Still Just a Rat

It's missing the next panel where he constantly switches from "Yay! I was right! Hah! Fuck you, Soldier #1!" happy face to "Oh God, they're eating out Soldier #3's intestines!" horror face. Probably would have killed it though....Skeleon said:
When it drops in price a bit, will probably pick it up just because of this article. So that when I play, this comic will be firmly entrenched in the back of my head.
After Assassin's Creed, any more stealthy actions games sounds fun.
That could've worked that way if, for example, his pupils were directed at soldier #1 instead of at the scene of the carnage in the picture where he's grinning, I think. Because then it would've been a grin like "See, I was right!" directed at soldier #1 specifically.CleverCover said:
You do know that the entire point behind Dishonored was the eschew the whole idea that "there's a proper way to get through this level!", right? And that that's the reason it's so open, to give the player as many options as possible instead of making them feel like they're being forced into one particular solution? There are so many games already that lead you by the hand down the corridor to the end and smack your cheek if you so much as dare look away for more than a second, it's nice to finally get a game that says "Find your own way to the exit." And a good stealth game should let you just hide in the shadows and get through the entire level without engaging a single enemy, without making you feel utterly inept if you happen to be spotted.Blood Brain Barrier said:
OT: The last panel was hilarious. Finally, it was indeed "just a rat".

Pokemon White 2 over here
but, yeah, I'll pick up a copy of Dishonored when money is avaible... also I think Grey's comment should be somewhere on the game's box, instant sale 
So THAT'S Dishonored's primary rip-off source. But still, if it ain't broke and all that. I just may get the game, despite the ads with the creepy little girl singing before EVERY video on this site.CleverCover said:
So now that the rat issue's been settled, what about the mysteriously moving cardboard boxes?
Hey! that was supposed to be my line! I Used it on the last "just a rat" comic!DaRigger420 said:
... then again... ninja's honor says whoever ninjas the line gets it, so go ahead. You earned it...
The soldiers will just think it's a box full of rats and either ignore it all the same or shoot it before it eat their legs off. Very chancy.Darth_Payn said:
Captcha: way to go donny!
Thank you for the cheer, captcha, but I'm not Donny...unless you mean Darth Payn... Is your name Donny?
So is the guy on the right the player, controlling some idiot guard?
I don't have this game yet, but the day I do is the day the "Rats in the Wall" story is reenacted, only with less survivors.

Haven't played it yet, but according to a friend who's already beaten it, the rats are indeed the most dangerous thing in that game.However, he's also mentioned something that applies to the other argument: the "It's never just a rat!" side. That being that there were quite a few instances in which he'd do something deserving of a "WTF?! GUARDS! ATTACK!" only to have people just carry on as though they thought it was indeed just a rat. One case in particular had him possessing a rat, exploring a bit, then poofing back to normal in front of a large crowd, and no one seemed to care at all. :3

It's all about self imposed challenges. The Thief games could easily be beaten by blackjacking or hacking away at everything - but you somehow feel compelled to not play it that way, as though you're cheating yourself out of the fun. Eventually, you wind up tryingBlood Brain Barrier said:
to finish the game on the hardest mode without ever making contact with an enemy, let alone harming them. Dishonoured seems to be going for the same effect.
"That is why Dishonored fails as a stealth game. It feels much too loose, like you can complete the level by just sneaking through the shadows."
Uh, yeah, you can. You can beat the entire game without killing a single person and most levels (not sure about the entire game) without even being detected, in the ultimate display of stealth.
Or you can just cut down every single person you meet, including non-hostile NPCs, with a frontal assault and zero stealth involved. Play it as you want to play it. They give you tons of ways to complete every level. That's the point. You may want insta-fail on detection, but I like stealth with violence backup - it's the shame I feel at my blowing it that's the real penalty.
Perhaps you could crank up the difficulty level so the mobs are much more lethal and perceptive for the effect you'd like.
