If I'm sad about one IP dying off forever, it's Dishonored. Yes I know Arkane became terminally woke, I know even as early as DH2 the symptoms were clear. But there was still hope for honest and awesome game design to triumph over all that shit, as proven by DH2's excellent gameplay. But alas, Arkane is dead. It will never be the same Arkane that made DH1, DH2, Prey.And I think that's sad.
I would be sad... but, I have my reasons for not being sad. I'm sorry for your loss anon.
Why are there so many Dishonored threads recently? Not that I'm complaining, it's one of my favorite games from the early to mid 2010s
>>743335446Arkane got yeeted. This past decade their games sold alright, but not like in a way that you would be impressed with. Microsoft saw all those senior names on staff and was probably like, "I'll get a jeet or chink to do that".
>>743335604It's probably for the best. I wish we got more games in that same universe, there was a lot of potential.
>>743335446Probably because of that recent D1 playthrough series Raphael did.
>>743335446it's one of the real gems of the early 2010s
>>743335446The Hound Pits...home...
>>743334516Dishonored was never good.
>>743337528Nah , it was always good.
>make cool game>follow it up with a completely pointless direct "sequel" that's just a retread of the first game's dlc>kill the ip stone dead with a standalone dlc that just shits all over your own established lore and charactersi have never seen a game company in such a rush to kill their own ip than i have with these games.
>>743338773They could just ignore or retcon the things that are inconvenient. This has never stopped a sequel from being made.
>>743337528The fuck are you smoking? Dishonored 1 was great.
>>743339794Or they could just retcon D2 and DotO all together and make a new Dishonored 2 when they get actual people who know how to make a decent game. Oh and Harvey Smith should get a boot to the jaw.
I only played the first game and its DLCs. It was cool, I loved playing like steampunk Batman.Shame Arkane decided they didn't need me anymore but (((the modern))) audiences.
>>743334516At least the franchise didnt completely go up in flames. Sure the expansion had a black girl that was a cringe DEI choice but at least the gameplay and the setting were still pretty good.Overall, Dishonored ended on a high note rather than going full retard.
>>743334516Do you know that one game where two niggers shooting each other and they woke up the next day and repeat the situation, its called dead- something? Some arkane director said that it was supposed to set in the same universe as dishonored except it took place in distant future. So with the in-universe redditshit like that, i think dishonored 'died' as a franchise would be for something better
>>743339864Nta but I get the criticism behind the fact the game actively punishes you for playing how you want and using more than one ability to beat it. It doesn't even take that much to permafuck your save into high chaos.
>>743334516I would be extremely sad about Dishonored being dead if they hadn't taken a massive dump all over their own lore with Death of the Outsider
>>743339864It's a shitposter. There's always someone saying ________was never good, whenever there is an actuall video game thread on /v/
>>743334516From a stealth gamers perspective like myself Dishonored is overrated. I'd much prefer playing the Styx games or even Nu Hitman for that matter. But i judge it more harshly from the purist perspective of Thief and Splinter Cell primarily and that's my ideal kind of gameplay. Immsim gamers are more focused on whether games are non linear as some really big selling point and insist anything that is linear as bad, Thief fans too for that matter have that same mindset.Or love the idea of their games being the jack of all trades but the master of none. The reasons are it opens up experimental gameplay obviously so you can always find a creative solution to a problem. But the catch is that they fail in any respective field regarding mastery of it. That is true with Dishonored but it wasn't true with Thief since that managed to have purist driven stealth gameplay and pretty much killed your combat safety net as the condition of it. Where i personally think Dishonored fails? barebones mechanics since it couldn't decide whether it was an action game or not and powers that trivialized the gameplay. I mean i could replicate all of my Hitman self imposed challenges that i regularly do just to make Dishonored feel like the game that i want to play. But it's significantly less focused than those games are. It's hard to make it feel like a good stealth game. It's just an action game imo
>>743338773Don't forget how DeathLoop took one final shit on the corpse of Dishonored.
>>743341750You can find random newspapers from Gristol on them. Then at the very end of the game, the nigger girl pulls out a box of dueling pistols which are the pistols from Dishonored.
>>743341750Deathloop. It's a good game.
