I'm sorry. We can talk about Thief... sort of. I've been playing Thief(4)properly for the first time. And I can now say that actually it is a very fun stealth game. Yes of course you feel very boxed in but you still have some choice how you go about completing the objective. The important thing is though that it is a good stealth game, NOT a good Thief game.

For us, Thief is about a grand story that really excels in telling the war of old vs. new, religion vs. technology, evil vs. evil. And from a gameplay prospective, one of the key elements in Thief is using sound to see, not just sight. These key elements that make DP/MA two of the best games of all time, are nowhere to be seen.

Now I am only a short way through the game and the story is just as vague as it was playing DP for the first time. So maybe it will get better but the lack of any 'hearing' gameplay makes it very cheap. Still fun, after all you are still using the shadows and able to steal things from under people's noses, but just not a proper Thief game.

I forgot if you ever actually played it Death. Did you ever get round to it?
