Dishonored

[eldargal]

Dishonored is currently half price on Steam, does anyone know if it is any good? I know it had good reviews but I'd like to hear something from someone who has actually played it for fun.

[Learn2Eel]

I might be able to let you know tomorrow - I don't have it yet but I might pick it up soon - but a lot of people I've talked to/read their comments say it is great fun.
Supposed to be like Deus Ex and Thief.

[eldargal]

I love the Thief series...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

It's an amazing game, I loved my multiple playthroughs of it. It gets a serious recommendation from me. :)

[Deadlift]

My brother loved it, not played it myself but he also said its got great reply value too.

[eldargal]

Seems like it is well liked then. /purchased.:)

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Tasty!

[DarkLink]

I've heard it's pretty awesome, though it was mentioned that once you upgrade your Teleport skill high enough the game gets super-easy, as you can simply teleport past guards and the like without having to actually try.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Watch Birgirpall's video 'I broke Dishonored' and laugh your *** off.

[Fizzybubela]

My friend has it. He loves it but I think he said that the game is too short.

[Chronowraith]

I absolutely loved Dishonored. A very nice Steampunk-ish stealth game that is both challenging and interesting. The plot can be predictable at times but it's still fairly interesting, particularly if you find all the Insider shrines and read the books scattered around to learn more about the setting.

The game is pretty short. I don't keep track of hours but I finished it within the first week I bought it and I'm far from a hardcore gamer.

[eldargal]

Wish I'd checked that you could only play as a male character before I bought the game, grumble grumble. Still, it seems ok so far.

[eldargal]

Nearly finished my second playthrough, really glad I bought it now.:) Does anyone have the DLC, if so, is it worth getting?

[Kirsten]

only had one play through but I absolutely loved it, will have to have a high chaos play through at some point

[eldargal]

I just can't bring myself to do that, whenever I play a game with a good stealth system I always have to be the sneakiest I possibly can. Currently a couple of levels away from a playthrough with no alarms and no kills and incapacitating every guard on every map.:rolleyes:

I love the art collecting:

Hits my love of art and my obsession with collecting objet d'art in video games.:rolleyes:

[Kirsten]

well I have already done a low chaos play through and got the good ending, so I want to try going through killing all the villains. not hapless guard and the like, but thugs, bandits, fanatics etc.

[eldargal]

I think if you just kill targets and nasty people you still get a low chaos ending, you have to slaughter guards and so all sorts of nastiness to get a high chaos rating. But I could be wrong, I've not tried it myself.:)

[Kirsten]

I am willing to experiment with mass murder in the name of science.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

For Talos!

[Godless Zealot]

Still on my 'not sure about this' list. Maybe when it gets cheaper, is it essentially a steampunk Deus Ex?

[Kirsten]

I would say it is rather Thief where your objectives are people not loot

[Fizzybubela]

For Talos!
For Skyrim!

[Godless Zealot]

I would say it is rather Thief where your objectives are people not loot

Hmm that could still be good. Brings back memories been a long while since I last played a Thief game....

[Kirsten]

I love it, it is very different to anything else you can play at the moment, and worth playing for that alone, but on top of that it is also a fantastic game, some wonderful mechanics, lots of options.

[Godless Zealot]

Sounds like a buy then. :) Just got to finish Mass Effect trilogy, Far Cry 3 and Resi 6.... first world problems eh? :o

[Kirsten]

facry 3 was game of the year for me, I was a big fan of resi 4 and 5, 6 just hasn't interested me

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'm trying to get into Far Cry 3, I'm finding it hard.


As in, I'm finding it hard to like the game.

[Godless Zealot]

I'm enjoying Far Cry 3 but it definitely has a 'repetitive' feel towards it that reminds me of Assassin's Creed. The whole scaling the towers, knocking out the outposts then onto the sidequests before carrying on with the story etc. Resi 6 I'm only really playing in co-op as one of my friends begged me to and yeah it's a bit dull so far. Much more looking forward to Dead Space 3.....aww another game to buy and play....:o

[Phototoxin]

It was 'meh' It's like a bad ripoff of Thief.
You need to play 'good' or else the game doesn't like you.
Plots a *little* thin in places.
Addition of wierd supernatural anime style goon is plain out of whack and annoying with no real exploration of WHY/ Also you're not the only one.

[Uncle Nutsy]

I have a challenge for those of you who play Dishonored.

Kill a Tallboy and get away without being detected.

[Kirsten]

DmC and Dead Space 3, then Crysis 3, going to be epic

[Godless Zealot]

Never got into the DmC series but yes Dead Space 3, Crysis 3, GOW Judgment and GTAV this years line up for me so far.

[Kirsten]

not played the other dmc's, but the demo for ths one is awesome and I am a big fan of the anime. GOW will be interesting as well. Hated GTA4, very dull, so couldn't care less about 5.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I've played every Devil May Cry so far, love the series. I want to dress up as the new Dante, because he looks ace.


I've even completed them on "Dante Must Die" difficulty. :D


EDIT: Oh, and Heaven and Hell mode on DMC4, that was ridiculously stressful.

[Godless Zealot]

Played the first DmC way back when but never really been a fan of the hack 'n slash adventure type games, I might give the demo a try though. GTAIV story was certainly duller than previous games. Had countless hours of fun messing about in free roam with friends though. Hopefully GTAV will rectify what IV got wrong.

[Psychosplodge]

but it's going to have some sh!tty contrived storyline to make you play co-op, so you'll need to find two reliable people to play the campaign with or suffer the stupidity of bots...

[Godless Zealot]

Must of missed something? :p Which game are you referring to exactly?

[Psychosplodge]

GTA V, there's three main interchangeable characters, why else if not for a co-op mode??

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

:p

[Godless Zealot]

Regarding co-op campaign in GTAV:


It would be impossible to do that and keep the level of precision we've got in this. You could make a great co-op game, but we felt that we're doing other bits of our multiplayer that will fulfill those desires in ways we think are very fun.

Dan Houser, Rockstar Games

Looks like it's single player only. :)

[Psychosplodge]

We're going to make a mass effect game where your actions can make a real difference to the outcome of the game.

quotes mean nothing...

[Godless Zealot]

:D I guess....

Still think the main campaign will be single player only I think co-op would complicate it too much.

[Psychosplodge]

Though you might be right, they might have tried and not been able to implement it to their satisfaction...

[Godless Zealot]

Possibly, certainly there will be a co-op mode in the mulitplayer suite somewhere, just not sure it will be the main campaign.

[eldargal]

quotes mean nothing...

Except that is exactly what they did.:p ME3 also had more endings than the previous two ME games.

If by 'bad' you mean just like Thief with superior gameplay, superior graphics and produced by many of the same people, then yes. The plot is a little thin at points I'll grant you that, as for th game not liking you, no. If you act like a complete ******* other, nicer people don't like it. It's rather good.


I have a challenge for those of you who play Dishonored.

Kill a Tallboy and get away without being detected.

Easy. Lady Boyles Last Party, clear the patrolling guard that patrols near the Boyle house, get up on a nearby ledge or lamp post (I forget) wait for the tallboy to pass under and perform a drop assassination.:p You also get the achievement about killing a tallboy using only your sword.

[Psychosplodge]

Except that is exactly what they did.:p ME3 also had more endings than the previous two ME games.

Yes and the entire internet agrees with that reading of the endings in it's entirety :p

[eldargal]

Because the internet is always right?:p It sold millions of copies, a good proportion after th story controversy and it narrowly lost winning a recent peoples choice award for best video game.

[Psychosplodge]

Sales =/= quality or CODBLOPS is the best game ever...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Black Ops 2 is pretty cool actually. Raul Menendez is one of the most interesting villains I've seen in a game so far.

[eldargal]

Sales =/= quality or CODBLOPS is the best game ever...
Missing the point, it went on to sell extremely well AFTER the story was leaked and the fuss started, meaning it didn't impact on the sales and that most people probably enjoyed it perfectly well.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Well, people say that COD has a terrible storyline, they still buy the games.

[Psychosplodge]

Most people probably bought it cause they had the first two.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

That's why I bought it, and I do love Mass Effect.

yes, but did you remain undetected?

[eldargal]

Yep, sneak kill with no witnesses.

[Uncle Nutsy]

Very nice.

I didn't even bother taking out any of the other guards. I just got up where no one could see me and I executed every last tall boy there.

[eldargal]

Yeah I don't think it is necessary to kill the guards, I just wanted to err on the side of caution.
