I would say I hope so too, but I feel like they won't.

I feel like between Dishonored 2 and Mankind Divided, one of them will fix their predecessor's problems with giving players a huge lethal toolset then guilt-tripping them for killing people.
Still psyched we're getting both this fall.

I'm excited for both of those games as well. And your right, both of those games has a chance to fix their predecessor's problems that I hope they do. I feel like Dishonored 2 might be the one.

Holy shit.
oh man, I hope they recorded a lot of dialogue. Kinda nuts how well IO pulled off this whole episodic thing.

You mean stealth murdering or straight up run n gunning? There's not much to do about the latter as playing stealth necessitates exploration and hacking. For the other, lethal stealth is slightly pointless in HR. There's a greater assortment of stealth weaponry, but it's not for lack of non-lethal choices. Melee kills made noise compared to non-lethal. Guards aren't automatically waking up from being knocked out, so there's effectively no reason to do a kill move.
It is cool to see an expanded suite of non-lethal combat options, but adding value to lethal play would be nice.
Ironically, I felt like HR kept pushing you to go lethal.
I kept finding all these cool weapons and mods and I couldn't use any of them because they were all lethal.
That's not to mention the bosses originally...
Then I discovered that the non-lethal achievement also counted all the guys in the prologue of the game, so I was screwed regardless.
I always felt like the reward for killing in those games was that the game became a lot easier as a result.

Someone keep Drew off that.
Thought atleast one would get into it and not be bewildered by it's popularity.
Debatable.

The only punishment you got for playing violently in Dishonored was more shit to kill and a better version of the final level. I'm glad they've said they're keeping the chaos system in 2 (though apparently with more nuance/variables).

I might buy that ridiculous mouse Jeff was talking about on the Beastcast.

I tried replaying Dishonored about a year ago (which was on my top 10 the year it came out) and for some reason I could only make it a couple hours in. The game was just so refreshing at release that I was willing to overlook the jankiness and quality of life issues. Specifically the fact that you had to keep turning on detective vision every 30 seconds.
Dishonored 2 needs to have always-on detective vision or something, because micromanaging that aspect was terrible.

Good Hitman video.
Based on the length I figured they'd get it done in record time, or they would fail. Didn't let me down.
I killed the wrong guy when I tried that mission.

I had an excellent plan set up. I also didn't know that a poisoned glass is only poisoned once. Then everything fell appart
I did what Dan and Brad probably would have done if they had more time/didn't want to make a boring video - just waited for the twins to complete their full routine and sniped the correct one on his second pass.

Man, EVO was a real fun watch. Might have start watching more of the major FGC events if they're anything like that.
I do. it'd be cool for these elusive target missions to not instantly fail

8 minutes in, Brad is already trespassing without any reason. This is great. I don't get people who are upset that they don't play better.
Have you tried Rooster Teeth? I bet they are falling all over it.
Srsly tho. AFAIK all of them tried it and none of them cared about it. Would it be better if they lied about it for the clicks?
It's Brad.
I liked his logic of thinking he might somehow be allowed back in the ice cream shop
I don't even know what rooster teeth is tbh.
I just hoped at least one would of gotten into it.
