Anyone optimistic for Dishonored 2?
Fuck yeah
Just waiting for gameplay videos
I thought it was a decent standalone game, don't know if its warrants a sequel.
>>336455614
>first lesbian heroine
>first lesbian heroine
>first lesbian heroine
i am calling it!
How about they show something besides that prerendered trailer, then I can tell.
Me. Dishonored 1 was my favorite game of the past generation and is one of my favorite games ever, up there with shit like Deus Ex, Thief 1 and 2 and Hitman: Contracts and Blood Money
Hoping we get some gameplay footage this E3 and that the game doesn't get delayed like every game seems to be nowadays.
Also hoping they have the hardest difficulty be harder than the hardest difficulty of the first game. (Peak no longer overpowered, blink actually wastes a bit of mana now so you can't just use it forever as long as you wait enough, etc)
>>336455853
What are you talking about? Why would you not want a sequel? They even talked about a lot of places (Including Serkonos) in the first game that I wanted to visit.
>>336455928
To be fair, if you had Emily's life, wouldn't you be a lesbian as well?At best she's gonna be bi, because she wanted to marry Corvo
>>336455614
Can they possibly top whiskey and cigars?
>>336455614
calling it. corvo's gonna die
Nope. I disliked Dishonored.
>>336457303
Low chaos Emily turned out pretty well and that's the canon they're going with right?
There's really nothing to indicate she's a lesbian in either run through though.
>>336457349
Wasn't it already confirmed he dies of you play Emily's route?
>Corvo's VA is Stephen Russell
Hell yeah, I am.
>>336457446
>kidnapped by lanky as fuck freaks
>kept in a brothel for six months
>rescued by Corvo and gets taken care of/taught by a qt
>taken away from qt when she's kidnapped by freaks /again/Nah, I'm just fucking with you
>>336455614
>muh dick
Yeah. We should get to see gameplay at E3, and Arkane knows what they're doing. Daud DLC was goat so it'd be really weird to see something disappointing
>>336457303
Little girls wanting to marry their fathers has nothing to do with sexual attraction.
When you finish the low chaos run through, it seems that the Devs didn't plan on a part 2. I could have swore Corvo died because it showed Emily at the grave.
>>336457513
I don't know about that. I thought we can choose our player character
Are they going to fix her face so that she's slightly lest Cumberbatch-ish, or are they pretty happy with what they got
>>336458087
Of course they didn't want to make part 2.
Arkane wanted to make a new System Shock game.
But Bethesda only agreed and their studio in France would make Dishonored 2.
>>336458198
Who gives a shit? You won't see her face it's a first person game
>>336458087
It showed Emily at the grave decades later when she's old herself and ruled over a Golden Age. Either none of the endings are canon or the Corvo path in 2 is and it takes place after that (pretty sure they said Corvo dies if you play as Emily but I don't think they mentioned the reverse for Corvo's, so I guess she just has no need to go all assassin if Corvo is still there to do it for her).
>Corvo has a voice actor now
>It's Steve Russell
is this the Thief game we've been waiting for?
>>336458198
U wot m8
>>336458357
>Steve
more like stephen
>>336458318
>Corvo dies on Emily's path
>Complete game, get revenge
>Corvo turns out to be just chilling with the Outsider
>Dishonored 1 ending takes place afterwards
Problem solved.
>>336458198
She'll probably look ugly as shit in game like everyone else.
Some new from the game informer issue
>Emily's powers include Far Reach, Mesmerise, Domino, and Doppleganger. Domino links 4 enemies; what happens to 1 happens to all
>Corvo's new power upgrades allow Bend Time to fast forward time; and you can now chain Possession from entity to entity
>It sounds like placing an unconscious body on a bed will make other NPCs not notice it
>>336458092
I'm betting that was the original idea, then the devs realised it was fucking retarded because they would have to make two games worth of missions and variables.
>>336458490
Dishonored 1 ending has Corvo dying of old age.
>>336458363
Thanks for confirming
This is what a young, healthy, strong, royal born woman is supposed to look like
Hahaha
>>336458649
>Domino links 4 enemies; what happens to 1 happens to all
Nightstalker Tether from Destiny, fuck yes. I hope sleep darts and choking count.
>>336455614
Her arm is way longer than it needs to be in this picture. This Emily has no style.
>>336458709
Except there's been no such statement of that. The Corvo dying thing comes from when they said you could choose. If you pick Emily he dies, if you play as him he doesn't.
>>336458709
See
>>336458649
You can play as both. Also you're an idiot. The missions would be the same, you'd just have different powersets and more voice acting.
>>336455614
I don't get why anyone is excited for this. The first one was kind of shit, desu. And it was shat on pretty hard when it came out. If this just a case of hipsterism?
>>336459001
>And it was shat on pretty hard when it came out.
It wasn't really. Except the "4 hours long" memes.
>>336459001
The first one had beautiful art direction, solid gameplay and a solid story, not to mention DLC offerings that had no right being as good as they were. I don't get how anyone can not be excited for this.
>>336458885
That seems like a massive waste of resources, why not just have one campaign path that has more effort put into it?
>>336459205
>That seems like a massive waste of resources, why not just have one campaign path that has more effort put into it?
Because it doesn't take anywhere near as much effort as you're making it out to be? It's literally just more voice acting and the different powers.
>>336458770
Dishonored never had handsome or healthy looking characters.
>>336459001
>And it was shat on pretty hard when it came out.
>Fantastic critical reception from both critics and players
>Great sales
Protip: Your delusions aren't reality.
>new campaigns
>emily has super cool powers
>corvo dies if you choose to play as emily
>>336459117
That's exactly what I was talking about
>>336459205
Yeah, but the inclusion of a moral system pretty much meant you were forced to play a certain way or risk losing out on the "preferred" ending
>>336459315
Not just that, but the whole, going back to the hub, thing was shit. Should've just made it semi-open world with locked off areas instead.
I liked the first one, surely this can't be too bad?
>>336458885
When was this stated?
>>336459481
>he wasn't here for the "lol 4 hours" fiasco
What I would really, REALLY love is if the new game actually allowed you to regen all of your (differently-named) mana, not just like "lol you used ability now you have low mana until you get magical bullshit potion"
>>336459573
I agree, the moral system was fucking retarded, the guards were all corrupt scumbags and the gangs even worse scumbags, morality my ass. Still, going full stealth was fun.
>>336457313
Indeed, i believe so.
Dishonored 1's level design started getting worse and worse. Not sure if 2 could keep up the level design with 2 protagonists
>>336458770
>Hahaha
Don't you have some Yoshi eggs to sniff you freak
>>336459937
I can agree here. Although only few guards assigned to do private jobs or really dirty jobs were actually really corrupt, the rest of them were believed to think that Corvo was the one who killed the Queen and he has just escaped prison. After all, the people still believe Corvo was the one who killed the queen.Unless you chose to neutralize that piece of shit behind it all
The gangs though were also dipshits, but you gotta admit the leader was okay. We're still not sure if gang members act independently most of the time or not. Even then, he is honorable enough to act on his part of bargainto send those 2 piece of shits brothers into one of their owned minesif you do yours. Plus, the gang members in any given level (except in their own brewery) are few enough in numbers to actuallychange the ending of the gameby their own deaths.
>>336459937
How did the system not make sense?
Even if we were to believe that all the guards were corrupt, which is patently untrue, the real effect is that killing law enforcement and leaving dead bodies everywhere leads to the increased transmission of the plague
Its perfectly sensible
>>336460203
>two protagonists
isn't corvo dead?
>>336460971
No. Low Chaos end is the canon end. This takes place sometime between Dishonored 1 and when Corvo grows old and dies.
>>336459854
Its meant to somewhat gate you from just spamming abilities nonstop
You could blink forever as long as you waited for the timer but if you dd it multiple times or used stronger spells you would run out.
>>336460971
Only on Emily's run
>>336461184
Its less canon now, the new conspiracy fucked with the natural course of events with magic
>>336458198
She looks like a 10/10 in Dishonored's world.
>>336460842
Because you can kill maybe three hundred people over the course of the game, I don't know the real number, but I'm gonna estimate that. So three hundred dead people is enough to create a surge in plague rats and exacerbate the epidemic?
No, fuck that, and fuck the lazy ass morality system that did nothing but hurt the game and make a shit ending.
>>336458649
>Corvo's new power upgrades allow Bend Time to fast forward time
Why the fuck would I want to do that?
>>336461197
what the fuck is even going on at the end o that webm
i feel gypped for only using blink
>>336459854
If anything, they should make the mana ability more severe.
Rather than being able to Blink and use Dark Vision all you want as long as you wait 5 seconds, they should have only half the energy recharge so you can't spam blink all over the place (until you have the right runes + upgrades, of course)
>>336461184
Neither ending is canon, they're just adding a new ending.
This is the best solution they could have with Corvo, but in my opinion, they should have just placed it in Serkonos and not had either Corvo or Emily. It should have happened more or less at the same time as Dishonored 1 and have a completely different cast of characters.
>>336461429
>he doesn't know the pleasure of making an enemy put himself in front of his own bullet
Play Dishonored again and use all the powers this time.
>>336457446
>Low chaos Emily turned out pretty well and that's the canon they're going with right?
It's not. They're making a new canon beginning so neither from the original is canonical anymore.
>>336461346
It will if you kill half the law enforcement and intimidate the elite of the city
>>336461346
You need to kill 20% of each level for over half of the levels to get the bad ending. At that point you're just committing genocide. You are certainly killing more people than there are people deserving of death in the game.
And this is a non-issue anyways because the game is both fun as low chaos and high chaos, and the chaos system makes it more replayable. So stop being a baby.
I hope they keep the system.
>>336461429
The game was hella fun because you had so many options with or without powers
>>336461370
You can use it to wait for certain enemies or notice patrol patterns much more easily.
I really don't like the idea of two protagonists.
Feels like they didn't know what to do with the story, couldn't decide and took them both and mixed.
Should've settled with one desu. Either is fine.
>>336455928
Too late to be the first lesbian heroine
>>336461346
That would staggering numbers of trained security personnel/street smart brawlers felled, security measures sabotaged left and right, and the moral impact of people being murdered by the hundreds disrupting police cohesion.
>>336458649
>It sounds like placing an unconscious body on a bed will make other NPCs not notice it
Jesus fucking Christ finally! I've been waiting forever for this to be implemented into stealth games.
>>336455614
Well, it cannot be any worse than the first game, so...
>>336461370
You mean "why the fuck wasn't this implemented in stealth games a decade ago"?
>Mankind Divided in august
>Dishonored 2 in november
wow, two deusexy games in a single year
>>336458649
>4 man knockouts
>chain possessions
Im getting hype
>>336455614
Not really. Arkane's each game is more dumbed down and streamlined than the last (though Dark Messiah struck a nice balance). But really it's because I didn't like Dishonored 1 to begin with. It was clearly designed so that you play lethally but that made the game way too easy and you were punished for it. But play nonlethally and you have almost no options and all your upgrade points are left to gather dust. It was really boring to play that way too.
Also
>Bethesda in charge of not shitting up anything they publish
>>336462793
Plus Hitman 6, which is kind of Deus Ex-y. I put it in that category anyways.
>>336462814
Emily probably doesn't have possession.
>>336463273
I know, I like that there are cool unique spells for both
>>336455614
Prattling, masturbatory interviews and cinematic trailer with total absence of actual gameplay demos makes me assume they're hiding the fact the actual production is a complete clusterfuck. Which is sad, because I love the first and its DLC. I am absolutely not optimistic.
>>336463398
No shit. It's barely being announced.
They promised gameplay in the following days.
No to mention E3 is very soon
>mfw playing as Emily
>>336458770
do you have any idea how much inbreeding happened in most actual royal families?
>>336463607
>They promised gameplay in the following days.
Nope, gotta wait for E3
>>336455614
I don't know, where's the fucking gameplay video?
>>336462814
You could already do a 4 man knockout when stopping time, shit was cash.
>>336464302
>nothing for a month
>game doesn't release for five months after that

>>336464657
LOW CHAOS EMILY A BEST DAUGHTERFU
>>336458363
Nose is a tad fucked up but she probably looks cute enough without the frown
>>336458363
I am your father
>>336464806
Only because you didn't really see his face in the game's artstyle
The second game looks interesting but it won't have the character motivation of wanting to rescue his daughter and get revenge for his lover.
I'll still probably play it unless they completely shit the bed with it.
>>336455614
Depends how SWJ the story is. And if Chloë give voice to Emily.
>they picked this faggot to replace Outsider's VA
This is going to be a shitshow. This guy's nasally voice can't do The Outsider.
Are they going to make him some rambling insane comic in the sequel? Because I can't picture his voice any other way.
>New type of plague
Jesus fuck, new kind of weepers
>>336459937
and dont forget those 'casually' no-kill option in the principal missions
>>336465348
>the Outsider was confirmed to just be a really old dude instead of the avatar of a giant leviathan whale.
fucking gay.
>>336465285
No Chloe has been confirmed, it's some other grill that did some npc in Fallout 4
>>336465348
I really liked the Outsider voice in Dishonored, it was so soothing.
>>336465472
Yeah they pretty much missed an opportunity there. They just made him a generic dude that got fucked up by the void and is now strong.
>>336455614
A bit. Dishonored could have been better, but the Daud DLC shows they were able to improve on what they had. My only concern is Corvo and his route. Emily being featured in the forefront of everything and Corvo getting a voice, even if it's Stephen Russell, makes it seem like they might want players to pick Emily's route and make Corvo more of a NPC. I'd love to see them pull off two campaigns that are similar yet different like with old Resi games, but if they can do that while being Bethesda's bottom bitch is a big if.
>>336465265
I'm guessing it'll be more political.
How do the characters work? Do you swap between Emily and Corvo throughout the game or do you pick one and play as them for the whole game?
>>336466109
No info on this yet
>>336465472
>>336465609
>fans come up with a perfect, well-thought-out and awesome
>Devs decide to go with something completely mundane instead
fucking kill me senpai
>>336459519
You don't know for sure tho.
>i'll still play with corvo my 1st playthrough
>>336466214
>>336466109
You pick one at the beginning and that's it.
https://www.vg247.com/2015/07/07/dishonored-2-emily-and-corvo-play-and-feel-different/
>Dishonored 2 begins with players in control of Emily, but after a prologue the game offers a choice as to whether to continue as the exiled empress or step into the shoes of returning protagonist Corvo.
>Once you’ve made that choice you can’t switch back, and the decision will dramatically shape your experience of the game – even though the two characters go on the same missions.
>>336466109
>>336466214
They actually confirmed you pick one and stick with him/her. And Corvo dies if you pick Emily, if they kept that in.
>>336455614
I am. Studio is great, and their art direction is fantastic.
I'd love them make another RPG though, but i guess since bethesda bought them it's not an option anymore.
I just want more daud to be honest
>>336465472
That sounds cool as fuck. It's better since it still leaves some mystery to the character.
>>336455614
I am, Dishonored and the DLC were excellent.
>>336466359
>Corvo dies
Where does this came from? I know it's obvious choice to make writing wise, to get easy 10/10 from feelfags (such as myself) but still could we all stop memeing? In Dishonored outro it's implies he died of old age

cheers m8s
I really liked Dishonored. A game where your choices actually kinda mattered and they provided a lot of choice when tackling missions. Great artstyle and overall design, too
>>336466217
Fans didn't even come up with it, though. One of the diaries from a crazy woman gone mad says she saw the Outsider coming as a massive leviathan.
Leaked concept art for a new faction

I don't think you know what stealth actually means.

enlighten me then what does it actually mean?

>Dishonored
I will never understand why people like that game.
>>336469753
see
>>336466789
>>336455614
I've got hopes. I enjoyed the first one's story a decent amount. Never did the DLC.
>>336455614
Yes.
I like the fact that they said you can chose to play either Corvo or Emily.
I mean, a Royal Protector shouldn't let his charge do the fighting am I right?
>>336459825
It never was, he's talking out his ass.
>>336469753
Could competent writing, unique art direction, open level structure, choices and consequences be the case?
Nah, that would be too obvious, must be something else
>>336465265
From what I remember Emily is overthrown by a magical conspiracy and if you play as her Corvo dies, so she has a pretty compelling motivation
>>336465565
The Heart had a great voice I wonder if Emily will take it tooand if she'll realize who it is
>>336465393
Its flies this time right?
>>336466763
The conspiracy in 2 altered the timeline so he won't die of old age anymore
>>336467517
How can a dead man see you?
>>336470546
Source?
Of all the games Dishonored doesn't need the sequel.
Especially a sequel not set on Pandyssian Continent.
Especially a sequel WITH THE SAME CHARACTERS but without fucking Daud as a protagonist.
And especially with a fucking Emily somehow going from a queen to a goddamn assassin.
>>336470739
was also disapointed when they made emily the protag, there are 6 more marked ones out there not counting delilah and daud
hell, more doud would be all I want from a sequel
>>336470739
Good thing no one cares about your opinion.
Daud is fucking cool though, agreed.
>>336470739
You are spewing a lot of bullshit but I have to agree that its the Dark Messiah that needs sequel
>>336470873
I fucking hated Emily in D1, easily the worst and most annoying character ever.
Now we will have to suffer an entire game with her going full special snowflake.
>>336470739
The first game had nice ideas but it was obvious they didn't have the time to do everything they wanted to. It was good but it was almost the epitome of unused potential.
D2 allows them to finally do whatever they want and however they want without rush
>>336470636
One of the interviews where they went over the basics of the plot
They said that the plot diverges form the low chaos canon ending due to the new conspiracy doing magic shit
>>336458363
I wouldn't mind getting stabbed by her.
>>336471590
The GI cover looks nice
>>336455614
I made this: https://sites.google.com/site/darkwavestyle/games-research/dishonored
If d2 will have the same amount of tricks then i will be pretty hype. If it adds enemies that can withstand an assault of that shit and if they make it so stunned enemies who are hit will be stunned again so we can do combos if we practice the timing enough then i will be hype as fuck and it will go straight to my goat list.
Sadly I do not know if the people at arkane are adept enough at game mechanics programming to recreate a similar system as d1 had. So yeah that kind of lowers my hype.
>>336471563
It's from last year's quakecon, right? I'm pretty they didn't imply anything about altering timelines, and for sure nothing about Corvo dying in Emily route.
I will re-watch it tomorrow, but feel free correct me on this if you have actual quotes on these subjects.
>>336466789
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhLcm3uPCME
>stealth
yeah, no
you were just openly fighting people
>>336455614
I'm hype as fuck. I love Dishonored.
Honestly do not understand the backlash about having Emily as a protagonist. I was not surprised at all, I was actually more surprised that Corvo was back than that Emily would be playing a major role as an assassin. The first game pretty much implied that seeing Corvo killing for the greater good gave her the outlook that justified murder is okay. Makes total sense.
>>336471897
>Sadly I do not know if the people at arkane are adept enough at game mechanics programming to recreate a similar system as d1 had. So yeah that kind of lowers my hype.
But they already did it with Dishonored 1 so why wouldn't they be able to?
>>336455614
>old corvo
shit he looks good, better than that raggedy ass look he had in the first game
Still going to play Emily because Low-Chaos is boring
>>336472015
>there is nothing to notice if there is no one to notice
>>336471882
Really digging the clockwork mecha's
>>336455614
Dishonored is probably my favourite standalone game of all time, so I'm kinda iffy about a sequel
I'd rather play as another Marked One, as some other anons have also said, than Emily I think. I can't think of a single female protagonist who was an assassin who wasn't bordering on insufferable
>>336455928
Arkane wouldn't stoop that low just for pity points
They focus a whole lot on worldbuilding and in the society they are in, it would cause some serious shit if the heir to the throne could not produce offspring
>>336471986
I could be wrong as its been a while but I remember them talking about the new conspiracy really fuckng with things and the old canon no longer beng valid
>>336462814
I never used possession in the first one, but wouldn't chaining them eat up mana like a motherfucker?
>>336461429
>used only blink
stop
replay the game
and do it right this time
>>336465176
How does that change anything
>>336465472
>Outsider is no longer an Eldritch Whale Beast
What the fuck? Why in the shit would they pull that? I thought that was the whole point of the whale motif? I'm mad.
>>336472516
My only point was to figure out where the "corvo dies" meme come from, because devs didn't say anything about this (it could have been really stupid to announce major spoiler like that). I'll do some research tomorrow.
>>336472376
that isn't how you play stealth games
it doesn't matter if there is no one to notice you come the end of the level, if you were noticed during it, you weren't stealthy
>>336472251
Well because a lot of stuff is accidental. So unless they go back to d1 programming and analyze it up to the deepest detail i dont think they'll get all the quirks in. Heck id be happy if they copy pasted that stuff and just expanded it from there. That shit has so much potential, jesus. its a goldmine.
>>336455614
>not being optimistic for new video games by default
I'd rather not be a joyless cunt who hates video games, thanks.
I'll be cautiously optimistic until I got more info. Arkane showed that they can learn from their mistakes with the Daud DLC. If the previews look shit I can still meme on it and have it pleasantly surprise me if I'm wrong.
>>336472463
I very much doubt that Emily is still the heir to anything if she's running around in a foreign city slitting throats.
>>336472405
Yeah, i loved how everything looked more refined in the first trailer
Im looking forward to seeing if and how tech has changed since the first game
>>336472548
Possession ate up a good deal of mana but maybe they changed the mana rules or the upgrade reduces mana consumption
>>336464000
>implying she was inbred
Corvo cucked her mom's husband bro did you even pay attention
>>336466217
There were hints in the game that he was just a whale
>>336457587
>Corvo's VA is Stephen Russell
Wait, seriously?
>>336455614
Totally, the first one had amazing stealth gameplay.
wasn't dishonored just the usual 3rd person cutscene watcher
I spend my time on games that I know are actual games
>>336470739
Daud's story is over
>>336473060
Just as well as story of Emily and Corvo.
>>336473036
It's not third person nor does it have many cutscenes.
>>336472678
Because good fanart can make nearly anything look good, whereas the in game art did not make faces look beautiful, especially for men
For instance, Martin looks decent here but less than stellar in game
>>336472941
You mean goth fuckboi wasn't his true form?
>>336472886
The story is that magic happened and they got booted off the throne and now some fuck is there instead
>>336458318
So there are two different paths/playthroughs? Or are they interlinked?
>>336465472
Where did they confirm this?
>>336473164
No, the void is a reality that he can morph
It made more sense that he chose to appear as he did to not cause even more alarm
>>336473036
it was 1st person and had one cutscene at the end
>>336473227
high chaos / low chaos
whichever one you pursue changes the game pretty drastically in some areas and there are a few endings (with one of them even being Corvo going into self-imposed exile because Emily fell from the tower and he failed to save her)
>>336473036
You're drunk, get some sleep.
>>336455614
I liked Dishonored and the DLC was very good too, so yeah. I see no reason to believe it's going to be shit so far, Dishonored has a good track record.
>>336472190
What backlash? Nobody complains about her being an MC, a lot of players even saw it coming, even kids that can't infer.
>>336473036
Did Dishonored even have any cutscenes besides the intro and end?
>>336461757
>>336461197
This guy and a few others get thousands of views for just playing the game with some skill like it was intended. Meanwhile i rip the entire game apart. Figure out 30x as much shit and secret tricks and all i get is 1500views, a little girl asking me why i keep bumping into my own grenades and some faglords that tell me doing elaborate tricks is dumb.
I never recovered from that.
>>336473472
There was much shitposting upon the announcement but it died off quickly.
>>336473036
Literally just look at any gameplay videos and at least give it a pirate, senpai.
>>336472798
If you're pessimistic you'll be less disappointed if it's shit.
>>336472886
>Arkane showed that they can learn from their mistakes with the Daud DLC.
Really, main things they need to learn and incorporate is A) make stealth more fun and not so you feel as if you're missing out because action gets all the cool toys and B) tighter storytelling, for love of god because story was just kinda there in the first game. I imagine voiced Corvo will help with this, but they still need a better story delivery method.
New article today on game informer. There might be some first screenshots.
>>336473552
So, pretty much no backlash then, OK
>>336473036
I don't remember it ever switching to third person, not for take-outs, not for powers, not for stealth, not for climbing ladders.
Also, I can only recall like two cutscenes.
God, I wish Eidos Montreal would take not. Dishonored's worldbuilding for me is just eh. It's not like they didn't put effort into it,but it can't get me excited. But the new DX games are just so full of gameplay shit I don't like that I have trouble enjoying them too.
Well, maybe if they make a Dishonored game in not-Russia or not-Akavir.
>>336473552
You're mistaking regular shitposting that follows any announcement with actual players caring about something. Biggest complaint about her is the manjaw she has going on.
>>336473495
>>336473308
>>336473147
Well it does have the fucking boat cutscenes before and after every mission, which really don't help the flow, but everything else is optional.
>>336473164
It is now.
>>336473513
I really appreciate your dedicated autism man, keep it up.
May be make some webms of your own to repost them in these threads
>>336473036
Why would people comment on a game they knew nothing about?
>>336473797
World building was actually really really good in Dishonored. Everything felt coherent, nothing was designed just to "look cool". It felt mechanical
>>336473149
Except that portrait of Corvo isn't fan art and you should look at the concept art they had for him; they were gonna make him even more dashing.
Plus Bethesda faces are laughable.
>>336473646
>Really, main things they need to learn and incorporate is A) make stealth more fun and not so you feel as if you're missing out because action gets all the cool toys
god i went a pretty much full stealth run and i noticed how many cool weapons i got and thought i never got to use ANY OF THEM THIS IS JUST LIKE METAL GEAR SOLID 4
>>336473935
Where do you think we are?
>>336473941
I know, this is why I'm disappointed that it does nothing for me. I don't really know why, maybe just my utter despise of Victorian inspired settings.
>>336473874
Oh.
There's a map.
>>336473871
it's not even a manjaw, she simply has a very angular face. then again everyone has exaggerated features and proportions in dishonored to some degree. she has to be self-aware so she's wearing a cowl to hide it. poor thing.
>>336473871

I did post them a while back in webm threads. I got a heavy backlash on them saying that i was bad and a shit player. This went on for a few threads until i stopped posting them.
>>336474034
Even still as long as its not the in game, most of the concept makes most of the men look fine
>>336474323
>I wanna fuck that jawline
>>336455614
yea
looks cool
The first game was great, the DLCs leagues better. Arkane definitely seems to have learnt from their games. They're a good dev team, and I'd trust them with a new game
>>336474670
>implying this looks like emily
Her head has sharp angles, probably to show that she was royalty
>>336474670
>gives her a mustache instead
>>336474837
>Penn Gilette plays Dishonored.webm
>>336474664
he looks like that in game
Kinda, yeah.
If they make sure to nerf blink and make the game longer than the first one, I'm sure it'll be great.
>>336461197
>tfw you lose out on all this shit doing low chaos
>tfw only playthrough so far was going non-lethal, undetected, and for the achievement for not using any other powers
I feel like I've missed 90% of the game.
>>336474670
Yes looks the same
>>336475112
In game feels more exaggerated and dirty
>>336474837
Does this always work? I never understood how to make enemies respond well to my attacks while stunned
>>336455614
Not really, only dlcs about Daud were cool
I
>>336475315
Oh wait he's not stunned. My bad
>>336475130
You missed out on a lot but the challenge of blink only low chaos is a lot of fun
Its fun to run through the game murdering people without having to worry about anything and usng crazy powers that give you new ways to go through levels
>>336462259
In a level like Lady Boyle's party yeah, it's good (guest taking a nap), but knocking out a guard who's on duty on and having his commanding officer tuck him in is not.
Yes.
But more importantly, will there be a Corvo/Emily romance?
I quite like her distinctive facial features
they could've just given her a genericly pretty face like Corvo's grizzled-stubble look, but they made her distinct and interesting
she's just a cool looking character, and I don't mind having to choose between who to play as because i know im going to play it multiple times.
>>336472936
If the Empress was married, the husband was never mentioned.
>>336466763
>but still could we all stop memeing?
No
>>336472936
Did her mom even have a husband ?
I never saw a mention of an emperor it was always an empress.
>>336475230
They should bring her nose down a little closer to her upper lip so she doesn't look 40
>>336475489
>nocking out a guard who's on duty on and having his commanding officer tuck him
>>336455928
>>336472463
Are you sure about that? The writer of this game rallied against removing the rape scene on Hotline Miami 2, it's fucked from arrival
>>336475725
And yet was lead writer or one of the writers in Dark Messiah
While this can be seen as something really rare this days,she knows that her believes should not influence her work
>>336474670
Nice strawman though
>>336475984
I'm still not buying it, her involved it's a fucking red flag for me, how she even got this job? She a fucking games journalist
>>336470873
>there are 6 more marked ones out there not counting delilah and daud
I don't think Granny Rags would make a compelling protagonist, but I could be wrong.
Ok guys, the have the new game informer issue.
Want be to share the pages about Dishonored 2?
>>336476387
Did she even have the mark, and even so, her backstory could be interesting before she went mad
>>336476040
what a goddess
>>336473875
finally booted up my pc. posting some oldies.
>>336476560
do it faggot
>>336476387
Not sure she had the mark. Corvo, Emily, Daud, Kid from the prequel short (dead) are the only confirmed I think
>>336455853
I don't think it doesn't warrant a sequel.
As much as I enjoyed the first game it wasn't so special that I fear a sequel could potentially tarnish it, if anything I'm hoping that it will fix all the little things that didn't quite work.
So seeing as Corcoran have Emily the sword is he going to be more focused on firearms and powers
>>336476701
Is this infinite mana from a mod or something?
Those long jumps are cool though
>>336455614
>For Dishonored 1, what we wanted to do was set up this large world for you, the player, to explore. We focused it in Dunwall for the first game, and had you pretty close to the centers of power. In subsequent games, there are a great many different lands to explore, and new characters to introduce far from the capital. I think this is but the start of a great franchise, and we can't wait to show you what else exists in this amazing world
>Five years later
>LOL JUST KIDDING YOU PLAY THE EMPRESS AND SHE'S AN ASSASSIN TOO AND THERE'S A NEW PLOT IN DUNWALL TO HAVE YOU KILLED! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Why do they always lie? Why do they always have to lie? I would have literally played anything else in the whole world but a continuation of the Emily/Empress story line. A dumb fucking decision.
>>336476630
>>336476806
She was.
>>336475676
There were emperors.I thought it was heavily implied that Corvo fugged the empress during the Fugue Feast but last time I mentioned this on /v/ people disagreed with me.
I hope they give non-lethal more options this time around.
>>336465265
>The second game looks interesting but it won't have the character motivation of wanting to rescue his daughter and get revenge for his lover.
Good? Not everything needs to be about a parent saving their kid/adopted daughter figure.
>>336477072
Its almost outright stated in the secret room
>>336476995
The city from the trailer doesn't look like Dunwall.
Also: a vague statement made five years before the game's reveal isn't a promise, and even if it was not every discrepancy is a "lie". Maybe they wanted to create new stuff, but they had to make some concessions in order to get their game approved.
>>336476968
yeah. Basically it makes the game a lot more fun to experiment with. If you're into technical tricks and gameplay I recommend using an infinite mana cheat and the ultimate difficulty mod on very hard. It makes all the enemies in an area agro at once.
>>336466359
If true that really sucks. It would have been cool to have Corvo fill the mentor role.
>>336476934
>corvo
ffs
>>336466319
I hate when games do this desu. I'd rather they focus around one campaign than two watered down ones.
>>336477728
Thanks lad.

To clarify, it's not technically rocket jumping. It's the grenades bumping into your back while you're jumping. The explosion doesn't actually hit you, if you do it right.
>>336477951
Have fun bruh. Some of this shit is hard though. Requires practice, but when you can get it consistantly it's amazing.
explanations here: https://sites.google.com/site/darkwavestyle/games-research/dishonored
I should also mention I have a mod that combines infinite mana, cheap ammo and no ammo limit, and cheap skills, with ultimate difficulty mod. It's pretty balanced in my opinion, unless you spam time stop constantly.
I still need to upload it somewhere and link it on that page. I'll do that now.
>>336477680
>can ht time stopped bolts to send them flying in stopped time
>>336477509
The story was told. That arc seems more than finished. The Outsider giving the Empress powers is stupid, and it seems like a cash-in on this new wave of forced-female protagonists.
>>336478272
Ah yes, when I'm getting the second largest empire on the planet in order after a deadly disaster I like to don my mask and go out and deal out justice myself :3
Why not give every King, Queen, Empress, and high-level political figure Outsider Powers then.
So...
Your first playthroughs guys, what will it be?
Mayhem?
Pacifist Stealth?
Lethal Stealth?
>>336478116
>ZA WARUDO

When she took that mask off in the trailer I was taken aback at how ugly she was

>>336479004
Any interaction between objects makes them move in time stop. Like I showed here: >>336478826
3 bolts aimed at eachother and the last one at an enemy's head. Hitting the first bolt will chainreact the last bolt into hitting the enemy.
>>336466789
>first vid
>stealth
>detected sound plays for every enemy
>>336459828
Was this a thing people really complained about? I must have got around ~80 hours out of the game. Did they rush through the game on high chaos and then never replay it?
>>336479057
>everytime I post that
>>336476846
What the fuck are you kidding me
I didn't know you could do half of these things
This stuff is fucking cool anon, keep it up
>>336470739
>Especially a sequel not set on Pandyssian Continent.
Pandyssian Continent is neat and all but Serkonos and Tyvia are way more interesting.
I hope they get rid of the "killing gives you the bad eniding" mechanic. It's dumb to give me all these lethal gadgets/powers and then tell me not to use them. Just make it so the ending is based on how many of your actual targets you kill/spare.
>>336476846
I really gotta replay Dishonored with all the DLC where I go full ZA WARUDO. I never bothered upgrading that the first time I played.

As much as i'm expecting for No Man's Sky to be getting GOTY! And FFXV to not be a game about a pretty boy band!! I am super optimistic!!! Anyone got any meth I can smoke?
Look, we all liked the game.. most of us anyways.. but, adding a second one typically means that fans will be stuck up your ass to premulch the shit. It's not like the second game of another has every gone wrong.. in this day in age.. I wonder how much microtransaction stuff they'll put in it..

Lame! They could have spent that time designing more missions in Serkonos.
>>336458363
>>336479527
She's gonna keep it anytime she's talking to anyone that isnt Corvo or their other allies because she doesnt want anyone to know who she is

>>336470624
>>336472376
By that definition what makes any other game where you kill everyone not a stealth game?
>>336455614
This looks so neat.
HYYYPE
>>336481883
Stealth games have specific goals of infiltration and retrieval/target eliminaton
Killing everyone without being seen can be part of a stealth gmae whereas other games it doesnt matter who sees you
>>336477728
>After each mission in Dishonored, Corvo returned to the Hound Pits Pub. The sequel has a similar mechanic, but instead of going to a mainland hub, either Emily or Corvo take up residency in a smuggler's freighter known as the Dreadful Wale
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
>>336476040
Looks fucking disgusting. Do you just like anything that looks like a woman upon a passing glance?
>Harvey Smith
Blunder confirmed.
>>336479050
I'm gonna play as Nonlethal Corvo in one level and then as Nonlethal Emily on that same level in a different save file. Hopefully there will be enough non-lethal options to differentiate the two by the end in a big way.
Then I might go Full Chaos Massacre if I like the game enough. I replayed Dishonored a few times, so I could see myself doing it again.
>>336482090
>specific goals of infiltration and retrieval/target eliminaton
So walking in the front door and muderizing everyone as you go is considered infiltration now? Not to mention that "target elimination" seems like it could easily apply to, say, killing bosses.
>>336482995
He fucked up astronomically bad with that piece of shit, but I've forgiven him for it when he made Dishonored.
>>336477882
Not sure how I feel about voiced Corvo. I thought him not talking made him pretty terrifying sometimes. As long as he doesn't give monologues whenever you execute key characters I guess it's fine.
>>336455928
Well, Emily sure looks like a dyke tomboy.
>>336483448
>tomboys are bad now
>>336483504
I meant that in an awesome way
>>336483550
Then you are a man of good taste
WHEN WILL THEY MAKE A MISTBORN GAME
>>336477352
>If your design is weak, you will fail and your graphics won't save anything
Neat. Keeping my hype in check though, but it's nice that it isn't completely set in Dunwall.
>>336480349
Nah, that's gay. If you're going to massacre all these people and spread fear and disease throughout the city during a crisis then you should get the appropriate end. Besides, they don't tell you not to use your powers and gadgets, you just get the high chaos ending. Do you really see that as punishment?
>>336455614
will turn out to be sjw shit so no
