Agent_KaryoThe devs plan to “double down” on the game’s “dynamic stealth gameplay” in turn.
KoboldCoterieAs someone who doesn’t enjoy PvP, but who did really enjoy the Thief games, this makes it infinitely more interesting, not less.
ZuluCouldn’t agree more. I just plain hide pvp-tagged games these days from steam/gmg/gog. Ive gone real hard on that stuff in the past and i just think i dont really have the same kind of happy fun i do compared to pve stuff.
RL is pvp, i dont need it in my escapism too x)
Yeah, this mirrors my feelings exactly. Coop is great, though; happy to see that included.
Same boat. But also feel like as an adult with limited time I don’t want to deal with others negativity. Nor do I in certain games have time to check in on my stuff regularly.

This is a huge part of it. When I was younger with no responsibilities and could tailor my schedule around a game, I enjoyed this stuff. Now? I don’t want to have to think about whatever game when I’m not actively playing it, and if I don’t play for a few days, I want to be able to return and find things as I left them. That philosophy is antithetical to many modern PvP games’ design philosophies, where they want you to be constantly thinking about it and emotionally invested in it.
Chess is PvP. Negativity is not a necessary part of competitive gaming.
Bad example.
You have a lot of socially negative chess games?
Always one guy who takes it too seriously.
socsaIts so good they nailed it perfectly the first time. How do you improve upon that which is already flawless?
Sure, but you know what I meant. Also as simple as having your short moment dedicated to gaming ruined by someone disconnecting etc. which applies to chess as well (online).
I took you to mean competitive gaming. Playing against humans is always going to be better if you want meaningful competition. I understand that you don’t, but you should also recognize that’s a huge part of gaming for a lot of people, and was (with a very small number of exceptions) literally the only way to play any game for thousands of years. The negativity that you refer to has more to do with playing against children than playing competitive games and that makes your criticism come off more like copium than a genuine reason.
There are a lot of adults that exhibit this behavior. I don’t deny other people their competitive experience, merely explaining why it’s not for me as I have grown older and have more responsibilities. Also not saying its universal.
But in general having only a small amount of time to dedicate towards something, the PvP / pub aspect certainly opens up for having your experience tarnished.
Also, if my “tone” came off as unpleasant that wasn’t my intention.
Acting like children are the only ones negatively affecting the online space is the true copium here.
Have you played The Dark Mod?
No! Wasn’t aware of it, but now that I am, I’m downloading it! Thanks for the heads up!
