The same way Fallout is post-apocalyptic Elder Scrolls now instead of post-apocalyptic Ultima.
Fixed.

I'm not exactly sure what the critics of the game want though. Lets say that the game will be mediocre or even subpar. I think it will still have respectable sale levels because they pulled off a great trailer and probably will have a decent PR campaign. Secondly some people who have never played originals might have fun playing it even if it is action-oriented stealth simulator. Should we shame them for enjoying it?
As a fan of LGS's works, my goal is to evaluate the new entry in the franchise -- does it hold up to what has been achieved so far, where does it take the franchise and what kind of impact will it have on the genre? Where does it go wrong, why does it go wrong, and are there things that it improves or that can be used elsewhere? The reboot has given me two ideas already even before it's out.
As for the people who enjoy the game, what of it? Just because it's a bad Thief game, doesn't mean it's a bad game. And even if it is a bad game, there will always be someone who likes it, sometimes because it's bad. There were plenty of people who enjoyed Deus Ex: Invisible War, even though lots of Deus Ex fans panned it. Doesn't mean you shouldn't criticise DX:IW and doesn't mean you should shame people who liked it.

I laughed bitterly when i saw that the game would actually feature a BOW UPGRADE. Everything about this game worries me the most.

There is a bow upgrade in Thief DS. What's the big deal?
june gloom on 5/2/2014 at 20:56
Er, to be honest it's not much of an upgrade, simply a magical enchantment that lets you do one thing or another but have no bearing on gameplay besides faction sidequests.
SubJeff on 5/2/2014 at 21:05
Yeah, but as one already exists it kind of pisses all over these frothers with their "omg bow upgrade who do they think they are trying to cash in on our fan made jokes hur" as if it's the first time it's happened.

It is what it is, but I dont exactly take solace in knowing that you lot are the leading minds behind the home of the classic Thief fandom movement.

And I suppose you're the man for the job?

I am only hanging on this whole time in grim anticipation of the harvest of converts that shall soon be upon us. It is our responsibility to convert as many newcomers to Dark Project as possible. Soon, Brother Brethren, soon...
