In Dishonored, the developers use their industrial design knowledge and create a whole new world. The imagination that goes into the architecture is to make gamer’s believe in this world being possible. Some of you might not know, but Dishonored is set in a fictional city called Dunwall. It is a steampunk city with a non photo realistic art style, which gives the whole game a dark tone. It is a gloomy, futuristic setting that has you watching your back at all times. I mean you are playing a character that is wanted for an assassination that he didn’t commit. I always admired the ability to take something normal and turn it into something grand or abnormal, which forces people to just ask, “How did you come up with that?” I usually just state that, “It is a natural thing for an artist to make something simple and...

I'm loving this game and I can't wait to do my Getting Caught Up and first opinion piece on it this week.

MattyG4299d ago (Edited 4299d ago )

Have you already played it or do you mean you love what you've seen so far?

HiddenMission4299d ago

I mean loving everything thing I've seen so far

MattyG4299d ago

@HiddenMission Oh ok. Yeah I can't decide between this and AC3. It's a tough call.

SavageKuma4299d ago

I am going to still go with AC 3 because that was the AC I was waiting for.

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

Abnor_Mal488d ago (Edited 488d 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.

sairenfox2099487d 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_Mal487d 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.
