[quote name="FABIO"]that Thief 1 was the only "pure" stealth game to get it right. Even then it only worked back then because we hadn't figured out how exploitable the whole thing was. Try playing it now and it becomes some stripped down Hexxen game of 1st person sword combat. Psi-ops and BG&E give you the whole experience while being ten thousand times more fun, and <i>they</i> don't bombard you with conversations pointing out how Japanese things are superior to everything else. Snake is now Senor Barborito, constantly going into overly long speeches about gun mechanics and shooting techniques just so he can sound smart and impress people enough to make them go, "Wow! I'm impressed!" You literally get a one minute long rundown from him about all the modifications done to his pistol (wow!). The setup on how this gun is the greatest thing ever made is so over the top I could have sworn they were going to reveal that it was made in Japan.[/quote]
