Thief 1998 or Deus Ex GOTY?

[aks2161989]

I am having trouble choosing between these 2 games. Things I am looking for-

- Extreme replayability
- Good gunplay
- Very unique gameplay
- Ability to approach a mission in multiple ways

Which to choose?

Deus Ex GOTY + Revision.

[SMIFFY]

Both great games but Deus Ex probably has more scope for replayability although I found the weapons to be pretty anaemic.

Thief does not support widescreen.

Deus Ex

While you can approach the missions is slightly different ways, Thief is focused on stealth, and does it very well.

[Defective Dopamine Pez Dispenser]

Both games are genre-redefining legends and game design high watermarks of their era imo. I would normally say Deus Ex without hesitation, but there's one caveat: are you more interested in stealth or everything else? If everything else, Deus Ex without hesitation imo. If stealth exclusively, and the premise of thieving, then you might actually enjoy Thief more.

Instead of Thief, go with the Dishonored series.

Deus X

I really wanted to like Thief but found it way too outdated and kinda jank. Modern one was alright but nothing special.

Deus X aged really well.

No darkness meter! Inferior cash grab!

if you want a darkness meter, go Styx: Master of Shadows instead of Thief.

Mankind Divided is good, but too short imo.

The other deus x's are too old.

So your saying I should totally grab Shards of Darkness and Master of Shadows for $5 total, if I like stuff like Shadow of Mordor and Sly Cooper?

Without modifying it, I could not get it to run in widescreen. I meant the default version on Steam, and without downloading any patches from other websites.
Unless they recently changed that?

Here is a topic supporting my claim:

Styx is like a pure stealth game. The goblin sux at fighting so it isn't like Shadow of Mordor. And Sly Cooper is too much of a platformer to be like Styx where, although there is some platforming, it doesn't take center stage like in Sly Cooper.

Styx Master & Shard are fun stealth games if you like sneaking around, collecting items and using your wits to find alternate paths to success. The goblin can throw poison darts too, so there is lots of sneaky attacks.

Word, thanks. Gonna get both of them then. Loved Sly but the platforming is hit or miss for me depending on mood.
