Is your PC a potato or am I incorrectly remembering Dishonored's graphics?

There's something terribly wrong with that man. Send him to a better place before he decides to punch you.
Also,
Dishonored looks fine to me, but the artstyle is offputting. It's like a worse version of Bioshock Infinite.

I'm no longer a member of Club 1680x1050 as I bought a Samsung S24E390HL earlier for $239. Coming from a relatively ancient TN panel (Dell's E228WFP released in 2007), the massive difference in colour reproduction was immediately obvious.
I'll keep ye olde Dell around, though, just in a case I need to temporarily use it.

why not use both for non gaming use, you could play ass creed on one monitor and gaf on another!

I should get one of Warren's shirts for halloween.
What a sexy bitch. <3
I consider the situation a test of competence in regards to business and organization, and they've failed the test hard. That just doesnt give me much hope that the rest of the project.

My desk doesn't really have the space for two monitors, plus that's what Steam's in-game overlay is for.

I would have expected you to rock four. Two being just used for rotating Saoirse wallpapers and two for regular use.

Sur-fucking-prise. Hope you had a good 'con if you will. Did you get to try out the Vive?
Also am jelly, I would love to meet Chet. He's a nice dude, and if I was in the UK I'd have gotten my ass to EGX just to meet him.
Ofcourse there was a ton of other great people there, too.
Well, I'm not kidding.
I only played a 13 minute demo, of which consisted unskippable cutscenes and what seemed to be the very start of the game. After about 5 minutes we were let loose in the open world.
Movement and traversal is largely the same and familiar, no bad thing, that's what we want from ME after so long! There was a new mechanic shown off called a Mag Rope, if I remember correctly. It's basically a context sensitive grapple hook to allow Faith to pass very large gaps between buildings she can't jump.
There was only one of these points in the demo, and it was a fairly small area, so i can't say how prevalent that sort of thing would be in the final game.
What I can guess as being prevalent is the Ubisoftification of the game. With ME going open world and Dragon Age playing from Ubi's playbook I shouldn't be surprised.
The remainder of the demo had us explore this small area, and you could bring up the map and select waypoints, which the paths to show where shown on screen as the red runner vision, so it dynamically changes depending on your waypoints, very cool I thought.
In the area there was 1 time trial (I attempted it multiple times and couldn't get 3 stars, didn't see anyone get 3 stars), a billboard to "hack" (which is just climb up to this billboard (not difficult it's just sitting there) and hold A (why do we need to hold buttons all the time now??), and an item drop off (go from A to B while enemies are present).
This is where the game showed off the melee, which is really sliding/jumping at people and pressing the X button. Do that enough times and Faith will do a takedown knocking them out. No guns are usable.
And last, once you've completed those you get a pop up message saying "congratulations. Go and pick up collectibles to fill out the rest of your time". There are these little orange glowing balls of light to pick up called Gridlinks, and an indicator in the corner counted up to 66 for that area (don't know if there was genuinely 66 in the demo, doubt it).
With that, I think you can very clearly see the framework for a Ubisoft style map filled with collectibles and "stuff" to do.
You are about two months late, but yeah, Kecmo should release series on PC, just to reward me being so loyal and putting up with all their shit lately.
it is a silly fun game, I dunno what's about it, I enjoyed it much more than could have been expected
My desk doesn't really have the space for two monitors, plus that's what Steam's in-game overlay is for.
how do you even live with one monitor? It's like having only one eye by choice or something
Glowing Orbs is more Crackdown style than Ubisoft style. But billboard hacking sounds boring and pointless. Time Trial is nice and it would be really cool if there is course maker integrated in game.

Other games impressions for you if you're interested, cross posted from the EGX thread
Fair enough, i never played Crackdown, so it seemed Ubisoft to me.
Also, just to be clear, I don't know what collecting the orbs did from the demo. Will probably not be clear until the game is out.

Did you like any game you played there?

Idiot question about Dishonored.
If I buy the thing on Humble Store and redeem it on a Polish account, do I get the "(RU)" version, or the regular one?

heh, I do admit I am a cynical bastard
But almost all of the AAA there were for this fall, and I'm only interested in Falout 4 for this fall, and it wasn't there.
The game I probably had the most fun with was Star Wars, but I also got the chance to play with PSVR and I really liked the talks I went to.
Besides, if you check the EGX thread out, I go in depth about the expo this year and it was a shitshow compared to years past, piss poor organisation and less interesting games.

Great thanks for spoiling it. /s
why would you get RU version in any case? I am missing something here
edited: anyway, if you wanna a game to be other region app, you only can get it by using VPN of that region (while activating a key), Jasec will correct me if I'm wrong.
you have nothing to play? poor thing
edited: you as well can wait for the Halloween sale, only a month left or Autumn sale, only two months left or Xmas sale only three months left. At least one of those will have some not shit sales.

It is not literally Russian version, it has something to do with local publisher. It started as "Dishonored RHCP" (Russia, Hungary, Czech R, Poland, maybe?) as still visible in SteamDB DLC entries but one day they changed the name to "Dishonored (RU)". SteamDB suggests it would have to be the HB doing the region recognition since this one has different keys, but maybe that's wrong.
They changed it from Dishonored RHCP because Anthony Kiedis threatened to sue
Hero of the Kingdom devs - Lonely Troops have a city builder on greenlight - Megapolis.
it looks a lot like Concrete Jungle for some reason
oh, it's one of those situations.
I remember somebody (probably not so fresh veggie), buying a key on HB and it still activated on his account as a german app, that's why I said you need to use VPN, it's a pity Jasec is not here, because I'm not entirely sure as I don't use VPN and he's very much into buying regional stuff.

I can tell that this is going to be a fun thread.
I mean, it's not a "valve don't make games"-thread, which is a big plus.

I don't get it: I have played like 1000 hours of Steamworks games online and I haven't been dropped once.
The other point is the usual suspect when revamping a software product: features often go missing when there's a huge change (like changing the whole goddamn engine). It happens with every software product that continuously develops, but it's understandably frustrating to end user. But as how software development works, you can't continue building on same base forever, unless you don't want your product to become bloated, stale mess full of hacks and other shenanigans. But not sure how that is somehow Valve specific.
