I'm worried that the Thiefs (Thieves?) are in that "you had to be there" category of games that are tough to get into if you're playing them for the first time, years after they came out. Like Deus Ex or System Shock 2.

Is it worth risking two Canadian dollars to find out if I'll enjoy them?

Deus Ex and Thief have both aged better than System Shock 2.

Thief 1 yes, thief 2 no. T2 is literally the best stealth game of all time and the light gem system was so good that everyone basically copies it now. Apart from the graphics it feels super modern tbh

you're asking if it's worth dropping two bucks to play what are considered two of the best stealth games ever made

So, EA, Activision, Disney and Wargaming have all said that they won't have booths at E3 this year. Gonna be an interesting show this year if this trend keeps up.

maybe it'll be like that couple of years where e3 tried to downscale to a smaller show and then it backfired and they ended bringing back the old e3s.

as far as the reasons: ea has said that they're going to run their own event at club nokia in june instead of going to e3.

activision didn't give a reason, but some of the other companies are focusing on smaller events that are open to the public to bring in youtubers and streamers it sounds like.

They're still bad for presenting unrepresentative footage of their products on a national stage and getting a bunch of rubes to buy into it. Or whatever the gently caress Shenmue 3 was.

I had friends unironically saying that Bethesda had the best stage show last E3 because they showed off yet another buggy slapdash open world fps thing, one of the worst (and from what I hear unrepresentative) trailers they possible could've for Doom, some new card game and a trailer for their dying MMO that was already out.
