Let's be honest. This was the game of the conference and literally everyone knows it.
It looked good, but not amazing.
>>341302654
Nope. Go away Todd.
>>341302762
Fuck off, that was the first time I had no complaints about a game's gameplay whatsoever.
>>341302654
That game looked boring as fuck. I don't even know anything about the first dishonored and this hasn't given me any reason to care
>>341303126
>that was the first time I had no complaints about a game's gameplay whatsoever.
Fuck off shill.
>>341303532
>le shill boogeyman
Why is /v/ so shit during events?
Dishonored was one of the best games of the last generation if not THE best.
Dishonored 2 looks like more of the same. Looks a bit hitchy and clunky, but if it keeps the good level design, the fun stealth, the fun action (I see they added kicks and charge moves to make it more like Dark Messiah) and the cool visuals (confirmed) and interesting lore, then this will be an easy GOTY winner and a contender for game of this generation.
>>341303105
Pfhahahahahaha. Todd wishes he could be even a 1/10000th as good at level design and world-building as Arkane. Hell, he wishes he could design levels to begin with, unfortunately he's an Open World memer.
>>341303530
Pleb. Stick to your shit adhd games.
This shit just looks so cool. I mean, I have faith that the gameplay will be at least as good as the first one, but for fuck's sake those powers look awesome. The Mesmerize special effect just looks creepy, and that Domino shit looks tight.
Story doesn't seem that interesting
I'm sure the gameplay will be good
>>341303760
>Dishonored

>>341303961
Dishonored was casual just as Skyrim.
>>341306019
>Dishonored
>bad level design
>Implying you even played it
>>341306428
>All levels designed and focused on using super-easy Blink
>good level-design
That presentation was just meh
They made Emily look overpowered and my god the enemies are dumb for a stealth game
I mean what's the point if you can just attack guards directly and kill them so easily
>>341306649
Actually, aside from a single area near the start of the game, the levels are perfectly designed for no blinking. Trust me, I played the game without it.
>>341306649
Not the person you replied to, but all levels were designed so that they could be completed without the use of magic
>>341306216
>>341306997
>it's possible to beat the game without blink, so the levels aren't designed around blinking
are you an idiot?
>>341307028
With the exception of scaling the refinery in the flooded district. However, that is an optional objective.
>>341307028
>but all levels were designed so that they could be completed without the use of magic
So? Game still very primitive stealth with lacking of variations in gameplay.

What does that even mean, relative to the genre?
>>341302654
It was blunted by Tod going "lol TES is coming out on 22/22/22." If he had just said nothing it would have been fine.
>>341307442
The levels are designed around you climbing shit, blink or no blink.
>>341307053
Fuck off Anita.
Looked literally like the first one.
>>341306971
to be clear I'm still excited for the game and still think it was the best game shown at E3 this year
but come on I was expecting a better gameplay presentation
>>341306971
>They made Emily look overpowered
This is pretty much my only complaint about it. That was a serious flaw in the first game, seems like they should have tried to fix it.
>>341307684
If the difficulty of the game gets ridiculously smaller with blink, they're designed for blink
>>341307630
Lack of different weapons and tools, lack of gameplay mechanics.
Lack of content.
>No killing route
Theyre gonna fuck it up AGAIN

You're a fucking retard.
>>341307961
No, it is designed around going from place to place and using verticality to sneak around.
Blink breaks that because you can go point to point very easily.
There is only one area in the entire game where Blink is competely required.
>>341308082
>Lack of different weapons and tools
Compared to what?
>>341308731
Deus Ex.
>>341308385
Yes, one ability out of many is the same as a difficulty setting, which the game has in a different selection screen anyway. You genius.
>>341308463
Anon, out of all the abilities blink is the only one that has such a huge impact in the difficulty while being very cost effective too. It's disingenuous to claim it's not designed for it.
Was it just me or the movement seems really stiff? I was expecting the movement to be so much more fluid in this game after that first trailer.
I'm talking about simple movement in the game walking and running. Maybe the camera in first person needs more work idk
>>341308960
The logic is literally the same. You said that because you can use it to make it easier, it means the level must be designed around it, except it isn't.
Why do people like Dishonored again?
>generic modern stealth gameplay that is almost thi4f tier
>yet another 'play it your way' game that favors stealth and non-lethal but mostly just gives you lethal and non-stealth rewards
>didn't do anything interesting with the steampunk(whale oil punk?) setting, probably the most boring audiologs ever in a videogame
>by the numbers slum level, mansion level, whorehouse level, refinery level etc.
>terrible cartoony art direction to hide poor graphics
The sequel looks no better. Seriously why are people hyped?
>>341309440
I said that because an ability makes things much more easier than other abilities, it's designed around it.
Because you know, blink is an ability.
Are difficulty settings abilities?
>>341302654
yeah looks like one of the better games this year
the only game i see so far competing with it is sea of thieves
>>341302654
I'm sure it'll be decent but I wasn't a huge fan of the first. I think I might have finished it but I forget, I wasn't super engaged by it.
>>341309576
>terrible cartoony art direction to hide poor graphics
terribly ignorant opinions anon
>>341309576
They are liberals who never played old Thiefs.
>>341310418
>>341310428
Don't give it (You)s, Anons. You're just fueling the fire.
>>341302654
I hope Corvo fucks Emily
>>341310428
old thief games were not that impressive
>>341310887
Because their protag was white male?
>>341311041
What a fucking retarded strawman. Are you sure you're not a liberal?
>>341309682
And I'm telling you that it's no different from saying that because you can play the level on easy, the game is designed for easy mode.
No, you stupid motherfucker, the level is designed around climbing, the blink is an added bonus.
>>341307442
yes that is actually what that means. If the levels were designed around blinking then blinking would be the only thing you could do.
>>341309576
I didn't like the fact that it gives you cool weapons and spells for killing yet never gives you the any cool non lethal skills or weapons.
If you preorder 2, you get 1 for free.
I preordered it on Amazon for ps4 cause why not, free game, i'll just cancel it.
Anyone know how long unitl you get the code for Dishonored 1? I can't find anything anywhere
>>341311041
alright dude take a break from the 4channel
>>341310428
When you take the nostalgia goggles off you realise those games aged like milk and are only liked by fat contrarian nerds.
>>341310418
>ignorant
Am I missing something here? I know for example that Darkness 2 went with cartoony celshaded art design to match its comic book source. Is there a similar reason for Dishonored or is it just a simple design choice?
>>341310565
>wah don't tarnish my hype wah I can't of anything to argue
>Have to play as a woman
STUPID ASS FUCKING SJW PANDERING PIECE OF F-
>Option to play as Corvo
I am pleasantly surprised.
>>341311556
actually they do give you more non lethal options in this game
First game was fun, but for the tools it gave you to act stealthy, it gave you 10x the tools to murder.
Once combat starts, your fucked. The mechanic of the more death you cause the more witches and rats that appear is fine, but there was no way to counter act that.
The game asks you to be a badass, then punishes you for the badassness.
>>341309576
>Thiaf
>You can't even jump
>Maneuvering your environment reduced to context sensitive QTEs.
Fuck. Off.
Bethesda is just the fucking producer, Arkane studios hasn't let me down yet and Dishonored was a fuckton of fun.
>>341302654
How when the atmosphere/world looked as dull, boring and generic as fuck?
>>341311784
It is a design choice being a first person game you have distinguish yourself from other samey fps games.
Dishonored also has magic and a really wierd setting in general.
You guys know that you will be able to play Dishonored 2 without powers? You will be able to reject/denounce the power the Outsider gives you
>source some dude's twitter working at Arkane
>>341311798
>Not wanting to go high chaos with Emily to get revenge for her mother.
Even her powers are more bloodthirsty than Corvo's.
>>341314015
I'm not a homosexual so I don't play as a woman
>>341314130
>not a homosexual
>on /v/
Sure thing, faggot.
>>341302654
Nope trash
i didn't like the first Dishonored
>gives you awesome powers/weapons
>can hardly use any of them
>if you kill even one person you get the bad ending
if the game didn't tempt you with all the sweet ways to kill enemies it would have been better.
>>341303530
Then kys.
>>341307848
Good.
>>341314709
Actually the evil ending is the good ending
>>341302654
Gameplay trailer gave me actual goosebumps desu.
>>341314709
>if you kill even one person you get the bad ending
But you're literally wrong
>>341307848
And that's a bad thing? It has expanded on the content from the first game ffs. Shit looks fucking great.
>>341303760
In Dishonored 2s defense; the demo was pretty shit. It was seemingly played with a controller which makes the camera movement seem jerky in first person, the fps was also atrociously uneven and the sound seemed to be slightly out of sync.
get hype tho
>>341309576
>generic modern stealth gameplay
Gr8 b8 m8
>>341314709
>if you kill even one person you get the bad ending
Why do you guys keep saying that? It's not even remotely true. You need to kill indiscriminately to get a high chaos ending, it's not enough to murder all the assassination targets and certain key NPCs that are in your way. You gotta drop bodies like a dead beat dad drops beer cans.
>>341314709
>if you kill even one person you get the bad ending
You can kill 69% of a level's population and keep Low Chaos. 70% is the cutoff to High Chaos.pleb
>>341312173
>The game asks you to be a badass, then punishes you for the badassness.
Yeah, this is probably my biggest problem with Dishonored. I hope they at least tweak the 'morality' system for the new one.
It's even worse that everyone in the game wants you to go around killing all these people, they actively aid you in your pursuit to kill people, and then they turn around and try to tell you you're a terrible person for it. Most of the non-lethal options for the targets are pretty morally terrible anyway.
>>341315963
I'm pretty sure the inclusion of the new robot enemies is so that nonlethal players can still make use of lethal tools, which I think is a good inclusion.
>it's a people shit on Dishonored without having played it episode
Oh boy get the popcorn
>>341315963
They tell you you're a terrible person if you kill otherwise irrelevant people, like several guards each level or even civilians that get in your way. Literally no one will bitch if you assassinate your targets.
>>341311798
>have to play as a woman
>assmad as a child
You're just as bad as the sjw's
I don't get it man. If you're going to E3 to show gameplay for the first time why not put some effort and make a good gameplay presentation.
Why didn't they show one of those creepy mechanical enemies?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqdy1SydhLw
I don't know, they said they improved the enemy AI.
>One of the enemies realizes one guy was gone and got alerted.
>Weather patterns.

>Emily's Shadow Walk
>>341317748
>mfw Emily is The Darkness 3
>>341317748
>You will never again protect Emily's innocence
>>341318215
She may not be innocent anymore,but is shestill a virgin?
>>341318215
That's because if you play as Corvo, she dies. And if you play as her, Corvo dies.
I mean, it looks pretty obvious. I think that's Emily's body he's reaching for in the demo, and the bit with Emily putting on a ring seems similarly significant.
>>341302654
why do developers keep forcing my strong womens down our throat. 99.98% of thje people playing hte game are men. thye could have used the money for more levels

>>341306649
Confirmed for not picking up the game.
>all the complaints about dishonored are waaah it's booooring I wanna be edgy and kill everyone while disregarding stealth and still get rainbows and sunshine coming out my ass for the ending
Is there anyone who actually has a complaint about the game that isn't a direct and intended result of how you play the game?
>>341302654
this is only game i'm waiting for
>>341319393
>Implying she wasn't locked up in a sex dungeon by the Loyalists
Fastest legitimate claim to the throne is having a heir, then killing the mother.
fucks with the shitposting in dishonored threads lately?
this was the one of the very few games with nice threads on /v/ and without any replies to occasional shitposters
new e3 tourists?
>>341310760

>>341320183
What is up with you faggot shippers lately?
>>341303961
To be fair, 80% of the industry wishes they were half as good as Arkane is at level design. Arkane simply never got the recognition for it because their games weren't that big until Dishonored and Bethesda bux.
>>341303126
Well you hear now faggot, no game is completely flawless, stop shilling.
I'm so pissed how Arkane is stuck to work with sequels and pick up leftovers of others instead of making new IP's. They're way too talented for Bethesda.
>>341314709
>kill one person you get the bad ending
That's wrong.
>>341320668
He dying
>>341302654
no interest in playing as a "strong wyman"
>>341302654
>you can refuse the powers at the beginning and play the game without them
Well shit, I didn't expect that. Wasn't that an achievement in the original game?
>>341320183what if one of the endings is Emily staying in the void
>>341307462
I beat the game on a flesh 'n steel run, and I managed to get my gear back in that level without blink/double jump.
The only places I couldn't get through without blink were the outsider tutorial level, the waterlock tower and the pit at the beginning of flooded district.
>>341320893
Pretty sure Dishonored was their new IP break and they made it. Prey seems to be more along the lines "we'll do this AAA title so publisher will allocate us more funds". Not that it looks bad or anything, mind you.
>>341320893
Prey is a new thing in all but name.
>>341321000
You can choose between them you homosexual
>>341321015
>Wasn't that an achievement in the original game?
Yeah, but you could use lvl 1 blink and still get it and blink is the most OP power in the game. Hell it's even required in one mission.
>>341320893
im ok with another dishonored
dont understand why bethesda gave them prey though
>>341321015
Mostly. It was an achievement for going through the game without getting any power other than the first level of blink (since you have to get it). Hence "Mostly Flesh and Steel".
>>341321327
Problem with Prey is that it's blatantly Bethesda just enforcing the name so they can name the license because they've done jack shit with.
>>341318871
>having a female protagonist somehow costs more than having a male one
>>341319141
Wow. Your gay
>>341321272
i know i cant compare these two, but look at visceral now
>>341320781
>To be fair, 80% of the industry wishes they were half as good as Arkane is at level design.
Really? Are they that good?
>>341321360
My guess is because Arkane are competent devs that could probably do a game like that genuinely well. Well enough to not shit all over people's expectations considering Prey's rocky past.
Also Chris Fucking Avellone is co-writing on it. Atleast.
>>341318794
I'm sure I recall them saying that the other character would be around throughout the campaign.
High chaosending best ending.
Who else here is going to play Emily as a murderous bloodthirsty edgelord first time through?
I'll go through the second time full stealth nonlethal as Corvo.
I actually never went lethal as Daud, now that I think about it. Strangely enough it didn't feel right going full murdermode as him.
>>341321494
It's a very silly misuse of an IP, but Arkane has a very solid track record and Prey will probably just be a bigger budgeted System Shock spiritual successor.
>>341321737
Honestly if that's true it's because 80% of the industry is retarded when it comes to level design.
>>341321719
Visceral's problem is they're EA's property and EA is a horrible taskmaster. It's almost amusing how GOOD Bethesda is as a publisher. And for all the ridiculous outrage people have over Prey 2 that's literally EA's routine.
>>341321494
I wounder what it will play like
I never played the original one because i can't fucking find it anywhere
>>341321494
I would not give a fuck about prey if it was developed by anyone else except Arkane. They have yet to disappoint me.
Emily's hands are so sexy.
>>341321780
yeah im not really worried about the outcome
but i think they have too much talent (at least in world/lore building) for scraps like prey
>>341321156
I can get behind thisBut with the outsider as her lover
>>341320893
Dishonored is one of the only real stealth games left out there
>>341321897
Personally I like the high chaos ending if you let Emily die, where Corvo decides Dunwall's basically a write-off and fucks off on a boat.
>>341322096
>Tango has a bunch of potential
>new id is probably solid
>all the competent members of Starbreze
>motherfucking Arkane
Bethesda's publishing side is very good.
>>341321719
>>341322096
I hate how shitty EA is about that
>hey guys, guess what? since we have the rights to Star Wars games that's the only thing we're going to make until you're sick of it! And when we don't reach the sales numbers we expected it's everyone's fault but ours!
I bet we won't even get republic commando 2
>>341322478
How tall is she now?
>>341320183
>implying Outsider didn't ravage Corvo's tight hole everyday ever since Emily was a child
>>341321342
maybe they should market that better?
anyway still not interested at all in it.
it´s still going to be sexist sjw shit on how much better women are compared to the stupid, evil, sexist men judging by some of the devs tweets
>>341320183
STOP POSTING THIS PIC OVER AND OVER AGAIN
>>341322908
Were you raped as a child? No where does it imply that. The main villain of the game is a female
I hope Corvo will finally join Callista in the bath.
>>341321737
Have you played Dark Messiah?
You should
>>341323127
She ded
>>341322908
Are you going to keep crying about it? Go play some other game then.
>>341322478
>perfect nails
Fuck you.
>>341322514
Yeah, I get your point. Though I guess the good part is that they're allowed to do a complete reboot/reimagining of the entire franchise and universe rather than just making a sequel to a game they didn't develop; it lets them do their thing.
>>341322176
>I never played the original one because i can't fucking find it anywhere
Solid game all-around with some interesting ideas like the premise and BAGINA DOORS, but it'll probably go through classical revisionism as people start praising it just to put the new one down.
>>341323250
Not in low chaos senpai
>>341323127
Piero invented her a whale-oil powered vibrator, and in return she married him and lets him watch Sokolov use it on her
>>341323161
Spamming spikes, campfires and barrels isn't exactly rocket science, you know?
>>341322096
true, thats why i didnt really want to compare these two
but it still feels weird
original prey game had a very solid start but it fell really quickly into mediocrity.
>>341323095
thanks for proving my point.
female centered story while all the male characters get to be stupid and useless and watch the oh so great, superior women save the day
>>341323252
I´m definietly going to do just that
>>341321360
>dont understand why bethesda gave them prey though
Good excuse to open a new studio and for Arkane to grow, I guess. Fact they're involved at least means it won't be a straight up FPS.
>>341321712
Nope
>>341323742
Arkane Austin has been around since 2005.
>>341323470
Oops. I was thinking of Lydia.
>>341323626
Hardly any title offers that much interactive stuff in combat and it is not even what I was talking about
I know it was announced ages ago but I'm still kind of bummed that Corvo talks this time around. I liked playing him as a complete sperglord.
>>341322947
Dumb frog poster
>>341324085
It was 2006. My bad. But any big, player-driven games that aren't RPGs published by Bethesda is probably best left in the hands of an Arkane studio.
>>341303126
It's great and all that you think that, but that doesn't stop anyone else from thinking of it as lackluster as most people did.
>TES VI is released
>the combat is still light years away from Dark Messiah
How's Bethesda doing that?
>>341324146
Yeah, I love Dark Messiah just as much as anyone. I was just trying to pull out a joke.
>>341324151
I realised that a voiced Corvo was the future when I played the DLC and heard Daud comment on things with that sweet, sweet Michael Madsen voice. But as much as I like Stephen Russell, I can't help but feel that Corvo sounds like a generic gruff dude. Sure, a gruff dude he might be, but I hope Russell puts much more into it in the rest of the game, the introductory sequence we saw was pretty flat.
What?
People care about this game?
>>341302654
>pick your character
for what fucking purpose
all this will do is make the story utter unimaginable trash
>>341323742
Which is funny because Arkane was SUPPOSEDLY working on System Shock 3 around 2007 before EA cancelled it.
>>341324328
To be fair, Arkane could probably do an Elder Scrolls game better than Bethesda.
>>341324085
I think he was trying to say they're now working on two projects at the same time which is only possible because Bethesda entrusted them with Prey.
>>341318794
That's the soldier that opens the door in the beginning. You can see the pistol on her back when she gets stabbed.
>>341324583
The story in Dishonored was pretty barebones anon. It was the lore and backstories of the side characters that truly shined, so I don't think having two characters will affect those really.
>>341324774
I just want Arkane to make a TES spinoff just how Obsidian made New Vegas
>>341323742
Is Arkane Studios one of those criminally overlooked devs? Putting aside their own not insignificant games, they've also worked on
>Half-Life 2: Episode 4 - CANCELLED
>BioShock 2
>Call of Duty: World at War - MULTIPLAYER
They picked up a bunch of experience along the way.
>>341324774
There was an anon suggesting that Machine Games were working on a Fallout spin off. Although obviously untrue, it's an interesting thought. ZeniMax have better IPs and better teams than what they know what to do with.
>>341324774
I think most dev studios could do that.
>>341324573
>Brigmore Witches
>A Stay of Execution for Lizzy
>locate a bonecharm hidden in the toilet of a cell
>pick up the charm with a disgusting sound effect
>".... this better be worth it..."
There's literally no question that a voiced protagonist is superior. They handled it beautifully in the Daud DLCs.
>>341324774
Arkane doesn't have any experience of open world games, so that could be risky for them. I wouldn't mind something more linear though.
>>341325131
>a TES spinoff
I'd love to see that.
>>341325212
>Machine Games
Shit, I'd take that. I don't know why spin-offs simply ceased to exist. Yeah sure, Brotherhood of Steel was shit but Fallout Tactics wasn't. I'd take something else set in Fallout universe. I mean, it's clear Obsidian won't get another crack at it.
>>341323687

>>341325452
Absolutely. They tried to do Gordon Freeman thing, but it just didn't work out for Corvo because the story was more hands-on but you had this mute MC just hanging around. Fortunately they're making up for it by hiring Stephen Russell.

It looked clunky as hell.
The presentation hit essentially all of the meaningless buzzwords. Acting like its a fucking revolution to show buildings in disrepair in a way that one might recall how it looked when it wasn't.
The colors were blinding. Like the look of bright sidewalks and stones in daylight that you get practically "snowblinded" into needing some sunglasses.
The AI was dumb as rocks doing the basic sort of "huh, what was that" and slow exploration of the area that games in the PS2 era did better.
The powers just looked overpowered. Dozens of ways to address a problem and all of them garunteed to work just fine is not "dynamic", it's frivolous.

IIRC, Harvey said they're responsible for all the stealth elements and some levels in Bioshock 2. 2K told them to take it out, but that mishmash of teams kept it in.
>>341325529
A shootan focused Fallout about a Brotherhood knight set out on a particular mission would work as a linear shooter.
>>341325452
they've handled daud really well
allthough my most fav games have silent protagonist, so i wouldnt mind if corvo was silent again

Skrim remake foe the win.

>>341325707
because people want action games more than they want stealth games. I mean look at all the people in this thread wishing the game let you kill people more. Something like thief that punished the player for any sort of confrontation just wouldn't fly today.
>>341326706
eh, kinda. I'm surprised as fuck styx is getting a sequel.
>>341326661
Did you not play 1?
>>341326547
>Michael Kirkbride is in

Well that would be interesting.
>lore is followed
>stay on the outskirts of the province or die unless you're playing an argonian
I wouldn't even be mad. It'd be amazing.
>>341302654
Agreed. Loved the first one, looking forward to this one. The closest thing to a true thief sequel we'll get.
>>341326706
>I mean look at all the people in this thread wishing the game let you kill people more
But Dishonored let you go on some pretty damn crazy killing sprees.
>b-but high chaos
High chaos means more shit to kill in each area, I don't see a problem.
I unironically like Dishonored because it allows a non-lethal way. Am I becoming old or sjwish
>people actually complained about the gameplay footage
it can be played as a stealth game, I'm glad someone had to balls to actually show it off as such instead of the usual "mainstream is too dumb to get it, let's just use the action reel".
>>341327123
>But Dishonored let you go on some pretty damn crazy killing sprees.
yeah it did, im just saying people still didn't like getting the bad ending. Something that outright failed you if you left more than x bodies wouldn't do well at all
>>341327265
No. You just like the idea of being a sneaky badass no one ever notices. Doing combat runs is fun, but my Ghost + Clean Hands run was incredibly satisfying.
>getting almost all collectibles (fucking hidden gold)
>no bodies discovered
>no alarms
>>341302654
it's actually coming out this year so it has that going for it
>>341327265
Sounds to me like you appreciate having options.
I also like Dishonored because it allows you to go non-lethal, even though I literally never did a non-lethal run and I enjoy he otion to use magic even though I rarely use it.
It's all about the fact that I'm the one who chooses how to play.
>>341327515
honestly biggest mistake dishonored made was informing you of the chaos system at the end of tutorial. they should've left it vague so players can play however they want to without "gaming" the game.
>>341327614
>get an alarm raised on my Ghost run because of NPC infighting
How the hell did Corvo allow Emily to get Outsider's mark?
>>341302654
Why does most people on /v/ dislike Dishonored. Is it just because you could fight your way throught the game?
>>341327869
You can refuse it if you play as Emily.
>>341327869
How exactly could he disallow it? It's not up to him.
>>341327842
>perfect mission
>one guy dead because you stashed him in a hidden corner and rats ate him
>enter the people who never played Dishonored 1 and are now going to blatantly shit all over the sequel and spout buzzwords
It's sad because the first one was fantastic and did a lot of things well. The only problem was the difficulty and lack of stealth options, which was mostly fixed in the god-tier Daud missions.
There's always the same people bitching about "waaah I get punished for killing" too, even though the chaos endings are pretty cool and you get the best version of the finale. It's those people and ignorant Thieffags that get upset that it's not a 1:1 copy of their favorite stealth game despite Dishonored being focused more on assassinating and allowing for creative combat scenarios as well. I love Thief, but it's a load of horse crap to compare the two games when they clearly try to do something different from each other overall.
>>341328117
I think people became a lot more favorable to Dishonored after Thiaf came out.
>>341327459
Corvo looks like shit
>>341327459
still hyped about delilah comeback
>>341326208
Never

>>341302654
Im pretty disappointed
-unimpressive graphics
-little visible improvement to the gameplay
--pick Corvo/Emily to make sure story will be shit again
-new setting looks not that much different
-no hint of anything non combat related like we had in last game
i just dont see this generation jump, looks like an upscale rather
>>341328492
He looks grizzled as fuck, as he should be.
You try maintaining good looks after all the shit he's been through.
>>341328697
Maybe I will, fuckboy!
>>341328492
He looks appropriate. But I always imagined his vocie to be much grittier.
>>341328891
I'm happy with more of the same with more content tacked on, really.
The Daud DLC made me pretty confident that they'll mix lethal and nonlethal well.
Anybody else hoping Daud comes back?
>>341329941
Absolutely. The canon ending seems to be Daud getting spared anyway, and he did intend to fuck off back to Serkonos.
HOL UP
Anyone knows if it is going to use Dishonored 1 savefile? That'd be so cool.
>>341330380
If they are, then they haven't said anything about it yet. At least that I'm aware of.
>>341330380
>>341330629
Afaik, no. They're going for a general "medium chaos" kind of ending. Presumably Corvo assassinated most of the targets, but he didn't stir shit up in the entire city and kept to being a professional. Also Daud's supposedly alive and my guess is that his canon ending is the redemption one.
>>341330935
Would be nice to have a little bonus for playing Dishonored 1, like in the Ratchet & Clank games. Not expecting it to happen though.
I don't like Corvo talking
>>341308285
Goddman this pissed me off so fucking much about the last game. It shoehorned that fucking bullshit moral choice system despite giving us the coolest fucking way to murder up a whole fuckton of guys. It's like mark of the ninja, all the awards were for killing guys in awesome ways but if you dared to use them the game judged you for it. Pissed me off something srs.
>>341329941
Yup
>>341303105
>I don't know the difference between a developer and a publisher
Coming back to what some anon said. Is it true that you can deny the Outsider mark as Emily? If thats the case then i know what my first playthrough will be like. Unless i can remove the mark with Corvo ofcourse
>>341331405
I'm ok with Corvo but not sold yet on Emily's voice
