Dishonored: 9 Years Later 

"Yes." ~ Bilbo Baggins

Yep

Yes please

How about the Dishonoured DLC first?

Man you've been doing these types of videos almost every time

It really does I love the painted aesthetics

It's called Art Deco, it's really nice

Well executed art and style in games like this keep them easily replayable and almost timeless in presentation I forgot the name of the artist that did the style and buildings but his stuff is worth looking at

A good art style will always hold up, BioShock still looks beautiful

@@deathtrap5556 Art Nouveau, not Art Deco.

yeah my friends kids who were just babies are going to school now. spacetime is definitely broken.

@@dasaggropop1244 we need fixes

@@VioletGogles i think this is just how this shit works. by the time we are 70 years seem to be mere seconds. i mean so much important stuff that defines you happens when you are young but then its just like yeah i finally got the raise i was fighting years for...maybe a marriage, a child, buying a house. but these things come in one in a couple of years, rest is just the same grind.

I probably did 30 hours on my first playthrough. Hell, I'm still in Brigmore Witches after getting all the cheevos for the main game and Knife of Dunwall.

I’ve beaten it over 600 times and just yesterday I got an ending I have never gotten lmao. I killed EVERY NPC including Emily haha.

FWIW, my first playthrough of Prey took 52 hours.

Broo I Have like 3 000 hrs on it Now

I just finished dishonored 2 for the first time with 103 hours on it haha

second one is masterpiece! I love more part 2 much more

@@art_means_artificial Dishonored 2 had a worse atmosphere. But beatiful at the same time.

@@crestfallenknight7983 the atmosphere was really good tho

@@crestfallenknight7983 worst atmosphere ?, dude that's absolutly subjective though, dishonored 2 atmos

I used to loath DH2 but i played it a few times and theres just so many options for everything i love it now, DH1 is my favorite of the two bu far though just the nostalgia when it came out and learning to play stealthy in middle school i just love this game

The dlc is probably some of the top levels of the series

Agreed though that’s also probably why I like Dishonored 2 far more from a technical standpoint. All of my gear with a single exception has a use in both lethal and nonlethal runs. That single exception being the spring razor. But a bottle and some rats you want dead may change that.

Lady Boyle Party alone took me 6h.

An average Dishonored stealth run with some reloading to get the Ghost (no detections) achievement usually takes me between 12 and 15 hours, depending on how much I still remember from previous playthroughs (I usually try to get all collectibles and bonus objectives so I explore the whole area).

I had 23 hours with dlc time included, don't see how you guys can take so damn long

@@fadibenshadi7165 I love taking my time in the play throughs as well. It’ll help you know the areas better your next play through

I got all the achievements for the base game and the dlcs in about 55 hours.

Same with Deus Ex...

@@victorhng Yeah the same situation. The first games sold well (Deus Ex in 2011, Dishonored in 2012) and the sequels not (both in 2016) gaming has changed in those years.

*dishonoured 2 didn’t sell well

@@michadomeracki5910 I actually liked Deus Ex Mankind Divided and replayed it twice recently. My only issue with the game was the PC bugs

@@victorhng Bro I like the second Deus ex and Dishonored just like the first ones. The sequels from 2016 are great games no one cared about, as I said gaming has changed and like you said bugs were big in both games that's because this era 2015- let's say 2017 was famous for not caring about pc, every pc port was bugged at launch, there were many games in which frames were stopped at 30 because console players would have gotten mad that consoles are weaker than pc. To ne honest I think gaming back then was even worse than now.

bioshock and dishonored are the best games of all time.

I'm also a bioshock fan and this game has becomes one of the best games I've ever played. Would you kindly, agree? Hint hint

its funny to think that Arkane helped out a lot for Bioshock 2, which is my favourite of the trio and then made Dishonored 1 and 2, so much talent.

@@donjefe409 never daud it

Swear it reminds me of Bioshock Infinite

I think 2 had better gameplay while 1 had a better story. Love them BOTH

@Pad Paper Oh, I guess, without any particular order it would be something like: the mansion, Central Yharnam from Bloodborne, Fountainead Palace from Sekiro, the early parts of Columbia from Bioshock Infinite and the RCPD from Resident Evil 2 (Remake).

I disagree. The second has technical issues and is full of levels like Clockwork Mansion and A Crack in the Slab that are a lot less enjoyable on repeat playthroughs. Also the animations are wonky and hitboxes are really bad. New powers are neat, though.

I'd almost say they did too good on topping dishonored 1 tho, since dishonored 1 in my opinion was just about the closest thing they could've gotten to perfect, yet they pushed it farther, and pushed fucking HARD to the point alotta the levels feel just overwhelmingly dense and large, yeah they improved overall gameplay and ai, but at the cost of 1's perfectly dense and sized levels, like thats what made it so replayable for me, where dishonored 2 doesn't really feel like it was built to be played multiple times back to back, it feels built more like bioshock or a legend of zelda game where you'd take a long break before playing again

Also i miss the more grounded plot of 1, where it was just alright, there's this house you gotta break into and kill this guy (or poke him with a stick in the face whatever you want), and then go home, in 2 there's time travel, moving houses, and even the more grounded missions have such unrealistically massive mansions it'd be impossible to live in without getting lost or needing like a skateboard to get around the long hallways, and as much as i love the idea of my target shredding it down the halls, it sorta just overwhelms me and makes me think way too much about searching each and every room instead of killing my target and getting out before i catch too much attention, y'know like an assassin would

My ratings: Dishonored - 8 Dishonored 2 - 8.5 DeathLoop - 9 Arkane is getting better!

@@TheMrNukeman love how you left prey out to not go back to a 8 😁

@@Prawnsacrifice I feel like it's pretty widely accepted that both Dishonored and Prey were better than Dishonored 2 especially if you count Daud's DLC.

@@LiamFarleyMA I don't disagree just found it to be funny is all 😁👍

@@LiamFarleyMA this, also I’m scared people are rating deathloop high because arcane made it, from what I’ve seen it doesn’t look as good I hope it is though and the story isn’t a mess like 2

I just played the dlc for the first time a couple days ago, i think the slight gameplay differences make playing daud enjoyable (mainly the time stop for blink) though i can agree with the delilah thing, though that could just be because i went from trapping her in a painting with daud. To minutes later, getting kicked off my throne by her.

Short but deep :)

the daud dlc is so good tho, shame you skipped it. I would even say its better then the main game.

@@stevechiang6103 i didnt skip it

Huh Daud DLC is probably the best written and imo most fun piece of the franchise.

Only other games where the vistas and scenery reminds me of painting are bioshock and elden ring. Great games

I really love this game but i think one of the few mistakes it did was having some of the non-lethal options essentially worse than murder.

@@janugur2241 Yeah there is no reason to stealth in Deathloop

I've just started it myself

True

sloppy? Dishonored 2 isn't sloppy at all, its not a perfect game but mechanics wise it improves everything that the first game achieved and don't even get me started on the art direction for Serkonos

@@thisbubblygoodness7611 I mean it's all subjective I guess, but in my opinion the art style was completely ruined, Dunwall didn't even look like Dunwall, everything just felt like an uncanny valley version of the original. The gameplay defenitely did no improve though, sliding is 10x worse, it locks your camera in place, everything just feels stiff, the whole controller is just simply not as refined as Unreal Engine's physics was. I guess they added kicking, and turned Corvo's blink into Daud's, and more non-lethal options. But that's about it, Excluding the clockwork soldier, I don't think there was a single new enemy in the game. I enjoyed the game, I just didn't find it as good as the original, and I'm sick of people saying it is far superior when it quite literally isn't, the story is just a rehash of a DLC from the original and it was awful in comparison too, it makes Daud's 2 DLC long effort feel pointless and the end of the second game kills her in practically the same way, meaning she could most likely come back if they were lazy enough to do that. And the gameplay is just awful (Except some elements of combat) I don't know how you can argue that it's not sloppy, the pc port was god awful and they still haven't fixed it, there's a beta branch on steam that you have to use to get it to be semi-playable (Extremely sloppy behaviour considering Deathloop currently has similar issues), Speaking of Deathloop, that game is literally stitched together from Dishonored 2, DOTO and Prey, and it still took them 4 years to develop and it somehow released with worse AI than Dishonored 2. This is going to sound very negative, but I really do like Arkane games, I just hate the way they're headed. Their new engine honestly sucks, and they're being lazy, and re-using major parts of old games is an awful practice and the worst part is, people don't notice half the time. Unless it's a re-used boat animation, people will boycott over that, they don't realise three quarters of Deathloop is just ripped code from previous games though.

@@bobross9370 i respect that, not sure how you mean by Dunwall not looking like Dunwall, that just makes no sense to me, Kaldwin's tower and its surroundings are the exact same as the first game's as for gameplay well im just gonna agree to disagree, i played on PS4 so i had game breaking bugs or performance issues, i suppose in terms of gameplay, im used to using the controller, i bumped up the sensitivity and as far as i can tell it plays similar to the first game with the non-lethal improvements and with the Dishonored 2's story... yeah fair enough, its not as good as the first game's, i don't think its bad, but its very simplistic but having said that, Dishonored 1's story wasn't exactly the greatest either, as the majority of both games is assassinating people who have wronged you, but at least Dishonored 1 has that Loyalist betrayal twist at the end and confronting Daud. the Knife of Dunwall DLC has the best story and i think we can both agree on that. even though you think Dishonored 2 degrades the ending for D1's DLC, Daud still saved Emily so i would still call that a win anyway thats just my two cents lol

@@thisbubblygoodness7611 Yeah I'd agree with Dunwall tower looking the same, the streets outside don't though, I don't know if it was the higher resolution/different style textures or what but it just felt off. Yeah I think the main problem is, console is so limited compared to PC in movement and controls that it feels almost the same as the first one, wheras PC they are marginally different, Dishonored 1 just feels more responsive and fluid, D2 Locks your camera in place and slows your sensitivity when trying to perform certain actions, the original didn't do that too much and when it did it wasn't really noticeable. I think the main problem with the story was the fact that they used the same characters in the same scenario they've already been through, they could have branched out into a smaller scene, you don't have to be royalty to be "Dishonoured", it's definition is literally "to treat with disrespect", the first game did it well because Corvo was on the run after being framed for killing the Empress (Actually being Dishonoured by the Lord Regent). Wheras this game Delilah is just evil the whole time, same as the last game. I feel like there's more meaning behind killing the people in the first one, the second one is more of a conspiracy mystery, it just feels empty and uncreative. However the world building was pretty good, The heart had more voice lines which do a good job of making you want to kill/spare civillians and the odd notes and rooms around have good stories to them, same as the first of course.

Except remember you're killing hundreds of innocent guards
