/v/ - Video Games

I tried playing some fan missions but apparently I needed to install a bunch of shit first and I just couldn’t be bothered - plus the protagonist wasn’t garrett anymore but some fucking bitch of a woman. Surely there are some mods with Garrett’s voice out there?

yeah thief 1 and 2 are good, shame nobody ever managed to get the same formula and improve on it and big shame that revolting sorry excuse of a reboot exists.

I tried playing Thief 3 but even with the sneaky upgrade patch it feels so weird and jittery

the AI seems or at least feels dumber even on expert

>>16637500

The third game (dark project, was it?) was so damn mediocre. Nevermind the most blaring flaw, the smaller corridor-like maps due to the fact the game was made with consoles in mind, it also featured the least amount of secrets and challenge.

I haven't played deadly shadows so I can't speak for it, it seems the general consensus is mixed

The Dark Mod is just a platform.

Its a bit more detailed in terms of mechanics compared to the original thief games but the quality is entirely dependent on the user levels.

How about Thi4f?

neat, there's even a chart for the dark mod!

I've seen the other two before a good while though, wonder if they could be updated with new missions

>TDM levels

>mansions

Mansion levels are so damn good, holy shit. Speaking of which, Knighton Manor is also a good one.

I however don't really like TDM because of the funky AI. The enemies become telepathic if you're at full visibility, so they can see you even if you're directly behind them and sometimes I swear even through doors and walls.

Take your boogeyman and fuck off, taffer

What happened to the dark mod's webpage, did it get DMCA'd or something? I can't see any links to manually download any missions on their page.

>>16640649

yeah thats weird

you can load FMs from the game though

Still opens up for me: http://www.thedarkmod.com/main/

Is it normal for fan missions to be super really fucking dark

I can't see shit I had to up the gamma

I never played this but heard it's good. When did it come out and what can you do in it?

>>16649661

It came out about a year or two before System Shock 2. It's a game where you act like a thief. That's it.

TDP is in my top 5 yet I've never gotten around to doing any of the fan missions. Pretty odd for me considering how much I was into mods. Speaking of mods, I wonder how that UT mod Thievery would go for a gamenight.

>HAVE FUN STEALING SHIT

YOU TOO

>First I X'd to Y'd, then I Y'd to X

I'm so fucking sick of this cliche.

Thievery is unplayable with more than like 10 players. Maybe 12.

>>16651103

Dang, I may install it and see if there are still any servers to hop on anyway. They released a 10th anniversary version a few years ago.

I played DS and the mod that fans made to try and fix it. Overall it's a very disappointing end to the series. I can think of a few things that were neat, but it was ultimately eclipsed by the fact that it felt like a watered down version of its predecessors. Even then, DS looks like a fucking masterpiece compared to Thief 4 which I barely count as a game, let alone an entry in the thief series.

Thi4f's Garrett always looks so much like Joaquin Phoenix to me. It's fucking uncanny.

>try thief 1

>bounce hard off of the clunky as shit controls

>thief 2 same issue

>actually manage to enjoy deadly shadows somehow

i also actually preferred the gameplay in invisible war to deus ex even though its obviously not as well written

>bounce hard off of the clunky as shit controls

What, specifically? Only thing that stands out about them is walk/run being on different keys rather than toggle, and the climbing being finnicky.
