Thief: Deadly Shadows Review

You glorious bastard

Thank you

Got it!

I love video games

Very intelligent but not very good eyesight

@@victorbukhaltsev9010 I’d probably walk into walls too, if my eyeballs had a perpetual fisheye lens filter on them

Who turned out the lights?! Don't they know these are Deadly Shadows?

A dark chill has descended upon these halls.... _closes window_

I just can' stop thinking about End Times and 40k in general when hearing that line, it's too perfect

Really is. He sounds so dejected, yet sarcastic.

go go gadget 15:10

They lost the key. They needed someone to pick the lock for them.

Tldr the hammers got locked out and needed a locksmith

Garrett is cheaper than a locksmith. Adventurers are great for that.

The treasure was inside them all along

@@jananilcolonoscopu4034 the real loot was the friends we ma

Wait

He didn´t say that

@@MandaloreGaming hey man! Love your videos! I was wondering what music was playing at 15:34? Also hope to see your videos for many years to come!

“You’re The Thief Deadly Shadows TM 2 GB torrent Thanks YiFi!

"What are we? Some kind of Theif: Deadly shadows?"

cover the dark mod over the reboot to make up for a missed game

That hurt our little gamer hearts😓

there is no reboot the reboot is a lie

I hate this attitude so much. At least make a short video that is mostly negative. Not acknowledging a game in such an explicit way is a spit in the face of all the people who actually loved it, as few as they might be.

@@sms1655 to be honest I did enjoy it...but i think mostly because I never played the original and didn't have the context for its history...that and I think I got it from a humble bundle so I didn't pay too much for it

Yo

You should find the streams he did of Mystery of the Druids with ShammyTV, he laughs a LOT in those videos

The only other time I know where he looses his shit is the Bladerunner game. :P

And another one on the Stronghold Crusader video, after seeing the size and location of a pride of lions.

@@gaychampagnesocialist7213 That was my absolute favorite, throwing California under the buss in that way *chief's kiss*

smart use of game mechanics ayyyy lmao

You can make the final boss slip off a flight of stairs and break their neck? Absolutely incredible

@@E_blanknamehere And that, my friend, is the magic of video games.

@@E_blanknamehere We need more videogames where the bosses can be killed in the most anticlimactic ways possible.

Feels like something I would do in D&D whether I was killing the BBEG or being him

That part killed me

"Must have been the wind playing tricks"

The entire city rising up to protect a thief/gardener and begin murdering supersoldiers is a great mechanic, all games need it.

I’m not joking btw, watchdogs would have been a 10/10 if the civilians actually helped instead of just saying you’re a good guy

@@AVerySexuallyDeviantOrange I imagine a mechanic like that working would be you get tagged by an enemy/multiplayer person and a civilian takes out a gun and shoots them for you

In self-therapy, you mean? xD

Patient: "No! I'd do anything to forget!" What do?

@@Albus_Rex blunt force trauma they did say "anything"

YES

Lol Lmao even It is creepy and awkward

The child looks like the reincarnated kid that the hag killed too Kinda make me wish a true sequel of thief 4. Instead we got...a total whack job of a reboot

It doesn’t work because the game has nothing to do with passing the torch, the next generation of keepers, or Garret’s relationship with mentors or father figures. The ending is like if at the end of Tremors there was a scene about Kevin Bacon teaching the annoying teenager how to empty a septic tank. It’s just not what THIS story should be closing on

@@sideways5153 is there a thief 4? didnt think so

@@TaliZVasTyria As a consolation Thief DS to Thief 4 is probably better than CNC3 to CNC4

That level was one of the first times I've genuinely been scared in a videogame.

That level was awesome, lighting and general ambience. The first portion as I explored I kept getting more and more creeped out from the lack of anything moving. Jumped out of my skin the moment the ghost girl's voice kicked in. I was actually happy to finally see an undead as it was a predictable threat to monitor and outfox.

I think that having an unpleasant experience is kind of the point, yeah. Having a level in any game that is maze-like and tedious makes you feel something, which is the point of a story. So feeling tedium and such in an asylum makes complete sense.

I've never been really scared by horror movies but I feel totally different about video games. Going into the Cradle not knowing what to expect was truly horrifying. It took me a month to get through the level, mostly because I just avoided playing.

Agreed. It was a long level yes, but it ...fit. The idea that you couldn't leave the Cradle scared the crap out of me. Knowing that it somehow had a hold of me, like a prison, was horrifying.

NYEH

NYEH HEH HEH

*Carl explodes* "Why did he do that?" "Why wouldn't he?"

"And cause mass panic" put me in mind of the "2007 Boston Mooninite panic" holy shit there's a wiki article about it

@@JimKandol Here on *the Moon* we have no worries about things exploding, primarily because Err would be the one exploding things and that's just a Tuesday. Which is every day. On *the Moon.*

@@jonathansotelo4877 "You guys sure like talking about the Moon." "Yes, Cup."

I like your pfp :3

Word!

I just replayed the first Dishonored and only now noticed how underwhelming its sound design is compared to the thief trilogy. You can't hear the footsteps and the overall ambience is kind of scarce. I'll get to the second game soon but my expectations in that regard are not high.

This would have been useful for my paythrough a couple weeks ago. Womp womp. There're a few things not explained such as how to cancel your bow shot, or apparently, how to insta-pick a lock.

You can also use WASD to aim the lockpick instantly, making it even quicker by a lot.

@@silentsod press escape when drawing bow. Also that solves the floating issue.

Most locks can be completed in mere seconds. I don't know how people miss this. Doesn't the tutorial tell you?

@@ThisBirdHasFlown Might be one of those things you just kinda miss. Reading comprehension can be a bitch even more so when your trying to read it all.

Also dropping from any altitude that causes you to make noise will also get you out of that stuck animation. (I think the height of 4 stairs)

Found that out today 😊 happened few times. One time I ended it but did not noticed how so I tried everything till my bow stopped it 😂

Gosh I remember getting a good jump out of that level..

Hotel level in Vampire was extremely boring. I don't understand why people get a raging boner over it

All of the Metro spider levels. All of em. I dont wanna be in australia pls

@@dupeken I thought it was pretty cool for the first time but it got extremely boring on replays, Grout's Mansion is peak game design tho

I just played that recently and nearly shit my fucking pants

I'm glad someone else found that funny lmao.

The guard banter in these games are always so good

Okei Poriphiron

Stimpee being employed as a guard for a while.

I'm the same way, that's why I would make a terrible guard.

Plus having apprentices help you extend your legacy past death

But the ending is exactly how thief 1 started.

That, and the bookends trope never ceases to amaze.

Well...actually I think it works in any part of town, but just once in game

​@@W4iteFlameUntil the port, I think if you die, you just die.

It’s funny how people think single people are capably of beating crowds. Video games and movies always teach us that the “special forces” dudes, rangers SEALS or “elite” ancient units are worth at least ten “normal” troops.

@@ViktoriousDead except that in this video they are getting beaten 1 on 1

@@ViktoriousDead also, while elite individuals can maybe take on several inferior fighters at once (2-3 at the very most), the main effectiveness of elite soldiers is how they work as a team. So an elite squad of SF or formation of elite warriors could, with sufficient preparation, theoretically take on many times their own.

I think the PC version was technically inferior in this respect. Because the XBOX version.. (Probably to actually save space) despawned most of the guards/NPCS and almost everything became Keepers and statues.

@@mickethegoblin7167 I was in 2nd ranger battalion. That’s not really how modern combat works but I get your point. Typically when you hit a target you want numerical superiority which you usually have on a point raid

same

Same here! To this day if I encounter somebody who insists on referring to themselves with a title, (like Doctor or Professor) I always hear in my head, "It wouldn't do to have anyone think he was just 'Julian'."

LORD... Julian

@@ourDreamcatcher Steven Russell is the man 😎

Lol me too

There is absolutely no continuity. Game 2 ended on the premise that Garrett returns to the Keepers and that a weird story unfolds. Fast forward to Thief 3: Nah, it'll be fine! Thief 3 is a SIGNIFICANT step down and the story is neither in continuity nor on par with The Dark Project or The Metal Age. The plot is rushed, makes no sense at several points and the references back to Thief 1 and Thief 2 are poor to non-existant. It's just a fuck up on so many levels and it was a mistake to make this game with a skeleton crew.

@@bobbwc7011 You were a mistake

@@bobbwc7011 Thief 3 follows the ending of thief 2; he's waiting on the keepers to finally let him read their books and hear their prophecies. Then they give him a couple of additional hoops to jump through. Thus the story begins. The plot is definitely not rushed; it's complex, and most of the characters are paranoid to the point they're obscuring even basic information from everyone. Unlike the previous two stories, it's a mystery - the behaviour of the pagans and hammers are red herrings, meant to make the player think that either party are a growing threat, as some characters do. But that's the point; they're actually just keeping each other in check. The keepers, on the other hand, have become lax, and have a serial killer in their midst - they're corrupted to the point that when they hear there's a brethren and betrayer, characters suspecting that it's referring to *their selves*.

​@bobbwc7011 ...Your opinion is bad, wrong, and you should feel bad.

@davidrgrech0 I’m your 200th like

this is the correct response

If we don't get a dishonored review i'll be pissed

I'm pretty sure the "no" part was directed for thief 2014

@@mateusz73 Yes, that's the joke that OP was making. You missed it.

@@mateusz73 I just finished that one, what a missed opportunity, occasional moments of brilliance just dragged down by messy design decisions and not enough freedom of path. Thief 2014 feels like a poor man's Dishonored rather than Thief.

not really, just bring the flash bombs that you had no reason to use in previous levels and the cradle becomes a joke

Ah shit, gonna have to install again lol

This game is worth playing just for that level. Also this blows the vtm hotel out of the water 200x.

That hotel stopped being scary when I realised the portraits would never stop plinking me; then I was too busy being annoyed, the kid going "Quit it!" when someone kept poking them.

@@lvsoad22 wait, what hotel we're talking about?

this. this happened to me, only that i didn't know i could cancel my shot.

When he said that I felt lucky to have played Deadly Shadows before Invisible War... I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have tried DS otherwise, and it surely helped me finish IW without completly loosing my sanity xD ...not to mention, today with mods and an ssd playing those two games is almost "fine", but at the time I discovered them they were just plagued with awfull loading times and compatibility issues...quite the nightmare, especially IW, the only good thing was how badly it was discouraging me from save scumming.

@@kevinjay4731 as much as DS is the black sheep of the trilogy, I refuse to call it a bad game, sure it’s got major issues but damn it’s great fun

​@@jafaral-z1090 Absolutly, I actually love that damn thing. I love the art style, the ambient, the story, the settings, the dialogues, the goofy ragdolls...I even love things that I think are bad. The only things I really dislike are the downgrades regarding some gameplay mechanics. But being able to get over it all and still enjoy this game is saying how good it is. But I surely can't say the same regarding Invisible War... oof that game was a piece of work to go through... That's why I said I would have never played DS had I played IW first...

Yeah, remember that Mandalore isn't infalible, I very much doubt he found 100% of the content in Dark Shadows if he thinks it in any way compares to Invisible War. I think, tbh, he kinda missed a LOT with this game. It's FAR better than Thief 1 and Thief 2, if only because it doesn't look so fucking horrible and run so horrible.

@@guypierson5754 it's just like... your opinion, dude..........

I've actually heard it before outside of the game. It's used in a song called "Boogie Man" by The Hellfreaks. Honestly it's kind of fitting and was surprised to hear it came from this.

For me, the most terrifying thing to hear in a female voice would be "A new hand touches the beacon".

@@StummerVogel Meridia is best girl though

@@supremacistdawn I would like Meridia to touch my beacon

@NEEDbacon same, I suddenly got some memory whiplash to the song. Wild how small things get connected like that.

in metal age there are the mechanists, not hammerites, a totally different fraction I believe.

​@@VeganCossack more of a sect that broke off from the hammerites which was caused by garrets multiple break ins and theft of holy artifacts.

Hammerites are already a part of Thief 1, the Mechanists are more of a focus in the second one, with the Pagans becoming your allies much like the Hammerites in the first.

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID!!!!

Well, he is the King of Limbo.

Mildly impressive its still turning up in reviews this much later

And so will The Mistery of the Droods

It Will Hunt us all..

They're evolving... Just backwards...

I am ok with standart, the "experimental" trash is the thing that makes a game unplayable cringefest. It's a risky for writer too. Most game stories written after the gameplay and maps designed so anything that can be "too creative" made look pretentious non-sensetical amateurish stories. Of course this is not the case in this game. I have no idea what any of the people who worked on this game actually thought.

@@erichzannbusoumuzan This reminds me of this long discredited theory about the evolution and extinction of ammonites. It seemed that throughout their history on earth the shells of shelled cephalopods looked mostly the same with little variation until the late mesozoic, when there was an explosion of unusually shaped ammonites followed by a sudden extinction. This led some to speculate, that the shells were too odd to be practical and that all shelled cephalopods except some nautiluses died off because they looked too stupid. Apparently at the time many scientists believed that, if a lineage of organisms survives too long, they start to degenerate and go extinct.

Everyone's reaction to playing Mass Effect 3

@@hannibalburgers477 In reminded of Mandalore's comment in F.E.A.R. review: "The genius behind F.E.A.R. is that the level designer and the AI designer were probably holding hands the whole time they were making it" And I think that's what story writers should be doing: work with designers so that story isn't stupid.

Thank god someone else noticed. It was a really sneaky one

Silent hill 2 review in the future?

I don't get it

@@jackstack2136 it's a reference to Silent Hill 2, where some cryptic graffiti on a wall tells you "There was a Hole here. It's gone now"

It was nothing but a cheap callback. Thief 3's story and plot overall sucks.

@@bobbwc7011 Why every time someone in this comment section mentions that Keeper Orland was in Thief 2 you respond with a pot shot against Deadly Shadows? Fuck off, will you?

@@ghgtare Thief 3 sucks ass. Deal with it.

@@bobbwc7011 I disagree. Thief 3 is the natural conclusion to the thief games as a complete allegory of human nature. Thief 1: The forces of raw, primal nature. The villain is an exaggeration of what Garret is, just like Mandy said. He wants to bring darkness and take away everything man has made. Thief 2: The forces of creation, structure, technology. The villain is an antithesis of Garret - Manipulative, vindictive, genocidal, vicious. He wants to create a world of emotionless machine slaves. Thief 3: The forces of balance, the arcane, the mysterious. The villain contains both elements of the Trickster and Karras. She is greedy, manipulative, vindictive and murderous, but she is also hungry for knowledge and immortality, with an army of stone minions. The plot of thief 3 is all about balance and how balance is a natural process in nature. It does not need the Keepers, it will find a way to restore itself. There was never any influence on the prophecies, no god, ancient magic or mechanical or stone army can stop the equilibrium.

@@bobbwc7011 Please point to me on this doll where Thief 3 hurt you.

Yeah, that's a very beautiful and original metaphor

@@bigwinz you get it

Considering how the music is in Deadly Shadows, it's very apt.

Is there an expected release date for the final version of the game?

@@KaneDesign When it's done™

@@Jesion-kv9tu it's by New Blood, I can forgive it.

I'm so excited to see where it goes

I tried the demo but it didn't really feel like Thief.

"You wouldn't download The Eye"

You wouldn’t blow the Horn.

In fact it would be better to do both sets of tasks as opposed to just one set as that keeps each on an even footing this keeping the balance.

In past games, you were enemies to both groups. The balance has been restored! :)

I disagree. I played Dark Project as the last part in the series (started with Metal Age) and I remeber almost nothing from it. The Trickster, and overall plot seems really generic compared the to later games. Meanwhile, I've replayed Deadly Shadows multiple times over the years, it's one of my favourite games (and I played a LOT of titles in my life), and the Hag reveal being "underwhelming" would be the last thing on my mind. Even seeing it here again made me feel it like "woah". The whole game breathes mystique, it oozes secrets, the whole audio-visual design is perfect here, the whispered conversations, silent and dark city, and all it's special, hidden places. And I love the design of the Hag, the creepy way she speaks, and how her animated servants talk, kinda reminds me of Metal Age machine talk. The game may have technical flaws, but taken as a whole, it's a very condensed, fun and deep experience, and definitely deserving of love.

I hate to break it to you, but thief 3 did exactly this as well. The only issue is that while you noticed the plants sprouting from the drink, you didn't notice the oddities from the thief 3 cutscenes. If you re-watch thief 3's cutscenes, keep an eye on the surroundings. It doesn't take long to realize Gamall is constantly surveilling them, with the statues moving to observe them. It isn't until a gargoyle holds a letter for Garret that he realises something is going on.

Sounds like how Ross Scott described the music in Invisible War.

We aint talking about it.

Technically Halo didn't do that? They just chose humans as successors. Or were forced to chose... Or others chose...

@@darthgiorgi4990 the first three games set them up to be humans. I think I prefer what their relationship with humanity currently is, but that seems to be a rare opinion

@@darthgiorgi4990 The first 3 games hinted at humans being the forerunners but then Halo 4 put a giant knife through the stomach of all that. Personally, I think that was for the better.

@@nothere1578 Kinda. Even then it was more about Humans being the ones that would inherit the mantle, but I think the games didn't clarify it as much.

@@darthgiorgi4990 Agreed. Regardless, the forerunners being non-human is all but set in stone for Halo now.

Sound like you don’t know what ominous means.

yeah , i feel like the trickster loses his trickster trait once he deceives Garret. For a trickster he didn't have more tricks under his sleeve. Even Karras was more aware of your presence and trhrew some curve balls at you by releasing more bots to places you were before in the last mission. But the trickster seems to ignore you are still alive and forgets about you even if you decimate half his monsters and destroy his portal. the dude is never aware of you even when he dies. wich deflates his previous build up.

Prey is the closest to a new System shock we will get without feeling like a rip off.

It's so nice to see others who remember that game. Makes me wonder if we ever fought on bungie.net back in the day.

@@henriklarssen1331 it does make the first two games look waaay better once I finally played it. 3 is good, but like Mandy said, in Thief's standard, it's pretty lacking. And oh, the Rope arrow. It's not until something is taken that one would appreciate it.

@@alvintollah I played them at release and several times after, i like Thief 3 more and more to be honest and nowdays i put all 3 together. They all have things which i liked about them and things which i dont like about them. And sometimes these things can change depending on my mood. I must say that i realy enjoy the atmosphere, sound and A.I in Thief 3. Sure it could be much better without all the werid stuff like thrid person and loading screens and limited level size, but thats mostly because of the console limitations and that was forced on the team by the publisher i think.

Ohmy. I got it for my 16th birthday and it wasn't easy lol

When Mandy started talking about the sound with this horrifying wailing of the ship zombies, so many nightmares came back to me in an instant

Second game I ever played was Chrono trigger. I'd mostly just load my older brothers game and fiddle around, before getting stuck in menus and inevitably accidentally deleting his game because I had no clue what buttons did. XD

Man, that sounds rough. Question though, did that make sneaking around the house at night more relaxing or scarier?

This was me with a burned Russian copy of Half Life my older brother got for me at school. When I'd get tired of waiting for him to play it for me I'd have to inch myself along the walls with the shotgun. Made me really good at Counter Strike. Can't imagine being that young with a game like this where your direct defense is so handicapped.

Someone's feeling a little blue... Nyeh heh heh

In Mandy's defense, Papyrus-the-font was chosen for Papyrus-the-skeleton because it's an infamously lame font. In Mandy's prosecution, he's spent enough time on the gaming parts of the web to know better.

@@JKozlovable Maybe you are an empath? If that is true - asylums and hospitals would make you anxious.

@@igorthelight Yeah, it is true. Hospitals and Asylums both make me anxious. And the ones on my country are just horrid. They weren't as terrible when I was a teenager. But nowadays they are so putrid that it has only reinforced my fear. Those are places where you go to die in my country. Not to recover. Abandoned ones feel worse for me than actual cemeteries. Cemeteries for me are places of peace and eternal rest. Abandoned hospitals and asylums instead are places of lingering pain and endless sorrow. Even operational ones... I can't really stand walking those halls. It feels utterly oppressive, and I can almost feel the dread leaking from each door unless I turn myself inward.
