You know what have been a better narrative is that Corvo and Emily were separated and that Corvo would stay in Dunwall eliminating Delilah's allies and Emily would go to Karnaka. I'm not saying I hate the game, it was FANTASTIC to play I just wish they had their own narratives to play through. Like two stories in one game. That would have been awesome.
I thought the same, but it would require them to make AT LEAST 7 more levels while keeping the same amount of polish. They could have reduced the amount of levels each storyline had, but that would mean cutting some fantastic content, so... There's always fanfiction :P
I think they should do another where either 1 is on one mission and the next happens canonically at the same time as the other character. Or a multiplayer that would be hilarious.
@@neopath5998 i agree with you, if you ever played Transformers: Fall of cybertron every level was a different character's point of view but in another level you could see the previous character you played as doing something, but you see it as a different character in a different point of view.
Attention citizens and visitors to our city. By order of the regent, all dishonoured reviews has been prohibited unless accompanied by a member of the watch. Also, a RU-vid wide ban of all whiskey and cigars except for Dunwall brand whiskey and Dunwall cigars is now in effect.
I personally really liked how there are nonlethal counterparts to near every lethal option. In the first Dishonored, it was a pain to do low chaos because you could only stealthily choke someone out or use your very limited sleep darts.
leon bushnell yeah the jet lighter is pretty awesome. hey man I've been there used one of my stoves elements to light a cigar before but hey at least I had a cigar that makes it kind of classy right?
Spoiler: (Stanton mansion). A part in the game that I love so much is the Mansion where we can go to the past / present. I was like "I wonder if one day, they'll really do time travel well, like if I kill/Stunt the dude that will go crazy, He will not be with Delliah and the manor will be fine" I save, and test that, just for fun. THEN BOOOM the manor is fine. I was REAAAALLY impressed, that game is so good.
Honestly, that's very arguable. In D2 you could in real time see another time dimension through the heart, changes you do in the past have more impact on the level and game themselves. In TF2 time traveling is faster and somewhat more fluid. Plus you have some cool interactions on the level. But that's it. Personally, I prefer D2 variant, but TF2's variant very cool too.
That's actually a bit difficult. Indeed, the main story is mostly around Emily getting her throne back, while seeing how her subject was suffering under her. But the side plot with the Heart, is definitivley for Corvo, with seeing how he himself has changed. (going to his house, finding out how his mother lived after he was sent away, etc.) So if I am to answer your queation with any conviction, I need to do more research. But now, all I can say that it works for them both
it's so obivious that you take the making of your vids very seriously. very creative and funny. the fact that u do it in a foreign language to you is very admirable. keep it up buddy
It was nice seeing sokolov again, and his reactions to seeing Emily and Corvo again in Jindoshes mansion. Also, I played Emily first because I like to try new things, and Corvo after. I personally like playing Emily more story wise because I didn't want Emily to still feel like a little girl waiting to be rescued, and learn more about her. One of the most interesting things was finding out about her affair with Wyman, and her perspective on things. Overall, if your playing Dishonored 2 and wan't to see Corvo again for nostalgia, play him, but if you want to see how she developed as a person, play Emily.
I love imaging the thought process for the opening of this video. "Properly lighting cigars takes too long to make for an interesting shot... I'll just barely scorch it, most people won't tell the difference!" Incredible.
Hurrah! Dishonored has to be one of my favorite games in the past decade. I wonder if there's any new content based on if you have a Dishonored save file. That sht wld be epic.
Interview came out today that said there should be a major patch for PC this coming month, in addition to New Game + and "customizable difficulty". So don't lose faith on the PC version just yet :)
love the whisky and cigars reference. I'm glad to see another dishonored fan like myself. I've played the first dishonored 100+ times and im about to start my 2nd d2 run after beating it in 2 days. my favourite part was the teasing to dlc at the end. great video sir. we should gather for whisky and cigars sometime:)
Aside from the narrative nitpicks (Flow of ending resulting from choices), a similar thing I have a problem with is the choppiness of some of the voiced line delivery. If you listen to the outsider or any other character speak, they have this rushed feeling, leaving no pauses between sentences. Even though the lines are well acted, it sounded like they were done by a team trying to finish up within a few minutes. This made the outsider, who I enjoyed listening to in his pondering, thoughtful speech, seem like more of an exposition machine to give Corvo backstory on targets as quickly as possible.
Just found you out through the Doom and Dishonored videos and wow, we have the exact same doubts on what makes Dishonored so great, nice video and cheers from Brazil.
HECKIE a review that didn't cry about the outsider's new voice (i personally love it) or that the lore was a little "cliche" thank you for putting so much time and effort into this, subbed !
I so classy AF that I kill my enemies with whiskey and cigars. I'm so good in fact I heard I might get my own sqaud, but I hear that might not happen because of someone named Daud DAMN YOU DAUD!!!
I really enjoy your videos! You deserve ALOT more subscribers... I loved Dishonored 2 as much as you did, amazing game! Keep up the good work on your videos, and I hope to see more in the future!
I totally loved Dishonored 2. And i gotta agree with you on your points. The game felt a bit short to me, and if i wasn't going after all runes and bonecharms i would have finished it for the half the time i did originally. And the final mission was indeed kinda underwhelming. I finished it pretty fast, was not detected once, and it just ended pretty quiet and easy, although i didn't manage to use correctly the corrupted rune and i had to kill her. I expected a bit more from the end and just a little longer gameplay maybe. I liked it that i couldn't find any codes online and i had to do everything on my own. Definitely improved the game for me, wasn't too hard. And i agree with a comment bellow would have been awesome to have different lines for Corvo and Emily.
Arkane used the same method in Prey's ending ("this person and then this person and then..." etc) for better or worse. I've put hundreds of hours into Dishonored 2 and Prey and while I love them both immensely, I'm just not sure why they've decided that this approach is the way to end such outstanding (imo) games.
Loved this video as well. The effort is overwhelming. I subscribed, and liked, I really enjoy these Dishonored videos. Great videos and fantastic channel truly. It has actually been a while since I have discovered such a good channel. So chill, its like sitting down and having a chat with a friend. Wonderful.
Trust me the story that build up the character corvo is one the greatest story of gaming history without a doubt. I loved the game since i was in highschool. Still when i see the gameplay it gives me the same chilly feeling.love u corvo.
Hey, i hope i am not late. The game has a different chaos scale from the first game. Depending who you kill, rather than how much you killed. Which is adding way more importancy to the Heart. (btw, love your videos. Keep up the good work!)
Okay, first things first, I don't have a powerful rig and when I say, it falls in mid-low range... I have an AMD Radeon R5 M330 (which actually doesn't even meet the minimum requirements) and I can play Dishonored 2 without any kind of issues... I was also worried that I might never be able to play the game but the game is completely patched and I didn't witness any kind of glitch or even the dreaded frame drops.... And, with the addition of New Game + and other updates, I think Arkane Studios have pretty much surpassed its predecessor.... Yes, story-wise, I think Dishonored 1 was better but frankly, I think in games like Dishonored, gameplay is the most important aspect... And, personally, I feel that Dishonored 2 just refined and perfected the gameplay experience... The AI is more challenging and I think, D2 is a game where it's up to you to discover the story... There is a main story which is on the surface and there are all these stories that you discover reading notes, listening to audiographs or inspecting various objects, like paintings are so well done and really helps in building the lore of the world... Frankly, I am so thrilled to play again as Corvo and the sub plot of the Heart which we now know contains a fragment of Jessamine's soul.... My eyes were literally wet with tears when I watched the farewell scene between Corvo and Jessamine (especially in Low Chaos).... I think, it was the most powerful scene in the whole game.... The main story belongs to Emily but the environmental stories and other sub plots like the one mentioned above, definitely belongs to Corvo. I enjoy playing with both the characters but I preferred playing as Corvo, either due to sentimental reasons or just because I felt he was the character that I could connect with more.... My first playthrough took me nearly 80 hours to complete because I was literally spending at least 8-12 hours on every mission trying to find every single collectible (runes, bonecharms, paintings or blueprints), along with reading every note, book or listening to audiographs and conversations of other people, or even the Heart.... But, once you familiarize with the level and mission designs, it is actually possible to finish a mission in about 20-40 minutes.... In fact, in my brutal speedrun where I only focused on completing the main objectives, it just took me about 6-8 hours to finish the game... Addition of more non-lethal items and powers which can either be used for both violence and stealth have just enhanced the gameplay experience.. I loved the protagonists (even though, I loved the silent Corvo) are now voiced... Sometimes, they really make some moments special... For example, there is one really beautiful short scene in the Royal Conservatory mission (with Corvo), where he talks how Jessamine didn't like her hair styled as a bun but preferred to let her hair free.... Or, a scene where a pair of Overseers are discussing about how the head of the Overseers lost all of his respect and was ruined for life when he was branded (speaking about low chaos assassination in the first mission of the original Dishonored) and after hearing it, I was literally stunned for a few short moments.... These scenes are so short and simple, but they just make the game even more memorable... And, the best part that people who are rushing through the game will miss it... So, those who spend time exploring it will definitely have a more rewarding experience.... Bonecharm Crafting is really wonderful addition and can make a hell lot of difference in your playstyle and experience, especially in later playthroughs (or even the first, if you know what you are doing)... They just add to the whole Dishonored philosophy of 'play as you desire'.... New Game +, No Powers mode, unique and amazing level designs, different approaches to tackling the same objective just provides the perfect platform for an infinite number of possibilities and open the door to countless number of playthroughs and a ton of replay value. Must have for any gamer.... With the issues on PC now fixed, this game should be part of every person's library...
It doesn't matter if it plays flawlessly now; when it was released, it was trash. Now it has been patched, and it is pretty perfect, but when you review a game, you have to take into consideration what state it is in when it is out the gates. And all of the stuff they have added later "should" have been in the game at release; the mission select was in D1 at the beginning! Why not here? Today it is a complete experience, but when I made this video, it felt unfinished. I myself said that Dishonored is about the gameplay mostly, but that does have its negative that some stuff, like the heart, takes a backseat when it could have been something truly special. I love this series, but in my eyes, they have become less and less fantastic with each game: D1: I love it with a passion D2: I like it alot, I consider it a good sequel. Could have been better, but still good. Death of the Outsider: F-ing hate it. Should this be a "must own"? Personally I think not, as this genre isn't for everyone, but for those who enjoy stealth with super abilities; then yes, absolutly.
King J. Grim I agree with how u like the 1st game and I agree with death of the outsider but for some reason I just don’t like the 2nd game, idk what it is about it it just doesn’t make me feel the way I did when I played the 1st game
To me Dishonored 2 is to the first game what Bioshock Infinite was to Bioshock; an amazing game that gave me (and will continue to give me) hours of fun, but when compared to the original is not just as good.
Huh? I get how it sucks you can't see the chaos of your actions on the districts you have been through via going back to them but i think that them not wasting an entire level on the same area as you have already been to is much more beneficial. But if it's personal i guess i can't argue that
You seriously deserve so much more appreciate for the effort you put into this, awesome video man, unlike most reviews this actually has a humour to it and I actually found myself laughing at parts, I know how much time it can take to make these videos but I seriously can't wait to see what more you have to make, keep up the good work man!
Considering that you have literally "Literally" in your name; your comment truly makes me happy. RU-vid is a place where everyone makes their own content, yet try to compete and copy works of those above them, so when hearing that some enjoys the work of the creator, it truly means a lot. ...that was the serious part, THANKS FOR WATCHING!
That game was brilliant, dropped a few frames yeah, but it was nowhere near bad as some people speaked of it. Dishonored 1 was probably my favourite game in all existence just because of the gameplay aspects and the story revolving all around you and what you do instead of preset lines. Also, I respect the guys who could keep themselves from going on a killing spree on their first run of the game. After all that betrayal and plotting against you. I made sure I killed every hostile on every level, on both games.
It would be sick if they made a third game, Where you have a squad of the outsiders people. The ones who have powers, And you have to stop another group of people with powers. And the whole world depends on it.
Who's power set did you prefer? I found them more viable to specific chaos goals. High chaos was WAY more fun with Corvo, while Emily is a better fit for being a sneaky Pete.
Joseph & Kimberly Woodard can't really put one above the other, they are both fun to play. I will say that I was a bit let down by Emily's shadow form, as it pretty much only give you two stealth abilities, and no combat capabilities, plus would've been dope to have some special animation kills on the targets with the shadow form. But if I had to choose one, I'd say Corvo's powers, so much fun to play with the time ability
Haven't really used the swarm that much, don't really know how to use it in the entertaining spectrum of the gameplay department. Everytime I use it, it just feels so OP.
When you smoke a cigar you don't apply the flame directly to the cigar, that chars the cigar and gives a nasty flavor. What you do is you heat the air around the cigar about half an inch away and you turn the cigar so you don't just heat one part of it.
I liked the game but I will say the original had way better character, this one did have a spinoff feeling to it. if you ask me they should just skip the corvo/emily story and go into a completely different time period and characters for the next game.
Dishonored is also one of my favorite games, but I can pinpoint very clearly why: First Artwork, Second: It is a game - you choose how much Story you want, how much you want to know about the npc etc. Modern Games have the problem that they have awesome stories - but are plain movies interrupted by 'gameplay'. Cutscene -fight/riddle - Cutscene - fight/riddle etc.
Dishonored is one of my favourite games because it manages to make a Victorian setting that doesn't make me puke whilst shouting "STEAMPUNKS F*** OFF!"
I've been playing it again a lot recently. I've done a ghost no kill stealth run and 2 high chaos runs in the past 2 weeks. Now I'm doing a no powers merciful run. I love this game as much as the first except for one area, it doesn't feel as personal as the first game. I did play the dlc for the first game but i don't think delilah is as good of a villain is hiram and havelock. They weren't entirely good nor evil. They just pursued power, tried to do what they thought was right and they made big mistakes which ended up crossing you. In Dishonored 2 it's more like you're the chosen one going to save the world. Delilah is just objectively bad for the world. She takes power, her witches kill a shit load of people and they wipe out the overseers. The duke is infatuated with her to the point he overworks and kills his own citizens while not controlling the grand guard who abuse the citizens. He also leads serkonos into a losing war with the other kingdoms loyal to emily. It lacks that moral grey area with those 2. Also in the opening of 1 you see pretty much every target for the first act of the game except lady boyle, then the assassination happens and then you get locked up, tortured and imprisoned then they want to kill you. In the second game Delilah and the Duke show up, say they're taking over, freeze the character you didn't pick then lock you up, which you escape from immediatly. Honestly it just didn't give me much of a reason to hate them as much. At least i didn't feel as much hate towards them as i did to campbell and hiram and havelock. Sidenote why didn't Delilah just kill Emily and Corvo or lock them away somewhere that was actually secure instead of giving them to Ramsey? I also love the idea that if they closed the windows the game would've ended there 😂 One last thing the 4th missions are the fucking same, you go through 3 areas to get to a genius' house where they create new technology. Both introduce and new piece of tech into gameplay for the series (the arc pylon and the clockwork soldier) and both are the first missions in their games to use the arc pylon. In both missions you have to get to the office which is on the highest floor to deal with the genius. Both involve carrying an unconscious Sokolov back to your allies
Don't hold back on your review, just make sure to forewarn that spoilers will be discussed. I felt underwhelmed by your not explaining why you were underwhelmed with the ending.
im really hoping for a daud dlc, or even a billie lurk escape dlc, possibly returning to some areas after corvo/emily have passed through. when meagan got her arm back after the player alters time in Stiltons Mansion, she would still assumedly have the outsiders mark that daud 'gave' to her. if the player didnt alter the timeline you might have to play as meagan foster with only a knife and no powers. would be cool, dont think they'll do it, but im hoping for dlc similar to knife of dunwall really
