    I can't decide.... for some reason I haven't been able to get excited about Thief even though the premise seems right up my alley (and I never got a chance to play the original Thiefs as I don't have a WIndows machine and I know I thought they sounded really
    awesome when I heard about them).

    Some of the trailer does have me interested (The ability to play the whole game without killing people, I don't think I"ll be that snazzy but I like that they will give me a chance to try) but I just can't get excited.

    I hate to say it but I think it's shallow reasons. I don't like the world design and I really don't like the design of the character you are playing.

    On the other hand if it is a true stealth game (unlike AC) I could totally go for it. I don't mind that you can kill people, I actually like that there is that option as well (But I want it to have good stealth mechanics and a chance to try to play stealthily
    first and only have to resort to that if I fail... and the trailer also mentions you can be a ghost if you want so I'm assuming it will give you a chance to always be stealthy).

    But the trailer does have me more interested at least. But since I have a huge backlog (just got Metro Last LIght and working on Dragon's Dogma after having finished Witcher 2 <- which was a lot shorter than I expected) I think I'll probably wait til it gets
    cheaper and also I can read reviews on it.

    Looks like a great game with a lot of potential. Never played the original and may opt on this one, not into stealthy games unfortunately.

    I ended up preordering a limited edition with a metal case that comes with the bank heist-extra mission (apparently Amazon also sells versions without this). The pricing was still the same as for the normal version though.

    It's weird how in the UK the games are cheaper than in germany for example. I've bought all my disc based games from Amazon UK now, from germany (or xbox store or a local retailer) I would end up paying like 70€, whereas after conversions the UK games end
    up at like 55€ with free shipping, whereas I'd likely have to pay extra for shipping from germany too.

    It's not really a problem though, I'm busy enough of a family man to be able to wait that week for the game to arrive by mail, at least I save a decent amount and with some luck I might be able to sell the game in Finland for almost the same price I paid
    for it, cos the prices outside UK seem to be so much higher.

    I'm not sure if I'll be getting the game myself, but it certainly looks intriguing to me to say the least. Like Cloud above, I never played the original, but I would constantly hear about how great it was from my older brother back in the day.

    I like the concept of choice the game offers. Should I kill him or should I avoid him entirely? It makes the game dynamic and interesting & gives you more incentive to play the game through twice.

    One thing I'd like to mention is that I find the face of the main character, Garret, to be rather quite ugly. Nowadays, most characters have some sort of ideal look - the fact that Garret stands out by simply not following that mold is something I find interesting.
    After all, being a thief isn't exactly glamorous - besides, if you're hidden in the shadows, you won't be needing a pretty mug. ;)

    Yes you did, I believe the game has had em from the start, not 100% sure on the first game, but at least Thief 2 already had em.

    See iv always said lloydy is a troll and always makes arguments and changes the topic and I believe that's a bannable offence cloud...... As for the topic in hand I got no idea about this game in watched the video and liked it but what sort of enemy is there
    in it

    I have this game paid off and ready for pick on release.

    I am so excited I am taking the day off. I try not to judge a game before it's in my hands. And the past thief titles were pretty memorable.

    Let's hope this one does not disappoint.

    I'm like you, try not to judge something before I've actually got it but I'll never forget the enjoyment I had with the original all them years back and with that in mind I can't stop myself getting hyped for this.
