Zacky, you now see why I avoid gaming forums and other...conglomerations altogether. They start out nice, lots of decent people talking about things they enjoy like regular bloody humans. Then, you get a few loud assholes, who attract other loud assholes, eventually leading to the board either going into a state of constant war, or becoming a vocal echo chamber of sheer idiocy, fury, and many times, disgusting pompousness.
Honestly, I think this reboot of Thief looks fairly promising. Yeah, it looks modernized, but that happens. Modern doesn't mean bad, and with as long as this has been in development...well, lemme put it like this: Guild Wars 2 took an inordinate amount of time to develop. Some launch bugs and such aside, on release, the game was (and still is) absolutely phenomenal, and very well worth both the money and the wait. I shall remain cautiously optimistic about this, because this has the potential to be absolutely amazing.
