    I pre-ordered from Amazon for the Xbox. Looks excellent but I'm a little worried about the depth of the gameplay and missions. But with the kind of pedigree it has, it's hard to not get excited about it.

    Aye, that's my point.

    Does anyone else think these are reminiscent?
    Half Life 2 / Dishonoured

    Half Life 2 / Dishonoured

    Don't get me wrong; there are a few Unreal engine games that look the same; and also, the more I see gameplay the more excited I am for Dishonoured; just that, when I saw it first, it actually looked like a mod for HL2, reusing the same in-game assets / models, etc...

    Art Director/Concept Artist for Half Life 2 - Viktor Antonov is working on Dishonoured as its Visual Design director. Hence why there are similarities between the two.

    Really fun game! Takes a little bit of experimenting and playing around with things to get into the swing of it, but it is really rewarding. An awful lot you can do in it as well. I'm not a stealth player, but I enjoyed exploring a little bit and possessing people to ramble around. Thankfully the swordplay works really well if push comes to shove.

    🤪

    Not really I read an interview with a developer or designer a while back where he described it as structured more around Deus Ex or Thief style levels than a full open world.

    Surprised at the lack of interest in this game, seems to be a complete lack of marketing as well. I mentioned it to a friend who's probably even more into gaming than I am and he's never even heard of it, immediately interested when I explained it though so there's definitely a market they're missing out on. Definitely hoping to pick it up but as with all games I'll wait for some user reviews before spending €50 on it

    On the fence about this one at the moment, seems like rental / price drop material but had a look at the achievement list there..... I know I know but some of us like those but they are very focused on being unlocked for playing the game a certain way which I really hate, they are very similar to deus ex. It's a 2 play minimum for 100% from the looks of it.

    Every thing I've seen so far leads me to believe it's a poor mans but better looking BioShock :confused:

    This game is €26(pc version) pre-ordered from gamestop.ie, pretty much budget game pricing.

    I pre-ordered on steam a few days ago. I've seen very little advertising for it (apart from the huge billboards for it in Cologne during GDC). Everyone who's played it have been positive tho.

    It looks great , definately a mix of a few genres and styles , and games.
    Bit of Bioshock mixed in there, with maybe some Deus Ex and some other games which allow sneaking. Like , a supernatural-steampunk-deus-ex , with augments replaced by powers.

    Definately looks like you could do a lot of missions in a lot of different ways.

    Will be interesting to see if it's as good as it looks on the gameplay video's and trailer.

    I'm hoping it turns out good, I need a new FPS that shakes it up a bit and this one looks promising.

    Would you really classify this as an FPS?

    First review score has leaked out.
    9.5 from CVG

    Pro's
    Praised its excellent setting.
    Lots of freedom.
    Stealth and action mechanics work equally well.

    Con's
    Story lacks focus.
    Bit of a slow burner.

    Some reports that the game was completed in under 4 hours by people who got there hands on a leaked copy.

    well i dont really care if the story lacks focus so long as the gameplay is good. you could never accuse stalker of having a focused or direct story and I'm still over 600 hours playtime over the last few years

    same for slow burner, another "criticism" that could be levelled at stalker or any number of excellent games. half life 1 hardly started with balls to the wall action.

    completion inunder 4 hours is kinda wtf though. I guess even if it's a short enough game, if it's good enough there will be enjoyment in replaying it and doing things differently each time.
    plus mods.

    beautiful beautiful mods.

    Yea, the 4 hour completion, I'm sure younger a good bit of replay value from the game.

    To be fair Calex - and I know you're a fan of achievements - I don't think a game that sells itself as offering choice and player freedom should be criticised before launch because of its achievement list. If a game plays well, tries something different and creates a new & interesting world (which this game seems to, although I'm still on the fence until I hear reviews and player reports) then they are far, far more important determiners of quality than the gamerscore requirements.

    I'm not particularly worried by that tbh. I know if I get it I'll spend ages looking at the different ways of getting in and out of places, etc, etc. There are a ton of games you can absolutely fly through if you know exactly what you're doing.

    People complained about Portal 2 after finishing it in a few hours. Of course to do that you have to ignore most of what makes the game special rushing from puzzle to puzzle.

    I'd call bull on the 4 hour thing. A guy at Bethesda reported taking 22 hours to complete the main story line with out doing all the side quests and knowing the solutions to all the puzzles and assassinations.
    Was the same with Borderlands 2.Some people were saying they maxed out to lvl 50 in a couple of hours ,which after the game actually came out, anyone can see that ,that's fairly impossible.You'll always get idiots making absurd claims before every one else gets their hands on the game.The amount of times I've come across crap players on cod at low ranks saying they were 20th prestige but got reset....

    Sure wasn't there speed runners who finished Fallout 3 and Skyrim in 20 minutes or something mental like that. I do hope its a good 20 hours all the same, all the more you can replay through

    Dark Souls takes on average 40 hours to complete but there are vids out there doing it in an hour.

    When I read slightly odd playtimes like that, I just assume they're real, but done by ADD types who try for speedruns more than having a fair playthrough. and on Easy too I bet. I'd not be surprised if the main questline took about 4-6 hours. Heck, skyrims main quest prob took about that long
