Can we have a Dishonored thread? I loved the first one, the second one (I just started) I would say is an improvement at least in gameplay, something about Dunwall and the plague just gave me such a fucking hard-on though. It's also been like 15 years or something?
>>7398769702 has a worse aesthetic. The story is pretty lame. It has a lot more replay value with the bigger maps and more powers/weapons. A lot of people say 1 has better movement, but I don't really feel it. They are a little different but neither feels better or worse.
The game does look great though and I enjoy the style in it's own way. I always love the paintings though.
>>739877090The only powers I used in 1 were blink and the passive one to make bodies dissolve. Literally spent all game hanging out on rooftops and teleporting down to kill guards
I think that first low res shot of the city when you're coming in on the boat kinda killed the initial feel of the city for me.
>>739876970>1st game hints and implies, but never confirms that Corvo is Emily's father with her seeing him as a father figure>2nd game confirms it, make it known to everyone in the game, and keeps hammering the fact that they're both father and daughterI would rather have it kept as a secret that they're related
>>739876970I like how you can mix and match powers in NG+ no matter who you play as. I only played Corvo.
>female protagwokeslop
allowing you to play as Corvo from the beginning was a mistake
>>739877760Retard
I'm guessing you didn't play the Duad expansions from the first game. Stop playing part 2 and play those first
>>739877864No I didn't.
>>739877864Of course I played them first.
>>739877864Hmm. What's worse? Playing the Daud expansions and having Dishonored 2's story ruined by thinking>this bitch AGAIN???Or not playing the expansions and thinking >who the hell is this bitch?
>>739877864the first one is so easily forgettableI beat the game less than a month ago and barely remember it
>>739876970I just simply cannot understand the admiration for Dishonored because i believe that they are weak stealth games. Then again i do not consider myself a fan of immersive sims and only a fan of Thief and stealth games specifically. Apparently it's some of those who rave about Thief that thought this was good despite not having any good mechanics. I thought even Deadly Shadows was miles better and Harvey Smith worked on that. Sometimes i wonder if Thief being primarily a stealth game but with much more stealthing in The Metal Age was almost accidental and thief might not have meant to be associated with that genre given by how it's fans appreciate a barely stealth game like Dishonored. Since Dishonored plays nothing at all like Thief other than potentially sharing some staff from Ion Storm.
>>7398769702 is game that on paper feels like it's better if not at least equal to its predecessor, yet the more you play it, the worse and worse it feels in practice.
Dishonored 2 was the better game.
>>739879656The solution here is that people don't like Dishonored because it's le epic intricate stealth game
I like the levels more in 2, I like Emilys powers but you also get Corvos AND can mix and match. However man the game just feels less interesting because the story and atmosphere got tanked. I have 50 hours in D1 and haven't been able to finish a second playthrogh of D2.
>>739879656Did you consider the games have qualities other than being a stealth game or a thief clone? It has the best art direction of any game maybe ever made, the world and environments are interesting to learn about and explore, the powers are fun to fuck with and the movement is fluid, the stealth mechanics aren't ground-breaking but they are fun.The appeal of dishonored is pretty similar to half-life except half-life is even more reliant on mood and atmosphere and basically has nothing beyond that.
