Thief: Deadly Shadows Review
Thief Deadly Shadows was going to be called Thief 3, but they were worried about the Xbox so it's only technically the third game. Time for a Sneaky Upgrade!

Deadly Shadows on GOG - gog.la/ShaggyThisIsntThief Sneaky Upgrade - www.moddb.com/mods/thief-3-sneaky-upgrade Creative ALchemy for EAX - community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/28-creative-alchemy-universal/ THE LIST - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_K3ziSxT9zcUUGCddS4sF1uNJTWHSbOwB1CQX2Rx4Uo Might do the Dark Mod sometime later.
Homeworld: Deserts of kharak is not on THE LIST. Hopefully we get homeworld covered here soon.
Talking about the list, Subnautica got a "sequel" called Below Zero: same planet, slightly later chronologically, new cold mechanic, some related characters, main characters got nothing (I think? haven't fully played the EA right now). And Below Zero is almost out of early access (last update before breaking out). Good chance for dual feature.
What is the ending song?
mandy-kun there is a sequel on gen 7 and a fan made game too please review those as well
There was a comment here. It's gone now.
Arkane would do a great remake
Did you have any trouble with the brightness on Win10? The defaults are way too dark for me and I can't seem to get the brightness slider to actually change the brightness levels, even after patching
The Sneaky Upgrade reminded me a lot of DX2's Visible Upgrade. The interface, options, the names themselves. It was almost like a coincidence. Yes they are both made by the same person. What a madman.
Now to wait for the reboot
28:24 This triggers the Bleach fan
For some reason I really like the look of this game. The colors, and the way textures look are just pleasing to me for some reason. It reminds me of the things I like from Oblivion.
My favorite line, "No tiff taffin way"
are you going to play the fourth thief game
I gave up on blizzard and just about any gamedev that went 'we release a game in our series soley on mobile!'
Ion Storm - blaming console for their shortcomings and getting away with because most of my fellow pc gamers are morons. (other games on xbox or xbox/PC multiplats were able to do complex things that Ion claimed could not be done, only to later admit as much, but no one wanted to listen to THAT and just repeat lies)
Man I would watch my friend play this all the time. Right now I'm playing through a vr thief style game. Its decent but I have some critiques, I'm going to make a review on it after I'm done with it.
I think somebody on the team played a lot of N64 games, thought "console players love pushing their faces against every wall to find collectibles" and thus the inconsistent loot was created.
Theif 2014?
If you ever make a video on dishonored I'll take a day off work so I can make popcorn and watch it on the big screen. I love the thief games, but dishonored has a special place in my heart. Either way i love the videos and hope you're well
19:19 Actually when the animation gets stuck instead of reloading you can fix it by drawing and using your bow and then putting it away.
"The soundtrack is not memorable" Ekhem, what about the stonemarket ost?
Damn you still on thief games
imagine a remake faithful to the original thief...
Dude, your videos are like gold mine.
9:59 AI grapples with the pros and cons of walking straight into a wood support beam.
A page in the notes with just "heart" written on it? KUBOOOOOOOOO you've done it again.
Sum goemon at 15:20 cool
You know 'Shalebridge Cradle' is a great level when it has its own Wikipedia article.
when I got to the keeper enforcers part of the game the streets were just bare like everyone was to scared. I was also really young so when I got to the cradle I had to ask my dad to play the level for me.
Yeah, no, that ending is indeed both cheesy and rad
So negative, already had enough after two minutes in the video. Sure its your opinion and all but gosh I did not have any problem with 70% of what you are complaining about.
In regards to Shalebridge Cradle, looking back I think overstretching that level was not such a bad thing, since from the start I really wanted to get out of there, and more than few times it was like "just that and I'm done" but it wasn't done, and the dreadful desperation and fear that it will never end really amplified the horror feeling.
Does he not know the 2014 Theif?
heart.
29:30 THANK YOU HAHAHAHAHA!!! It aways gets me!
So the ultimate question what was the better thief game thief 3 or dishonored
What was 1:22
Keeper Orland was part of the group that dragged Garrett to listen to the prophecy on the metal age, so you've definitely seen and heard of him before.
sauce for 1:21 ?
are you jewish? you always use that yiddish music in your videos.
this game was too scary for me as a kid ;-;
Didn't know it had a 3rd person until now. Mind blown.
What is the high concept album on 1:20 ?
Anyone know the song at 1:20?
It really does seem like they were trying to make another Deus Ex game instead of another thief game. AI opponents fighting each other, different factions you can side with (sort of), increased focus on the ability to kill vs mercy, hubs with side missions and secrets you can find through exploration, and a tonne of text dumped around the map with lore about the game. Thief: Invisible War indeed...
Seriously Mando do you have my steam library cause 90% of your reviews are of games I have and played as well for the PS2 ones!!
Honestly the best games to do a delete knowledge of would have thought be story driven like mass effect 2 or maybe nier automata, however the endibg to 2017's prey was so good i often dream i could get that wtf moment they do both in the begining and the end
The panic in Mandelore's movement as the guard's voice rises in volume at the beginning is hilarious to me.
Has he mentioned if he’s going to cover the 2014 Thief? Wondering.
TDS is still a masterpiece if you compare it to the travesty that the new Eidos/Square Thief was.
Yo, is that papyrus undertale?
"Who else seen the hag say yeah!" - brilliant leprechaun reference!
Fish people
I love how powering the Cradle causes the passage from which you entered to close.
A fellow Call of Cthulhu fan?! EDIT: NO, NOT THE MODERN ONE!
I'm kinda shocked he didn't like the music - That's the best aspect of the game to me.
Nice
Yes, it wasn´t perfect at release, but the atmosphere sucked me right in. I remember that day i bought the game, started playing at noon, reached the asylum level at midnight....
What was the song that played when Mandy said high concept album?
"after some experimenting I found out they were meant for neither"
would you ever look at The Saboteur its one of them games that was good for the time be overlooked
i dont know why but i think you would maybe get a good video out of "koudelka" ps1 :)
Orland appears in Thief 2 but the VA is different.
Unpopular opinion incoming. Robbing the Cradle is the worst mission in the game.
15:10 "Dark times" joke
Kenshi
Okay weird question, what is that song you played after making fun of papyrus font, I can't find it anywhere and it dosen't sound terrible
Can you review Darkseed? That would be awesome!
Now that it's remake is out, I HAVE to suggest my favorite game of all time for The List. Geneforge. It's an isometric RPG in a custom setting. The primary gameplay gimmick is the ability to make new lifeforms to act as disposable pawns.
5:27 I see you Limbo of the Lost
Aah we're finally here, but I'm so happy. Fantastic work with this series. Was so much fun to revisit and listen to your perspective.
I know this is out of context but dude your review of StrongHold is great. Could you ever do Rise of Nations? Really a game of my childhood.
recently got into this channel and i admire that you prioritize genuine down-to-Earth honesty in your reviews above trying too hard to be quirky and funny, even though I find myself disagreeing with a lot of your takes. You should have a look at Cruelty Squad.
you should do a heavy gear review
HELLDIVERS
Bro you have to play cruelty squad
My God, what a good channel! Just found it today and you've reviewed a lot of my favourite classic old games! Gothic in particular! Well done mate!
We need a Garry's mod review
I Like Watching Your Thief Videos In A Bar Eating Beef And Rice. They Taste Good. And Thief's Good Too
Spoilees! The Cradle level scared the shit out of me, when I was cuaght in the "Cradle's memory" I was spooked, then went running towards a nearest door and shut it behind me, but a frigging huanted patient came on to me the momment I opened the door. I just wanted to get out from that place then.
Just found your channel yesterday and I love your breakdowns and gameplay. Especially the Dead Space series. Just thought I would make a recommendation for the BioShock series. Keep up the amazing work!
26:17 Unexpected Kung Pow. Truly you are a man of refined culture.
heart. (no heart.)
Oh my god, I just noticed you added the Woodgator to the flashbacks in the intro. I thought I was going insane for a second. Damn these videos are amazing.
They did bring it back, tho. The latest game in the series came out in 2014.
What a useless and stupid review...
If you havnt already you should do majesty 2 i love that game. Lol
Thief: Deadly Shadows was released before Doom 3 and looks better imo.
The virgin Enforcer VS the chad guardsman
It really hurts when you all speak of the fourth one in that way. I’m saying it as someone who has a deep connection with the first two games like with no others and considers them the best stealth games the world has ever known. Thief 2014 is not bad. Please :(
I rented this game 3x as a kid, and every time the game would freeze and crash when the first level started. I never got to play the game, so glad i could at least see it some now.
alright, what the fuck is the music video at 1:20. I've looked for those lyrics, but found nothing.
That moron Razorfist seems really butt hurt with you. He doesn't even deserve the attention, but the way he is seething is quite hilarious to see. Literally calls this the equivalent of reading a Wikipedia page. Some people were just born stupid
I recomend you reviewing the syberia games. Its the most nostalgic game for me and playing the 3rd game was so much fun even tho the controls were a little bit harder on the launch of the game
Regarding rope arrows being cut from the game, the developers couldn't make it work in the new engine. This is why they put in the wall climbing mechanism instead.
Ever thought about reviewing Rayman 2?
The frightened frightening full fumbling functional wallaby quickly satisfy because check splenomegaly wave qua a wry worm. same, stupid protest
3 games and they all needed fan patches, bruh.
"I SHALL FOUL THE BEAST!"
what is that at 1.20
That Hammerite at the beginning sounds like he definitely fucks.
“No...the answer is no and I don’t know what you’re talking about” A perfect answer to the unspoken question. But this feels like you're admitting that the Mystery of the Druids is a better game than "that which will not be talked about".
What’s the intro music/theme he used called?
you should do a review of harvester
