On a german gaming website there`s a weekly feedback blog. There`s an embargo on Dishonored but two guys there already gave their silent thumbs up. Looks good so far but a sucessfull fun Xcom is also a win. I just hope they both do well since they both look damn promising.
It's awkward to explain I voted Xcom even though I've pre-ordered Dishonored.
I think x-com will probably give you op more value for money from the bit you have said.
I don't really know xcom that well but from what I understand it will last me/most people longer than dishonored, from what I have seen.
Just found out Arkane are the studio that made Dark Messiah (the first person one), this pleases me greatly!

Absolutely love stealth and different methods to complete missions, so I'm definitely going for Dishonored. Not a strategy fan much, even though XCOM might seem good, but Dishonored for me passes it for sure.
Dear God, no.Ralen-Sharr said:
That demo was turrible. I'm getting the game in spite of the demo.
X-Com, I haven't had a decent strategy game since I had to downsize to an normal non-gaming laptop.
And I've only budgeted for one game purchase until next year, so well done X-Com you've beaten Borderlands 2, assassins creed 3, Halo 4 and dishonoured. Now don't let me down.

XCOM Enemy Unknown for me.
I would love to get Dishonored, but sadly I'm below the minimum requirements. Which makes me sad. First time this has happened in years, actually. I enjoyed the brief period where I could buy a PC game and know it'd work with my system. Now I'll have to start worrying again.
*sigh*
That's one thing I liked about this console cycle lasting so long. Forced PC games to take a breather when it came to hardware requirements.

Really? The demo sold me on the game. I loved it.The Crotch said:
I'm sat on the fence. Dishonoured looks like it could be interesting but i reserve judgement until i've seen it in action. X-COM has everything going for it except every game after Terror from the deep has been poor...so again i'll wait to see it in action first.
Don't jump on the hype wagon, let everyone else waste their cash on it first and make your mind up later when the price drops

I didn't want a tutorial. I didn't need a tutorial, dammit. And the "tour" of the base felt totally pointless.Irridium said:
Throw me in to one of the missions that you had playable at PAX or something. Those missions that had me yelling at the stream, "No, you idiot! Don't move there!"
And don't make it friggin' six gigs.
I've played Dishonored...it's incredible, get Dishonored I promise you won't regret it, if you do I will update my preview of the game into saying "fart fart fart poo poo poo I will wee on your facebook page yeah yeah yeah"
XCOM because it just looks a lot more lovely to me, and I'm burned out on first-person perspective games for a bit. I just want something a bit slower.
I'll be picking up both of them, already pre-ordered XCOM even. Gonna be a good month for gaming I think, two of my favourite oft-overlooked and forgotten genre getting big-budget re-imaginings around the same time? Beautiful.
I hope both games turn out excellent and sell well. I've love to see both genre have a bit of a resurgence, I'm so damned sick of corridor shooters.

Well, no. The game is like deus ex/ hitman. Player choice of how to do the level, so i would say there is plenty replay value thereUltratwinkie said:
XCOM.
The original is one of my top five games.
There are two ultimate strategy games of all time. One is Civilization. The other is X-COM. The house that brought us one is now bringing us the other. I have confidence that Firaxis will do a great job.
My brother-in-law, a fellow fan of the original game, says the demo is pure gold. Everything I have heard from other places has been positive.
I'm still not actually sure what Dishonored is. I see the ads, it looks like Half-Life 2 with bits of Skyrim and Assassin's Creed thrown in? If done right, that could lead to greatness beyond measure. If done wrong, it could be a steaming dog turd.

I'm probably going to get both (my birthday is the 9th so there's a chance I may get one or both as a gift. YAY!) but if I had to choose one, I'd say dishonored. Something about the massive amount of freedom is AWESOME!
Can't vote - got both so I'm locked into playing both of them.
Glad to see that both are just about neck and neck.

I was disinterested in XCOM because I thought it would be like the last Area 51 (lame). Soon as I saw it was more like it's predessor (which I never played) I opened up a bit and leaned towards buying it.
~Then I saw I could get Civ 5 for free if I preorder it, so it's a done deal now. 50$ for both games is a total bargain, and both will give me 100's of hours worth of play a piece.
