Bought a PS4 Pro and Dishonored 2 after being really disappointed with the graphics on Xbox One.
The blurriness is gone. The terrible framiness when taking the skiff in to Karnaca is gone. Praise be!

Just got the game yesterday. Enjoying it so far.
Question: After you leave Dunwall Tower and get to the streets, you can enter the ground floor of one building that looks like it's collapsing.
The main door is broken down and inside there is a big hole in the roof and in the roofs of the floors above it.
Is there any way of getting up to the other floors? I'm jumping on everything to try and get through the collapsed roof/

How people beat this in 12 hours confounds me. Just got to the last mission and at 23.5 hours. And I still missed quite a bit.
Mission 8 wasn't the game's best. The first area
was fantastic, but the
was nothing spectacular. Kind of a confusing level design and not a whole lot of verticality and multiple pathways like some other places. Anyway, onwards to the last mission!

Yes you can reach it.
Really just depends on how you play. My first run, where I explored every nook and cranny of every area, took about 40 hours. My next run, where I mostly stuck to the mission objectives, took 5 hours.

Go back to the start of the level (outdoors)
Decent, but feels sub-30 fps at times, which can be frustrating. However, the frame hit when you pull out that mission-specific special item in mission 5ish... Total slideshow.

It's really frustrating that Digital Foundry is so obsessed with testing every single PS4 Pro patch in the world that they can't even do the basics for a major new release like Dishonored 2.
I think I know what you're talking about. I wonder if they'll be able to even fix it due to the mechanics. I wanna wait, but the positive reception is swaying me

very cool. looking forward to it.
Pretty simple really. I feel like about half the game is purely optional content, and in Dishonored optional content means entire segments of levels filled with runes and side objectives. If you just follow the critical path you'll be done with the game in under 10 hours.

I just wanted to check back in and say what worked for me to avoid killing enemies in mission 5. I got one kill after completing the non-lethal path in the conservatory. Someone posted on reddit (I think) that you could avoid the kill by checking all the unconscious bodies that you have left behind, finding the dead ones, reloading, and going to those exact bodies and administering sleep darts to them (even if it would be the second time), after which you can complete the non-lethal path without killing anyone. This worked for me. The NPC making trouble was one of the enemies from the conservatory that attack you during an ambush earlier in the level.
If the numbers are 0, you're fine.
The bug is that some actions can erroneously kill enemies. This is most commonly seen in the non-lethal method in mission 5; if that bug occurs, you'll see the kill count increase in the stats screen.

Ya I rated it a Wait for a Sale. Thats not a bad score. Just indicates at the time I reviewed it I wasn't comfortable telling others to rush out at that price at that time.

Still playing chapter 1 on ps4 OG. Noticing an annoying graphical glitch occurring in indoor environments. It's like this "stitching" (for want of a better term) effect where you can see white jagged lines running where the walls connect to the roof and things like that. Very distracting.
Just got the game- kind of worried with the tepid reviews you guys are giving it in this thread that its just "good" and not "great", which is at odds with the incredibly high critical scores. I mean damn, it has an 88 on meta critic which is quite impressive in a post 7th gen inflation world.
I did get it for 50 bucks tho (thank you blessed best buy reward zone) so it doesn't feel like I wasted too much money if its not that good. For reference, games with tax here in Canada are 90 bucks so I got it almost at half price.

Fuck yeah. Custom difficulty setting?
Game crashed when I was at the observatory or whatever and a witch Fus Ro Dah'd me.
I am enjoying the game so far, but the blood flies don't really pose as much of a threat as the rat plague in the original. And there isn't really any "oh wow" moments, like the robots showed up with no fanfare, and now witches and zombie dogs, and bloodfly zombies, all the while Emily makes no real mention of them at all. There's no sense of build up, or threat, or a sense of wonder. They are just "there" and it's boring.

Probably stuff like A.I's line of sight, whether they can spot you while leaning or not, and so on.

If that comes with performance/input lag improvements on PS4 I'll jump in then.

I had same issue with my right analog stick as well. Ended up changing the sensor. And to me your case seems the same. You can check the vid here. However, blow into your right analog stick and see if that works.

Finished the game, took me 17 hours in total. Is it just me or is the ending shorter and less detailed than the first one? Nevertheless, great game, really love playing as Emily. Might go with her again on a New Game+ run after the patch drops, getting all of her powers and turning the difficulty up. I think I'll do full lethal this time, tried being sneaky and being low chaos for half the game but gave up so I didn't have the chance to enjoy using all the wanton slaughter enabling abilities.

Yeah I noticed that several times as well, PS4Pro version here. Especially apparant in the first chapter, it gets better after that but still occurs every now and then.
Yep, I had this the entire game on OG PS4

at least i know this isn't a pro specific issue.

Happens on PC too.
I don't remember much about the first game's ending but this one's felt pretty perfunctory. This series has such a weird mix of inspired, attentive worldbuilding and half-assed main plots and characters. Still, it's an absolutely brilliant game and Chapter 7 is the best level in any game this year.
Just beat it. Sixteen hours, and not a single soul saw me. The non-lethal method to the final boss fight was especially clever and took me forever to figure out.
Can't wait to dive back in as Corvo for a slightly less non-lethal run.
Easily my GOTY.
Edit: feel I should mention I feel extremely lucky, as I didn't have any issues with bugs on my playthrough, even as I was playing non-lethal ghost as Emily.

Well, your mileage varies a lot depending on what you do. For example, you can skip almost the entirety of Chapter 1 by
riding the train.
solving the riddle yourself.
I just got done replaying the first one on high chaos and I'd say the ending is more quick and dirty than the sequel. Especially if you're just talking about
the wrap-up cutscene, Dishonored 1's isn't detailed on your choices at all.
Immersive sim type games seem to always struggle with having a strong and satisfying ending.

Hmm...Dust District seems a bit dull so far.
Ending spoilers
I got hyped as fuck when I saw that Billie finds Daud (or Daud finds her). Knife of Karnaca DLC?
Fucking hell the new non-lethal options are soooooooo fun.
Knock out smash from above is amazing, so is the new parry / chokehold combo.
Weaving in both after you've been caught is so fun. Got seen by the Overseers so I jumped on a desk and launched into a knockout from above on one, then parried the other, put him in a chokehold, and hurled him through a glass bookshelf before escaping out the window.
This fucking game man. Worthy sequel, truly.

I'd be down with that but I hope they change up his power set a little bit- at least have radically different branches for the powers he shares with Corvo, for example.
The slide attacks and being able to put the boot in when they're thrown are great too- parry chokehold would be great if enemies didn't cheerfully murder their own squadmates.
Does it kind of shimmer? I've noticed that too in Dishonored 2. The only game in recent memory that had this was The Evil Within so I'm inclined to think it's engine related.
To be honest I wouldn't mind playing as someone totally new. Like a rival witch or something.
