Fuck, I'm still to play that fuckbucket in order to settle an internet debate on whether it's good or not.
Spoiler alert: The intro part I've played so far suggests the absence of that "good" part.

Well, at least one thing I can say so far, regarding IW vs HR debate, in all of HR intro (pre and post-aug) I didn't encounter any characters I could consider clinical idiots. In the very short space of IW intro, all I encountered seemed to be clinical idiots.
My completionist urges drove me to complete IW. Atrocious motherfucking shit.
For what it's worth, I didn't even manage to complete HR.

It is truly awful. It is NOT as bad as you think it is (but boy when they do BAD game design they REALLY do bad game design). Just out of sheer morbid curiosity I was actually able to finish it. But to be honest, I should have just watched a youtube LP.

Well the resolution really isn't helping, plus I really hate it when people in films/books/games are morons when they shouldn't be and so far everyone's just being a fucking moron. "Hey yeah, look, we spied on you but that's okay, here, have some biomods, they'll apply themselves to your various bodyparts!"
And that's by far not the worst thing so far. The jock and the cheerleader students? The guard that just gives you a weapon because hey, you asked, and he TOTALLY can't do it alone despite you being a recently transferred trainee and him being supposedly trained for this shit... Yeah, it's really quite dire so far. I'm sure it'll improve later on but seriously, WHY.
Also, that resolution is killing my eyes.
Oh and the constant loading. I thought people exaggerated this but man oh man.
I finished IW and it was... okay, I guess. It was more a case of wasted potential than outright shit, but that just made it worse, actually. There's often attempts at good area design, but they fall flat due to the horribly horribly small levels (fuck you, Xbox, fuck you and the decline you brought upon Deus Ex and Thief!) that don't leave any room for real exploration and alternative ways. They tried to add alternate paths to the goal in each level - but usually those are blatantly obvious due to the levels being so tiny that there's no chance for real exploration.
This is the worst issue with DX:IW, really. Horribly fucking tiny maps that feel linear despite the devs trying to make them not linear, because they're so small that they cannot be anything but linear.

Thanks, now I'll only want to gouge out my eyes because of character stupidity.

Hurr Thief is unrealistic cuz when you are in a dark shadow at night and aren't making noise but maybe just maybe there's a lighter background behind you you can't be seen
Hurr we fixed that. Now you can't be seen in broad daylight when crouching and leaning from behind some chest high wall

I don't get his argument about why a stealth game needs a story.
The Rageaholic is pretty much the definition of an IGN-user. I'm not sure why we're still discussing him.

Discussion? I don't see any discussion.
I like how he always end up with that retarded "god-fucking-speed" line, to clear any doubts that he is a douche.
At least he is spot on with regards to the narrative of Dishonored.

GTA Vice City is good but it's the compelling storytelling that keeps you playing.
Why the fuck hasn't this been retardo'd yet?

He didn't like the game.
End of discussion.
(Oh, you want us to analyze everything what he said, and for us to give constructive opinion about his new video).
The guy likes Invisible War. Just let it be man... let it be.
