Is Game Informer worth buying as a magazine?
The DLC are optional, you won't miss much, the DLCs story is uninteresting and while there are a couple of interesting levels on it, they aren't all that much better than the ones on the campaign. The DLCs use some extensive copy pasting from the main campaign too, some entire levels are just modified versions of the campaign levels. While I enjoyed the new levels, you will feel a strong feeling of deja vu playing them, you will do fine just sticking to the original game and ignoring the DLC.Didn't played much the first one (lost focus to another title).
Then went back later only to find that I need to buy game again, in GotY, because DLC cost more than basic game. Lost interest somewhere here.
They are talking of adding more ways for enemies to counter your powers like that overseer machine, at least they are aware the game is unbalanced on the easy side, what is something coming from an AAA developer, but if they are willing to actually make your life more difficult... we will see.I'd wish they don't make you super OP like in the first game, but when has a sequel to a game post-2007 ever been more complex than its predecessor?
It's funny how the one recent game that you aren't white knighting around here is the one that most Codexers apparently like.:DNever understood the appeal of dishonered. Tried it. Hated it with all my heart. So banal boring shit, it oozes through. Really a bland experience.
Eh.
One of my major fears is that they will nerf the powers.
Hope not, "Be a cuck and the universe will conspire at your favour!" was fucking annoying, I understood they tried to add some reactivity to the gameplay but there are better ways to do it.Do you need to play as a pussy again for the "good" endings?
Not only visuals and atmosphere but even details likeBehead those who dislike The Brigmore Witches
(Seriously, any Thief fan should play it just because its final level is the closest you will ever get to a Thief Pagan level
When people talk about first game being to easy, they always focus on powers instead of how other elements weren't able to balance them out.One of my major fears is that they will nerf the powers.
O_o
there is a reason why a guy with fucking time-stop abilities was the final boss of Stardust CrusadersOne of my major fears is that they will nerf the powers. It was powers like blink and slowing/stopping of time IN COMBINATION with layouts and placement & behavior of AI that made first game too easy, not powers on their own. They should work on level design and improved AI that would balance out the powers, instead of following the easy route and limiting the powers.
This, they should have built the game around the movement rather than combat.Although the combat was horribad, the movement in Dishonored is fucking fantastic. I really enjoyed it playing it like Thief.
I will second that the DLC is prob the best part of the game.
No, to get the totally bad ending you have to act like a mass murderer in every mission. If you play with a thief-like style, occasionally killing some dudes or killing only the target, the chaos level will remain low. You can do a no-kills no-powers ghost playthrough.I heard that when you poke someone too much, and he die, you get bad ending where everything turn into shit. Found that funny but it's that true? Or bit exaggerating?
Is ghosting ever possible (without powers or not)?
Dishonored 2 Taps Vocal Talent From Game of Thrones, Daredevil, And The Wire
The original Dishonored had no shortage of voice acting talent, tapping big names like Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking), Lena Headey (Game of Thrones), and John Slattery (Mad Men) to bring its characters alive. The sequel is promising an equal commitment to quality with a new bevy of familiar voices from Hollywood, television, and even classic games in the stealth action lineage.
