'm NOT the only person posting Thief threads, okay? T-that's a hecking lie!

>>723307067
Ah, that's right. Thanks. Even though Deadly Shadows was a step down in terms of gameplay, I did like the story. The trilogy was great. From memory, the fourth game had little to nothing to do with the original 3 on top of being bad? Any chance of the VR game being good?

>>723306680
You don't know about this?

>>723307076
Hmm okay carry on. I need to finish TBP anyway

>>723306680
I still fail to understand why people keep saying Dishonored is a spiritual successor to Thief. Outside of vaguely similar aesthetic they barely have anything in common.
Also, Disnonored has no light/shadow mechanic. That alone eliminates you as a Thief successor.

>>723307271
Some VR project from an unknown developer isn't exactly a new all-timer Thief game. We'll talk if it full releases and is actually any good and not just a cashgrab. Which seems unlikely.

>>723307518
>Also, Disnonored has no light/shadow mechanic.
It does

>>723307584
I am pretty sure it only has a line of sight system.

>>723307602
Oh i was misremembering

>>723307518
There are some similarities but yeah it's not a great spiritual successor. It's no Prey to System Shock 2.

>>723304430 (OP)
Is Thief reeeeealy slow?
I think I like the concept of stealth, but don't have the patience to play it. Always avoided the series because of that.

>>723307973
Then get some patience, zoomerfag.

>>723307973
It's as slow as you decide to move.

>>723308064
NTA, but one thing I really don't miss from Thief are those arbitrary "find X amount of loot" objectives, that just reduce the otherwise tense game to running around across the whole map like a headless chicken, because you missed 20 pieces of gold somewhere. Those should be optional, not mandatory.

black parade is so good holy fuck. easily in top 5 games for me, even though i cant navigate large maps for shit.
>every mission takes about 2 hours on extreme difficulty
>still play it religiously from start to end

the ending fucked me up. Unrelated, I cant run T2X, I keep getting the missing CD error and I suppose I'm too lazy and retarded to get the Angel loader working, any anons willing to help a dumbass out?

>>723308064
I've got plenty of patience. Just not for waiting for guard patrols to slowly walk back and forth every other room.

>>723308280
Yeah, that was definitely stupid. Some of the levels really had you searching the same rooms three times over to find some shit half-stuffed behind a chest and shit. Fanpatching removed that kind of thing.

>>723307973
It's not VERY slow, but it's slow. It's also, however, one of the most intense games you'll ever play.

I played the first game a few days ago and enjoyed what I played but my zoom zoom brain just hates empty maps. The gameplay was good especially light and sound detection but I was so bored just walking around bland corridors.

>>723308437
I didn't have enough patience to write a proper sentence desu

>>723308461
Play the Black Parade.

Is Shadows of the Metal Age actually worth it?
I remember liking it back in the day, but back in the day I was a little shit easily impressed by a lot of things.

>>723307076
GOTCHA BITCH

>>723308608
ok
I like it so far

>>723306680
>kill the series
a new Thief game is literally coming out this year

VR "games" dont count anon

>>723308915
Kino.

>>723308915
WHEN I WAS

>>723309034
Sometimes dead is better.

Don't play Black Parade until you've played a heap of fan missions, anon. It will forever mog the others.
