Hmm mission 3 was really short (I did the sidequest) and mission 4 seems very linear...:/

What do you all have your brightness settings at?
I had it where I usually have it in games, had a great, dark atmosphere going.. (beginning game stuff) but..
When I changed my brightness settings to what the game recommends, the last symbol being barely visible, it seems like it makes things way too... washed out and bright. But I could see that area from before very easily.
I'm not sure how to handle the brightness settings, I guess. Whether to go as the game recommends, or go how I usually do and maybe risk not being able to see certain clues and stuff in shadows. =/

The part where you have to search for the code to open the safe, the whiskey related one, I couldn't see the shelves behind the safe.. it was COMPLETELY pitch black back there. I finally had to look it up online after 30 minutes of searching. I'd have never found it.

I've noticed the game is very washed out at times. So I just said "meh" and left it as is.

Very interesting info, thanks for posting. I wasn't sure on the whole creature/pylon thing, now I know.
Also, damn weepers.
Yea, I've been checking the stats. ;_;
I'm gonna screencap the stats. Next time someone bitches about how we don't get games like Thief anymore I'm gonna show them those stats.
On the upside, X-Com seems to be doing well.
I got both, but I can tell you that you'll get a lot more playtime out of Borderlands II. This game, one on play through, is about 9 - 12 hours depending on how slow you go. You can skip stuff and abbreviate that more to about 6 hours or less depending on your playstyle, though.
This is one of those games you'll want to replay multiple times to try out different things (which affect the story, dialogue with characters, the ending, and even the levels themselves) so you can probably get 20 - 30 hours out of this game fairly easily.

Who here has killed Granny Rags?
I did
I did
well it was the top seller for a couple days IIRC
I know this isnt the best source but i frequent video game streaming sites and more often than not its very easy to tell which games are doing very well and which are faltering by the traffic of people live streaming their playthroughs. So far i can count on one hand the number of channels ive seen dishonoured on :[, heres hoping good word off mouth makes it a long lifer.

I just rented the game. If I had money I would bought it. Its a well made game.
But will sale prices be enough. I don't know how reliable imdb is for this stuff but according to them this game had a budget of $25mil. That would mean this game would have to sell near 1 million units full price to break even.

Oh what the...
This game as no NG+? THIS game???
Okay this is stupid. Replay value is gone. Seriously what the fuck?
I don't wan to replay this game six times to level up every power. I want to use everything on mission two, not just my damn two abilities...
Woah this is bullshit.

I keep listening to it, and I honestly have no idea what it's talking about lol
Hmmm - I'm leaning towards Dishonored because I need a stealth fix and the replay value holds weight for me. Thanks!
It's the magic 8 ball of the dishonored world.

1st mission side quest question:
Going for a no kill run.
If I put the plague into the elixers to kill the gang, does it register as a kill?

I dunno why people get their shit in a knot about NG+ in games like these, but that's probably because I enjoy replaying these sorts of games by imposing more limitations or quirky playstyles.

The guard mumbling is really obnoxious. Does it ever go away or do I have to hear STUPID GOD DAMN MUMBLE MUMBLE throughout the entire game?
Some people consider the prison escape the first mission since that's the first time you get the results screen. I'm still iffy on what I consider the first mission.
Entire game. They definitely recycled it way too much. That, and women sound like dudes when they're snoring.

Done with it then. It's really annoying and has a lot of very forced cursing. No way can I put up with that.
I don't mind cursing, but when it's there because they thought it would be cool and mature, it really turns me off. But it's mainly the repetitive mumbling, not so much the cursing.
That plus the game isn't really drawing me in. Nothing about the story interests me. I really need to start trying games for myself instead of blowing $60 on hype.
People are considering the prison one a proper mission even though it's really not, it's a tutorial in some ways.
What causes the real confusion is we don't know what the game considers the 1st proper mission so when we're discussing length and mission count this debate comes up.
Crysis 2 must have brought you out in hives.

It's just like Thief. I personally love it. They could have used some more variety in what was being said.

Does killing those dickhead assassins that seem to be popping up in the second mission count towards the chaos rating?

Gonna start this bad boy on the weekend. Is there anything I should know, or any mindset/notions that I should adopt?
One thing I've been told to do is to pick a play style and stick to it; seeing as killing people looks to comprise a lot of fun, I'm going to be a ghosty ghost whom often dabbles in murder.

If you play without using Dark Vision you'll wish it was looped constantly.
Yeah, are there any side quests for mission 4? Its a really cool area otherwise but blink, even though its fun, makes it too easy
Bought this afternoon, really looking forward to this. GMG has a 25% off deal running for another 11 hours or so (gets you a Dishonoured steam key for $45) this goes for any game, but I can't think of anything I'd rather spend my money on at the moment.
