so it seems the marketing furore has died down and everyone can see dishonered for the well produced mediocrity it is, non?

[Tuffty]

Non, it isn't. It's a well made game that is engaging and interesting to play, giving me greater moments through exploration and execution of playing stealthily, than another scripted 'hit X to win' setpiece. If you're comparing it to other games of it's type then I still think it holds it's own. I'd much rather that developers take their cues from Dishonored than Call of Duty and make more games like this.

I touched on the issue in the Halo thread but it comes down to people just trying to consume and not actually getting into games for the fun of it.

[Tuffty]

Yeh, I can agree with that. It's easier to do when developers drive the experience with such linearity that you can't even go back the way you came. I don't mind COD esque shooters when they're done well or try something interesting at least, but a game like Dishonored, that gives you this broad environment and lots of interesting tools for you to complete your objective, will always be more enjoyable to me.

Was playing mission 3 a while back in Dishonored, and I was sneaking on a roof wanting to drop down a hatch and into a room below, when I dropped down by accident, landing right in front of the guard. On instinct, just as he pulled out his sword, I drew mine first and struck him on the chin. The force of the impact actually lifted the guard up and through a glass window and he landed ded on the guards patrolling below who I could hear were obviously alerted at that point. It's a moment that I made possible, not some scripted event, and to me that will live longer in the memory than another of this breach and clear a room in slow motion seen in every FPS now.

[Who Really Cares?]

Well its already done over 1M so people are giving it a chance. My mate just picked it up and i plan on getting it and Halo once all my shopping is done.

[Segata Sanshiro Jr.]

These days that a decent success and not a huge one.

For a new IP in its first month I'm sure they are happy

Now seen as a franchise

"I can tell you that Dishonored is far exceeding our sales expectations,"

"We did terrific numbers again this past weekend, both in stores and on Steam, where Dishonored was listed as the #1 selling title over the holiday weekend. And Dishonored has really sold well overseas. So, we’re very pleased and appreciate all the fans that have supported Dishonored and Arkane. We clearly have a new franchise."
