It's in the title it's not a good thief game everyone knows this, if you want a sim to steal stuff dishonored does it better.

Lol, even for the time it didn't do anything for the stealth genre unless found swooping innovative.

Its still way better than Thief 3 though.


Thief 3 has to be the most clunkly peice of dog sh*t to ever call itself a game

I disagree, thief 3 I can actually call a thief game. Better plot, characters, levels despite segments. The hub is less of a hassle to navigate.

+1 I agree, its not an ugly game is only born unfortunate because of porting.
I liked it enough to play it, despite the hub of which I'm not an admirer I have to admit however that the thing that bothered me the most was the absence of the rope arrow and lack of verticality.

The climbing gloves were very underutilized.

Yeah, people tend to forget just how clunky and imprecise Thief 3 was to control. Coming to it from any modern game, it is really hard to get used to it.

That's because you can switch between first and third person.

The game was just clunky to control, period. The sensitivity of the joystick/mouse would get cut in half if you tried to use it while moving.

The game was very much "move foward" and "turn" not ever both at the same time.

Its Resident Evil tank controls in a FPS, it was garbage design. Probably meant to hide an extreamly low FPS even relative to other console games of the time.

You sort of have to play it at 30 FPS because of the way the animations are animated at 30 and dont interpolate. In other words they are either in between frame 1 to 30 of an animation and never inbetween.

This creates really janky animations at high frame rates. This effects the view bobbing, which is tied to Garrets body, and therefor the whole camera becomes janky at high frame ratse.

The game was a technical disaster. Its not a wonder Ion Storm went belly up after this. Well deserved.

I disagree, the controls are fine I've beaten the game twice with no issues outside of a patch.

The 2014 thief game has nothing on the first two; TDP and TMA. I got through about an hour and sort of lost interest in it. it doesn't have much of dishonored either.

What does dishonored half to do with thief? Besides the fact some devs worked on both games.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is what a "flawed gem" would be like. Thief on the other hand...

This is somewhat misleading, given that the article isn't all that positive.
