  3. Free games

    DEATHLOOP has never been a stealth game. It has some stealth mechanics, but it is clearly intended to be an asynchronous multiplayer shooter with mild rogue-elements, wrapped in a nice mystery-adventure. 

    Hmm... my motivation to try it is getting lower and lower. :)

    Arkana's games were a no-brainer for me once. That's definitely a thing of the past.

    Anyway, for free I would give it a go, of course.

    Other than Redfall, Arkane really didn't do anything wrong in recent years in my oppinon, and that game was publisher ordered, so it doesn't count! ;) DEATHLOOP is awesome, if you embrace the multiplayer part of it.

    I've only seen videos of it yet, and read reviews, but, the opinions about it seem pretty split... especially true stealth doesn't seem to be possible anymore since one of the updates.

    It also looks pretty "modern" in terms of characters and story. I don't want to get more into that, this shouldn't turn into a political thread.

    That's why I wouldn't spend money on it, but, would surely take a look for free.

    I don't think this is anywhere near the enjoyment of Dishonored for me.

  6. Blood West - Western stealth FPS with Stephen Russell

    Games should be celebrated in their own right, and not how they match up with a 25 y/o game because they share a VA.

    True, but, 1. this thread is called "Western stealth FPS with Stephen Russell", and, 2. nothing you said changes anything for me. The gameplay still doesn't look like something I'd enjoy.

    And, if you really think this forum is cynical, then you don't visit forums much. Actually, the majority of the users are are pretty mature, unlike in other forums.

    They will supposedly do the one-game-a-day spree for 15 days starting on December 20, ending noon on January 4, with a Jan 4-11th game after that.

    Yep. I just read about it. Happy holidays. :)

    I wonder if Epic Store soon gives Deathloop away. It's already been given away on Amazon Prime Gaming, obviously in cooperation with Epic Store, where it can be activated, so, I wonder if one of the next freebies will be Deathloop directly on Epic Store.

    Would be nice, as I at least want to take a look at it, but, don't want to spend any money on it (I really dislike what Arkane did in the recent past...).

  11. TDM ModDB Mod of the Year

    Always surprised again how popular action games are. I used to play action games, like, 20 to 25 years ago or something. I've really grown out of them quickly...

    Well, I still play the occasional Doom 3 or System Shock, or whatever, but, those are hardly sole action games.

  12. "Must play" Thief or Thief 2 fan missions?

    in Off-Topic

    I just finished another of skacky's missions, Midsummer Night Heist. Quite nice, and moderately sized mansion mission. And, quite a step up in terms of visuals compared to the Thief Gold missions I played before that.

    I played the Chalice of Souls before that, but, the snow theme and city design somehow didn't pick me up...

    Only Thief 2 has that feature, but it can be enabled via scripting on Thief 1 and Thief 1 FMs.

    So, if I understand you, no Thief Gold FM does sound and text notifications of completed objectives?

    The missions in The Black Parade surely did.

    I'm completely confused now. I was sure that original Thief Gold had those objective complete notifications (at least the sound). Reading this thread suggests otherwise though: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132977

    Somehow, I didn't get the "Objective complete" sound overlay and text display when I completed an objective with both the Between These Dark Walls and Endless Rain missions. Is that normal, and maybe a side effect of these missions having been developed for older versions of New Dark? I definitely got those in The Black Parade, so, it can't be a general thing.

    The one issue I have with T2X (heard of that one already in the past) is the female protagonist. Call me old fashioned, but, I only gel with male protagonists, being a male and all that, I can identify better with a male protagonist.

    One of the few exceptions to that is Tomb Raider. But, especially in a Thief game, I want to play a guy.

    I just finished The Black Parade (it was really nice), and, now I kind of tasted blood. :P

    You guys know some top notch fan missions for either game, which I should play? They should be of similar quality as the missions in The Black Parade. I frankly have no idea about the mission makers in Thief and Thief 2, so, I have to ask. I know that Melan did some missions for TG and TMA, but, frankly, I liked his TDM missions better. With the other mission authors, I have no idea.
