Burglin' the first five houses in Greenview in this stealth video game released for the PlayStation 4, Thief Simulator.
In this first part I'm playing in a way specifically optimised to gain the largest amount of XP quickly in the fewest amount of trips to rush that Backpack lvl 2 upgrade, so I can steal more per trip.
I'm going to be stealing as much as possible each trip, but I'm only returning to previously looted houses for BlackBay items, special loot, missions and on one occasion a safe. And once at the start of this video, when I revisit 110 for the pots and pans in there because I needed the money.
Wondering if you should buy the game, too? Well, it does have a couple of issues, such as:
- No graphics options at all
- Only one profile (at least on console)
- Only one autosave, no manual saves
- The one autosave doesn't always save
- NPCs see through solid objects
- NPCs don't see or hear you at all
- Non-existant house owners in 109 and 110 hear you
- NPCs following a wrong routine
- NPCs breaking routine randomly for a moment to come to you
- NPC pathing making them phase through walls
- NPCs getting stuck in one place for up to a day
- Animations, even in the rare cutscenes, not playing correctly
- Items randomly missing
- Items in drawers get stuck
- Items cannot be picked up
- Items disappear from inventory
- Items disappear when dropped on the ground
- Storage can't be opened with certain items in inventory
- Hideout wallpaper is never saved
- Police gets randomly called infinitely when no burglary has even occurred
- Police gets called when driving car in certain spots offroad
- Police gets called because locked doors are loaded open/left open by NPCs
- Camera spots you where no camera can actually see you
- Switching tabs on PC before closing the text box in Rent-a-Thug tutorial softlocks game
- Breaking dishes in 110 before accepting the mission softlocks game
- Game crashes reliably, especially after hacking server in 303
- Game never ever, EVER..
