Dishonored is a 2012 stealth action-adventure video game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was released worldwide in October 2012 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Set in the fictional, plague-ridden industrial city of Dunwall, Dishonored follows the story of Corvo Attano, bodyguard to the Empress of the Isles. He is framed for her murder and forced to become an assassin, seeking revenge on those who conspired against him. Corvo is aided in his quest by the Loyalists-a resistance group fighting to reclaim Dunwall, and the Outsider-a powerful being who imbues Corvo with magical abilities. Several noted actors including Susan Sarandon, Brad Dourif, Carrie Fisher, Michael Madsen, Lena Headey, and Chloë Grace Moretz provided voice work for the game.
The game is played from a first-person perspective and allows the player to undertake a series of assassination missions in a variety of ways, with an emphasis on player choice. Missions can be completed through stealth, combat, or a combination of both. Exploring each level opens new paths and alternatives for accomplishing mission goals, and it is possible to complete all missions, eliminating all of Corvo's targets, in a non-lethal manner. The story and missions are changed in response to the player's violent actions or lack thereof. Magical abilities and equipment are designed to be combined to create new and varied effects.
During its three years in production, several versions of Dishonored were developed. Before the creation of Dunwall-inspired by late nineteenth-century London and Edinburgh-the game was set to take place in medieval Japan and seventeenth-century London. During development, test players discovered methods of exploiting the available powers and abilities to achieve unexpected outcomes; instead of restricting these techniques, the designers attempted to redesign levels to accommodate them. Dishonored 's music score was produced by composer Daniel Licht to represent London in the nineteenth century.
Dishonored received generally positive reviews, focusing on the missions' individual narratives and the freedom available in completing them. Criticism fell on the overarching narrative, which was considered predictable, and problems in controlling the player's character. Following its release, the game won several awards, including the 2012 Spike Video Game award for Best Action-Adventure Game and the 2013 BAFTA award for Best Game, and was repeatedly recognized as the best action-adventure game of 2012 and one of that year's best games. Following its release, Dishonored was supplemented with additional content focusing on the assassin Daud and his quest for redemption. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game are scheduled for release in August 2015. A sequel, Dishonored 2, was announced in June 2015.
You can clearly see the map art designer for Half Life 2 played a huge role in bringing this world to life. Wish he got more credit
Yeah. The metal barriers and the tall boys looks like something directly from Half Life 2
To be honest, Dishonored is more similar to Deus Ex more than Thief, since in Thief you get no innate abilities and have to really conserve supplies, while in Deus Ex and Dishonored you have lots of innate abilities and you don't have to conserve supplies as much.
Nathanael Eugene That's because the main level designer of Deus ex 1 worked on this. I think he was the director?
I like to think of Dishonored more as Deus Ex than a stealth game. Sure, stealth makes life easy if you can pull it off, but you're not up shit creek if you get caught.
I do agree the powers can be too powerful (granted they are fun to use). I hope No.2 tones down some of the powers down so you're not an unstoppable killing machine.
Major Fret Human Revolution is easier than Dishonored when doing Pacifist run, because it has frontal non-lethal takedowns. Also, I was able to avoid conflicts in many cases just by talking my way in.
Reloaded2111 That is true, but the general feel of the combat of the game felt more like a Deus Ex style game with exploration and choice in combat. Speech wasn't a priority in Dishonored like HR but I feel that suits the story. Corvo couldn't afford to be talking to everyone he met.
Admittedly the pacifism felt shoe-horned in. I kinda felt it didn't suit the game and some of the less lethal options for the main targets is to just get them to leave Dunwall and never be seen again seems risky for Corvo. I could understand knocking out guards if you're into the whole 'they're just following orders' thing, but I think the player should have been forced to get his hands bloody, but I guess that's me being a violent person >:)
Hmm. I find myself watching your reviews not because the game interests me so much, but because you are reviewing them. You're doing it right 👍😉
If anyone is on the fence with this one, now's the time. It's only $4.99 on the Steam summer sale right now. The entire bundle with all DLC included with the main game is only $10. Even if it is not a perfect game, definitely worth it at that price.
can you do timeshift? plox
Yes.
Gggmanlives lol my friend bought me Timeshift for my birthday because of your review and i think it's rad, too! Thanks, dude!
Is there any possibility for you to review the Brigmore witches and knife of Dunwall dlcs?
I thought you were gonna make a video telling us what you think about the new doom
Pixelgunner101 I was :(
"Sonny Jim" lol
You know what fuck this game, fuck it to hard when trying not to kill people
Lol generic, straightforward-fuck shit up gamet
I played a little bit but got bored and once I learned that killing people gave you the bad ending, I was done with it.
This game is one of my favorite games ever, and one of my favorite stealth games of all time. Such an amazing game. I hope the sequel tops this.
You know, usually i try to make a schmucky comment on your video, but tonight...nah i got nothing, i'm just happy your reviewing awesome games.
GG Gman GG!
+Salokin Sekwah Everyone else seemed to manage it lol
So... who else finished this game with 0 kills?
Also liked the good ending you get with that.
2SSSR2 I tried doing a playthrough without harming anyone and only using Blink and sleep darts. Still haven't finished it, as the game becomes really hard when playing this way.
The best way to play it :)
2SSSR2 I think you can get the good ending even if you kill a few people. I managed to avoid killing all but one or two enemies per level (with the exception of the final mission, where killing enemies doesn't count towards the ending), and still got that ending.
You can, but it's more challenging that way.
Irondrone4 as long as you dont kill more than %20 of total population you get low chaos ending . Also game becomes pretty easy when you watch and learn npc movements. Finished the game first time with clean hands and undetected achievement on hard difficulty . Second time on very hard high chaos . If you are aimed to do low chaos undetected . You only need to upgrade blink and agility, slow time too if you want more control but its up to you , in the end though Daud has better abilities than Corvo . Improved blink , tethering ( aka Pull ), stun mine makes Daud a better low chaos character .
This game is the best stealth game i've ever played. The replayability value is huge because you can play it so much differently every time
Thief series? Spinter cell series? Hitman series?
Metal gear solid series? Rocksteady's batman game series?
Deus Ex series?
Minh Duc Nguyen never played them, i'm ashamed.
Minh Duc Nguyen omg the Arkham games? You're a funny guy
I played it nude
Weird flex but ok
Nice
Too much information
Tell me more
I wish u a very good republic commando review, I wish u a very good republic commando review, thats all what i wish.
***** Wat no more Lebowski, also looking forward to pariah
wat
he shit all over it
Hey Gggmanlives, any chance of you reviewing [insert game here]?
Second Sight)))
Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight?
indeed, I believe so
this is honestly my favorite first person game of the 2010s definitely, it kind of encompasses a rare genre of simply "first person action adventure" which is a large part of why i like it so much. It's just too short honestly, number 1 complaint.
Try a no violence and no detection run.
Great game. Does need two things:
1) New game plus or some other way to replay old levels with all your new shiiiit.
2) Some mode to encourage you to replay with lethal combat rather than stealth, rather than making you feel like a dick for using the weapons they give you.
great level design and pretty original artstyle i love this game i wish more fps games were like this
Beat this game three times IN A ROW! Loved it, the DLC as well.
Can you review Hard Reset? It's on Steam.
***** Will do.
Gggmanlives Yeah good shout for Hard Reset
Hard Reset was fucking garbage
@@MrArgus11111 because?
I really love this game. This one got me into the stealth genre.
A great game that I never get tired of playing. Hopefully the sequel will be as excellent
Dan Ross dishonored 2 gameplay videos look amazing aswell
Great review, but Arkane is not made up of people from LGS; they were just influenced by them.
MajorPhilGraves there are a few tho
Gggmanlives Considering that you like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, have you played Metro 2033 and its sequel Last Light? Any chance you'll review those two games?
Regardless, keep up the good work, Gman.
Yeah, I will be reviewing 2033 soon!
Gggmanlives Oh lovely, looking forward to it.
great review, as always. I would recommennd you to take a look at a very obscure russian game called pathologic. It is one of the most underrated fps games of 2000s. not sure if you would like but still worth spending a few hours. I can't find a satisfactory review for that game on youtube
I played this game and all DLC and newer versions and finished them all recently searching for any game like this for months and nothing is comparable to DISHONORED, I tried Bioshock for example and it's meaningless just killing whatever you see in a dark , I mean I want something clever with great space like this game has, it's perfect to my opinion and I'm searching for other games like HALF-LIFE2 and DISHONORED , I'll be glad if someone help me with suggestion. thanks in advance
One of my top ten favorite games. I'm a little disappointed you didn't go more in depth about the dlc's or the lore of the game but great review as always.
Blake Bailey People get upset when I talk about the plot too much. And I don't want to ruin the DLC.
Gggmanlives Sure thing!
Blake Bailey DLC's of this game are quite good since you can play as Daud.
gast128 I agree, they're as good as, if not better than, the base game.
Main game + DLCs = 40 hours for me on first play-trough
You don't HAVE to use the powers or kill people. You could make this game into a pure stealth game if you want.
There is a decent and easy to install difficulty mod for the game on PC, worth a look if you find it too easy: www.moddb.com/games/dishonored/downloads/dishonored-ultimate-difficulty-mod-v04
One of my favorite stealth games of all time.
BTW SPOILERS THX MATE
Gggmanlives Great review man !!. Absolutely love this game. I'm glad that you like it. Btw, just a quick question. Will you consider reviewing other types of games rather than just FPS in the future ?
I can't understand this guy what language is he speaking???
Dishonored is a 10/10 game in my opinion. I love it because there are a lot of details in each mission, tons of ways to play the game, wide variety of abilities and weapons to use. And the story is interesting because the outcome depends on your actions.
This game is pretty good mix of steampunk and lovecraft punk.
John190assman And a dash of goth architecture for good measure, besides the art designer was the designer from Half-Life 2.
John190assman Lovecraft punk! I love it haha
John190 the homicidal maniac Even though it has fuck all to do with Lovecraft
***** It's Lovecraftian because it has WHALES IN IT?! So Finding Nemo is fucking Lovecraftian now?
***** Possesion wasn't invented by Lovecraft, Whales again have fuck all to do with Lovecraft, summoning rats makes sense because there's a rat plague clearly inspired by AN ACTUAL HISTORICAL RAT PLAGUE. You were saying?
yes, the game is too easy and short due to blink and wallhack. Too bad. I hope Dishonored 2 is better.
you spend a lot of time dropping bags of shit on the ground?
Minor spoiler:
If you give high overseer Campbell the heretics brand, you find him as a weeper later on in the flooded district. I thought that little detail was cool.
Pretty sure there was a note with him too
I agree with all the flaws about the stealth. I'd say the combat in the game is much more satisfying than the stealth, but not on the level Arcane's previous work, Dark Messiah. I'd prefer that game to get a sequel than Dishonored.
I always thought blink was so satisfying to use in this game, I don't know of any other games that have a teleport ability that feels so good.
Was a good game, mechanically, and the atmosphere was pretty rich at times, reminded me of Pathologic a lot. But those characters and story, dear god. I don't remember any other story-driven game where I cared about the fate of characters less than in Dishonored.
This is a great game... Love it... Thks dude for review
i cant find a video of yours without saying "SHIIIEEET!!!"
Truly my favorite game in the last 5-6 years if not more.
/u/Cookieslaughter here. Thanks again for showing the subreddit in the description :)
YEAH the long awaited review.
This is one of those games that were made 1 decade ago that don’t look too demanding for new hardware but fucks with my gaming laptop when everything in high. Just like payday 2 lol
I wanted to really love this game but ultimately ended up a little underwhelmed. It had everything going for it with style and Thief inspiration. There was a total disconnect with the main character that made me feel nothing for Corvo which lowers the immersion somewhat. The game was much too short, even playing stealthily throughout. Some of the powers are awesome, while others are lackluster. And you could not use more than simultaneously to really get creative (like use Blink while in Possession) The ending was terribly unsatisfying and anticlimactic. Still like the game alot though and looking forward to Dishonored 2.
And at the time of this typing it's $3 on Steam. Sounds like a no brainer.
It is a very good game but once i finished it i didn't have much urge to play through it again. It was fun while it lasted though.
Ok, here is what I don't understand. As someone who has played the game time and time again, using multiple play stiles and unlocking some of the hardest achievements in the game I have always failed to see why some people see this as a stealth game. Just look at the upgrades/spells you get: there are 4 spells which fit in both 'ghost' and 'fighter' play stile (Blink, slow time, Possession, Agility), you then have 4 which fit in the 'fighter' play style (Bloodthirsty, Vitality, Devouring Swarm, windblast), and then you have a whopping 2! in the 'Ghost' play style, 2! (Darkvision, Shadow Kill)!!!!!!!!
That coupled with the just plain bad stealth of the game. It just has last gen line of sight pseudo-stealth. Right so they can see me if I'm in complete shadows at the corner of a dark room but I am able to JUMP BEHIND SOMEONE on a MARBLE FLOOR and they don't even question it and everyone views that as remarkable stealth game play!?!?!?!?!?
Stealth games do not have a 'Stealth Mode'! That's what separates Thief from Oblivion. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun and enjoyably game it's just not a stealth game.
Axel Pelican you get a bad ending when you kill everyone other then that you are allowed to do what you wannt
Pretty much always agree with your reviews entirely. Keep up the good work dude
Ever play Timeshift? That would be an interesting one
Never really played Dishonored but it looks pretty good
Any chance of you reviewing Warframe?
Krion Its third person tough, but i would still want to see him review it
I've never played Thief, so I can't say anything about the similarities and such. But here it goes:
Personally, I've found that as I've continued to replay the game a few times, I've grown to resent it. Depending on your playing style (especially for achievements like clean hands, or collecting ALL THE THINGS) you either fly through the levels like nothing on any difficulty or you can just sit there, looking for everything.
As for the plot, I find the actually dishonoring ridiculous as well, and then after the exposition, it seems kinda flat to me. I also wish there was more incentive for the Outsider to grant Corvo powers. It really seems like the Outsider gave Daud and Corvo powers for his personal amusement.
I really love the art-style; it's very distinct and unlike many other modern games. I would like to see the textures a bit smoother; but as I've said, I found it very refreshing.
Overall I enjoyed the game a fair bit. I'd give it a 7/10.
Ummm excuse me, but the Outsider actually did that for his amusement(sort of). The Outsider is a neutral being and he even says that and also mentions that he has "great interest; you fascinate me; I expect a great show;" etc(depending on your actions) so yeah, he gave them the mark because of their role and circumstances on the events of Dunwall, but it is also to test them and see how they(Daud, Corvo) use their powers and how the events unfold by the usage of said powers.
you do a review about bedlam?
BTW, does anyone have an opinion of Dunwall City Trials? The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches were excellent DLCs, IMHO, despite the absence of Tallboys.
They really need to remaster Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Maybe also rework the combat if possible
oh man. i would buy the remaster version if done correctly. the game was amazing for its time. or perhaps a sequel
the walkers are not robotic. they are humans
100% COmpletion on steam achievments for all parts. Dishonored+dlc/Dishonored 2 :D Didn't have this much fun since Ive played Half Life 2 for first time :D
how did you mixed up a pistol and a revolver?
Pistol: www.nam.ac.uk/microsites/war-horse/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/103296.jpg
Revolver: media.liveauctiongroup.net/i/14389/14554259_1.jpg?v=8CF9A3B5AD8B9B0
I still love Dishonored, but having sunk a ridiculous amount of hours into replaying it different ways, taking different routes and finding things I'd previously missed, I admit it has it's problems, but they're not the problems I generally hear people talking about. A main one for me is inconsistencies in the games world logic.
One example: You are told that the more dead bodies there are, the rats will come, the more the plague spreads, the more weepers are created, so I thought, if I used shadow kill which dissolves the bodies into ash, there's no body to worry about, hence less rats, less plague, less weepers, but the game doesn't seem to take the absence of bodies into account. I played through the whole game being stealthy as fuck and shadow killing everyone and still got the bad ending. It's not so much the actual end I'm talking about it's more to do with what certain characters say and do, even though they'd have no way of knowing what an asshole I'd been.
Also, the main game lied to me about how visible I was to enemies. In the main game I could hide under a table and no-one would see me. I hide under a table in one of the DLC's and as soon as a guy walks passed he comes straight for me. I was like "Fuck you, Dishonored told me this was okay!"
This is quite a good game with a unique art style, though stealth games are not really my cup of tea. Contrary to the reviewer I found it quite difficult if you want to play undetected and not like a Rambo. The endings seems to be related to how much chaos you have caused.
gast128 I found it very easy even when ghosting.
Gggmanlives Yes, but you're the guy that always say that games MUST be played on the highest difficulty, something very few agree with.
Gggmanlives Personally, my Shadow/Clean Hands playthrough on hard was faster than my Normal/predator stealth/combat run.
GoodmansGhost
I never say that every game has to be played on the highest difficulty. Certain shooting games deserve to be played on the highest difficulties, but not everything.
Gggmanlives This. I don't recall you ever saying the hardest difficulty is a must for all games.
"Sonny Jim"
i completed this game only using blink and the weapons. i didn't bother studying the other powers i found it much harder
I don't find to this game to be all that similar to Thief at all mainly in terms of stealth. I found the stealth to very underwhelming as a whole due to the reasons you pointed out. The combat is good but I do get annoyed when people call this game a masterful stealth game when it really isn't.
Easy stealth game that doesn't require you to be stealthy if you don't want you say?
Don't mind if I do.
I really want to get into this game but the sneaking feels so broken. If Gman here tells me to keep at it and beat it I'll re-download it on Steam and play it again.
The Outsider was quite underused. With a little bit more depth in storyline the whole setting would have profited really well.
this is a broken stealth game IMO, I mean if you fail at stealth what happens? you just anihilate the enemy, you are an OP power house, there is no tension "I am screwed if they see me" if the enemy notices you, you just cut them into pieces, if the player is even more powerfull out of stealth mode than when sneaking your stealth game has some serious issues, what is the point of sneaking when you can single handedly just kill everybody, try this in thief or splinter cell or in any other clear cut stealth game
You forgot about the chaos metre and the consequences of having it high from the bodies you left behind
Leo Zen that's not a problem since you are too powerfull to deal with the additional guards anyway
You get a much better ending if you play the game stealthy.
If you get caught in a more traditional stealth game like Looking Glass Thief I would almost always load my last quicksave, whereas when I get caught in Dishonored I'd more likely kill everyone who caught me in Dishonored and suffer the consequences because that was more fun. Again you get a better ending and bragging rights by not getting caught at all.
***** that's good and all, but the game is also designed with the "guns blazing" kind of approach, therefore the player character must be equiped to deal with every situation, it a kind of power fantasy, yes the better ending is a good thing but it's the same motivator as collecting unique achievements, "shoot a guy in the head while doing backflip ten times in a row" if you fail at the 8th attempt it sucks but that is the only punishment, you just don't get the achievement, but the game works fine without it, if you don't care about achievements, the game suddenly lacks tension, and that is my point, you can try to play pure stealth, but if you fail, the only thing that happens is that you get pissed your run wasn't flawless
Jan P. But in mgs 5 you can choose to do stealth or not too
me:...replays a level 20+ times to finish a level in perfect stealth.
meanwhile Gman
I am just wondering but. Whow was he able to get nobles without their masks in the beginning of the video?
I actually liked how Emily (the princess?) talked. Then again, I liked every thing and aspect about this game, except for how easily you could sometimes wipe out everyone. I would have preferred it to be a little bit more difficult. When the news about Dishonored 2 came out, *I was so happy*.
Mal Cors I hate Chloe Moretz only because I'm not a fan of talentless famous people.
Gggmanlives I hope you were not trying to be clever there :x
@@Gggmanlives That is such bullshit. SHE HAS TALENT!
No real descerniable that the outsider does it, because every immortal character wants a specticle.
My favorite game.
And to annoy some people,
Dishonored>Undertale.
Andre Hernandez I scared to say it but so true there is one game series that better then dishonored
Jonathan Kreitler Let me guess, Thief the dark project and the metal age.
i dont understand how you can mention the chaos level and not mention that it effects the ending of the game. "no real consequences"
this game was AMAZING
WHY IS IT WHEN U PLAY DISH0NORED IN THE FIGHT SCENSE THE SCREEN GOES DARK THEN AFTER TEH FIGHT SCENES THE SCREEN GETS BRIGHT AGAIN
Bioshock crossed with Thief. Great game.
I'll give it another try, I didn't like it previously.
Wheres the republic commando man?
Rice Cooker Coming.
Gggmanlives in
his
video channel
Gggmanlives Oh i was talking about the guy that always says wheres republic commando review lol
Just a stealth aficionado's opinion, 2012 was a crap year for games, but Dishonored is a treasure and I have replayed it a few times with different styles and different spell upgrades. Viktor Antonov's (of Half Life 2 fame and glory) influence can be seen in the City17-esque look of Dunwall. The Tallboys (reminiscent of Half Life 2's striders) were a truly scary foe for the first go-round, but it is very gratifying to get the jump on them and stick them with your sword.
More Bioshock than stealth
The ending being effected by stealth or not sucks.
This game is awesome. but it has its fair share of problems.
First things first... when playing the PC version... MY GOD, the engine is so well optimized that there's virtually no loading screens! THAT'S AMAZING... but if you combine that amazing fact with the quick saves and quick loads... then there's no need to have a health bar or death screen at all!
That fact with also combined with the super powerful powers one has... makes the game TOO EASY. I mean, you could easily say.. "I'm not going to quicksave ever" but why not? if it is there to use?
That kinda takes away the rush and anxiety of having to nail an objective.
This is one game that could benefit from a fair save point system. That way the rush isn't taken from you while in battle
Idk, it is kind of odd how for some games I hear, "well just dont use the powers", and sometimes I don't. I made it harder for myself by not using any power-ups at all but thats just me; and even with that someone should say I shouldn't have to.
But its like the experimentation with the ways to kill targets, there may be multiple ways to kill or not kill someone, but for the most part people are not going to experiment and just take the easiest option presented.
I'm a huge Splinter Cell fan and one of the more recent stealth games I really loved was Styx: Master of Shadows. The lack of indication really put me off of the game at the first try. Trying Dishonored was annoying to me for that reason alone. A normal player might enjoy the combat alternative if he's spotted, but I prefer to know once I'm noticed why is that happening. That, combined with the fact that it is an FPS stealth game (which also put me off of Thief years ago) makes for a really confusing stealth experience.
I've always thought that what lies at the core of a great stealth game is being able to see. FPS already narrows your line of sight, but the fact that there is no way for the game to tell you what you're doing wrong when you're detected is a huge turn off for me.
I really want to try it and I want to enjoy the voice over by Susan Sarandon, John Slattery and Michael Madsen, but I don't know if I want to have the same disappointment with it. Thanks for making the video, I guess I will see if I have another crack at it.
I'm a big fan of your reviews and your taste. I noticed that you really like hardcore shooters and I want to recommend you Vanquish. It's a third person shooter, but kicks so much ass. It's been out for PS3 and Xbox for some time now.
hilarious joke you need a meter to tell you whether your hidden or not, use your eyes
What a supremely disappointing game.
Anyone else think the outsider looks like a young johnny depp
If that gun is a revolver I'm Steve Erwin
The light and shadows don't actually affect your visibility in Dishonored so it's all based on line of sight and distance to the enemy which kind of sucks. Also I found that you can be leaning out from behind a corner in plain sight of a guard but because your body is not visible to them, you aren't.
This reminds me in many ways of 'Styx: Master of Shadows', though it would be Styx that's inspired by Dishonored and not the other way around.
You can buy Dishonored with all the DLC for 25 Euro on Steam - at least until Feb. 12. (2016, 6hat is).
Not a huge fan of the supernatural abilities or the art style.
