Anyone ever watch stealthgamerBR dishonored videos? Freaking rad AF

domdanial,

I have, very satisfying to watch such a well planned and executed level.

CaptainBlinky, do games w Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic

I wanted that game to have good stealth mechanics, but it honestly didn’t. Start up the game, stealth into some shadows. Find a trash can, throw it 50’+ away from you and watch as every enemy within earshot runs directly at you.

Alaknar,

Are you saying you consider bad design that enemies can see where the flying trash can came from?

CaptainBlinky,

Considering that they don’t notice until the trashcans land, that’s not a valid question. And obviously they’re not all looking in your direction when you yeet the trashcan, so again, invalid question.

Mhm. Can’t say I enjoyed Dishonored much, myself. I prefer Thief 1-3, probably because they are slower paced and have less combat.

All instances of combat in Dishonored are completely optional in Dishonored. It’s actually one of the built in challenges of the game that you are rewarded for. Beating the game with out ever being seen is called Ghost and beating it with zero kills is called Pacifist.

Shayeta,

Top it off by not using powers either, most enjoyable playthrough I’ve had.

Mostly flesh and steel! I loved the added challenge of that and how it made me rethink my comfortable routes.

In Dishonored 2 you can reject the Outsider entirely and do a zero powers run. That one is fittingly called “Only flesh and steel”.

dil,

Best part about 1 is abusing stealth, 2 I had to play more straightforward

Weird stupid pedantic gripe but the way the headline is written is confusing. Isn’t it only possible “years later” that anything even could be considered a classic?

Hadriscus,

what about instant classics ??

barooboodoo,

Yeah I would interpret that as a wager that it’s going to hold up to the test of time. But we’re really in the weeds with that one

Hadriscus,

that being said it’s 13 years old already

barooboodoo,

Yeah I have fond memories of being blown away by it when it came out, I don’t know if any stealth game has grabbed me like Dishonored did.

Hadriscus,

I haven’t played Thief but it’s supposed to be a big inspiration for Dishonored afaik. Splinter Cell is fantastic but plays so differently it’s hard to compare… I guess Prey 2017 is closest, if you play a stealth build. There’s also Styx but I haven’t played it yet. Apparently pretty cool

Okay. I'll stick to games made and manufactured in the USA.

B0rax,

Ok boomer.

MyDarkestTimeline01,

I recognize the hill you’re trying to die on but good luck. You’re going to find a lot of overpriced rehashes of games that already exist.

Endymion_Mallorn,
@Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org avatar

That's the sad fact, yes. American designers don't seem to be interested in innovating. I wish I knew why, or what would inspire the majority to do more than Kickstarter grift.

NewNewAugustEast,

What are you talking about? / There are hundreds if not thousands of american made game companies, many of which are card games.

I passed a shop just the other day that has a store front for advertising but is a working print and design house. 90 percent of the store is basically a assembly house with a writer and design area up front. They do it in the open to inspire others (and to get noticed) even though none of the sales happen there, it’s all mail and online.

Endymion_Mallorn,
@Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Good, I wish I could find more games like that.

Mongostein,

Why does that matter to you?

Endymion_Mallorn,
@Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Because I'm American. On the design side, I want to support games from designers who are infected with the same memes (classical definition) as I am. I want to see people who are culturally like me innovate, based on concepts that feel natural to me. I've gotten to a point in my life where I'm not interested in trying to figure out what a dev in Germany was thinking in their translated rules.

On the manufacturing side, I believe that we need to support domestic production and industry. I want to see jobs be created for Americans that aren't just advertising, marketing, and entertaining.

prole,

Lol why?

cupcakezealot,

manufacturing in the usa would be a massive red flag tbh

How so?

Endymion_Mallorn,

It supports Americans. And I'm an American.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Didn’t deny option 1 though

Endymion_Mallorn,
@Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I'm not bothering to deny anything. You've made your beliefs clear, and there's no way I could change your mind. You're concerned with the idea that it could help fascists, and I'm concerned with the idea that it'll give some Americans productive jobs rather than BS ones. The concerns are not related.

DragonTypeWyvern,

I’ve noticed your kind can never quite bring themselves to do that, which is weird because you’ll lie about everything else

frezik,

You can find plenty of those. What you can’t do is find games with all the components manufactured in the US. Cardstock, in particular, just doesn’t exist in US production at the quality card games would want. If you want stuff that isn’t semi-transparent in bright light, then you don’t buy cardstock from US producers.

Endymion_Mallorn,
@Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Then I guess we suffer through transparency until there's a manufacturer who decides to make a thicker cardstock.

The good news is that the mic is a piece of cake (relatively speaking, as someone who has tinkered with electronics before) to disconnect. Will it throw any errors/refuse to boot? Dunno, haven’t seen that attempted yet.

Answer (without even needing to read the article): they can’t legally brick your console, but we live in an oligarchy that refuses to enforce the law against the powerful.
