Doom3's brand of scary is more of the "boogie boogie! i'm a monster!" than a cool, stylish, Thief kind of scary. I found Thief scarier too. Heck, I found Half-Life 1 scarier than I find Doom3.


Re: Undying

Yes. I own Undying, and have played a little bit of it. I don't know much about it, but it seems solid. My friend thought it was too scary and had to stop playing.

I agree. I got Doom 3 (for dark mod) and I didn't think it was scary. It was just annoying not being able to see anything.

Garr! Damn zombies.

*I shine the flashlight around and remember where the zombies are*

*I Get out the pistol (putting flashlight away in the process) and shoot into the darkenss at what I think is the general direction of the zombies*

*I Get out the flashlight again (putting the pistol away) to see that I haven't even hit a zombie*

And the cursing ensues.

Hey, thanks- I'll have to do some downloading and give this a go. I haven't played a whole lot of FMs and have been looking for some sort of meaningful way to go about playing them. I realize that it's just your take on it, but it should be fun.
I've only actually played a couple of the FMs you put in the list.

I have a rather unique thing with thief.. I can't play it if there's anyone else in the room, or if even the slightest chance that I might be interrupted. so I generally play the game when I can be completely assured that nobody will disturb me in any way possible.
(yes, I even put the phone off the hook)

And.. this might be silly, but it's my own damn fault.... at the time when I got thief, I was reading up alot regarding how memories are stored in the brain.. and thought that it would be cool to drink a certain flavour of tea everytime I played thief.... so after my first playthrough of both games (1 and 2) I decided to take a break..... then time flies onward and one evening.. a friend of mine offers me a cup of tea.. and the tea he had put into the cup was.... you guessed it! the tea that I mentioned earlier! so, to me that tea both tastes and smells just like thievery, I don't know if it's available anywhere else in the world, but in sweden it's called "ceylon gardens" and is made by lipton.

So yeah, now I'm going to get a new cup of thief tea and finish TX2 :D
Mmm.. tasty thievery... oh yeah, I also tend to eat salty crunchy things because it goes well with the tea... :P

(yes, I'm a thief nut, and I always will be... those games are the best!)

Damn, dude, thats pretty damned crazy. Good friggin work! :thumb:

Sometimes when i play Thief, i get a can of mix nuts, some kinda fruit, or a caffinated beverage of some sort. Keeps me goin thru the long hours of stealing and throwing people off balconies and rooftops, thieving does make one rather thirsty! :cheeky:

Id have to say, my truest Thief tradition is to play it right after i come home from school, or right before i go, mostly to relieve stress. If i do it before school, it helps keep my mind somewhat...cohesive thru the day, tho i do get a jonze at about the middle of 3rd period... most annoying :sweat:
