  1. A new way of looking at Thief 4

    in Off-Topic

    Posted

    I'm curious do you honestly believe that how rope arrows were implemented before was ok? They were so annoying and horrible to use, getting stuck in awkward places because they just stuck into anything was not an ideal situation.

     

    I know we all hate a game feeling like its stuck on rails but things like ladders/ropes being stuck on rails is perfectly fine by me. When rope arrows work yeah its great but most of the time they do not. Also ladders are annoying to come off of without clambering into the ground and make large amounts of noise.

     

    Today it would be possible optimizing the ladder climbing and all the noise stuff without kiling the whole gameplay

    Experimenting with the arrows, which one works on the appropriate surface and in which situation, was one of the highlights of T1/2.

     

    Today the gamer will be guided `to the death `. That`s boring and a athmosphere-killer par excellence.

  3. A new way of looking at Thief 4

    That's pretty much how I felt about Thief 4 right from the start and I still do. I can still play TG whenever I want to. Plus there's the huge library of Thief FMs still out there, half of which I still haven't played yet. And of course TDM isn't going anywhere. So even if Thief 4 is horrible I'm not going to loose anything. The way I look at it I've got nothing to loose but everything to gain.

     

    100% agreed

     

    regarding the voice-acting: I bought the german versions, which were one of the better german syncronisations in gaming history. Most of the german translations are awful (ok...Portal 2 war great.too ). But this one was great.

    I heard Stephens voice a few years later and love his voice acting. His voice and the Garrett- avatar are a perfect symbiosys. Cynic, sarcastic.....unique.

    But what really p++++s m+ o++ (censored by the autor B) ) is, that Sqeenix changes almost everything in T4. I`m not talking about cosmetics or little improvements. They scraped the thief universe and rebuilt a 08/15 consumer-friendly flatliner-game. The story would fit on a beermat and is as much of an interest as it is a Duden from 1961 :wacko:.

    So it`s only a 19.-€ buy for me. After I play it through ( 5-6 hours in max.) I will immidiately start TDM as a course of treatment. :D

  7. Fan Mission Beta Test: Elite City

    mmhh... u r also really good at making urself some new friends, aren`t you?

     

    Believe me: All the people, which numerated me theyre merits, I met in my life, where nothing but `hot air`.

     

    So without proofs......yeah...it`s hot air....

     

    The amount of time given to produce something (like a map f.e. ) says nothing about it`s quality.

    If this would be so, I would have definetely created some real masterpieces of music and would be livin on

    Barbados with a longdrink @ hand.

    But unfortntly. I don`t.

    I didn't even know I was in the mood for melodic heavy metal, it's been so many years since I heard anything like that. But I really enjoyed this one, heard the whole thing without getting bored :D (and who's the drummer?)

  12. Thief 5 or `how can the plot be fixed`

    in Off-Topic

    Posted · Edited by vvGarrettvv

    Will there be a Thief 5?

    I don`t know.

    Do I want a Thief 5 ?

    Based on Thi4f and T3 ? I think not.

     

    But if there will be a fifth part how can the plot be fixed?

     

    That`s easy:

    Make it like they`ve done with DALLAS `85/`86 / Season 9

     

     

    Garrett wakes up and says to Basso during breakfast in theyre favorite inn:

     

    Man! I gotta real bad dream: There were witches, the keepers died

    and there was a plague and maaan, I couldn`t jump were I wan`t and

    I got some sort of superpowers.

    Some of the ale last night has been too fermented . Ok! But now back to business!

     

     

     

    But thank god, there`s the dark mod ;)

  13. Just bought a game key: WTF!

    in Off-Topic

    Posted · Edited by vvGarrettvv

    @BD: sorry for the bad experience with buying a gamekey <_< /btw. sometimes you have to generate the proper key with the key you received from the store. I got the same with my AC-Black flag UBI-key from NVIDIA.

    possibly AMD uses a similar procedure?

     

    my favorite gamekeystores are: gameladen.com, gamekeyzone.de, mmoga.com // never had any prob`s with one of them

     

    @SeriousToni: I think it`s clear that Thi4f isn`t worth ~50 bucks.

    But it`s worth 19€ for having something we can all laugh about and say:

    " :excl: That`s not the way stealth should be done -muhahaha :excl: "

     

    @Goldwell: na klar ! Für DAS Geld :D

     

     

     

    ....ordered on cdkeys.com / I´m so excited about the new Thi4f-threads hehehe

  19. TDM internal achievement system

    in The Dark Mod

    Posted

    I was never a fan of this type of feature, would rather see other things implemented. New skins for models, new models, that kinda thing...

     

    Edit: Just a personal thing, I always took to single player games more than multiplayer, and never really cared too much about leaderboards, but my own experience playing.

     

    I doesn`t like MP either.

    This feature only was intended to bring some competition.

    Thats it.

    Posted

    Ok Guys Ive got the HD mod to work and i have to say its AWSOME but the Water Mod thats packaged with it dosent. Says 7z is not a valid Win32 Application. On my origional topic , that of Thief-thecircle. Ive looked on a few websites that link to it but i cant get access to it. Can Anyone here access www.thief-thecircle.com ?

    I can.

    By the way: try www.ttlg.de

    they are up to date with fan missions & patches.

  22. TDM internal achievement system

    in The Dark Mod

    Posted · Edited by vvGarrettvv

    While i`m waitin for some PM`s to be answered ( ;)) I got the idea

    for an internal achievement-system. Not that

     

    " Dark Conqueror 50g", "hit the light`s 10g" or "Black Jack 5g" - console crap.

     

     

    After a player finished a map the summary of his mission will be displayed

    on an official table if he is registered to it, with an overall ranking. A little side -effect could be,

    that a registered user will be informed about latest updates and patches and so on,

    without need digging through the TDM-forum.

     

    new domain/subdomain:

    www.TDM-loot.com ...something like that.

     

    I think this could be raise the level of replayability the DARK MOD got already.

    If I see SOTHA (f.e.) got all the vases and jewelry but only 950 Gold instead of 1000 possible but without killing somebody,

    i can try to overtrump him avoiding blackjack anybody and get ALL the Loot and therefore raise in the overall ranking.

    The ranking-thing can be an option in the TDM -menue. If enabled it would show a little login/register window. Thats it.

     

    This idea comes up while I read the idea to a bank heist-mission with increased difficulty-level.

    Before you think "Yes yes ! Michael seems to be banged by his grass. "

    1. I don`t smoke at all.

    2. This achievement thing sometimes works even for me. It would be somekind of competition and emphasise the reward-feeling.

     

    It`s just an idea......so don`t kill me B)

  25. TDM Campaign

    in The Dark Mod

    Posted

    OK.

    Thanks for the answers.

    So the plot for the campaign has been finished or will it be created after you got a bunch of

    high quality single missions and put together with some drawed or animated cutscenes?

     

    @Goldwell:

    Ok. I will offer my help in the other thread :D
