Dishonored 2
How our strong girl growing up? Is she prepared to get SFMed?
this looks fucking horrible.
ez mode confirmed?
That looked boring and easy as fuck. Hopefully the real thing will be better.
oh boy another stealth game where all the upgrades and fun shit is done by entering combat
...
No user, they blew it by making "ghost" playtroughs skip 80% of the "fun" game offers
Dishonored was pretty decent as a stealth game, but it had some pretty serious problems. Some of those were achievements and events that punished you for having fun with the powers, no light mechanic for determining if you were hidden or not, and the game just generally not being fleshed out enough were just a few. I greatly doubt any of this will be improved in the sequel. In fact I can make a pretty good case that it will be in every way worse than the original.
The absence of a light meter was alright, since being in the dark only made you marginally more hidden, and even then only at a distance. I also don't think ghosting was particularly bad, but the way they tried to make the "low-chaos" (i.e., non-violent) route give you the "good ending" was definitely retarded, in that it felt like it was supposed to punish people for using all the cool lethal tools in the game.
