About Thief: The Dark Project

Thief is a first-person stealth game that likes the dark. You sneak through the ruins of haunted cathedrals, subterranean ruins, and forbidding prisons, in a dark and sinister city - heavily inspired by Steampunk and the Dark Ages. Garrett finds an ally in the shadows, as he steals for money and uncovers the hidden agendas of allies and enemies. The story that unravels is one of deception and revenge.

Yo también apagaba las luces, en el salón de mis padres, con miedo a que llegaran y me pillaran despierto.

Pues yo jugaba viendo a mi hermano avanzar, ¿tú también te frustrabas más mirando que jugando?

Puede que sí, mirar genera otra tensión distinta, pero se disfruta igual

Personne n'en parle jamais mais les quelques heures que j'y ai mises m'ont marqué plus que bien des jeux finis en entier.

Je me souviens d'avoir joué toute une soirée avec un ami qui me soufflait où me cacher derrière moi, on riait beaucoup plus qu'on avait peur d'ailleurs, qui d'autre a testé ça à deux

Claro, el sonido lo compensa todo, hasta el pathfinding roto, qué suerte tenemos.

Jugar acompañado no dice mucho del puesto, pero explica por qué tanta gente le tiene cariño.

On riait à deux devant l'écran, toi aussi tu jouais accompagné ou c'était plutôt du chacun sa manche entre potes?

Lo que hace este juego con el SONIDO todavía no lo iguala casi nadie en el género

LootLegend682

tal cual, el sonido es lo unico que ningun otro del genero a logrado copiar bien

Soy fan declarada, lo admito sin vergüenza, y esa sensación sonora es la razón exacta por la que sigo votando por él en cada duelo.

Lo que más valoro es que te obliga a pensar antes de actuar, cosa que pocos juegos actuales se atreven a pedir... y eso ya dice bastante de por qué sigue aquí
