I consider THIEF more of a tactical thing more than I do a shooter. Shooter implies that there's lots of gunning going on when the most you really should do in that game is take out candles with a water arrow. Maybe a guard or two with the black jack but nothing more.

drunkymonkey, I love the suggestion you made lol The one with them in the dirt. However I don't see that happening as much as fans would like.

And Cindy, keep with Doom 3. A friend of mine hates shooters and she still bought it. She won't play it passed a certain time at night but she plays it lol. She gets freaked out by demons and stuff easily cause she's a big Christian. Wait till she gets to the Hell level [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think it's probably the best picture I've made.

I have Thief (I don't remember wichone tough) on Gamecube and I never finished it because the controls s...! You are talking about the Eido's game hein?

The Thief game you probably have is called Thief Deadly Shadows and yes it's by Eidos. I own it but I haven't gone through it yet but I have played the very first one on PC years ago. Thats the one that I was talking about that was scary towards the end.

Thats awesome that you are going through Doom 3. Keep at it cause it only gets better (and scarier) [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Right, I've made my final wanted pose. It's currently my favourite.

I don't want to talk about my computer... I bought it in 98... It's a shame... I can't play on it anymore... It is too old. That's why I have the 3 consoles.

That's ok. There are lots of good games that came out around 98. Half-Life 1 is one of them. And System Shock 2 can be downloaded for free on the internet now, will probably run on your computer, and is the only game to scare me to the point where I was afraid to go on (not even Doom 3 or FEAR are that scary). It's definatly worth checking out.

Are you planning to get any of the new consoles? They are shaping up to be pretty cool, but the PS3 seems like a big time rip off. $599 for the full featured one, no thanks . [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[drunkymonkey]

The original SiN is decent too.

I definitely agree with you on this one. System Shock 2 was definitely one of the scariest games! Well worth playing!

[drunkymonkey]

Holy crap, it can be downloaded? away I go!

BTW: Monkey Island is an excellent game to play too.

THIEF! I love that game!
when my mate first showed me Thief: The metal age I fell in love with it and bought a copy on the way home, he didn't see me again for like 3 weeks, same happened when deadly shadows came out, I loved playing it at night with my monitor as the only light source (The controls became a second language lol) and several parts did creep me out.

Heh, thanks Cindy [img]/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img], I'll swing by the forums some day and say hi.

I love thief too. On deadly shadows I couldn’t do the haunted level so I never got to finish it. I don’t know why that one freaked me out so much. I was thinking it would be cool to make a modern times thief type source mod some time.

I downloaded the more detailed skins for pretty well EVERYTHING in theif deadly shadows by John P. If you want it look up Thief John P. in Google. Should be the first link there. I downloaded the one with the ninja looking mask and the black everything. God... that makes for a whole new playing experince when you play in third person. It make you more excited to play as him rather than drone on through the game. Don't get me wrong, the game play is superior, but the models looked a touch bland and blocky.

System Shock 2. I didn't know it was up for free download. That kicks ass! Anyone have a link to it?

Speaking of scary games, I think that games such as System Shock 2 and Vampire: Bloodlines proves that it isn't graphics that make a game creepy as hell, its the way they make everything crawl under your skin. For me, Doom 3 was a walk in the park at night. Silent Hill 4: The Room, I REFUSED to play that after 9:30pm. I made the mistake of playing at midnight one night... Didn't get any sleep that night. But I think that things popping out at you are no longer scary. With modern day 'horror' movies you expect things to pop out making them much, much worse to watch because it feels dull. But a true horror flick will get under your skin and let it sit there, waiting for the moment that you finally notice that little bump in your skin and watch it start to grow. I think that's what made System Shock 2 such a success. The graphics weren't much to speak of, well, in its day yeah, marvelous. But it really dug under you and slowly crawled around.

Anyway, just as a matter of games that are rare/hardly known; Anachronox. By far one of the better sci-fi games I've ever played. If not, then at least in the RPG catagory. Its witty and inventive. Sly Boots it my anti-hero ideal lol To anyone who's played the game, you know why.

Grove, you're aware of the System Shock 2 Rebirth model pack and SHTUP texture packs right? Add those and you've got yourself improved graphics [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[Gokshano]

Oh, trust me, I have them. And the high def videos too. Its a great game, not nocking it. Just want to see it completely reworked graphics wise.

Heard of Bioshock? That's the spiritual sequel.

Check it out, promises to be one of the best games ever.

[Sin_Jessica]

Yes... I have finished the 2 first Metal Gear. Twin Snakes and the other one. For Prince of Persia, I've finished the first version Sand of times, but I only played the second 15 minutes. I could stand the music and the stupid prince's screem when he fight. I have the 3 one and I plan to play it.

Kaoscorp, I don't understand why you like Thief Deadly Shadows! The controls are not good, ans I wasn't afraid at all... I stoped playing with that game after a while. Maybe I'll try to finish it, now that you guys made me remember the existence of this game...

I'm still playing Doom 3, and it scares the sh.. out of me!!! God damned! I'll dye of a hard atack before the and! I'm not use to FPS ans when the lights turn of and I have to use the flashligths ans then quickly switch with the weapon... I' all confused because I'm stressed! Yesterday I played, and there was that mutant dog attacking me... I screamed and mMy boyfriend started laughing... [img]/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Good game!

[Sin_Jessica]

I have a PS2, a Xbox and a Gamecube... I'll probably buy a PS3 or the Wii, but I'll wait for the price to low.

Curious; how do you get it so you have "Use File Name" clicked...? All the install things tell me to do that but I can't find it.

[TheNielo]

My first post around here so Hello People!

Well first off i like to say im amazed the real "game charaters" are replying on this forum, never seen that before [img]/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
think alot of us players appreciate that.

And Cindy ive seen you posting you find the FPS-genre difficult to play but i think thats mostly because u play them on consoles (from what i read), well at least thats my oppinion.

Think ill keep posting around here

-Nielo

P.S. Awesome game!!! Can't wait for more [img]/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I loved Sands of time, the second one didn't really appeal to me so I never got round to playing it, now the third I heard was a mix between the 2 so I bought it, got about halfway through and gave up (Got sooo pissed off at the second boss)

The console version had really fiddly controls so I swapped it for the PC version, ran smoothly and I was used to the PC controls. Not afraid? Maybe you haven't played it enough, when you get onto the later levels you're being hunted down by some weird death dealer dudes (I forgot their actual name)

Please don't [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img], I'm not sure many of us could live with that lol
but yea Doom 3 was quite scary, I find the process of switching between your flashlight and gun annoying but I guess it makes it realistic.

Except I'd probibly find some duct tape and tape it onto my gun....

But yeh, its creapy... I don't think I made it past Delta Labs on the PC version... But thats because I formatted, and lost my saves....

Good game!

Glad you're enjoying Doom 3 (I've always preferred it over HL2 :P). Now, once you've finished it go and play Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil. Now THAT is one hell of an expansion (sorry for the pun [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]).

Grove, what program are you using? WinZIP, Powerarchiver?

Okay, so it means take the file and put them into a .cgf (I believe that's the extention.) file? I thought it was refering to a game setting or something. Anyway, thanks. I get it now. A question answered my question.

[gamejunkie]

You know you have to extract them to the root folder right?
