I was just playing normally and always looking for secret areas, but until the Asylum... I just creepy as hell. I quickly stopped playing it after less then 2 minutes into the level. I really want to finish the level and the story but dam. It scares me to hell. I don't play horror games, but I think the closes thriller game I played was HF2 and its Episodes. Also I search up online about the creepy Asylum level. There was mention of a dark lady.... I didn't see one yet, but now after knowing about. All the more I am scared to continue. I bought Thief when it was on sale for 80% from Steam a few days ago and started playing 2 days after I bought it. Since my download speed is real slow.

I overclocked my card and I'm only at 6GHz effective memory clock, the temperatures tell me it's okay to go further, but I'm not sure if that's the only factor that would determine if the card can break or not. I want to aim for about 6.4GHz, I notice no artefacts and have no crashes for the whole duration that I overclocked the memory clock up to +600MHz, so it is stable for now. This screenshots show you my GPU while playing Thief. This is my overclock config. I'd like to know if I can go further or not and how can I tell when it's time to go back if it comes to it.

Hi everyone, I recently installed Thief and wanted to use mantle but the tick box was greyed out. I have done updates for my GPU and AMD catalyst control centre, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem before. I have an R9 270 with a core2 duo E7400 and 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM. I'd like to use mantle since I get quite a few dropped frames due to bottlenecking (real bottlenecking, GPU is running at around 80% and in the more demanding areas around 70%). Any help would be great
-
As the title suggests i'm trying to get Mantle to work ok with my crossfired 280x's. I am using Thief which does have the Mantle and Mantle Crossfire settings, however when i enable "Mantle" and "Mantle Crossfire" and try to run the game it opens then just immediately closes. I then tried turning off "Mantle Crossfire" leaving just "Mantle" enabled. That also does the same thing. I have tried: Completely removing the AMD drivers and downgrading to earlier versions Completely removing and reinstalling Reviewing Crossfire settings Googling for answers This warning appears in the event viewer when i try and run Thief: Unfortunately nothing came up trumps, any ideas?

I'm doing some AMD Mantle benchmarking on my PC (low end PC when compaired to the US/CA/DE/GB standard). If there are a lot of interested people here on the forum, I could share the results here in a new thread (in a highly professional manner, not some random mumbo-jumbo), if there aren't I will not bother (time is precious, have other things to do like earning for a living). In short, the PC is a Phenom II 945 with 5GB of DDR2 ram and a Radeon HD 7770 1GB with Windows 8.1 x64, and the games/benchmarks I am using are Thief (2014), Battlefield 4 and Star Swarm. The results are low/avg/max framerate and some frame time / latency graphs. Not to bother you any longer, just tell me if you're interested. Thanks.

I just finished the main story of Thief, and I wanted to post what I thought about it and why I think It deserves better scores from the critics. Don't worry, this is spoiler free. Let me get into a little back story first.. When I first heard about Thief, I was not interested in it at all. After I seen some gameplay, I still was not that interested. I figured I would wait for reviews and for the game to go on sale. It wasn't until about a week before the game came out I watched a 45 min video of gameplay while one of the head developers (unsure of his name) talked about the game. Right after the video I preordered it on steam. Here is that video if anyone wants to see it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MefdILzzRvc After watching this gameplay footage, I literally just thought this game looked amazing. I like stealth action games because I'm in love with that kind of play style and they are different from everything else. Also, the fact that it is in 1st person makes it different than other stealth action games like Splintercell and Metal Gear Solid. When I first started the game I was immediately impressed with the graphics of Thief (which is hard to do, I'm not impressed easily) The detail of the textures, shadows, water and pretty much everything all look great. Not the best graphics I've ever seen, but they are better than A LOT of games I've played recently. In the Prologue mission you learn the controls and it gives you tutorials on how to be a Thief pretty much. Also, the prologue mission does a fantastic job of making the player feel like a master Thief, and that feeling continues throughout the entire game. You get access to a lot of tools to aid you in your missions, and you get many different types of arrows for your bow. Each type of arrow is used in different situations. I chose to be a true "Thief" throughout the game and I didn't kill anyone, so I found that the water arrows (used for putting out fires to create darkness) and rope arrows (creates a rope that you can use climb up in certain areas) were the most useful. Moving around with Garret is very smooth, and you get a lot of control with him. Peaking around walls, sneaking from shadow to shadow is very fun. Sneaking past guards without getting seen is very satisfying. However, there will be times you will get spotted and if you keep getting spotted over and over again the game can get frustrating. When you find yourself getting caught in the same place a few times, it is always a good idea to try another route. There are multiple routes to your objective in every mission, so it's always best to look around your area to find your preferred way. Along your journey you will find TONS of loot to steal. On the ground, on desks, in safes, behind paintings, on people. Everywhere you look there is something to steal. It is really fun to just wipe an entire house clean of all it's valuables. If you choose to search the entire chapter and try to find all the loot, it will consume a large amount of time. Then after the mission, it will tell you a percentage on how much loot you stole. On one mission, the game told me I spent 1 hour and 25 minutes only to find 77% of the items. And I could of swore I checked every nook and cranny. There is a lot of replay value in this game. On top of the main missions, there is a large number of side missions you can do. And even if you happen to complete the game 100% (finding all loot, completing all side missions) there is challenge mode (with leaderboards) It took me 12 hours to complete the main story (I probably got about 50% of the loot along the way) and I didn't even touch the side missions yet. Each mission is different from the rest, there are a lot of similarities, but you always have a different objective. Some chapters are COMPLETELY different and at times it feel like a different game. Thief has AMAZING sound. You have to be careful what you step on, because some surfaces are noisier than others. But the best part about the sound is the music. I noticed each mission has different music playing while your snaking around. Also, there is a different music that plays when you alert a guard and different music again when you get spotted. I have to admit, I loved the music they used for each situation. It's hard to explain in text, but I really feel like the music sets the mood for the game and at times I just sat there enjoying it. So after reading this you know that the game has... Great graphics Great gameplay Great sound/ music Good replay value So why did this game set average score from the critics? The story line. Sometimes it's fantastic, at times it's meh. Overall, I think the game has an average story line. It didn't leave me with a lasting impression, and this is why it got average scores from the critics. I believe the critics rate games too much on the story line and not enough on the actual gameplay. Yes, a good story line is important, and sometimes it is the best feature of a game (EX: The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite). The Last of us is the absolutely the best story line I've even seen in a game and that is why it got numerous game of the year awards, same with Bioshock infinite. Sometimes I buy a game just for the story line, but when that happens I play though the game once, witness the story line, and never play it again, it happened when I completed both bioshock infinite and The Last of us. But with Thief, I WANT to play it again because of the gameplay. It's awesome. In my opinion, Thief has better graphics / gameplay and is WAY more fun than the other two games I mentioned. But like I said, it gets a lower score because i think critics rate games TOO much on story and not enough on the other features. Which kinda sucks because Thief deserves a slightly better score from all the critics. I bought Thief because the gameplay looked really fun. I didn't buy thief for the story. So I am not disappointed with my purchase, and I highly encourage people to watch some game play of the game, if it look fun to you buy it, if it's not your kind of game or if you wanted an outstanding story, then it's best to pass. I'm a firm believer of ignoring reviews, people should realize that the review is written by someone else and not everyone thinks the same thing about every game. Buy what YOU think is a good game, not what someone else says. That being said I would give thief a 8.5/10 because it's very fun and it gets points taken off because of an average story line. (slightly better than the some of the critics) PC gamer gave it a 79/100, Game informer gave it a 8/10, IGN gave it a 6.8/10 (which is ridiculously wrong) I can agree with Game Informer and PC Gamer, but IGN is way off. I'm not the only one who thinks that, just read the comments about the IGN reveiw. here.... http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/24/thief-review If you looked at the 6.8 IGN score and decided not to buy the game, I recommend reconsidering your decision. I tied to provide as much detail into this as I could, Spelling and grammar mistakes are probably all over this because I didn't go back and read this. I apologize in advance. I hoped you enjoyed this, I am more than happy to answer any questions or concerns about the game. Which reminds me, I didn't run into any glitches while in game. However, right now it is impossible to view the Thief achievements in Steam, and the game strangely does not appear in anyone's recently played list. I'm sure Steam will fix these annoyances very soon.

I just finished the game and I gotta say it's really good.I haven't played the original titles,so my perspective is from a newcomer to the series and I'm not a hardcore gamer either. First of all,the plot and the story were awesome.It's boring in the begining(Prolouge and Chapter 1 to 2,it gets interesting from chapter 3),but it evolves very nicely.The ending is very ambiguous though,and I think few people got it.But,after I thought about it for some time,I just realized how awesome it actually is(spoiler below).Now that I understand it, I like it more than Infinite's ending. The game starts at sunset and Erin dying because Garret did not trust her enough to let her use her hook to save herself. The entire game takes place mostly at night and is filled with dream-like uncertainty. Slowly turning from the hallucinations of a tired mind to full blown nightmares. The game ends with Erin falling and Garret being the only thing literally holding her away from death. This time he unlocks the book and frees Erin from her primal spirit and trusts her enough to pull herself back up when he finally tosses her the hook,but you aren't shown if she catches it or not. Garret passes out once more, finally leaving fate to chance and not intervening.That's what a lot of people will get out of the ending and they would think "Is this game really that bad it has such a shitty ending?". But,when Garret wakes up,you can see Erin's footprints(she wasn't wearing any shoes),and the claw in a wall.Is she alive? Is she dead and he's hallucinating? It doesn't matter, she is free now. The last shot in the game is of Garret looking out over the front of the Ark and into the sunrise. The dark night is finally over. When I realized this,I was amazed game developers could think of such an ending,but they're French so I guess that explains why.It's so literary... I,myself, read a lot of philosophical books and such,and that's why I think I got it. I must also say that it looks very nice.The graphics are good and the houses are well-designed.As far as level design goes,it's good but not extraordinary.The game is open-world,but it feels restricted,There's alot of doors you can't go through and such.Still,the freedom of choosing how to go through a level is yours,however,some of them are quite obvious.Kinda linear. The gameplay is good,too.I'm not a huge fan of stealth games,but I enjoyed it,not as much as Dishonored's though.The game doesn't want you to fight enemies,and that's made obvious.You don't have a sword,you're very easy to kill,and fighting doesn't feel rewarding,and I think it's a good thing because this is a stealth game after all.You have the freedom of choice,and that's a plus.Movement is very fluid,I totally loved moving around and such.I think this is one of the most immersive games I've played.The 1st person view really makes you fell you're in the world.Oh,and it's a game in which I can finally see the protagonist's feet!I don't understand why in so many 1st person games you look down and see the ground...There's some sidequests,but they're kinda linear.One thing I didn't understand why you have to steal stuff.The only thing you can buy in the game are arrows and some perks. Another great thing about it is that you can finely tune the difficulty settings for a big challenge,like dying when you get spotted,disabling focus,etc. The game is organized in 9 chapters.The first 2 are boring,things get a little interesting in the 3rd.4th is good.In the 5th chapter you are mindfucked and that's all I'm gonna say about it. In conclusion,I had been waiting for this game and it certainly didn't disappoint.I wasn't expecting such an amazing story.It's definitely a change from the original titles.
