Dishonored 2 Is Your Favorite Sequels' Favorite Sequel | Dishonored 2 Review 

I like when he says "It's dishonoring time" and then dishonors all over the place

@@SuddenlyPaulP That line is pretty good but I prefer the part where Dishonored says "And now I am become Death Of The Outsider dlc."

@@arkham666 agreed. masterful writing

EUGHHHHH I’M DISHONOOOORIIIING!!!!!

The best dishonored arc is when daud says "I'm the knife of dunwall" and corvo replies " and I'm dishonored"

The best part about clockwork mansion is going through the space between the walls so he never knows you're there. Stumping a genius.

I thought about Constantine's Mansion in The Sword from Thief The Dark Project. A plant-filled pagan paradise, which is at the opposite extreme from the Clockwork Mansion. Love both missions!

I actually noticed another cool parallel between Dishonored and Thief - the shop screens between missions in Thief and Dishonored’s DLC. Same vibes down to the creepy ambient music

Lo, how easily evil is felled when the righteous hold the mace.

@@elijahproto But I enjoy Jindosh's commentary as I crawl through his house and steal all his money.

This and Lady Boyle’s Last Party are some of the best missions ever

Hey thanks a lot for subbing and welcome to the channel! Yes it’s a ridiculously well crafted level and what’s even crazier is that it doesn’t come down to choosing between option A, B, and C - you can mix and match

This comment made my day. Thank you

Thank you so much Steven and sorry for the late reply, I missed your comment :( comments like yours is why I persevere with this YT thing

Thank you, you’re making my blush! The thumbnails are all made by a dear friend of mine who’s a very talented graphic designer (link in description). I come up with a rough concept and he does his magic

Thank you!!!

My thoughts on DOTO: mid. Granted, I might’ve been burned out by the time I got around to playing it. Might be worth a revisit in the future

Personally I prefer the energy system in DOTO since I’m always too careful with preserving mana, it allows me to play more aggressively or fast without necessarily worrying about much, just a shame that there aren’t many powers to use compared to 2

Thanks man!

100%. I wish that were the case in real life

NO U

Thanks brother!

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for subscribing!!!! ☺️

Remember when Sokolov said “I’m something of a dishonored myself” and proceeded to rant about how being dishonored ain’t what it used to be when he was younger

@@thesummerofmark And before dying the empress says "With great cigars come great whiskey"

​@@TheWritter-qo9ty😂

@@CITYZEN50 Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight?

@@TheWritter-qo9ty indeed, I think so.

Oh yeah, I read an article about it! It’s on my radar

Thank you so much for watching!

Morley sounds pretty dope as a setting tbh. I’m not so sure about Billie Lurk - I’d rather they went with a new protagonist

@@thesummerofmark yeah, but Billie Lurk is the main protagonist in the book now so I don't think they will let you have a second playable character like D2.

Thank you for your input. I adressed that part in another comment so i’ll just copy paste my response here: “What I meant by “punishment” was that (at least in DH1) the coolest powers were of the aggressive/lethal nature and you were “punished” with the bad ending for using them, whereas the non lethal powers were less interesting. However, in my DH1 video, I argued that non lethal play styles being “boring” and less flashy is thematically appropriate, as doing the right thing is hard and, well, boring. What I also forgot to mention was that you can kill like 20% of enemies on a given mission and still get low chaos, so the game lets you have A LITTLE fun”

That’s John CORVO ATTANO Dishonored to you, sir

Thank you! Much like Prey 2017, I feel like Dishonored 2 is at times too smart for its own good. Its ambition is both its strength and its weakness - DH1 had a “simple” concept executed to almost perfection while DH2 doesn’t feel as cohesive due to the sheer scale and complexity of its systems

I totally agree, D2 should have gotta way more critical acclaim.

HELL YEAH

Not everyone talks in romanian, bai tarane

@@jackalbush1303 Cu toate astea, Boschete Şacal, toata lumea ar trebui sa vorbeasca limba romana. E frumoasa, bai troll nemancat ;)

HELL YEAH BROTHER

Same here. Dishonored will always hold a special place in my heart

Oh yeah, I totally see where you’re coming from. What I meant by “punishment” was that (at least in DH1) the coolest powers were of the aggressive/lethal nature and you were “punished” with the bad ending for using them, whereas the non lethal powers were less interesting. However, in my DH1 video, I argued that non lethal play styles being “boring” and less flashy is thematically appropriate, as doing the right thing is hard and, well, boring. What I also forgot to mention was that you can kill like 20% of enemies on a given mission and still get low chaos, so the game lets you have A LITTLE fun. I hope my rambling comment made sense haha

@@thesummerofmark Absolutely! I mean, you explain yourself perfectly in the video, it's just that "the chaos system punishes fun" is something people often say without nuance. This is a bit off topic, but what did you think of the Flooded District levels, as someone who liked the level design a bit more than the character/story stuff? For me, it's one of the best parts of the game. It's Dunwall's society at its worst, it's meditatively bleak, it's urban decay at it's most extreme.

@@azraphon oh I loved the flooded district! Corvo is sold as this scrappy, street smart dude who worked his way up Dunwall’s social ladder (he never quite fit in amongst those high society types) so it was really cool to see him in his “natural” habitat. I also loved it from a level design perspective, there’s some crazy verticality in that levels and lots of nooks and crannies to explore

@@thesummerofmark Amazing. They're not popular with a lot of reviewers, but I look forward to that section of the game every time!

Haha, nope, absolutely 0 experience in both

Yeah, I wouldn’t say it’s trash, but I was super disappointed they went for Delilah as the villain. She worked as a villain in the DLC because Daud and her had history

I Dishonored the hell out of those 46 minutes

@@thesummerofmark he sure did

HOPE YOU’LL ENJOY

Multumesc frumos! 😊

It’s been a while but I do remember saying that Dishonored 2’s chaos system allows for more nuance. Like targets have different chaos rating - for example, killing Luca Abele nets you less chaos points than killing doctor Hypatia. Or are you referring to what I said about Dishonored 1?

@thesummerofmark yeah it was just when you critiqued the DH1 chaos system that you said it was punishing players for combat. It's a great and entertaining video overall but I just don't get people always complaining about the system punishing you for your actions (murder of guards who are not directly responsible for anything that happened to you). AFAIK You can even kill all of the assassination targets and still get low chaos and if you don't it really doesn't matter because at the end of the day it's just a nice little ending slideshow which ties up loose ends and gives more gravity to the player's actions. Might just be that I'm not that bothered by it anymore because I replayed all Dishonoreds multiple times, getting all the achievements with all playstyles and pretty much all endings. The absence of the chaos system in DOTO honestly kind of diminished the replayability for me because there were no major changes to the world based on who you killed. For me, it always felt like the chaos system kind of gave us two really different experiences, which are both above all FUN. Longer than I thought

@@AMaleDaG thank you for watching and your kind words! Yeah i totally get where you’re coming from - i meant punishing less in a gameplay sense and more from a narrative perspective. I don’t necessarily mean “punishing” in a negative sense - thematically speaking, it makes sense for the world to react and go to absolute shit if you’re acting like an asshole and murdering everybody. Looking back, one of my regrets was not spending more time fleshing out that bit better - but i’ll try do to better in future videos!

Pathologic 2

WORD TY

While I agree with the sentiment, I think world building and narrative require different set of skills. But yeah, they could’ve at least come up with a fresh antagonist. I was kinda frustrated to see the DLC lady in 2

DOTO had a “you can have a LITTLE Dishonored, as a treat” vibe to it tbh

Bro gatekeeping steampunk media smh my head

@@thesummerofmark B L U B B E R P U N K

LMAO

@@thesummerofmark Awesome vid, btw, dude :)

@@gaussyin thank you dude!!!!

Individually (in terms of missions) yes. As a whole, no. But you’re right, nostalgia really is a big factor here. I was 19 when I played 1 and 27 when I played 2. Two totally different stages of my life

@thesummerofmark guess I just get a bit defensive of 2 haha my bad. I feel like people put it down a bit and I think it's better in almost every way. I also never played them far apart. I got them as bundle and played back to back

Where did I say that?

@@thesummerofmark sorry, "The plot has never been this series strong suit" 5:20. I completely disagree. All of the choices and sidequests and options all fall under the story category for the game. Saying that an immersive sim does not need a good plot or story is something that I cannot agree with.

@@nonlinear3084 gotcha. I was talking about the main plot, not the side quests and all the choices you can make. There are tons of cool side stories and pieces of world-building. I love the world, I’m just not a big fan of the main story
