Arkane Dishonored 2 - Emily and Corvo's Serkonan Vacation

[Multidirectional]

I missed the allegedly awesome gameplay so, it happens.

It wasn't awesome, it was an easy power fantasy. Nonetheless, it did give you a lot of fun toys to play around with and levels that are open enough to make that enjoyable. Not like we have that. many games of this type to choose from. If Dishonored 2 delivers at least that much again I'm sure some hipster chick being added to the writing team isn't gonna make much of a difference to me.

 

[Roguey]

Yeah, I don't know why people think Dishonored writing was any good to begin with, it had a pretty weak story and dialog, it was the enviromental storytelling that made it interesting.

It was intentionally Thief-y.

I also liked how the nonviolent solutions were a fate worse than death.

By the by, on the subject of Thief, I remember when Thief 2 added female guards because there were complaints about the lack of parity in the first one. Inconsequential stuff.

In other news, Dishonored: Definitive Edition for PS4/Xbone is out and it is literally the exact same game as the PS3/360 version, including glorious 30 frames per second.

NextGen as fuck!

Yeah, it's hard to believe that a pure jewel like Dishonored can be a Bethesda game. I wish they'd ditch their open world crap and focus on stealthers and maybe story-driven RPGs instead.

Ummm...It's not.

Try Arkane Studios.

Bethesda is the publisher. Not the dev team.

How is the first game 1-10?

It's like Baby's First Thief. Has good atmosphere but piss easy. Go lethal and enjoy killing people with all the wacky powers. It's arguably easier to ghost it.

How is the first game 1-10?

Base game 8,5/10, Brigmore Witches and Knife of Dunwall DLCs 9,5/10. Main problem is that the game is too easy and there are a few other issues but the DLCs fixed a lot of them.

It's closer to Deus Ex than Thief. Anyway it's not like Thief or Deus Ex are challenging.

Bullshit, according to RPG Watch, Dishonored is an RPG:

 

[Infinitron]

Couchpotato probably just posted that because he saw it on GameBanshee. The question is, why do they consider it an RPG.

 

[Crooked Bee]

I don't think they consider it an RPG. Like us, they tend to sometimes cover non-RPGs of merit, and personally I think that's a good thing.

 

[DawnrazorDCLXVI]

You're going to have to define the term 'RPG' anymore, as the genre has split seven directions from Sunday since the early 1990s.

If only arcane was working on prey 2 instead of dishonored

It won't be called Prey 2 but Arkane Austin definitely is working on this. It's not confirmed by Bethesda but it's heavily rumored Arkane is working on two projects. Dishonored 2 led by Harvey Smith in Lyon and the "Prey 2" project led by Raf Colantonio in Texas.
It will most likely be announced once Dishonored 2 is released in Spring 2016 and will release in late 2016.

I died more often in Deus Ex on highest diffuclty for sure. Headshots were lethal always.

 

[Naveen]

An excellent game, but like in Mass Effect 2, I finished the game without investing a single skill point (those whale runes). I think that says it all about the already minimal rpg elements it has, which are mostly upgrades to let you kill people in more amazing and hilarious ways. It's like upgrading your car in carmaggedon or something.

 

[potatojohn]

I'd rather have a sequel to Styx: Master of Shadows, a much better game.

Yeah or a sequel to Arcanum, as both games are totally alike.

Can you make your point without using grade school sarcasm?

 

[Siel]

Can you make your point without using grade school sarcasm?

Styx : Third person stealth only game
Dishonored : First person action game with stealth elements

Is it better or still too grade school for you?

 

[Morgoth]

Two Arkane projects in a single year? No way.

2017 at the earliest.
