none of them fantasy but doesn't matter to me

Underrated how?

/v/ hates everything so who cares about their fucking opinion. Press and majority of users loved it and sold very well.

I just think it's a pretty good mix between Thief and Dark Messiah while being a weaker version of them. But still a good game. DLC is better too.

I'm probably being le trolled xd but Dishonored is anything but underrated; the game got 9's and 10's all around.

>>345194365

Maybe by autistic contrarian thief faggots that hate it despite it being the closest thing ever made to the original Thief games, but it was a commercial and critical success. Over half of Bethesdas conference was dedicated to showcasing the second game

A lot of people never gave it a chance, including me, loved it when I replayed it though.

Dying light is pretty fucking great, it boggles my mind how I never even saw it mentioned on /v/.

Shadow warrior remake is good, looks magnificent, and is pretty decent overall, nostalgia fags hate it though.

It was nominated for GOTY in 2012.

People see grimrock 1 being hyped, they buy game and realize they dont actually like the genre that much -> ignore grimrock 2.

half right i guess
the hype for the first one was huge but i didn't even know about 2 until a week before it released
even asscancer didn't do a video on it

It deserves no lower than 9/10. Realistically, though, it's a 10/10

Dishonored was developped by Arkane.

That shit was getting high praise left and right, if anything it was overrated. I liked the premise but the stealth elements felt extremely barebones, especially if you played non-lethal.

Well for a 90%+ metacritic score it has very little impact on anything, no one talks about it, theres no memes, no one asked for dishonored 2.
>>
>>345195482
As a long time Thief fan I love Dishonored, it's the new Thief game we never got...we just got Thi4f...fucking kill me.

At least Dishonored 2 is coming to save the day, even if it's more of the same with a few new elements I'm eager to play. I would have bought another story DLC for the first game had they made it.

Jason Vandenbherg is such a cool guy. Met him at E3 and he was a force of nature. You meet some creative directors and they have the charisma and passion of a wet napkin, but Jason bleeds energy for his new game.

Would valve lose something by having porn games on its store? Progressives clearly arent trying hard enough.
>>
>>345198334
The best thing is this game is an awesome puzzler with RPG elements that actually help you solve puzzles.

Having your Mage shoot spells into holes and casting light. Missile users hitting switches across rivers. Melee users finding a kick ass sword and using the same sword in a empty handed statue to unlock a secret.

I rolled Rat "Scabskin" the Rogue, Frog Battlemage, Human "Fat Rob" the Alchemist and a Minotaur Warrior.

Couldn't find a workshop level really worth my time, players had a hard time balancing custom content - suggestions?

loved dishonored.

played it the week after I beat bioshock infinite. my God, they don't even compare. Dishonored is above and beyond a better game.

Is Dishonored: Definitive Edition alright on Xbox One? I just got one and I'm looking for games to play. It's pretty cheap. Also is the DLC on the disc or a download code?
>>
>>345215919
My pet peeve is western porn games quality would increase dramatically if they were allowed on steam or gog. Now theres only patreon and its horrible for game developement because it incentivizes stalling the developement.

This game is bland as, world and story wise. I appreciate that all the convicts go to a place and the classes reflect criminals.

The passive tree doesn't provide enough meaningful choices or excitement for getting points, but it is at least admirable in its size.

Having abilities as gems makes them less exciting, and the passives seem to support doing one thing for each class: grab a six-slot chest, find he ability that does the most damage for the passives you stacked - then spam that ability with your mana over and over.

Diablo 3 at least had interesting cool downs, spam attacks and big attacks - and the classes were not just generic things that can do everything, (but should actually just do one thing well)

It was a good experiment in game design though and they've made the best of their early choices, a paid sequel would be really great I'm sure from this experience.

The demo for this was absolutely terrible. How well does it represent the full game?
>>
>>345215843
Didn't bother me much, as a frequent non-lethal stealth game player, having less options and abilities than the murderhobo players is par for the course.

That said the sequel is confirmed to have non-lethal drop attacks as well as meat shield and combat knockouts.
>>
>>345194365
it was boring af
graphics being shit doesn't help either
>>
>>345216023
Thanks for the suggestions. Are those puzzle focused or more dungeon crawlery? I'm not a huge fan of these style games normally but Grimrock 2 was the best I've played.

My experience until then however has been generic dungeon crawler games without any pizzaz that I can't even remember their names.

Tell you what though, one of the night and magics, or maybe a wizardry, (that 3D off-grid free roam similar genre) had this sick potion system where each potion was a color, red was health, blue mana, mix together and purple is both. But it went deeper and deeper to secondary and then tertiary colours, with like 32 or something potions available from different colour mixes.

It's not underrated it sits exactly where it should. Fun game but it's pretty average in everything it does. In fact I would go as far to say it's pretty fucking easy on any difficulty and WAY too linear for having a city as your backdrop.

I played the demo, liked the idea, hated the game. Kept thinking it felt like a cancelled MMO.

Years later, get hyped about it since I was in the mood for a lesser known RPG, bought it - realized I still hated it, classes don't really matter it just changes your weapon animations and dodge.

Definitely cancelled MMO ideas. I kinda appreciated some of the card stuff, but was completely Unfazed by the story and quit out.

I get what you mean - the levelling system was pretty under-developed and the level 40 cap really pissed me off. Still, I thought the combat was alright. Leaps and bounds ahead of other open world rpgs like Skyrim, anyways.
