Okay

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Brace for a bunch of fanboy butthurt. "It's new, so it sucks" is in full play in this fandom.

There's a reason that fans of the previous games are pretty chafed, the game simply didn't hold up to expectation with regard to the changes in Garrett (his personality, motives, background), the City and its various factions, and the garbled mess that was the plotline.

As a stand alone game, I think Thief was alright. Not great, but not eye-gougingly terrible. But as a successor to the previous games? It was... bad. Really bad.

As far as butthurt, the only thing you're going to find is some behind the scenes sighing - though that's directed more towards the disappointment in the game itself rather that the player. Regardless of the opinions expressed in the canon thread below, I find it highly unlikely that players would avoid tagging a reboot!Garrett in game simply because they didn't care for his source canon.
