Dishonored - ya or na, its on sale

[tailes151]

Same feeling for myself.

For me it felt too much like it was trying to copy other games' features and combine them without a clear identity of its own. Looked (to me) like it wants to copy Bioshock Inf's graphical style, and wants to be Deus hr/Thief-like with its stealth mechanics.

Dishonored released almost a year before Bioshock Infinite.

I loved the game, have played it through more than once. Stealthy the first time, combative the second. Honestly one of my favorite FPS's of the past 5 years.

Most definitely Ya. Dishonored was a fantastic game.

Fun Fun game. I might buy it again just for the DLC.

This got a lot more 'Ya' votes than I expected. It was mediocre gameplay wise and had a moronic story (at least, the parts I could get through). I just couldn't get into it. It wasn't great stealth wise and it wasn't great combat wise.

Gotta disagree with you. It managed to be fun whether you played it stealth or combat focused. It ran well and looked nice too.

I am a huge fan of stealth games, so I might be a bit bias on that. I just hated the stealth. It felt like I was playing Oblivion. It wasn't as bad as "let me crouch and nobody can see me!", but it was pretty close. Also, demons? It ran good and looked alright, I just found the gameplay to unengaging. I couldn't get into it. I tried on multiple occasions and just couldn't get past the first hour and a half or so each time. For what it's worth, I felt the exact same about Dues Ex: HR. I never made it past the second mission in that one.

Yes this sounds like me. It's like on paper I should love these games but I don't. Maybe it's the npcs. With deus ex I felt like after 10 minutes I had the game on lockdown. It's like yep I see the games pattern . It's gonna be more of this for another 60 hours. Meh.

That's the problem with stealth games . I've got a serious love hate with them. Thief deadly shadows was the last one I liked and we'll I just found parts of that game uttterly hilarious otherwise these games stopped doing it for me already.

This thread almost convinced me to give dishonored another shot. Maybe the game just completely takes off and I gave up on it too quick.

Not sure why you thought the art style resembled Infinite's, but Dishonored came out in 2012. Infinite came out in 2013.

I can see that, but how you use the mechanic to solve the puzzles is kind of the point. Additional guard types also ramp up the difficulty later on.

I say nay because it is Zenimax and Zenimax is money grubbing lawyer scum (frivolous lawsuit against Oculus Rift after they got bought by Facebook).
