whoareyaaa Posted 9 October 2012 Share Posted 9 October 2012 Anyone thinking of getting this, looks very good and is getting high reviews out on the 12th of October. Welcome to Dunwall, a city where steampunk technology meets the mystic arts. Welcome to Dishonored. Dishonored is an exciting twist on the first-person action genre, offering a variety of powers and weapons in place of the traditional shooting. Once the bodyguard for the empress you were framed for her murder, and now use your abilities to seek revenge, and expose the darkness within the city. Dishonored boasts a flexible combat system that means you can play the game as a stealthy assassin or an aggressive killer. This challenges you to improvise and be creative with the powers and weapons you use, from teleportation, to possession, to stopping time itself. And each choice you make will affect the world around you, and the way you move through that world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToeKneeHandCock Posted 9 October 2012 Share Posted 9 October 2012 Yep, I've been looking forward to this for ages. Think I'll be stealthing it first time round. Looking forward to possessing a few rats and sneaking up on people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 9 October 2012 Share Posted 9 October 2012 Yes this is on the hit list. This, RE6 (which is superb so far) and Assassins Creed 3. Must buys IMO. Then it all goes quiet until Bioshock and Dead Space 3 next year. Reviews are decent and praise the open gameplay. However, there are only nine missions and someone is boasting that they beat the game in four hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altough a lot of these people who complete the game fast either rush through it or play the whole game in one day, which is pretty pointless. Halo 4 ?

I read that it can take 12-14 hours if you rush through it and anything up to 28 hours if you take your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sounds of it your dumped in 9 different sand boxes and given a target to eliminate, whack the difficulty down to easy and blast your way through each one in 30 - 40 minutes its probably possible, totally defeats the object like.

MC Prussian Posted 10 October 2012 Share Posted 10 October 2012 Dishonored has different difficulty settings, so it gives everyone a decent challenge. Didn't hear an awful lot about this game beforehand, it sort of sneaked its way onto the scene through the back door, but the reviews are very favorable in general. Watched both the reviews on Gamespot and IGN and, as a consequence, have put this on my to-buy list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 11 October 2012 Author Share Posted 11 October 2012 downloaded this for the PC last night, hooked up the 360 controller and had it playing on through the TV. Very impressed with the game so far played about an hour although as my laptop isn't made for gaming so it lags up a bit, will be buying the 360 version tomorrow.

Finnegan Posted 12 October 2012 Share Posted 12 October 2012 Preloaded this last night on Steam, be giving it a blast this evening before my train. Gameplay E3 videos were awesome, hopefully it stands up Any idea the estimate hours of gameplay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToeKneeHandCock Posted 12 October 2012 Share Posted 12 October 2012 Any idea the estimate hours of gameplay? Anything form 12-28 hours apparently depending on your approach and how thorough you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morris1234 Posted 13 October 2012 Share Posted 13 October 2012 Very good this. No chance of rushing through it! I hope the story picks up tho. Still on one of the first missions. Little slow but it'll get there. Expected the giving of the powers thing to be completely different because of one of the trailers but we shall see.

MrSpaM Posted 16 October 2012 Share Posted 16 October 2012 Anything form 12-28 hours apparently depending on your approach and how thorough you are. Your having a laugh it's ten hours max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToeKneeHandCock Posted 16 October 2012 Share Posted 16 October 2012 Your having a laugh it's ten hours max I guess it's what you make of it. I've played 2 missions so far and have played about 4 hours so guess you must be taking a less stealthy approach. There's a few extra side missions to be found too.

Finnegan Posted 16 October 2012 Share Posted 16 October 2012 I explore everything thoroughly and take all the sidequests I can. I've played about ninety minutes I think and I've only just gotten blink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToeKneeHandCock Posted 16 October 2012 Share Posted 16 October 2012 I explore everything thoroughly and take all the sidequests I can. I've played about ninety minutes I think and I've only just gotten blink. I'm the same. I'll try and find all ammo, resources etc available. There's several ways to approach each mission and several routes that can be taken, especially when you get Possesion. There's also several runes and bone charms on each mission and it's worth getting as many as possible early on to unlock powers sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 16 October 2012 Share Posted 16 October 2012 Indeed. At the end of the day I just want as much value out of my money as possible. I'm essentially planning to play this twice, first as a complete psychotic and then as non lethal as possible once I get a feel for the controls.

Legend_in_blue Posted 16 October 2012 Share Posted 16 October 2012 I will get this after AC3. Simple fact is RE6 is taking longer than expected... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwell Pablo Posted 18 October 2012 Share Posted 18 October 2012 Played a couple of hours last night, good, clear to see where it's infleunces come from though (Half Life 2, Theif, Bioshock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 19 October 2012 Author Share Posted 19 October 2012 Got this yesterday played about 3 hours last night very impressed so far, keeps you wanting to play more which is good. One thing I was wondering are you able to take off the arrows which lead you to everything ? I think it would be better if I had to find everything myself? I've got it on Hard mode currently.

Think I'm coming up to the last legs though It's not until you finish this that you realise how many ways it can go, and how different you can play the whole thing! Unlike some I thought the ending was good and even in this, it emphasises my point at the re play value. So I'd suggest saving and replaying the last level in particular! Awesome!

Yeah, they're in the options menu, there's a whole section for the interface so you can turn on and off the icons for various stuff seperately. Played a couple of hours last night, good, clear to see where it's infleunces come from though (Half Life 2, Theif, Bioshock) Wouldn't say its a problem that its clearly been influenced by some classics, personally. Its amazing in the way it takes exactly the right ideas from the right souces, then ties them together so well and with its own style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
