Thief video introduces safe-cracker Basso, Garrett’s only buddy - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;42748334]Actually the whole appeal to Garrett in the previous game was how he was basically an asshole who does everything for his own profit. In the first games you get several fences (including Basso), you abandon one of them and he ends up dying in jail because he's no longer useful to you, and you never befriend one, you always treat them like shit and they help you because it makes them money. As for Basso in the previous games, the reason Garrett helped him in the first place was because Basso had a hot sister and Garrett wanted to bang her, and he thought helping him escape would get his sister wet like a soggy fish. Basso also used to have a fiance, who was apparently retconned in this new game because now Jenivere is no longer Basso's girlfriend but instead a crow. They even decided to give Garrett a dead-sidekick-that-died-because-of-a-fuckup-from-his-part as an excuse for some random character trait, because Garrett the great asshole who steals from people was apparently kin on helping some random chick become good at stealing (which means less profit for him) because... plot. Also to explain why you have a grappling hook, I guess. In that one website that advertises the game it's emphasized a lot on the fact Garrett is "confused" on what side to take so it's pretty clear he's going to end up having some sort of emotional dilemna over being an asshole who steals or an asshole who steals and helps the good guys from reaching freedom because that's how ethics work. They mentioned several times that the game was going to have a more heavy/emotional story instead of "garrett is a badass motherfucker who steals stuff and won't take shit from nobody" which quite frankly was all we needed. Even gameplay wise I don't even know what the fuck they are going for. No more jumping, a mini-map, obvious visual cues, and I assume they'll also take all the reading and investigating parts of the previous games out of the picture because that shit is just too hard or something.[/QUOTE] In DS one of your fences gets the shit beat out of him and all you care about is if he can still fence your loot. And another fence dies and Garett's like "Welp guess I'll have to find another fence.". Garett's a sarcastic, witty asshole and that's what makes his character great. His VA just sold his personality. The new guy sounds like a mopy emo teen which I suppose fits with the new and terrible personality and look they've given him. Why must reboots always make the MC an angsty emo piece of shit? I guess asking for something original is to much to ask for these days. And the setting is just a ripoff of Dishonored which in itself is really cliche. Oh boy the evil elite making everyone's lives miserable how original!

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;42729623]Nice to see some throwbacks from the original games. Such a thing warms a thief's heart. [editline]2nd November 2013[/editline] They even used "taffer." Maybe there's hope after all.[/QUOTE] No, their is no hope sadly. As much as I want Thi4f 4 to be some amazing game, it wont. I just dont get it, all they fucking had to do was look at Thief 1 and 2, copy that, and just improve it, such as better movement(that new dark engine floaty movement) They should have just fucking all sat down in the office and played Thief 1 and 2 over and over again for like 3 months straight and analyzing why they are both so good in their own rights and copy that. I bet if you took all the best the custom made fan maps for Thief 1/2, mushed them together in one nice and neat pack, you would have higher quality content. You cant just put Garret in a game, slap in the lightgem mechanic, make it stealth, and call it Thief.

I know already. Don't remind me of such things, they depress me.

It has its issues sure, but so does 1&2.

Well at least we still have [url=http://www.thedarkmod.com/main/]the dark mod[/url] as a spiritual successor of some sort.

(And you know exactly which level I'm talking about.) Otherwise, the game as a whole is a buggy mess that just didn't feel right to play. In would only reccomend it to stealth game fanatics, fans of the Thief series who want to know the story, or prospective writers or enthusiasts but only for that one mission because otherwise it's really not worth putting up with the glitchiest controls known to man.
