[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;44033070]It's confirmed, you need to be a hardcore gamer to play and/or remember old games.[/QUOTE]
I only played Thief 1 and 2 for the first time in I want to say some time around 2007-2009, I don't really remember. (The actual year wasn't important, my point was that it was already considered an old game when I first got it.) I thought it was actually a very solid game that aged very well. It was the game that converted me into a stealth gamer. Before that I was all about action.

[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;44032669]Thief 1 would be a good starting point.
You know, because its the first and still holds up.
[B]Especially considering you can get it for free right now on amazon.[/B][/QUOTE]
Hold the phone, where can I get it for free? Searched amazon and found nothing.

Also a tip, if you dont have a credit card you can use a fake credit card generator because you need to use one so you can finish the transaction.
You follow the steps, get to the pay screen, use the code, and it sets it to $0 so a fake card works since its not actual money.
I used this [url]http://www.getcreditcardnumbers.com/[/url] and used the first visa one. The expiration date can be anything.
Also if you dont see "Add to cart" dont worry, just try and buy it with the code you get and it will add it to your cart and purchase it.

One thing a lot of people here are forgetting is that a lot of gamers [I]aren;t[/I] like us. You and I can sure as shit launch an old ass game and get it to run okay and play through it, but not everybody [I]can[/I] or [I]wants to.[/I] There's literally nothing wrong with that.
Not everybody can go back and play games that came out before 2000, or games that came out in the early 2000s. There's a lot of people, myself kinda included, that get frustrated by older games. Like, when I bought Deus Ex on steam it ran like shit, the controls were fucking terrible, and when I asked any of my hardcore deus ex friends for help on how to get started/figure out what stats to get/how to make it run not-terribly, they'd just go "Ugh, you're just too stupid to understand it!"
Not everybody wants to go through that, and they're not [I]stupid[/I] or [I]wrong[/I] for wanting to play a newer game that doesn't require a ton of obstacles to get through.
A lot of these older games have horribly acidic fans, too, that just [I]hate[/I] everything newer that comes out, as if those titles somehow make their precious games worse????

They dont make the old games worse, but shitty failed reboots hurt the chance that you will ever see a proper new game done in the series ever again.

Nobody wants to work hard just to play a game.
But nobody wants a game to just play itself. They're pretty much two sides of the same coin.
There will always be people who want a casual style game of that genre, or a super hardcore one. Sometimes that genre or game just isn't for them. Like Roguelikes.

So if your someone who can deal with graphics and old shit, Thief 1 is the best starting point.
If you cant, Thief 3 would be your best bet honestly.[/QUOTE]
I usually tell people to play the Dark Mod if they're interested in Thief. It's free, has modernish graphics, and absolutely nails the spirit of Thief. If they don't like how it plays they won't like the originals.
If someone wanted to buy a Thief game and could only buy one, I would tell them to buy Thief 2. You're not really missing that much with the story, and you get the best level design in the trilogy. The first one had some good levels but also some really terrible ones based around combat and obnoxious zombies and burricks. The third one is buggy and the levels aren't as complex as the first 2. The second is the best representation of Thief I think. Obviously this is a special case though, because Thief Gold is available for free at the moment, but any other time I really think Thief 2 would be the best bet for a first time player.

Thankfully since Deus Ex is a PC game, you could easily rebind your controls. And I don't see how the game not holding your hand is a bad thing, in fact there's a shit ton of options you had in Deus Ex, it's considered by most to be the deepest game on the market, in any market. You need to think outside the box and turn off the casual switch that the modern market has kept you on for so long.
And sure it's not wrong to want to play a new game in a series, but when a majority of reviewers are giving it 5-7 out of 10 scores based on a grade school reviewing scheme, it isn't looking good, especially if IGN has to go to the [B]forbidden numbers[/B].
And you're forgetting a bunch of important things that made the old Thief games so great. It had an amazing sound system, one of the most complex sound systems in any game to date, meaning you had to watch out where you stepped so it was more than just "stay in the shadows to be invisible". And don't pull any "BUT IT'S HAAAARD" excuses on me, if anybody wants to be called a "gamer", they at least aught to earn it. I wouldn't claim to be a master film critic despite only watching G.I. joe movies, Fast and Furious, and the Expendables. I'd look like a giant tool, [I]like how I look right now[/I] for taking the obvious bait you're laying out for replies and ratings.
And I don't see how anybody has claimed the new Thief game is going to make Thief 1 any worse, it's just gonna mean the new Thief game is either really shit, or the marketing team was so fucking awful they might as well have been advertising Commercial Brand dogshit.
Just because a game is old doesn't mean its shit. If that were true for anything, a majority of games would be considered shit by that standard. Anybody here would agree that Thief 1 and 2 are clearly superior to this, weather this new game somehow manages to be good or not.

Uh, fuck.
[QUOTE=WhyNott;44019486]I don't like how people point this B:I "puzzle" out as an argument to prove how dumb are games nowadays. This sequence is litterally the first thing that you as a player have to interact with in this game, and it's more of an introduction to the religious symbols of Columbia (this pattern repeats on some propaganda posters later in the game and apparently have some deeper meaning to Comstock's cult) then an actuall puzzle of any sort.[/QUOTE]
No one took me seriously :(
