It honestly makes me think the whole "multiple endings" thing was tacked on solely for marketing purposes. Even the ability to influence the ending is spoiled by the fact that after every level you literally get a score telling you how you did, completely undermining the experience of discovering the consequences of your actions. Utterly uninspiring, utterly predictable. However it will never be a favourite of mine because the narrative is beyond atrocious. It's incredible the kinds of things you're capable of, but at the same time the game is still plenty challenging. The gameplay is fucking fantastic, there is really no denying this. I swear I've gone on this rant elsewhere but Dishonoured (agree with the spelling, it makes me angry) is the second most "not bad" game I've ever played. It's inspired by the old Thief games and Dark Messiah which I wanna play. Definitely recommend this game to anyone who doesn't mind first person (this game executes it perfectly) and likes stealth games. This is now my 2nd or 3rd playthrough of the game and I'll be playing the DLC this time. I haven't played the DLC yet but I heard it's also pretty good. You can either jump a fence by simply climbing somewhere and jumping it, using a door if there is one (although this will be more obvious and guards/dogs will notice you etc), take control of a rat and go underneath, distract the guards and then walk inside, simply storm in and kill everyone, or hell, you can even fucking take control of a guard themselves.
It's an example of great game design you've got good environments, beautiful graphics that look a painting made of water colours, incredible (and fun) gameplay that offers you multiple options on how to complete one objective.
Definitely one of the most overlooked games of last generation, and most definitely up there as one of the best games/new IPs in the same generation as well. Also, Nintendo ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO drop their YouTube policy but that's a rant for another day.īeen playing Dishonoured lately (learn the collect spelling YOU DUMB AMERICANS) and it's simply fucking amazing. Nintendo should also really beef up their online prowess and make a better shop and voice chat etc. Nintendo NEEDS to approach 3rd parties and have an easier console to program for so developers won't get scared off and won't be afraid to drop the game's graphics just a bit. Although, the make or break for NX will definitely be 3rd parties.
Also, Nintendo need not to be AS GOOD as the PS4 or Xbone but it should at least be not THAT big of a drop in quality.
Kinda like the Wii U Pro Controller but bundled in with the console. Just please come with a normal controller. Why would Nintendo want to keep doing what they're doing if it means struggling to get sales? Yes, they're making a profit but that profit will be minimal if it doesn't sell well(Which the Wii U is not.) I'm not saying turn away from innovations but as long as said innovations are OPTIONAL and well implemented then I'm fine with it.
