Dishonored Review
- Thread starter Susan Arendt
- Start date
I love how some people are still saying it's not worth 60 and they are waiting for the price drop. Then they wonder where all the new IPs go when they don't support the developer at the months of the release. The irony.... this is how games like RE6 thrive and games like dishonored fail at launch. I just don't get it... ;(
Also to all people giving the animations flak, look at it this way, if they poured money into it like say what id did with Rage, this game wouldn't do so well. I'll take content, creativity, and birth of ideas, over things like life like animations any day of the week, month, year, interdimension, etc.

Let me put it to you this way - if you know why you as a character are "dishonored," you know the only spoiler in the review. It happens in the first few minutes of the game, but still, I'd rather be overly cautious than hurt someone's experience.erttheking said:
I still find having children slowly and creepily singing a popular song as the backdrop tune for your ad is very pretentious and annoying.
£30 in UK, skyrim was released for £35 and COD titles are done for £40 (all on PC btw). this is on steam as well, i would have thought the pricing is similar worldwide but there we are...Vausch said:
anyway preordered after reading 2 very good reviews, sucks its not released for me til friday =\
£30 is roughly $48. So nope, you're still getting ripped off.Mimsofthedawg said:Yea but, 30 pounds (or is the euro? fucking european crazy monetary system...) is pretty much = to $60. So you should be complaining about "overpriced BS" just as much as us. lol.suitepee7 said:
I too also complain about the retail price of games, but I just had to get this game brand new with the themed Tarot Deck. After reading this review I can hardly wait for Friday!
I find it interesting that so many people are criticizing the game (and Susan's 5/5 review of the game) without having actually played the game.
Guess how much your opinions are worth!*
Personally, I just moved Dishonered from second-to-last to second on my videogames wishlist. I always thought it looked amazing, but I'm wary of pre-ordering new IPs before someone's tried out the controls. Now that people have confirmed the controls are solid, yes.
*Nothing. They're worth nothing. It just makes you look bad, honestly.

the 60 bucks debate isn't going to go anywhere because developers will charge it because they can, and because there is no reason to price their games lower on the market for the work that they put into. If you gave the developer videos a try you will see that the work they supposedly put into it, well justifies the price. The things you mention like marketing, licensing aren't little things, they are neither little things in number nor impact when making a game (phrased it badly) Developers have to make a profit, they can't just work on small returns that can barely pay their own freaking bills. But yes you're right cheap games are a good way of buying things asap for most if not all consumers. Then again 65-66 (US, not Aussie. prices) bucks a month isn't going to break you, if it does then I'm sorry to say that you shouldn't really be in this hobby specifically mainstream gaming. Especially since it's not like deviant games come out every month. I forgot the point I was trying to make, so oh well. Besides games were always expensive whether they were 40-50-60 that situation has not changed, nor for better or worse.Mimsofthedawg said:
Question, is this game ok to play in front of say an 8 year old? I can tell I don't want an 8 year old playing, but watching is different. I can let him watch skyrim for example. But I don't want him playing. Where does this game fall? Cause I have to factor in when I can play to my purchasing decisions.Susan Arendt said:
Oh, eeesh. I'd really be hesitant to play this in front of a young child. Of course, it is possible to get through the game without killing anyone, but even so....much of the game's pleasure (for me, and I imagine for many others) is sneaking up behind someone and knifing them in the neck or slitting their throat. Plus, you can send a swarm of rats to eat someone alive. Now, you don't have to do either of those things. So I guess it depends entirely on if you're willing to alter your play style to make sure he doesn't see anything too untoward.bdcjacko said:
Feasible, but difficult. The game pretty clearly would prefer you to be at least somewhat stealthy, but you can definitely engage in the bloodshed if you'd like. 100% bloody? Eh, I can't say that with certainty, but you're given all sorts of things that go boom.Souplex said:
the current conversion rate is around £1=$1.6 so it works out being £30 to $48. a new console release for consoles in the UK is around £38 which makes $60, so it would seem the US is getting a console price for a PC game. like i said, it is a bit odd that this is the case, and it does suckMimsofthedawg said:Yea but, 30 pounds (or is the euro? fucking european crazy monetary system...) is pretty much = to $60.

Good to know. Since I started living with my gf's son.Susan Arendt said:
Follow up question, would you guys consider adding an age guide to your reviews. While I know games have a rating system on them, it is pretty abstract and I don't know who rates thoughs. On the other hand I know the Escapist body of work and would trust you all better than.
Or do you know of another site that does that already?
