Somehow it actually seems more tolerable compared to Saints Row 2022

@@fenrirsrage4609 dude who do you think your dunking on? That game was panned by literally everyone, their grandma, and grandads ash’s on the mantel. The flaws of that game were obvious and glaring the worst thing you can do to a game like that is straight up ignore it.

@@thedude4840 you somehow managed to miss the point of my comment lmao

@@fenrirsrage4609 no I understand your point but I’m of the opinion that dunking on a throughly dunked on topic is just lame. It’s like calling the Michael bay transformers movies bad. No shit Sherlock. It’s easy and I am so goddamn sick of easy reviews and easy dunks and everyone just doing what they know will get the most likes and “true” comments. It’s how morons like angry Joseph and synthetic idiot get audiences. They just piss and moan about a popular topic with obvious and glaring issues that don’t require any real analysis no real editing or production just some douche canoe sitting in front of a camera.

@@fenrirsrage4609 I think that he needs a mugmosa and think about late stage capitalism.

It's not a popular series because Theif isn't Doom or a bad game.

It doesn't engage the algorithm. If you wonder why RU-vid is doomed, that's a clear indicator.

I legit put this on to sleep sometimes

I actually use petty thief to fall asleep on a semi regular basis

I'm not even joking ive fallen asleep to this series for the past three nights

Garrett knows nobody in his generation is going to get to retire.

Word. Mad respect to our Lord and Savior, Civvie.

Same here, so stoked that it's returned.

The viewcount on such videos says you're a minority. Most of the viewers of this channel don't care. Including me.

@@KeksimusMaximus "Stop liking things i don't like!"

@@KeksimusMaximus So?

@@KeksimusMaximus ok and?

Same literally last night I finished the old series again

Same

it autoplayed this one and i thought itd already also be done, not realizing it was just uploaded haha

My favorite Civvie series

Almost same, I rewatched that series about a week back.

Likewise - Thief 2 is my all-time favorite game. I replay it every year. :)

Hopefully with embracer not for much longer

he only game they've fully released, is Dusk, and Unfortunate Spaceman. As far as i know. But they've got some goodies on the backburner. They're baiting out our taste buds.

@@memes_the_dna_of_the_soul5487 what?

@@memes_the_dna_of_the_soul5487 Amid Evil, Dusk 82, Super Galaxy Squadron

@@memes_the_dna_of_the_soul5487 Amid Evil is fully out And honestly their stuff in progress (with the unfortunate exception of Gloomwood) is so good, I don't even mind. They take their time to make sure stuff comes out right, if not quickly

Same here, my personal faves are the "dusk" trilogy and his vid on quake.

I feel the same, his writing and cadence and delicious syrupy nostalgia all make for greatness.

I have to say, when I get home from work in the morning, I sometimes like to see Pro Doom while eating breakfast. Not that it will help to put me to sleep, but rather help put me in to a coma of content and happiness that only his deadpan delivery and witty analysis can deliver.

@@JP-zi5md well put my friend, couldn't have said it better myself.

I agree. Civvie 's channel is my #1 on all of RU-vid right now. I've watched every video many times and always enjoy them.

LOL Well done!

That cheese was very helpful in rise of the triad 2013

Whenever I hear the words " Shipping and Receiving" now, it automatically sends me back to a blast to the past from Yogscast Voltz Wars series.

Is Gloomwood like thief? it looked more shooter heavy to me with stealth as an optional feature rather than a main one

Oh, interesting! I think Pro Wang is the Civvie series that gets most people into Thief.

@@louthinator It's a "stealth shooter", it is more like Splinter Cell than Thief imo, but atmosphere feels like Thief what with Victoria era designs and stuff.

@@louthinator The first demo was significantly more Thief-like in the feel.

@@louthinator not really shooter heavy in my experience, always stuck with the canesword cause the game doesn't give you much ammo tbh

>make a new episode using thief 2 engine I'll take "what is any Thief fan mission made since NewDark dropped" for 30$, Alex.

Already done: Thief 2X: Shadows of the Metal Age. There are other fan campaigns, of course, but that one's probably closest to a proper sequel (not much shorter then Metal Age, has briefiengs, cinematics, voice acting, new tools).

you should really dive into fan missions world then, there's some top quality stuff there

@@bruhirl1023 hey can you point me to some of the best stuff I am finishing thief too again and then I'll find some time.

Yep, all three of them are great! I’m so glad there are only three of them, and that they didn’t mess it up with a… fourth game… Oh no…

@@tycho7006 They were planning on releasing another game, I think they were calling it "Thi4f" thankfully that never came to pass....

Thief 76 was the greatest

I think they renamed it Gloomwood?

@@YukoValis Seriously, though, who would call a game Thifourf? >_>

Oh, the gun! You want me to use it?

Okay, I heard "BJ". I didn't catch the rest of it.

@@lokiblackaria You heard text? That's impressive.

@@isaiahsmith6016 Proly used a text to speech program.😆

Ooh my nads

Now speaking of dust on the screen do you know anyway to remove them effectively? I tried with everything i have but it doesn't seem to work with me

​@@zaholykrusedar1459Tiny bit of Windex on a paper towel, plus s second one to wipe away any streaks.

I haven't even watched the video yet, and I already know you're talking about the cop-shop level. I've used that for years as an amazing example of using sound to mess with the player.

I could recommend to try out the Dark Mod. Lots of community made content, game feels pretty smooth and authentic (expect lockpicking, updated with proper mechanic). Have to fish for the good scenarios but you can find hidden gems if you browse through the maps.

I rather liked Thief: Deadly Shadows, I think it has a good atmosphere but also some camp factor due to the ragdoll effects and some of the voice acting. Some of the added mechanics were cool (such as wall climbing) and the "open-world" hub. It also sports one of the spookiest levels in a (generally) non-spooky game (Shalebridge Cradle).

@@-chrgrpeasant4274 I keep meaning to do that, actually. A twitch streamer I watch does the occasional taffer stream with Dark Mod, and some of the stuff he's found is legit impressive.

I remember, there was a mansion scenario which got really spooky. Forgot the name tho

YEEEEESSSS

Stop working so much. Unless the payment is truly worth it.

Sounds like the new saints row…

@@GreenEyedDazzler the difference being that Garrett doesn’t bring up paying rent every two seconds

@@ianperiquet5141 "My student loans!"

@@ianperiquet5141 Its totally ok, I heard the people he steals from kicked a dog once.

@@ianperiquet5141 In fact Garrett expresses a lot of dry wit about it and isn't just being like "lmao the things we do for rent." The fact he took the first job knowing he'd get a favor out of it solely for his own gain along with all the potential loot involved says a lot about his character instead of just being like "It's my first day a-thiefing! Look how zany and relatable I am to you, audience!"

>favourite game of all time When did you stop playing games? In 2000?

@@KeksimusMaximus yeah your favorite game MUST be from a certain time frame.

Same here. Whenever someone asks to recommend them a game, I tend to recommend the Thief trilogy. Hopefully I've managed to convince a few people 🙂

@@KeksimusMaximus You don't need to shame people for enjoying a game. Civvie has had high praise for it as well. But it's my favourite because no other stealth game has had the same type and depth of stealth, sound, atmosphere and just general gameplay as this game. The bigger question is how have no games taken things like Thief's sound system and improved upon it.

Thief 2 is in a league of its own for sure

Bennie isn't the only one who says that. Which makes me think that people just... try not to think about ghosts that very much real in that world.

Perfect 4, if we can also count SsethTzeentach.

"Fuck you if you don't like the things I like." Wow what a mature reasonable attitude.

@@Shenaldrac exactly, makes me care about this series even less.

@Shenaldrac @Sam Cooper Awww, poor babies. Imagine reading this and thinking its a personal attack, rather than a generalised joke. Also, taking this comment as a "reason" to not watch this series just shows you weren't gonna watch it anyway, making your "point" moot. And also proves how much of a child you really are. Here's an idea for the both of you: grow the fuck up, go outside, see the sun, and come back to the internet when you can handle it maturely. Have a pleasant day. :)

@@Shenaldrac thats stealth game fanboys for you.

@@Logan-xo9uc Also to be clear, I _like_ the Petty Thief videos. I'll never play these games, but it's cool seeing Civvie play them and experiencing the story that way. It's just this guy's attitude I have a problem with.

Thank you. 👍

Well tbf you are a thief, you live in the shadow and the darkness is your friend, there is no reason to use a source of light to betray your best friend if your eyes are already familiar with the dark

@@zaholykrusedar1459 Yes, the idea does seem counterintuitive, but the game is not always about sneaking. Often times you're just exploring with no enemies nearby (or just no conscious ones), and Garrett has no supernatural senses. Darkness is not so much a friend, as it is a temporary ally.

@@Mrityugata A temporary ally that help ya about 80% of the gameplay And yeah i get what you mean, but people are lazy when it comes to this, and nobody know what may happen if suddenly someone ambush ya

Doom Eternal Fans* They're a whole different breed from your standard Doom player.

And you crying about it only motivates people to care about this series even less.

@@samcooper2474 Ok Sam, you don't like the franchise. We get it.

Or System Shock 2, I think Civvie might like that game more than the 1st one, helps that it's also on some form of the Dark Engines

@@ArcturusOTE I think a video on the first game would also be extremely interesting

yeah i love that part but what about when he teams up with jc denton, destroys the one ring, and says "i never asked for this"

And then he stealed all over those guys

It's still there? I thought it has been taken down...

@@alexmelik4030 I just started replaying it the other night, finished a couple missions so far. Not sure of the past with it being taken down, but it's still up now
