big mean giraffe posted:Have they fixed the wonky arrow physics? I tried playing some darkmod stuff a while ago but couldn't get over the weird flight of things. They didn't. I don't consider the arrow physics to be bad, it's just that the bow from TDM seems considerably less powerful than Garrett's.

I'm playing the new game and it's really jarring to hear people talking about taffers one minute and hearing half a dozen f-bombs the next. I think it would've helped to make the game feel a little more Thief-y if they had just stuck with the weird euphemisms instead of trying hard to sound edgy with loads of cussing. Do AAA games have some kind of gently caress quota they have to fill nowadays or something? Also, I wish these two random guards would talk about something other than how a third offense gets you the noose.

I tried playing this yesterday and it was so bad I don't think I even made it through the first mission. The voice acting is horrible, the controls are clunky, I hate every character including not-garrett. I thought this would be fun to stream and make fun of but it's not even funny bad.  (The swooping is kind of fun)

There's also a new version of NewDark. Seems to be mostly stability fixes, but most importantly quote:- fixed line-of-sight check between player and flashbombs so it properly checks if the player's eyes are getting blinded and not the crotch

I bought this game on the steam sale (part of the bundle, of course) and rather enjoyed the first level. Then I came here and everyone seems to hate it. =( My only complaint is that it runs a little slower than it ought to on my hardware.

The fact that it is a resource hog is just the icing on the cake.

I'm going through Thief 4 at the moment, and my biggest gripe is the loving hub world. It's clear that the devs put a lot of time and work into it, but "exploring" it is repetitive and confusing because there are very few landmarks for you to actually orient yourself with. It's a giant mess of samey-looking corridors with one or two "unique" places that barely stand out from the rest of the map. At best, it's an obnoxious way of padding the game out between missions, but at worst it's frustrating when you actually try to explore it and find you're looping through the same handful of places over and over because it all looks the same, even with the map activated. The effort they put into making the hub should've been used to make the proper levels have a lot more routes and be a decent size instead of being linear messes. The sheer amount of collectible sets is hilarious. Did they seriously expect people to search through the tiny-rear end levels and awful hub over and over to find Yet Another Ring With A Snake Design? I have no idea how anyone would find all of them without a guide because there's so many bullshit collectibles that it feels like the game is simply jerking you around instead of making you feel like you're actually collecting something interesting. I'm up to Chapter 5 right now, and I can't wait to see how bad the plot gets. I've read some spoilers, but I've really got to see how important an obnoxious goth girl is to the game world in person.

The developers of Thief 1 & 2, former Looking Glass employees, have a Kickstarter going for Underworld Ascendant. It looks very solid and they've got a fully working prototype of all the different game systems that they've been working on. Thief fans should check it out. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/othersidegames/underworld-ascendant

Even if they somehow make a bad game those guys have made several of my favourite games ever, I'd give them money for a turd in a box with no regrets.

I feel like if they wanted to make this game, they would have made it already. We're talking about arguably the first 3D RPG, and the closest thing we've gotten is Arx Fatalis which was fun but still kinda crappy.

That's a seriously involved article, the likes of which I've rarely seen in gaming journalism. There's tons of interviews and research and side articles! Plus, now I know that Stephen Russell and Terri Brosius are working on Ascendant!
