This isn't really an open honest peek examining the good and the bad. This sounds like someone who wasn't in the right frame of mind to fully evaluate something.

Summons754368d ago

I don't know where the hype is coming from other than having BEthesda's name on it. The game visually looks like crap and has a terrible art style, is trying to hard to play like bioshock but can't, and from watching demos the gameplay seems still and unresponsive (although until I can play it I can't confirm that one), the plot also seems bland and poorly written.

Honestly it seemed like a great concept when it was first announced but after seeing gameplay this quickly turned into a bargin bin purchase when it drops to twenty bucks a couple of weeks after it releases, probably be 20 bucks for black friday.

Locksus4367d ago (Edited 4367d ago )

"Trying too hard to play bioshock but can't" Hurr durr you haven't even played the game and the art style is purely subjective and a lot of people like it. The plot seems bland and poorly written? Oh, so you did play it already? From the videos we've been shown, there has been hardly any plot at all.

Troll harder.

Also, how can you tell if the controls are unresponsive or not if you haven't played it?

Summons754367d ago (Edited 4367d ago )

well controls looks slow plain and simple. and if they fail to draw me into the story with a trailer then there is a 99% chance that it will be a terrible story, them barely showing anything proves that alone. Especially with the game being less than 4 hours long. Your right about the art style, that is subjective but the graphics look like a ps2 gone wrong. I'm not troll at all, I am simple pointing out everything that I have noticed from following this game.

Your the troll by telling me that I can not have an opinion based off of what I have seen of the game.

digitalkid4367d ago

Then let me remind you, that Dark Souls is 1 hour game, and MGS is 3 hour game, 'couse it's time spent on walkthrough. ;)

Still waiting this and XCOM, and only two days left!)

Locksus4367d ago

@Summons75

I'm not telling you that you shouldn't have opinions. But how in the earth can you judge the controls of the game without trying them first? As for the PS2 graphics, are you sure you've even seen the graphical fidelity of PS2 games? If you think this game looks like a PS2 game then I can say with certainty that you haven't played any PS2 games or have first-hand experience from playing this game.

telekineticmantis4367d ago

, it seems like my kind of game, but the gameplay they've shown, just makes the combat look incredibly easy, and either they've shown nothing about the story or I've missed it, but so far the story doesn't seem to be much of a focus.

I'll wait to see more.

ab5olut10n4367d ago

I wasn't feeling it before and this reinforces it

fallensniper774367d ago

@summons75 dude get a life already, you've talked shit on literally every dishonored article. If you hate the game that much stop reading about it

Arkane Co-Founder Says Dishonored and Prey Fans 'Will Be Happy' With His Next Game

WolfEye Studios president and co-founder of Arkane Studios Raphaël Colantonio has said Dishonored and Prey fans “will be happy” with his new studio's next game.

Marcus Fenix44d ago

Can’t wait to see what they’re working on

Relientk7744d ago

If it's something like Dishonored, then I am totally here for it.

TheNamelessOne44d ago

Let's hope. Their first game, Weird West, really wasn't my thing.

Miacosa44d ago

Ouch, already placing a sales cap on this is potentially bad as these games never seem to sell all too well. Hopefully the budget is in check so no one gets laid off after launch.

Psychonaut8544d ago

Fuck yeah. Even if it’s just a spiritual successor I want more titles like Dishonored in terms of art style, design and gameplay

Avowed's director says they "don't believe in living in fear" after Microsoft closed studios

"As a developer - and as a player - it's always sad and it always sucks to see studios close and devs lose their jobs. I really hope all those people land on their feet, because I know our indusutry is better with them in it," Patel tells the outlet. "As for me and how I look at things, I guess first and foremost: I don't believe in living in fear," the Avowed director.

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_Mal582d ago (Edited 582d 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.

sairenfox2099580d 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_Mal580d 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.
