i bought dishonored 2 and started playing it a bit this afternoon. it's pretty good so far!

Both Dishonoreds and Prey are available in a Playstation Store bundle for $25-ish and I just picked them up; I love some immersive sims but never got to any of these so I'm excited

yeah, it's from the era of kiss puppy / kill puppy video game morality design. if you kill everyone the game is gonna get harder and you'll get the evil ending.

I didn't realise that killer swarms of rats are a mechanic in dishonored, so I am doubly incentivised to not kill more than I have to :gonk:

Figuring out the clockwork patrol patterns of guards has been super satisifying so far but it does seem to encourage savescumming for me, which feels cheap

meh it's fine in an imsim imo

yeah if it wasn't it would have gotten the full :rolleyes: from me, but as it is it was more of a "oh, lol, of course the first combination lock you need to figure out is gonna be Funy Imsim Number"

I don't think I fully understand the enemy death mechanic; I thought I went through stealthily enough but at the end of the first level it said I'd killed five dudes, so I went back and replayed it, making sure to, like, put unconscious bodies up on tables away from lurking rats and that seemed to do the job

close, but, ok so there were some people over in America who thought her name was spelled differently

but I think you got it a bit wrong, it was

dang, sounds like dishonored 2 has a lot more interesting powers than the first one - I'm doing a stealth/no kill run for my first playthrough of D1 and there are only a few that really make sense for that style of play

haveblue posted:

yeah it's a fundamental problem with the dishonored model- stealth is easy but simple while loud is fun and varied but hard

plus the fact that the game tells you whether or not you were stealthy and clean just encourages you to aim for that and avoid compromising it
right, exactly, basically any time I get noticed I'm all but forced to do a reload

TontoCorazon posted:

One of these days I'll do a no power run of Dishonored, it's just that the powers are so much fun

I kinda feel like Dark Vision kind of breaks the game; I haven't had to look through a keyhole since the tutorial and the danger of not knowing whether someone was just about to walk through the door until you're right up against it made for some genuinely tense moments

I've been feeling like it's been a crutch for me since the first game. That and double jump.

yeah I feel like if I were to replay it (likely, given how much fun I'm having) I'd probably just not choose that power

double jump, though, is perhaps too satisfying for me not to resist :colbert:
