- Start date
Looks like a very interesting game...i really need to read a couple of reviews though...one magazine i trust has called it the game of the year..which is quite a big statement seeing as there is quite a few big titles still to come out.The thing that concerns me is the length of the game,i just hope it isn't too short.I'm thinking it will be a christmas pickup for me..after i have played assassins creed 3 ill get this.

Will wait for PC reception, but THAT ART.
Borderlands 2 has me by my throat for now anyways.

Pre-ordered and ready. Roll on next week. My most anticipated game of the year, and this year has AC3, XCOM, and a new Hitman game.
The way the game was meant to be played. Carefully planned stealth and lots of time exploring different ways to get in buildings and trying to find hidden paths. Going to play on Hard first with objective markers turned off and maybe a few other things. I'll have to take a look at what exactly can be turned off. Also going no kill and no detection.

Games like this I always go through once sampling all the play styles. A little blatant murder a little pillow shooting a little Boy Scout and then second time ill do non lethal.
Tell me about it. Thought I was gonna be done with it by now and I barely put 8 hours in. Mixture of waiting for a friend to play it and not being super happy with the performance (made me decide to buy a gtx 670 this week).
There's plenty of time

God I know absolutely nothing about this game but I want it to be good so badly so that I'll have an amazing exciting experience to play through.
I hadn't really looked at the game, since people told me it was a stealth game and I tend to not like those, but I watched the videos on IGN where they go through one level stealthily and then again as total full-on action and I think it looks pretty interesting both ways. I think I'll give the game a go.
This would be my usual plan but the skills that involve killing look so damn fun that I wont be able to save them for seconds

Pre-ordered at GMG for $45. So hyped!
Yeah alright I lied a bit. I'll save my no kill run for 2nd playthrough when I bump it up to very hard. I'm still going to go for no detection 1st time though.

Keep in mind this was from the devs themselves but they said 20+ hours for people who explore and take it slow and play stealthy most of the time.
Thank god for that. After the chaos of the Resident Evil 6 threads, this OT will be a welcome reprieve.
Excellent.
Really? I thought that the combat in Dark Messiah was excellent... the levels were pretty meh and the enemies were very limited. I thought the game could have been so much more but not terrible.
Yes, this is one of my worries, too. A lot of the power combining looks pretty superfluous, for example, but it's been said that you can't get everything you want in a single playthrough. You'll be restricted in the full game, unlike the demo builds that have everything unlocked. I think you are actually only going to have access to a couple abilities/weapon upgrades(?) per playthrough, but I'm not 100% sure where the cap comes from (if there's even one at all). The way it sounds makes it seem less like Human Revolution where you could pretty much upgrade everything you wanted by the end of the game, rendering your "build" less important than the path you took getting to it.
There is also resource management to consider. I have no clue how crazy we're going to be able to get with spamming stuff. I assume ammo and mana whale juice or whatever will be limited to encourage scavenging around and avoiding confrontation. Nevertheless, I hope it's all balanced in some way. A full offensive run may not be as viable as a stealth one depending on how intensive playing like that is. Somewhere something is going to suffer, but I hope it skews in the direction of needing to play smarter than being able to run around 1hko-ing everything nonstop in frivolous, ultimately meaningless ways.
The freedom we will have in the environment looks like it is going to be a real trip because the level design seems so damn intricate. Being able to blink all over the place with a real sense of verticality and finding so many different ways to the objective is going to feel like a whole new kind of open, without actually being a full open world.

I sincerely hope this is good as it looks really cool, but there is no way I am Day 1ing a Harvey Smith game.
But Harvey played an almost equal role in creating Deus Ex 1 as Spector did, so why doesn't he get credit for that too? He was told they had to make the sequel more console friendly.

YES!!! Great OT. So incredible stoked for this game...
I doubt it.

I seem to recall him coming out and saying how Midway released the game way before it was ready. Like, it needed at least one more year of development? I had high hopes for that game. Despite it being disappointing, though, I still enjoyed it.
Anyway, I'm feeling positive about Dishonored. Can't wait to play it. And nice OT, Salsa.

Fantastic OT! Lovely job.
Really excited for this game. I probably won't end up buying RE6 tomorrow and I'll put that money in towards this instead. I was expecting it to come out in two weeks instead of next week, so this is a pleasant surprise.
I'll admit, I laughed.

I don't know anything about this game actually, so I was going solely off the OP!gah, my bad, I can see how you'd think that from the OT but a quick google search should leave you at ease
Glad it's not PC exclusive though, seems to have some excellent pre-release buzz around it. I'll definitely be watching this thread for the trusted opinion of my beloved GAFfers!

From someone who actually loved Invisible War, flaws and all, I'm not in the least bit worried about how this game will turn out.
Same.
