No country for old thieves

Description

Garrett (from the Thief-trilogy) and Zaya (From its unofficial expansion Shadows of the Metal Age) sitting in silence. Disappointed. No franchise deserves to go through the license cash-in routine of having a terrible unrelated product plastered with random names and half-implemented concepts from the franchise, in a vain attempt to capture the attention of the fans. The things that NuThief didn't ruin can be counted with one hand. If you haven't bought the game yet, please don't. Don't contribute to the decline of the industry. Don't support a direction that is obviously the wrong one. I didn't. I guess Eidos Montréal is continuing the tradition of Ion Storm, where one fantastic game is always complemented with one horrendous one.

Oh, about this drawing... I don't like it. My advice is... don't try to mishmash Paint with Photoshop. The result is always sub-par. It doesn't look enough like Paint to bring out that distinct style, and it isn't an impressive Photoshop piece either. Kinda like NuThief, which isn't enough like the old Thief games to be actually good, but it also was marketed as a Thief-game to an audience that isn't interested, so it wasn't succesful. Everyone loses. I promise, the next piece I do won't be like that. :)

Oh, and did you know that if one draws the Moon in a realistic size on a 1920x1080 drawing, it's only 9 pixels in diameter?

man how do I hate the new thief. on it's own it's an oke game, but as a new addition to the thief series....thief 4 is insulting to the material and fans of the original games. the more I play the original ones the more the new one offends me. for so many reasons. mainly what they did to Garrett and what the fans now do to the character.
despite the popular opinion that thief 3 is not so good as the first 2, in my opinion that one was faithful to the first 2 and actually felt like a thief game and they tried to improve and add new ideas and keep the ones that worked. they even dragged the lead designers of Looking glass studios to work on the game.  

btw I haven't played the unofficial expansion yet but I'm very interested in doing so.
