Raven's Cry is published by the same publisher as Two Worlds and Jack Orlando.

That's basically all you need to know.

Ravens cry was going to be a two worlds 2 expansion pack

It's the same engine, tarted up a little bit.

It's not only from the same publisher, it's from the same Polish developer. Those guys should have stuck with RTSes (EARTH series).

So, the new Thief is up on PS plus. Is it worth playing now that it's patched, and what difficulty settings should I use if I want it to be as close to the first two as possible? I'm guessing custom is the way to go, but which choices specifically, and does a higher base difficulty make the enemies way too aware?

Edit: I know, technically not Steam but this is my go to games thread guys!

I dunno how good the PS version specifically is, but the chunk I played of the PC version didn't have any of the crazy sound issues/stealth bugs/whatever the hell people freaked out about at launch. If it's literally free you might as well give it a shot.

Google pulls up this guide to the custom difficulty. Though I think there's a few more UI-specific options you'd need to turn off (like enemy awareness indicators and loot glint) to make it as close to the original Thief games as possible.

Can't say anything about the higher difficulty level. I kept it on Normal.

I was looking forward to a buggily amusing shithole for $10 at some future point, a la TW1, but not even that is looking worth it.

Two Worlds was a masterpiece but I feel like it had to be experienced in a community of like-minded individuals who played the game at the same time and shared their findings to fully shine. It's the perfect bandwagon and in-jokes game.

Did you like the oldschool Quake/Unreal instagib days? Then you'll loving love this.

Let me give you a run down. Left mouse is shoot. When you hit somebody, they die. If you get hit, you die. Right mouse boosts you like a rocket jump. Aim under you for up momentum, aim behind you for forward momentum, so on and so on.

I'm in AU and can play on US servers with no issues at all. Its an absolute blast and you should grab it for the $8~ USD it costs, or get a 4 pack and split it. Seems like there are always people playing.

Pretty sure he did it on purpose. I hope you realise you can just put him on ignore, or adblock the gif and put him on ignore.

e; vv the gif still breaks basically every browser, even on 16GB of RAM and fio, because gif is a piece of poo poo format.

You will never get it at all like the first two, because it's a bunch of loving garbage.

Nah. It works just fine in Safari and Chrome, even on 8GB. I mean, it's just a 45MB gif — that's a rounding error for a modern browser.

I am on Chrome and it does not work just fine. Gif is a terrible format.

Having never played any of the Sniper Elite games, would it be better to pick up 2 or 3? I'm itching to headshot some nazis.

Probably too late on this but 3 added a load of weird stealth mechanics that you were screwed if you ignored and is a much different game because of it. Sniper Elite 2 also has stealth mechanics but nothing as far fetched as some of the stuff 3 has you do. 2 is a really fun game all the way to the end, whereas I preordered 3 and only ended up playing 2 or 3 levels.
