How will you play Dishonored?

[Daaaah Whoosh]

By the looks of it, Dishonored has taken a page from the Assassin's Creed book by giving the player more than enough weapons and abilities to turn their enemies into so much red mist, so I'll entertain the possibility of some stealth. However, if any foul-mouthed guards get between me and some good old-fashioned exploring, I will not hesitate to stop time and shoot all of them.

I think i may kill one or two targets to keep potential targets in fear, and simply make the rest of them disappear (Like the brothers who you can sell into slavery to work the rest of their lives in their own mines)

i'm not sure how i'll play overall, probably just wing it.


Captcha: Gung Ho, seems fitting since that's pretty much what happens when i plan for stealth (Sneak around a bit, say fuck it, run in guns blazing)

 

[Sight Unseen]

I don't complain about it existing.

My anger with Beth is the mealy mouthed, passive aggressive, and incredibly transparent way they've snubbed PS3 owners over Skyrim.

That's like not buying a Id software game, or a Obsidian game, because Bethesda snubbed you on the PS3.

Your logic makes no sense because you a snubbing an entirely different company that in no way shape or form was related to the actions of the company that snubbed you.

No, it isn't, and by the by, I wont' buy another Obsidian product either since they're connected to Beth. Screw them.

Maybe you should go a step further with this ridiculous boycott and stop playing all PS3 games because they had the nerve to sell a Bethesda Game Studio game at all... Maybe you should stop buying Sony Electronics too.

OT: I'll probably try and play stealthily and only kill my target, but we all know that will inevitably fail and I'll walk out with a very bloodsoaked room

Please explain this "transparent" snubbing.

 

[BoredWalker]

It's really up in the air right now whether or not I'll get Dishonored. I mean, it looks and sounds really cool, but my gaming schedule is packed for the next several months. Maybe if I find myself bored early next year...

Anyways, OT, if I do get it, I'll most likely play #2. I don't really like killing those who aren't actively trying to kill me, but I have no qualms with introducing to reality the fools who think they can take me on.

They told their PS3 users that they have problems getting their DLC to work to a high enough degree of quality for their liking and said that instead of releasing a buggy broken mess (more than usual!) that would affect a large number of players who would have paid $20 for it that they just won't release it at all until they can solve the issue.


RAAAAAGGGGEEEE how dare they not trick users into buying broken DLC and instead refuse to take their money and try to fix the problem

HOW DARE THEY

 

[Tinygiant]

Chances are, with a controller wirelessly connected to my PS3.

What's the playthrough called where you don't play it cos you're out of money?

Echoing my sentiments here, PS3 users just won't be satisfied on this issue. If the released the DLC then you'd just complain it was a "buggy mess like Skyrim" so they try to fix it before it goes out and boom "we've been snubbed".

As for Dishonoured, I'm excited to play each way through honestly. I'm also a little intrigued by a pacifist approach that was shown.

 

[BarbaricGoose]

I'll be playing it this way:

Spoiler

I'd buy 'em both if I could, but money's tight. But I plan to play it stealthily when I do eventually pull it out of a bargain bin somewhere. There are tons of action games out there, and not many stealth games. gotta take advantage of this one.

 

[PunkRex]

Ima have my scurrying friends nom they arses!

 

[Rawne1980]

How will you play Dishonored

Quite possibly with a control pad plugged into my PC.

Ooooooooh.

Dancing with the dark arts there sonny.

Do you reck it'll benefit from a controller? From what I've seen I think it'll be more mouse friendly.

From what i've seen I agree with you, it will be more mouse friendly.

The only reason i'll be playing with a control pad is I got a new comfy arm chair and my PC is plugged into my TV so I can relax. Probably easier to play on my console but I can't leave my PC alone.

 

[The_Echo]

Won't bother. Bethesda doesn't seem to want the money of PS3 players anyway, so ain't giving it to them. Besides, not like we'll get any DLC for the game anyway.

Assuming Dishonored will even have DLC, which is not a guarantee. Plus, Beth is just the publisher. Arkane Studios is responsible for the actual game. Bethesda isn't holding out on PS3 owners, they are just having trouble in the porting. They could release the DLC to PS3, but there's a chance it wouldn't even work for you. Don't get so hung up on it; it's not even a big deal. It's just DLC, and personally boycotting a whole company on that basis means you might miss out on some really good games, for no really good reason.

OT: I'm doing a completely pacifistic run the first time. I feel like it'll be a good challenge.

I don't usually do multiple playthroughs (unless I really, really enjoy the game). But I think I'm going to do at least two runs through Dishonored.

 

[GTwander]

If on the off-chance I do get it later on, I will play it two ways:
Chaos run > Pacifist Run

Using stealth and all the plasmids (yeah, I said it) would likely make the game too easy, so I wanna play the first run through it as a berserker clearing out rooms and leaving no witnesses. The second run, only the bosses I get forced to kill will die.

~don't get me wrong, though, I will play with all the toys at my disposal at least once.

 

[ImperialSunlight]

I'll probably go with number two.

I was going to try to be as pacifist as possible, but it seems OOC for him. He's been betrayed by these people, and his life is in ruins because of it. He's given the power to kill them and he decides not to? Unlikely. So, yeah. All shall die in the name of revenge, because my character is a dick.

Also, stealth is more fun.

Still, your idea of killing them and making them look like ancient? Brilliant.

 

[Sight Unseen]

What's the playthrough called where you don't play it cos you're out of money?

I believe that's called imagining how you'd play it if you could afford it. It may or may not involve a big cardboard box and a cushion fort.

 

[Smiley Face]

Mostly stealth, saving who I want to save and killing who I want to kill. It's the first playthrough, I'll mix it up a little - if I see a mook who I can get a challenging kill on, I'll do it for the fun of it, even if it brings my pacifism levels down. Challenge runs are for later.

But I'll definitely EVENTUALLY do a full-stealth, full-pacifist run.

 

[Rawne1980]

Fair does.

If I had access to a TV large enough to warrant the switch from my monitor, I'd probably be doing the same. But I don't fancy lugging my rig down 2 flights of stairs and using the communal TV when no one else is using it. LOL.

Have you tried out Steam's big picture Beta? If you're hooking it up to a TV I'd say it's a must. Handles real nice.

I haven't tried that no. If i'm honest I haven't heard about it before bud.

I will be taking a look at it now though, thankyou.

 

[DanielBrown]

As I always do with stealth games;
Attempt a complete stealth run.
Fail horribly.
Realise I have no patience whatsoever.
Kill everything!

 

[thejackyl]

Probably play stealthily, killing as few people as possible. Than I'll try to play berserker style, killing everything.

If I do manage to get around to a third playthrough, I'll probably attempt a "ghost" playthough, doing nothing but completing the mission.
