DX2 was a good, solid game: it just was -not- Deus Ex, or in any way related: it was a Console-crossover title, and it showed.
Now, understand, I dont have -anything- against Consoles, I just dont like them, and I dont play them. Theyre fine games, which I just dont find entertaining, and to sum up the reason: its too damn simple.
DX you had a multitude of choices, and all of them forked out to others, and each worked equally well, when thought about. DX2 it was easier to shoot then to think.
Now, what does this seeminly unrelated comment have to do with Thief? Well, ION seems to need the console market to keep itself profitable, so, I'm not going to be buying this Thief game until I know it hasnt been Console-ified, like DX2.
