Dishonored

It's in third place on Steam when I look though.

In the UK it was the 2nd best selling game of the week (only behind Fifa 13). It's got some pretty hefty marketing tho, I bet it could sell pretty decently in the US, even if it might be a slightly weird looking game on the surface. [url='']http://www.eurogamer...spot-by-fifa-13[/url]

However I bet their break even numbers must be pretty high. Seems like a project that's been in development for quite a while, and it's got Bethesda showing their marketing muscle. Wouldn't surprise me if they need to sell at least 2 million copies to break even, but I guess you could always count this as franchise building if it doesn't hit that.

Anyway, started playing it yesterday. Really dig most things about this game, but I can't help feeling that I'd be much more thrilled about it if it had come out in August or September when there was a bit more of a lull in releases. Right now I'm constantly thinking of XCOM while I'm playing this, much rather wanting to go back to that. It's got loads of elements that I really love tho, feels like a modern take on Thief, amazing atmosphere and rich and interesting environment to explore. Figure you just need to get far enough for it to really grab you tho~

Yeah mazy don't ruin your experience with it if you are just thinking of xcom. Go get it out of your system then come back, you'll enjoy it much more then

Like a guy who needs to bang a load of chicks before gets married

I replayed a level 4 times last night... just because. This game def has me hooked and I'm loving the level layouts.

Which level ?

The mask party.

A good level indeed

I waited until the last two levels before I went postal, it felt awesome and I still got the good ending

with low or high chaos?

I never managed to get low chaos How much of a pacifist chicken do you need to be?

you basically don't set off any alarms, and only kill maybe... at most 3 people or something?

I got it and i had things turn to sh*t on a lot more than one occasion + everyone who deserved to got the blade. In total I got maybe 3 or 4 high chaos ratings in the chapters.

Is there any way to go back to the missions and collect the runes I've missed?

I think the campaign is linear in that aspect, but I did see a "mission select" on the main menu. Not sure if that impacts your current play-through though.

I'll def be replaying the game all gunz blazing next.

When playing a mission from the mission screen all the runes you picked up in the first playthrough are re-added, not sure what the game does with them though.

I was hoping to be able to play the missions with all my upgrades after finishing the story, but nope, so going back for more runes won't really grant you any upgrades (I believe) Would've been fun.

When this game does something that makes me angry and annoyed it almost immediately does something awesome again to make me love it.

Would anyone be up for a

Dishonored themed Mapcore Challenge?

Sounds like we could have some fun with that.

there's an editor with dishonored? brb completing game

nope, we would have to use source / udk / whatever .

just "themed"

sounds good! quite a few things that reminded me of hl2 during my playthrough
