Dishonored is a game published by Bethesda and produced by Arkane Studios set to launch next week.




I'm excited and apprehensive about this game. I want it even though I can't really say it's "my" type of game, it's more bloodier than games I usually play. I think the stylized approach from the graphics will help ease that to me. I'm also apprehensive because I don't want the plot to fall flat on it's face at sometime, or for to the game play - and what looks like a vast amount of combat strategies - to taper off as the game goes on to create a stagnant game. It looks like the game by and large takes place in a single city, so that may not speak well for the longevity, either.

I don't know if I'll run out and buy it, but if the first user reviews come back positive I might pick it up.

Yes I've been following this since E3. It seems very original, although I get a very "Bioshock" vibe from it, which probably just stems from the art style and Victorian era.
Actually I think I remember a Youtuber saying it was "Bioshock meets Assassins Creed meets Mirrors Edge" - probably not far off the mark there.

What seems really interesting is the way you can mix and match the spells in unique effects. Like spawning rats, throwing a bomb on a rat, possessing the rat - and then driving it towards a group of people.

I'll be buying it - at the very least it will tide me over until Bioshock Infinite.

I ended up buying this when it came out. I'm underwhelmed. I think it is a beautiful game and has some very fun aspects to it, but for the most part I'm playing BioShock again.

Well that's disappointing. It isn't my type of game to begin with, that might've put the nail in the coffin.

Played it. Exited to windows every time I died because I'm a casual and forgot no auto saves and sneaking around took forever. Whenever I came back I just decided I would kill everyone instead of sneaking past them. I heard you get a different ending if you kill too many people but I'm too casual for that ending, also the combat is too fun to pass up.

Time stop is pretty broken. You can just use it and teleport past a crowded room between every ones line of sight.

Finished on both high chaos and low chaos pretty fun game but not nearly as much replay value as they said it would.

Also the storyline was not as powerful as Bioshock's by any stretch.
