2) I got all the good endings by taking a non-lethal approach.
3) I think the setting has ALOT of potential. Especially the Pandyssian continent (literally 95%+ of the known world).
4) It's still sitting on my desk waiting for another playthrough. Thing is, I don't think I want to. IDK why. The game was beautiful and the setting was really great..........just something I can't put my finger on.
With the hardcore mod it's a game of the gen contender. Splinter Cell and MGS are kinda dead in terms of good stealth gameplay and going the theif approach made it a pretty perfect game in my book.
Its a great homage to Thief while doing a lot of unique things on its own. Its not the longest game but I enjoyed it and the Daud DLC. Its the game that has left the biggest impression on me recently other than the STALKER series.
Still have to play it. I know it's good though. For some reason I started playing Rockstar's Bully. I got it very cheap as a DD and just started playing it and couldn't stop. F****** game!! When I finally stopped it was like 2am in the morning. Anyone else get pulled into a game and lose all track of time?
Really good if you play it with using stealth to kill people. Pure stealth in that game was too fucking easy, as your powers were OP for that. Otherwise game felt great, controlled very well, powers were fun to use, most missions had multiple solutions that were satisfying for the most part, and the worst thing the game really does on a gameplay level is make you too strong.
A lot of people don't like the universe in that game, because of it's predictable nature. Which to be fair is completely true, but at the same time, meh it's a videogame narrative. So shittyness is expected. Otherwise very good game, will gladly pay for a sequel.
But I want a game that for once makes all of its elements actually fun to play. Because both this and human revolution love the "play it the way you want" shit, and neither of them is actual fun to play if you don't play it a specific way. Going guns blazing in HR sucks because the game feels awkward for that, nevermind that pure stealth gets compromised because of some of the bosses. And this game made it way too easy to do pure stealth, and sneaking around isn't fun when you can get away with aggressive moves with almost no impunity.
I think its over-hyped and quite an average game. There are some huge holes in the design like being able to blink throughout the entire game. It negates the need to use any other powers. Some of the missions are broken like the party one, where the target walks away from everyone including the guards. Some missions, when there's only 9 of them, can be completed in like half an hour. Can we also talk about how poor the story and writing are?
The game was really, really great. The multiple gameplay paths it offered seemed really, really meaningful, although I went full stealth (and regretted I couldn't do certain things I imposed on myself). It was not without its faults, though. While the setting and the voice actors were really great, and it had an all-star cast, the game's lore wore thin around 60% in, and after that point, I became totally uninterested in the background story, and I beat last 2 levels just expecting it to end. Other than that, amazing game and while not perfect, still miles above anything else, and more games should go in this direction.
I enjoyed it. It does a good job of letting you play it the way you want (different ways of beating a mission, stealth vs shooting up the place, lethal vs. non lethal, etc.)
I disliked the morality system, though, since it works against the freedom the gameplay gives.
Great atmopshere, great lore, great gameplay, but absolutely nothing about the story or characters makes it worth investing time into.
To make an analogy: It's a bunch of stylish clothes and neat gadgets but the person wearing/wielding them has no personality. I tried for many hours to get interested in playing it, but it didn't "grab" me like some other games have.
I'd say it's worth no more than... well, it really isn't worth playing, to be quite honest.
I watched The Matrix just for the Action. I Guess I could try Dishonoured just for the gameplay.
You could, but there is little reason to press on when the story is just so boring. And it's not like you can avoid it by skipping cutscenes either, it's heavily integrated into the progression.
That game is from 2012. If you need someones opinion at this point in time then you seriously need to learn how to google or look up reviews because there is no shortage of them.
That's like asking a forum if they think jaws is a good movie because you cant decide if you want to watch it.
It was for like €7.5 on a Black Friday sale for Xbox! I didn't buy it, though as I finished it more or less upon its release, and I'm buying only games I've never played but wanted to badly, before I'm moving on to next-gen.
one of the best games i've played since Skyrim, i especially love how it gives the demeanor of your character totally up to you, it doesn't give a "mission failed" screen for getting spotted, i hate games like that.. on all my playthroughs so far including the dlc's i've played a blood thirsty psycho, killing everything breathing and sparing no one.. lol have yet to do a non lethal playthrough but i'll get around to it, i honestly can't get enough of this game, and currently using a save editor to mod my inventory which makes it twice as addicting.. ;)
Didn't like it. Didn't like the combat. Thought the game was easily manipulated, thought the blink stealth was kinda meh... Didn't like the universe. Can't explain it, just didn't like it.
Great game, lots of ways to get through levels and complete objectives. Reminded me of Deus Ex
I think the designer of the first Deus Ex designed this one. The game was pretty good. If you went for an all stealth play through some parts could get tedious. Especially if you decided not to use the super powers (I generally did. I mostly knocked people out). It took about 10 hours on the first play through for me. Second play through I murdered everyone (but abused blink heavily and supernatural abilities) and that took me about 1.5 hours with the "bad" ending.
