Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall DLC launches April 16

@highlanderjimd Actually it didn't get a lot of hype. A lot of game magazines had little to say on the game until it came out. According to the article above it was only the 4th best seller for the month so I wouldn't think there was a lot of "hype" surrounding it. It got modest reviews because people who played it with sheer force completed the game quickly so I wouldn't say it was overrated. It is, however, a great game for those of us who miss the old days of Thief, the original Assassin's Creed, and games where you actually have to stop and think rather than breathe through your mouth and mash buttons.

@highlanderjimd Well actually a lot of people including myself enjoyed it quite a lot. I thought it was great fun

@Toysoldier34 It won't be standalone.

@Duke_51 ur not missing much.

it really depends on how you play it, and that's where this game shines.  You can plow through it gutting everyone you meet and finish it rather quickly, but the story is darker and the gameplay is more challenging.  You can play through stealhily and non-lethally (which is what you're encouraged to do).  It takes longer, but the game plays out totally differently.  Or, of course, you may play with any combination of stealth action, its really up to you. I would say this is a 20 hour game or so, but you'll probably want to play through a couple of times to see the differences.

@marcheegsr idk my best guess is 6-8 hours, not a very long game and the story is predictable, but the gameplay is what is amazing.

@oldschoolvandal Yeah I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with DLC -- in fact I think it can be a very positive thing for a game if done well. The problem is of course (like zodiark said) day-1 DLC that should have been in the game to begin with, and DLC that is too expensive for what it offers.

But in a case like this, assuming you'd be paying 10-15 bucks for somewhere between 4-8 hours of content with a game that you like, that's pretty reasonable. Fans who wanted more will have the option to have more.

@oldschoolvandal I am against day 1 DLCs and overpriced ones, but I think it can be done right in some cases....

@vaillant085 The sell of the game only counts when you buy it new. Are you clueless? The only people that lose money when you return a game is the retailer, wake up!

@vaillant085 Actually, I kinda agree. I felt like I was done with the game by the time I got most of my powers. Maybe not new game plus but something where I could go through missions already having a wide array of abilities would be nice. They could just add new ones to keep choice and progression going.

@vaillant085 damn, the stupidity in this comment is overwhelming. 

@vaillant085 are you that clueless? THE BASIS OF THE GAME IS PROGRESSION AND CHOICE. You start with no abilities and then gradually get stronger. You are supposed to have to make choices because you can't ever have everything. New game plus goes completely against that idea and will never be part of the game.

@thereal-15-cent I'm going to take a stab and say that this is exactly how the DLC starts. The screenshot from above shows what looks like two men sneaking up to the spot where Corvo was meeting with Jessamine just before she was killed.
