omg, you guys, i just heard that warren spector's new game, thick as thieves, is getting a major overhaul. like, i was super hyped when i first heard about it - a multiplayer immersive sim where you're all trying to pull off the same heist at the same time? yes please. but now, it looks like they're ditching the pvpve aspect altogether and focusing on solo and co-op play instead.

i guess what i'm hoping for now is that the stealth gameplay is really as good as they say it is. if they can nail that, then maybe this change won't be so bad after all. but a part of me is still mourning the loss ofRead more: Full article on www.rockpapershotgun.com
