I'm waiting to by the game, with Bethesda's track record I'm waiting till they drop the price, and have patches to fix whatever is broken

DigitalAnalog4206d ago (Edited 4206d ago )

Relax, Bethesda is just publishing the game. I've played it on steam with no problems. The standard UE3 pop-ops for every loading screen is pretty much the norm by now. Just finished the game and it really makes you want to replay the game to try different approaches. Hopefully the reviews would give them the sales deserved for them to start bigger and better projects.

Sucitta4206d ago

have you seen honey boo boo? please watch and enlighten yourself to the average Joe/Voter..

TopDudeMan4206d ago

I just ordered the pc version from amazon for £24.99 and after reading some reviews, that seems like a bargain.

mynameisEvil4206d ago

That's a damn good bargain. Oh, and this is a case of which the PC version is even more amazing. Aside from using hotkeys, which makes things a lot easier, the performance of this game on PC is outstanding. I have 100+ framerates consistently. Ah, now if only Bethesda themselves could make ports as great as Arkane does.

bumnut4206d ago

@ mynameisevil

The performance is outstanding because the graphics are poor.

Good game though

adorie4206d ago

The graphics aren't poor. I don't know why people keep saying that.

They're fine. They're not cutting edge, but they look really nice.

Myscreen can't handle the FPS I get so I have to lock it down with Vsync, without Vsync I can hit over 130 FPS, easily. It is a UE3 game, after all.

As for texture pops, only after loading and is too fast to notice, most of the time.

It's an incredible game, and I haven't encountered any bugs in my 15+ hours with it. There is a big difference between publisher and developer.

finbars754206d ago

I agree i havnt encountered any bugs either on the ps3.The game is awsome and worth every penny.Guys dont be cheap on this one you are getting what you pay for.Just remeber Bethesda didnt make the game they published it Arkane developed the game who were part of the original Bioshock team.Love the art direction and gameplay mechanics so smooth.

Cam9774206d ago

As stated by DigitalAnalog, Bethesda are the publisher and not the developer therefore; the game won't have what makes them infamous.

One of the few games that actually deserves a sequel and there's uncertainty? :(

byeGollum4206d ago (Edited 4206d ago )

Why must almost every game have a sequel? There's enough as it is...

XB1_PS44206d ago

You're right, just give us DLC for the next 5 years, then we'll be happy. /s

paddystan4206d ago

A game should not get a sequel because it's refreshing, good and sells good. For example, none of the endings in Dishonored "wants" a sequel. The entire story ends there. There are no sign og a sequel in the ending. If there will be a sequel, then it's for the money.

Trenta274205d ago

I agree with you on this. The ending showed nothing about a sequel at all, at least not with Corvo. I want to know more about this world, but that's something DLC can accomplish.

wallis4206d ago

It's good that a sequel isn't immediately obvious simply because of success. I like that to them the idea of beating something to death just because it works isn't the reason they're making games and that's great - the problem is that I really like Dunwall. As a game setting it's awesome and I'd hate not to see more of the different cities and other nations. Personally I'd just as happily see the setting open up to other genres or entries. You can revisit a world without making a sequel - so that might be cool.

beerkeg4206d ago

Yeah it has a great setting, I'd love to see more of it. But I respect his attitude, he's not looking at making a franchise out of it, so if that's the end of it so be it.

But I would love a sequel.

MattyG4206d ago

I just hope they don't pull a Bioshock and make a sequel that doesn't live up to it's predecessor.

The Magic of 'Dishonored’s' Blink

It’s a shame, really, that so few games have “borrowed” Dishonored’s Blink – in the right hands, such a power could be game-changing.

It felt kinda cheap to me… both in terms as a tactic, and game design

Abnor_Mal426d ago (Edited 426d ago )

There was a small game called Aragami that “borrowed” the blink, that was a good game.

Unfortunately I heard the sequel wasn’t good so I stayed away from trying it out.

sairenfox2099425d ago

The sequel changed some of the mechanics from the first game but it was still a very polished and enjoyable experience. You should definitely give it a shot sometime. The game's currently on sale on Steam

Abnor_Mal425d ago

Okay thanks for the heads up, will look out for it being on sale one day.

I really did like the first and played it back to back as soon as I finished the first play through.
