I don't like stealth, simple as

I had fun but now the final cutscene says I'm a roodypoo and that's just heckin' wrong.

I just don't like game design that punishes me for using a core mechanic. Why punish me for killing with your shitty writing filled cut scenes?

How did it filter anyone when you can teleport from one hiding spot to another and guards never look up

>>717219271 (OP)
filters in what way? its baby mode Thief

>>717219628
Because saying "filtered" is the latest nigger cope when you can't think of anything positive.

pee pee poo poo u kno ur gud at dishonored if u dont gotta constantly savescum

I think OP refers to the retarded anons that had a melty when the game acknowledged they genocided their way through for 10 seconds in the final slideshow.

wow! just like every game ever!

What a shitty games. You can't use powers that's a bad thing. No fun allowed

>>717219271 (OP)
I really love dishonored, just wish mana was easier to get. Dishonored 2 looks graphically insane and is ridiculously long. Sad that dishonored 2 bombed even though it was good

>>717221507
>Sad that dishonored 2 bombed even though it was good
I hate to say this, I really do, but they went woke. Too many n-word in the game for no reason.

>>717219271 (OP)
It was OK. Have never once felt the urge to replay.

>>717219271 (OP)
Things are bad. Could the board get any worse?

I like 2 but it’s a liberal shitfest

It was in a southern country with a different ethnogroup what the fuck do you mean, "no reason"?

>>717221590
You're insane. Go back to your containment board

>>717219271 (OP)
it didnt. i love save scumming in games likes these - loved the splinter cell series as well

surprised they dont have a dishonored 3 yet even after so long. deathloop was shit

>>717221590
>saying the n-word is now woke
what the fuck happened

>>717221712
I assume you meant "mother" in your last point and it is all about Billy, 'cause I don't know what demons you encounter every level that need to be spared. Most of the low chaos eliminations are arguably worse than killing the targets

>>717221684
Never doubt it.

>>717221507
>Sad that dishonored 2 bombed even though it was good
Not really why it bombed, but I tend to say Dishonored 2 is to Dishonored 1 what Rambo 2 is to First Blood. Second one is better entertainment, but first one had something to say.
All too often, playing D2 feels like going through the motions - that non-violent way to get rid of the tyrant in final mission felt so artificial, with the ropes apparent and all.
Thats said, it's still Arkane at their peak, and the level design is often just some of the best the industry at large has ever produced.

>>717219271 (OP)
Poor man's thief.

>>717221791
>deathloop was shit
I was extremely disappointed when I realized the game wasn't going to be real-time, but closed chapters. But then once I accepted to judge the game on its own merits rather than what I had hoped it would be, I found it was pretty decent. I certainly wouldn't call it awful.

>>717219271 (OP)
>actually filters/v/

>>717222534
The narrative set up obviously reminds more of Thief, but from a gameplay standpoint, I'd compare it more to Deus Ex.

>>717222534
the modern man's thief, you mean, since nobody else even approached what looking glass did all those years ago

>>717222708
It was OK.

>>717221684
Shut the fuck up.

I replayed this for the first time since launch a couple years ago and had to put it down during the prison break level. It pissed me off that I got an objective marker to break into a safe and get dynamite before my character had read any note about the dynamite existing or noticing that there was a weak looking wall or something.
Any of the first 3 Thief games are a better time as long as you mod them

>>717224254
>Le thief
Shit piss easy series for boomers

>>717224254
Iirc dishonored is pretty playable even if you disable objective markers. I recently played prey and that was the same, except during spacewalks, I couldn't find shit then.

>>717219271 (OP)
I liked the first one but did not touch anything afterwards, apparently that's for the best

>>717225454
not necessarily considering the dlc for 1 and the sequel have better gameplay and level design

>>717224254
Thief 1 and 2 don't need mods, thief 3 is shit regardless of mods

>>717225517
2 had worse level design due to not being able to be designed around a specific moveset.

The game becomes infinitely more fun when you actually choose the weird/fun powers. It's actually one of the reasons I played 2 so more much than 1. Emily's powers are way funkier and way more fun to use, forcing you to think outside the box

>>717219271 (OP)
it's eh
definitely a bethesda game because the AI is retarded

>here's all these tools to kill someone and the entire game's mechanics revolve around this

>here's your target, please give them a fucked up ending, be it branding skin until it melts, the plague, the rape boat or the mines where their tongues will be taken out, btw you're a good guy if you don't question why there are fucking slave mines where mutilation is mandatory in your kingdom
I don't particularly like being lectured on morality in an amoral world or when I'm playing Edward Scissorhands and my every button is bound to "Kill" except for one really unsatisfying crossbow bolt where I have to also babysit the body afterwards.

>>717226421
tldr?

>>717226421
You only get lectured if you kill 50% or more people on a map. The game is about being an assassin, not a mass murderer

>>717219628
>play game
>choose chaotic options
>get chaotic ending
>wtf why did this NPC react to my actions

>>717226673
You gain chaos for assassinating your target. You lose chaos for not assassinating your target.
The game is telling you it's more moral to create slaves and rape than killing your target.

There are plenty of chaos reducing actions too which are just "good guy" things to do... that have nothing to do with being an assassin.
One of the stranger ones is: save a vile gang boss from being eaten. Morality is exceptionally arbitrary.

I don't know why you think an assassin has to care about collateral damage. Agent 42 cares because he gets a high score for being a ghost and the game... makes a game... of not killing innocents... and tells you killing the target is um good actually because it um is.

>>717227803
>it's more moral to create slaves and rape than killing your target
this is just true though?

>>717227803
>You gain chaos for assassinating your target.

If you assassinate every target and kill no one else you get the good ending. Retard.


You only get the bad ending if you slaughter every random guard on the map for fun.

>I don't know why you think an assassin has to care about collateral damage.

Corvo isn't just an assassin, he's the new Empress's father and the biggest influence on her life. If he's an insane psycho she's going to be one too.

Also the city itself is going to be affected by his actions if he does insane shit like killing every guard he sees or spreading the plague.

>>717228396
compare that drawing Emily made to the high chaos drawing

autists can't conceive of the idea their actions have consequences.

>>717228396
>redditspacing
Uhuh.
>just kill the targets and no-one else!
Chaos is scored. You can mathematically figure out how many people you can kill with killing your target, and how many more you can kill without killing your target, whilst maintaining low chaos.
Guards are considered worth less as human beings compared to civilians. Targets are considered the most valued human beings in the world.
You get good boy points for doing arbitrary actions.
You can only get zero bad boy points for not killing your targets but giving them a hellish existence.
>muh daughter
She isn't there. She's not seeing you do shit. The game pretends she has omniscience. Same as everyone who criticises you.
>but the city!
I just pointed out you can save a crime boss from dying to reduce your bad boy points! That's not a good thing! He's a bad person who is hurting the city!
The morality in the game is autistic! This isn't actions have consequences! Stop giving the player a gun if you don't want him to use a gun!

>>717219271 (OP)
Who got filtered by this insanely easy game? Unless you play without powers it's downright trivial.

>>717227803
>>717228901
It's not arbitrary. If you lack the comprehension to understand why saving a crime boss, or anyone for that matter, from being sacrificed to rats from a woman who worships ancient gods who seek humanities suffering then you're just a fucking idiot.

Also you're just bitching for the sake of it. Unless you literally mass murder every level you won't get the bad ending. Faggot ass motherfucker.

>>717219271 (OP)
Stealth sucked. Blink was overpowered and trivialized everything, but 90% of the stealth and exploration was designed around it being mandatory. Every other ability either further trivialized stealth, or was just combat focused and therefore useless for stealth.

For fans of stealth it was mid. For fans of action and combat, well, they got Spec Ops The Lined at the end, so most are pretty salty about that.

>>717228901
>Chaos is scored
And you will always get the good ending if you only kill the people the game tells you to kill. There is nothing forcing you to do the nonlethal options, that's a choice you make yourself.

>He's a bad person who is hurting the city!
bullshit, you're just an autist that didn't play the game/understand even the most basic

The gang was actually keeping order and selling elixir that kept people from getting the plague. Granny rags wanted to kill him and have the elixir they sell contaminated so it affects more people, it's obvious whatever her sacrifice of him was going to do would make life worse for anyone living in the city.

>She's not seeing you do shit.

She figures out what's going on, that he dad is a mass murderer, she's not retarded like (you)

>You get good boy points for doing arbitrary actions.

It's not arbitrary, killing = bad not killing = good, but autists

> Stop giving the player a gun if you don't want him to use a gun!

Or only use it against your actual targets, moron

>>717229035
>I played on easy and it wasn't hard, what gives?

I enjoyed both games. First one I did mostly stealth, second I did stealth as corvo and made emily a genocidal maniac. It was pretty cool. Glad I don't have autism and can just play games and have fun, to the fags arguing over asinine shit here due to crippling tism: sorry for your struggles, that shit's gotta suck.

>>717229486
>To the people who have a brain and think critically about their entertainment, that shit's gotta suck
Honestly, it really does

>>717229447
the game is built to be a power fantasy. it’s brain dead easy on the highest difficulty by design

>>717225865
plays way too well and doesn’t have enough bugs to be a bethesda game

>>717225663
Thief 3 gold at least takes a game that's dogshit and makes it kinda suck instead. The connected levels alone, even if it results in goofy long hallways, makes the game way more playable. Too bad you can't mod out the game intentionally crashing during loading screens.

>>717219271 (OP)
>quick save, blink, quick save, blink, quick save, blink...
I regret getting memed into the no detection pacifist run. I was so bored, I swore off stealth and fps games for years.
Maybe one day I'll give it another shot and play it normally.

>>717226421
Do you think that because you can do something that you should? Or that people will agree with you no matter what? What do you think being the protagonist matters to someone that has no concept that their world is a game? To them you’re just a psycho. Not to mention you can kill every target and not get the High Chaos ending. Just don’t be a retard.
