Best Action/Adventure Game 2012

Good thing about the new ip. Unfortunatly i think this game was lacking ALOT. For me it felt like a half full bucket. I cant find a better title though.

Played it, beat it, and had some issues. One is that damn moral choice system, which made me go through the game ignoring all the non-stealth related powers and weapons.

Far worse though is a baffling world design issue. Whale oil powered disintegrating weapons with advanced IFF features aside, how is it that Dunwall is a city where most buildings have running water, and yet no one has managed to improve upon the concept of the chamber pot?!

Another good pic...I am liking so far

Guess I need to play it then. Dan buy it for me on Steam. Pleaseeeeeeeee! :-)

Dishonored was a good choice. That or AC3 would have been fine.

dishonored has been getting alot of love... its nice to see a new studio not only make a good game but also be appreciated for it as well... i feel too many good games dont get played by the masses and are forgotten... (ex:The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay)
while average sequels of existing franchises rake in millions...
IMO too many gamers seem scared to try something different...
ill be playing dishonored sometime after christmas...

yes... i really enjoyed assault dark athena... while not as good as escape from butcher bay, it was fun and i really enjoyed using the ulak blades with their brutal executions... spending more time in a awesome game world is a plus as well... on top of that is was fun revisiting butcher bay with updated visuals... i really hope they make more riddick games, IMO their the best movie games ever made!

While I agree that Dishonored is the better game gameplay-wise, I would strongly disagree that it has "deeper characters" than Sleeping Dogs. Dishonored's characters are pretty 1 dimensional really. Everyone in the game is a contemptable douche excluding the main character and the little girl who is kidnapped. And the twist was obvious as soon as you meet the loyalists. Sleeping Dogs is about an undercover cop struggling with his desire to be a moral person and the feeling of brotherhood he develops with his triad gangmates.

Stick THAT in your throats and bleed to death, jury of my peers!

I've noticed a commonality among critiques of Dishonored: they're all wrong. I'm pretty sure God sent this game to the Israelites while they were wandering through the desert.

Okay, real commonality: The game is 'half-done' or 'too short' or 'not quite finished'. I think Dishonored is just a different experience than most AAA single player titles. The latter are designed to be completed as a continuous campaign, with literally hundreds of side-quests and collectibles and cut-scenes to decompress the main narrative.

By comparison, Dishonored is compact: the game is much shorter, but there is no throwaway game play or hours of tutorial missions. The setting and characters are ambient instead of exposited. Levels are discreet and can't be revisited. The experience system requires no grinding and rewards ends instead of means. Everything about the game is designed for multiple playthroughs to give I'm out of text.
