I might be wrong but if Gerrilla plays their cards right and try to make an honest to goodness original open world game and not just a copy of ubisoft games, this might just be one of those games of a generation.
If they treat those giant dinos you can climb as just like towers in Far Cry only with legs then i dunno, prolly not. Lol
Quote from SpronyOn 11/12/2016 at 3:38 PM, Sprony said: I just wished they had added the option to check, during a mission, if you were spotted or not. Kinda sucks to spend 2 hours on it only to find out you were apparently seen in the mission stats screen.
If you want real time feedback on this, here's a tip if you wanna do that, under Enhancements, unlock Reflexes, and then Snap Reaction. (they'll set you back 4 runes, but it's worth it for stealth play)
What it does is the game will slow down for 2 seconds when you're spotted (a-la Metal Gear Solid V), so you always know when you're spotted with this.
Quote from PaulH7 hours ago, PaulH said: I found the same thing on the third mission (The Good Doctor) - immediately after getting off the boat you have one main entry point with an opening either side of it, and trying to get inside that without getting spotted was a bit of a nightmare, as guards are on either side of the entrances, not very visible in amongst the scenery inside and you have no minimap to tell you which way they might be facing or where they are. I read up on this mission after I'd done it and read that you can possess a fish in the fountain to get inside, but I didn't have this power at that point.
This mission was fucking amazing, I love how you can go quite literally anywhere in this island, from the basement, to the bed rocks all the way to the rooftops. I kind of brute forced my way in the main entrance but later realized there's quite a few hidden entrances around the edge of the map like you can just go around the back of the island, you can get in through a window in the kitchen, etc.
Alright, I just put a few hours in, just got to Karnaca and I'm really enjoying it. Trying to beat it on hard, i did say yes to powers and I'm fairly sure that will bite you later eventually since the game acknowledged it in the journals and your diary so the story might have some ramifications there. I'm playing with Corvo and so far I'm enjoying the diferent dialogs and I can actually imagine a second playthrough as his daughter to be pretty fun as well if anything to see the diferent interactions and story progression, shame they didn't do a parallel story development a-la Resident Evil 2 Leon/Claire scenario and instead
Spoiler decided to turn the character you don't chose into a rock. But then again, I'm still not done with the game so it might surprise me there.
So far though, the gameplay is pretty good and it has a real sense of progression instead of spending the whole game in a big hub like Deus Ex Mankind divided, so I'm already enjoying Dishonored 2 a lot more.
Performance is a bit all over the place, i get 60 FPS @ 1080p in interiors and smaller areas but the game drops to 30/35 in big outdoor or denser areas. That said, my PC is already bellow the recomend specs for this game so I'll cut them some slack there.
My god, the environment art is astonishing so far, i can't wait to see what lies ahead in terms of variety too, so far in terms of scenery it looks similar to the first game, only way better looking, which is fine by me but i hope they surprise me there too and show me unexpected environments.
This new engine is really amazing too. I really like their textures and materials, their metals have a very unique look, which really helps the stylized look pop out. Even though i get a lot of aliasing and moire effect in this game, which is actually very distracting, I'm wondering what it looks like on console but it's probably a combination of fxaa being shit and materials being too shiny sometimes.
So far I'm actually happy I got it for PC, although I'm playing with a controller i don't have many problems to report on my end after playing the initial 4 or 5 hours, so far so good.
Have you tried it with a controller?
First early reviews are coming in, don't know how these people finished the game so fast but an interesting read nonetheless. Can't wait for this weekend.

being inclusive means speaking on behalf of all people- not just the minorities.
When the unexplainable happens, people love pointing fingers so at least they have some sort of a scapegoat and who else is a better candidate than blaming "white males the patriarchy" for the worlds problems, that's just so not true it baffles me the left can be this regressive and flat out ignorant. Along with the DNC fuckup, I believe It's the reason liberals lost the election. These people are to the left what the tea party is to the right therefor it's harder and harder to find a middle ground in today's politics, it could have gone either way, it's a pendulum.
Newsflash guys, some people are complaining about problems on PC!!! Who would have guessed..... Anyway, here's a link you should probably check if you're playing Day1 pre-patch version. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-…ance-complaints
My copy is in the mail so I'll most likely play it tomorrow night.
More relevant pointers from the comments:
Quote I figured out what the issue is, and for once it was by listening to that oft-awful Nvidia Experience app.
Turns out that the default anti-aliasing the game uses (TXAA) even on Low detail presets is THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE HOG, and possibly just broken in general. Turn it down to FXAA High and you'll have a nice smooth game even with everything else up high.
My GTX 1060 runs Doom 4 at Ultra, 1080p, 60fps unbroken. Same with Titanfall 2. Dishonored was hitting 15-20fps in places until I turned off TXAA. Still not solid 60 in busier scenes, but definitely most indoors areas now.
Funny thing is that the TXAA performance drops were almost completely independent of any other setting. Drop it down to Low at 1600 x 900, and it still crawled so long as TXAA is on. So yeah, change that ONE SETTING and you'll be good. Hopefully they'll either fix it or patch in a better alternative somewhere between FXAA and TXAA.
Quote from dux5 hours ago, dux said: The first strategy was Bernie winning the Democratic Primaries. He had the swag, the charisma, the cuddly Grandpa mentality. His appeal was the same as that of Biden: Go-lucky, real, passionate. Unfortunately he was running against the Clinton Machine/DNC and he got churned out like a hunk of beef.
The second strategy was Bernie, yes THAT Bernie, again. He should have been the VP even though Hillary leans center way more than progressive. Her inability to negotiate was her undoing. It's not just about the Bernie voters that refused to vote Hillary, it was about their enthusiasm. Like it or not they were a ground-game unlike anything anyone's ever seen. The ridiculous amount of donations, the millions of phone calls, the millions of doors knocked. Their passion was most needed against Trump.
Yes, Bernie campaigned for Hillary during the general election, but it was no longer the same. Bernie used to be their guy, their champion that could fight against the 1%, for $15 minimum wage, free healthcare, and free tuition. He couldn't do that while campaigning for Hillary without being on the ballot because everyone knew she didn't really care about any of that.
So what was Hillary left with? No passion, no drive, no enthusiasm, no Bernie, no Presidency. She was too proud, and that, ladies and gents, is what Trump exposed to perfection.
This is proven to be true over and over again! The DNC brought this on themselves, and on us. They just ruined the country they spent the last 8 years building. Bernie was the only weapon they had.

The fun begins... we're witnessing exactly the same thing we saw with brexit
Quote from Steppenwolf1 hour ago, Steppenwolf said: That's a false analogy. The Berlin wall got constructed by the East German government for the purpose to keep its own people in.
Yeah I know that, my point was that walls fix nothing, quite the contrary.
It's out tomorrow, can't wait! I need a good game to help me disconnect from whatever the fuck is going on in this country.
Kind of ironic when exactly 27 years ago today the whole world celebrated the falling of the Berlin Wall, 1989.
And 27 years later, we're getting ready to build a new one.

This is a friendly reminder to stay civil. I think we're willing to give this thread another chance if you keep in mind that we're a small community of really smart and intelligent people posting their views and opinions, but no matter how polarized others opinions might be we need to stay respectful.
This is fucking horrible, what the fuck is going on? I just wanna go home and intoxicate myself to sleep...
Republicans will completely control all 3 branches of government. Things are about to get really regressive.
Just the fact that trump doesn't believe in climate change alone, makes me despise the guy. Let alone the 1000 other hideous things he supports.
Quote from Sentura4 hours ago, Sentura said: Bernie should have fought after the DNC revealed how crooked they were and continued as a candidate
But instead he supported Hillary. lol, i'll never understand politics.
I'm sorry for being mean but this looks more like a fan made video than the trailer for the next big mass effect. :[
I do love the fantasy of human beings being the aliens on a new galaxy, and some of those shots look more than decent. I don't know, I'm hoping they're keeping their best cards close to their chest until E3, this being N7 day and all. We'll see...
