I'm pretty sure it's shape blood because it's clearly fresh, the amount is more than a human has, the street leads down to the docks and at the docks you literally see a captured whale on the stone
Flying robot Pizza I take 2-4 hours in every mission too but only because I wanted to look at the entire level, explore and see enemy layout so when I restart I can make myself look badass with stunts
I usually do a 'rough' first run to get my orientation. But on my second run you can make sure that I turn each and every stone and inspect every effing corner, so 3-4 hrs. per mission are realistic to get all the goodies and enjoy the scenery 🤓
Samuel McAuliffe I love stealth games and recently got an xbox one so im catching up with games I wantef to play sonce 2013. dishonored 2 seems like a game I.would like. I love action adventure and rpg games. but stealth games have a place in my heart like assassins creed.
He's also the voice of Mercer Frey, hell I've heard there's a lot of politics in voice acting; it would make sense that they use a lot of the same voice actors.
Choose the obvious character that the game wants you to play? That shit is too mainstream for me, I want to play as a attack helicopter in the medieval times with a leprechaun high on crack who knows how to save the universe from Allahu Akbar.
The reason the voice acting for Corvo is so good is because it's the veoice actor of Garrett from the original Thief games. When I first heard his voice I was like, "Yup this game is incapable of being bad now."
Having invested hours so far in Dishonored 2, I'm roughly at the same place as Gameranx in this 'before you buy'. So far the observations made by gameranx are VERY accurate (as usual) in describing the game mechanics and overall feel. Good job! Pick this one up if: 1. You liked Dishonored 1. 2. You liked the original Deus Ex. 3. You like first-person stealth/shooters/rpg with a supernatural gameplay twist. 1. If you liked Dishonored 1. Dishonored 2 seems to improve on every one of the (few) flaws the original had. My main point being is that I think playing lethal or non-lethal is more balanced/equally rewarded compared to the original. 2. For fans of the original Deus Ex (I know you're still out there!). Dishonored 2 reminds me a lot of the original Deus Ex. The freedom of choice in exploration, storytelling and gameplay-style feels similar. Which shouldn't be a big surprise seeing Harvey Smith having a major role in both of these games. 3. It's just a great game. The gameplay-footage speaks for itself. What you see is what you get. However if you wish to explore and invest in the lore, then you will find a lot of symbolism/metaphors for the world we currently live in...
@@kolorless-cat I still go back and buy very old games that I missed, heck I just played fallout 3 and new Vegas cause I missed out when they came out and they are still really good.
beating the game as Corvo so you can play as Emily on a new game+ save so you can use blink and all of Corvo's other Powers as he is super OP and the reverse is true, using domino or mesmerize as Corvo feels like you've unlocked a deeper connection to the void. 5 years later and dishonored 2 has aged like a fine wine.
10/10 GOTY for me easily. No other game this year even comes to the stellar level design, the amazing new powers & upgrade system that not only encourages but DEMANDS that you use them in new and creative ways. Art style, music, gameplay, gear upgrades, exploration, and story are ALL incredibly executed. There's also insane replay value here. The Clockwork Mansiom and the Crack in the Slab levels in particular might go down in gaming history as two of the most inventive and mind-blowing setpieces ever.
+BackfallGenius watched a few hours of gameplay of it and i have to agree with you. the clockwork mansion level was very well done. i dont have previous dishonored experience to compare it to either. but i could see it definitely getting special notice in the gaming community. the amount of different routes you could take, and methods you could go about taking them that were available, to some small degree reminded me of a hitman game.
It is? You realise so many console releases this year have also been plagued with issues such as games crashing on them regularly with Dishonored 2 not being an exception here. Plus console games are generally targeted at 30FPS on top of lower graphical settings and almost always(More recent titles) having adaptive resolution enabled on both XBone and PS4. Also, PS4 and XBone are already outdated after three short years where they're pushing for upgraded consoles(XBone S/Scorpio, PS4 Pro which actually performs worse not only in upscaled 4k but also in 1080 struggling for that 30FPS lock). I mean, shit. A two year old high end PC can run native 4k games maxed out(AA off) and easily meet that 30FPS target but PC gamers simply will not settle for a subpar experience where the standard is 60FPS across the board. So, yeah... Console is better, right? Not really, no... not even latest "gen" consoles(PS4 Pro/XBone S/upcoming Scorpio) can outclass two year old PC set ups.
Picked up the game yesterday and I must say, I have spent a ridiculous amount of time exploring and trying to find things as well as completing optional objectives, but in doing so I never felt like it was drawn out, it was engaging and fun actually.
just got the collectors edition. amazing buy. the mask is so Authentic. Also loving the fact that they still manage to include rats and whales despite (thus far) being mainly within a whole new place and how it shows how the ending of the dreary that was the first game has twisted into something 'cleaner' but not necessarily better
I bought this for my wife cause she likes the Thief series and I saw her play it. It kind of reminded me of what I have seen of this one. I got her the Collector's one cause you get the original, that neat mask, and the ring for only $80 on Amazon. Was this a good pick for her?
Yeah solid pick, I think she'll love this game. The first one also holds up well to the test of time, so I think she will get a lot of enjoyment out of both games.
Honestly I’ve finished this game like 6 times and I’m still noticing things that I’ve missed, not just in the levels but in actions I’ve taken affecting change in the world. I adore this friggen game
I know right! My biggest complaint is the VA is off to me in this game. The intro seemed like everyone was reading off a piece of paper and took no pauses between lines, so it was weird for me. Plus I liked the old monotone voice of the outsider in the first one...
+Zero Frost Lol, he praises every single game on before you buy and never gives any negatives. Literally just riding the hype train and avoiding fan boy hate, he's not consumer friendly and gives misleading info.
I'm playing Dishonored 2 for the first time (I haven't played the first) on my Xbox series S (yes I know, I'm a cheap skate) anyway, I can't believe how old this game is and I've never played it before, it's exactly my genre, the type of game I adore and it's probably up there as one of the best ones... How the fuck did I miss it?!? 🤦🏻♂️
I have been playing from early access and have been enjoying it the entire time and I have not had any issues thus far. I read in some of the reviews on Steam after launch yesterday that a lot of people running AMD rigs were having issues and I deduced from that there is an optimization need. This is especially clear to me as several of the people who had issues posted their hardware in the reviews and they had above the Recommended spec in most cases. So, I sincerely hope Bethesda and Arkane Studios releases a patch to solve those problems as this is an awesome edition to the Dishonored franchise and I want everyone to have as awesome an experience as I am. :-)
5:31 I know this is super super old now and this maybe helps no one. But throw the bottle or whatever , then move from the location you threw it from. They won’t know where you are
I did a low chaos Corvo run first, and I felt quite satisfied with how the game functioned. The characters all seem to have a level of connectivity by which your character can access another. It never feels as though a character in the game doesn't make sense or feels disconnected from the others. I also enjoy the use of notes in this game (which was also in Dishonored 1), where it gives you critical information for the mission. However, some of it was a little difficult to find, like the safe combination in mission 7. I spent about 16 hours on my first playthrough, and half of it was probably just looking for one last item, or trying to figure out the non-lethal methods of taking enemies down (mission 4 took 45 minutes alone). Overall, it was great, and most of my issues were just b/c I didn't explore enough, wasn't observant enough, or didn't think hard enough.
Yo, I'm loving this game so much man. I finished it yesterday in two sittings, the story kept me gripped and the combat/powers are incredible. I'd recommend it to anyone
As soon as I had finished my first playthrough of Dishonored 2 as Corvo I started a new one as Emily and when I had finished that too I replayed the first Dishonored game. Some of my all time favourite games
I got this on Gamepass recently. I'm about a third of the way through it and I LOVE it! Such a fun unique game that rewards creativity. Maybe I just suck at it but I thought this game was VERY difficult at first, so if that's the case for you just have some patience. You will improve.
my first play through, on the first mission I hopped on top of the train to escape to the ship, and skipped everything in seconds, beating it in around 3 minutes. it really is play it your way. i did it a second time to collect all the loot. such a great game!
Im doing a corvo playthrough, and i feel that corvo seems to be the natural progression of the story, so it seems they've done a fantastic job at making whatever character you play as seem the most natural. Definitely looking forward to the emily playthrough
I think this game was a big improvement from the last one. Not only does it keep those characers but also has their lives set in a desperate situation which I liked. I was wondering why Delilah was the antagonist since i had Daud(in the last game) kill her but now realizing that she is immortal makes it an important plot twist especially for people of the last game who played the dlc. Ive played through as Corvo first and loved his part. Ive currently started a game for Emily who is the main character for the game. I'm sure there are those huge differences as well. Gameplay is pretty good. The AI may be a bit dumb at times but is better from before. The story and gameplay make it all so fun. The game is sadly only 9 chapters which makes me a little sad. Karnaca is also a whole new and amazingly detailed city. I wish to see Dunwall in next gen, possibly in dlc. That being said, each level has its own uniqueness. My favorite being the puzzling Clockwork mansion. This game really gives an eerie victorian vibe. Really is a whole different game from others. I'd give this game an 8.7/10. Really worth the money, especially the special edition one that comes with the first game.
U forgot to mention that there’s new ways of take down which is bad ass. You can do take downs from the sky on enemies even slide and give them a big kick on their stomach. Blink has an upgrade that you can teleport in front of someone and kick them like your kicking a ball of socceur (it can possibly kill them or knock them down or still good to fight but vulnerable for a few sec). Even stun mines and etc. Also Emily has an upgrade where she can pull the enemies with her grapple thing so like that she can possibly catch them and choke the
3 hours into your 1st playthrough, and you were compelled to do a "before you buy" vid, why? I mean I'm a Gameranx subscriber and fan, but hey. Can 3hrs of gameplay warrant a "before you buy" vid, jus'ayin. lol
Dishonored 2 was a giant advancement towards the image that they were trying to reach with the first one. Personally, they catered to my complete stealth run through that I am sure other people have noticed. They included a quick save/ quick load option to speed up the process of perfecting your complete stealth run. Also, later in the game you find a throwback to older style puzzle games in a location that forces you out of your comfort zone. You have to pull levers to navigate through the labyrinth and maneuver around the guards which can see you from basically all angles. When you finally approach whatever target you're attempting to apprehend, you are given more options then simply slaughtering them or using a sleep dart. I felt compelled to actually explore and reload my saves to find the best route to take on situations which was very surprising since I remember basically just using blink to bypass all my threats in the first game. I would definitely recommend this game to everyone especially since it has a high replay-ability.
xXStretcHXx the point of the game is not stealth the point is to play you're way but it's harder to not stealth now if you just get in to a mission go to a building and start shooting you will die very fast I tried it once in mission 7 I went in to a room and shot someone and then I see 20 guards after me
I'm glad I pre-ordered this one. Completed my Easy/Kill'EmAll/Dark/etc run first, now I'm working on a perfect stealth/no kills run. After that, might try an Ironman or two. And finally - A Very Hard difficulty run for each character (try stealth, but will kill if stealth fails) If things go well, I'll be doing a VH Ironman run after that. My rating for this game is a solid 8/10. Really looking forward to the DLC (if) when it drops. #ShamelessSelfAdvertising Twitch - The Flat Dragon
Konrax The only thing bringing this game down from a 9/10 is the glitches and how touchy Far Reach is. Been playing with a lot of the other powers and Far Reach is the only one that screws up for me. Well, there's also the fact that the story is practically identical for both protagonists. Kanthide Haha, I considered it, but I just finished my Ghost No kills run on Dishonored while I was waiting to play Dishonored 2, so I went all out in the sequel as soon as I got it. Skyeater Yeah, I considered it. Might run a no powers after my Ironman run. The idea of taking enemies on with no powers on Very Hard is beyond me though lol. The thought literally scares me away from my PS4 controller lol. Thanks for the replies, everyone. Usually when I comment on gameranx videos my comments are completely sidestepped and ignored lol. That random feeling when you think you actually matter. And then it's gone xD Lates, all.
Rem I think the better question is why wouldn't you pre-order it? Play a day early, get a free copy of the previous title on PS4 (Because don't have PS3 anymore) and it has all DLC. Not to mention I love the game and have great respect for the developers. Pre-ordering games is the best way to show appreciation with little effort given. I'm lazy, too. Setting the pre-order meant that I could play it as soon as it was available (again, a day before everyone else plays it) and I don't have to deal with discs or setting up the download later. Get it all in one go from the PSN store. Seriously, what reason is there to NOT pre-order? Unless you hate stealth games with involving storylines... in which case why are you here?
Even though you can be versatile on both characters I found it easier for high chaos for Emily (link, pull enemies and doppelgangers) and easier to sneak as Corvo (or freeze time and run through a room full of enemies)
I think Dishonored 2 is a hands down amazing game. Got the first game with the pre-order and played that first for nostalgia and then jumped into the second with high hopes and I loved it. I'll admit though, I have some but not significant issues with it, such as Corvo's voice being the same actor used to voice Mercer Frey from Skyrim and it just pokes me the wrong way, making me immediately switch to Emily as my first playthrough. My low chaos run of the game, plus looking for about 60 or 70 percent of runes and bonecharms and ending the game took about 13 hours and 50 minutes. High chaos took about 11 hours and 50 minutes looking for only about 40 or 50 percent of runes/bonecharms. If your a completionist who's looking for the best ending, your looking at a solid 15-20 hour campaign. I absolutely loved the first game and this one, and would recommend it to anyone. Even if you don't like stealth, you could definitely go on a killing rampage in a hack and slash carnival with anyone you meet. My favorite power in the whole game : Shadow Walk. What is yours?
In the first game you discover that Corvo is Emily's dad by reading Havelock's diary located on the second floor of the lighthouse. Those who skipped reading missed out on the lore.
Being honest, started game 2nd time as corvo and i prefer him as a character and his abilities seem fresher, after playing emily blink is more refreshing than far reach. Corvo also makes little quotes about his past in Karnaca and that is why I prefer playing him in this game
I'm about 8-9 hours in D2 right now and I love it. If you're even remotely a fan of stealth games I recommend it. Also, depending on where you buy it, you can get a copy of the first game bundled in so you can try the first one out too
can u do before you buy for rainbow six siege again since year 1 dlc is complete and they improved the game so much that it has became one of the best fps shooter out there. please!!!!
Just played low chaos as Emily. My god. This game is so much fun. And there is a part where you can switch between 2 time lines within a second. I don't know if this was in any other game but it was fun. The story is made for Emily. That said if you want new info, play as Emily. Corvo is for old players that loved him. Emily seems to have more powers for non lethal. Corvo is very lethal.
I just want to say I'm playing Dishonered and I LOVE IT. It's a phenomenal improvement to the first game. My only problem is one glitch I've run into on PS4, which is if you purchase upgrades from the Black Market and then save, if you're killed or go back to the save after you left the Black Market, you lose the upgrades.
Kinda disappointed you didn't mention specifically if they added any new tools for a non-lethal playthrough. The first game was a bit tedious with lack of non-lethal options, to the point where I ended up just sneaking around most encounters as they ended up being a conga line of Blink, Choke, Hide body. I feel Deus Ex Mankind Divided handled non-lethal very well as it gave you multiple weapons, the ability to incapacitate with CQC and even a non-lethal version of some augs which were previously lethal in the game before it.
I am playing as Corvo as it is the only way it makes since to me. The reason to me is...she is the student and his daughter. It just feels more real to me as the guy protecting his way of life and daughter. I will be playing as her on my second run of course.
Troy Montana No, i was joking because this game is really well made and probably 90% of its players liked it and that 10% wouldn't even "waste" time doing a review on RUclips, everyone in Gameranx are gamers and probably fans of Dishonored...
I like Dishonored. But the problem I think with this sequel is we can't quite sure which storyline it follows in regard to the first game, as you know there is basically several endings in the first iteration. They should have not made Dishonored a multiple ending in the first place IMO. Alas, I still will get my hand on this after some price drop
Aphiet Aprianto actually they found a way to kind of mention the multiple endings in the second one. Depending on how you play the first mission (non lethal or lethal) when you talk with the outsider later he will talk about one of the two endings depending if you killed or not on the first mission.
On-the-spot, heuristic behavioral analysis of the player in the first mission, and then determining aspects of the player's future and past actions on that analysis? Damn, I thought no developer would ever implement that.
I started few days ago and i cant get enough. It´s pure goodness! ... and about photorealistic graphics... i feel like every game that DOESNT go with photorealism has much more charisma
Jindosh's Mansion has "one of the best views in Karnaca" and Stilton's Manor looks amazing Played the first one forever ago on ps3 then got all 3 games for the ps4 then I got the first 2 on pc because the movement is just better (played them all each time) Needless to say I think you should buy these games (Start from the first one)
That being said, it feels like a bizarro Dishonored 1. Not let me talk as as slowly and pretentiously as possible, maximizing my ad revenue and desperately trying to sound smart. That being said, it's a bizarro version of a better review. That being said..
i did my first playthrough as Emily and went stealth, avoiding killings and being carefull. second playthrough i went as corvo danny devito " so anyway, i started blasting."
Dishonored 2 restored my faith in gaming. I've had so many disappointments over the last couple of years, the latest of which being Deus Ex Mankind Divided. Dishonored 2 runs great on PS4 (though it had a 9GB patch on day one), has a detailed and varied campaign which can be tackled in many ways, and an intriguing story which doesn't try to be too clever or say too much. Everyone should own this game.

Are you dissing it or complementing it?
I really like how the new powers tree works. Rather than just linear upgrading, it lets you upgrade the powers based on play style more
ALSO! Corvo Attano is vocied by the same person who vocied Nick Valentine, the most beloved character from Fallout 4.
He's also the voice of Mercer Frey, hell I've heard there's a lot of politics in voice acting; it would make sense that they use a lot of the same voice actors.
He also voices Garret from the original Thief games, so Dishonored 2 is kind of a better thief game than Thief 2014
I actually chose Corvo.....you know because I'm not part of the mainstream....YOU JUST DONT GET ME MOM!
Infotor
Corvo's voice is porn, it's like playing Daud all over again
Choose the obvious character that the game wants you to play?
That shit is too mainstream for me, I want to play as a attack helicopter in the medieval times with a leprechaun high on crack who knows how to save the universe from Allahu Akbar.
Are you a reaper main too? WAKE ME UP!
Since this is an Rpg like game. I feel more connected to the male character as a dude. So I went with Corvo as well. His voice is porn.
The reason the voice acting for Corvo is so good is because it's the veoice actor of Garrett from the original Thief games. When I first heard his voice I was like, "Yup this game is incapable of being bad now."

the amount of different routes you could take, and methods you could go about taking them that were available, to some small degree reminded me of a hitman game.

BackfallGenius also the shitty pc port. you forgot to mention that. consoles also have some problems btw.
Can you guys do a video on how almost every triple a release this year has had shitty optimization for PC
Noah Kirkland Because console is better
HAH, fuck up Adrian
It is? You realise so many console releases this year have also been plagued with issues such as games crashing on them regularly with Dishonored 2 not being an exception here.
Plus console games are generally targeted at 30FPS on top of lower graphical settings and almost always(More recent titles) having adaptive resolution enabled on both XBone and PS4. Also, PS4 and XBone are already outdated after three short years where they're pushing for upgraded consoles(XBone S/Scorpio, PS4 Pro which actually performs worse not only in upscaled 4k but also in 1080 struggling for that 30FPS lock). I mean, shit. A two year old high end PC can run native 4k games maxed out(AA off) and easily meet that 30FPS target but PC gamers simply will not settle for a subpar experience where the standard is 60FPS across the board.
So, yeah... Console is better, right? Not really, no... not even latest "gen" consoles(PS4 Pro/XBone S/upcoming Scorpio) can outclass two year old PC set ups.
Adrian Console is better? Ha! Good one!
Does it hurt being that stupid, Adrian?
Do you think you'll get your own squad after what happened last night?
Indeed I Believe So.
Chances are very good.
Never doubt it
Sir.
Yes?
I just wanted to say... congratulations on getting your own squad.
Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight?
Best stealth game ever.
Ericsupreme lmao nice meme
Ericsupreme lol i don't think I've ever played through any assassins creed in a stealthy way. I usually kill everyone
well the older games' combat are really hard so stealth is sometimes easier.
yea but never played it
Mgs is crap😎no really I hate mgs
Picked up the game yesterday and I must say, I have spent a ridiculous amount of time exploring and trying to find things as well as completing optional objectives, but in doing so I never felt like it was drawn out, it was engaging and fun actually.
just got the collectors edition. amazing buy. the mask is so Authentic. Also loving the fact that they still manage to include rats and whales despite (thus far) being mainly within a whole new place and how it shows how the ending of the dreary that was the first game has twisted into something 'cleaner' but not necessarily better
I bought this for my wife cause she likes the Thief series and I saw her play it. It kind of reminded me of what I have seen of this one. I got her the Collector's one cause you get the original, that neat mask, and the ring for only $80 on Amazon.
Was this a good pick for her?
a+ husband material I'd say
He probably got it lol
Flynn Taggart You make a fine husband lol
Yeah solid pick, I think she'll love this game. The first one also holds up well to the test of time, so I think she will get a lot of enjoyment out of both games.
She didn't like the new one that much.
Honestly I’ve finished this game like 6 times and I’m still noticing things that I’ve missed, not just in the levels but in actions I’ve taken affecting change in the world. I adore this friggen game
Beta patch out today, works fine for me :)
Go into your dishonored settings and enable beta.
Chiyori Nakanishi Me too! I can actually enjoy the game now and not get constant collosal framedrops.
***** ?
The only problem I have is the outsiders new voice actor. His voice is to light then deep and maniacal
I know right! My biggest complaint is the VA is off to me in this game. The intro seemed like everyone was reading off a piece of paper and took no pauses between lines, so it was weird for me. Plus I liked the old monotone voice of the outsider in the first one...
Nicholas McPherson yeah they replaced him with the penguin from gotham for aome reason. Good actor in his own right, but he was miscast for this.
He sounds like an edgy teen.
L3cargo lol so true 😂
l3cargo but he looked liked a edgy teen in the first one and he liked floating allot more
i must say falcon theres something magical about your voice that urges me to go out and buy this right now!
or the fact he said it was a good game?
Zero Frost yes but his voice makes its better
+Zero Frost Lol, he praises every single game on before you buy and never gives any negatives. Literally just riding the hype train and avoiding fan boy hate, he's not consumer friendly and gives misleading info.
Of coarse there ize. somethin ....magival....about hize voyce.
Or you know, he just states his opinions on games that he enjoys.
To be fair, I've never stopped and said... "Wow, That Looks Bad" In the first dishonored. Honestly, Never once.
I'm playing Dishonored 2 for the first time (I haven't played the first) on my Xbox series S (yes I know, I'm a cheap skate) anyway, I can't believe how old this game is and I've never played it before, it's exactly my genre, the type of game I adore and it's probably up there as one of the best ones... How the fuck did I miss it?!? 🤦🏻♂️
Yoo same i didnt know this game exist
My favorite part about this game - every guard seems to be an ABC master.
I have been playing from early access and have been enjoying it the entire time and I have not had any issues thus far. I read in some of the reviews on Steam after launch yesterday that a lot of people running AMD rigs were having issues and I deduced from that there is an optimization need. This is especially clear to me as several of the people who had issues posted their hardware in the reviews and they had above the Recommended spec in most cases. So, I sincerely hope Bethesda and Arkane Studios releases a patch to solve those problems as this is an awesome edition to the Dishonored franchise and I want everyone to have as awesome an experience as I am. :-)
5:31 I know this is super super old now and this maybe helps no one. But throw the bottle or whatever , then move from the location you threw it from. They won’t know where you are
Watch first five seconds:
Oh okay, I can buy it now.
I did a low chaos Corvo run first, and I felt quite satisfied with how the game functioned. The characters all seem to have a level of connectivity by which your character can access another. It never feels as though a character in the game doesn't make sense or feels disconnected from the others. I also enjoy the use of notes in this game (which was also in Dishonored 1), where it gives you critical information for the mission. However, some of it was a little difficult to find, like the safe combination in mission 7. I spent about 16 hours on my first playthrough, and half of it was probably just looking for one last item, or trying to figure out the non-lethal methods of taking enemies down (mission 4 took 45 minutes alone). Overall, it was great, and most of my issues were just b/c I didn't explore enough, wasn't observant enough, or didn't think hard enough.
The nod to Thief with Corvo being the same voice as Garrett is awesome.
Best game I've played in a while, I spend hours just exploring each mission.
should I buy dishonored 1 before I play this?
You don't have to
if you play on pc i recommend the first game because this has a shit port
papa jhon not really,you should buy this one
Yes you should.
NorthernSkull I'm on ps4
Yo, I'm loving this game so much man. I finished it yesterday in two sittings, the story kept me gripped and the combat/powers are incredible. I'd recommend it to anyone
As soon as I had finished my first playthrough of Dishonored 2 as Corvo I started a new one as Emily and when I had finished that too I replayed the first Dishonored game. Some of my all time favourite games
The Stealth in this game is so much harder than the first one. I get spotted all the time and it's such a pain in the ass
I chose corvo just because i couldnt let him go, also i love the blink ability
It’s free on gamepass so I just came here while it’s Downloading to see whatsup
I got this on Gamepass recently. I'm about a third of the way through it and I LOVE it! Such a fun unique game that rewards creativity. Maybe I just suck at it but I thought this game was VERY difficult at first, so if that's the case for you just have some patience. You will improve.
my first play through, on the first mission I hopped on top of the train to escape to the ship, and skipped everything in seconds, beating it in around 3 minutes. it really is play it your way.
i did it a second time to collect all the loot. such a great game!
Im doing a corvo playthrough, and i feel that corvo seems to be the natural progression of the story, so it seems they've done a fantastic job at making whatever character you play as seem the most natural. Definitely looking forward to the emily playthrough
My plan is to kill everything with corvo then be a ghost with emily.
InMaTeofDeath opposite for me
I feel it’s easier to be stealthy with corvo with all his time stopping ability’s
We need a dishonored 3 it’s been 5 years like come on
I think this game was a big improvement from the last one. Not only does it keep those characers but also has their lives set in a desperate situation which I liked. I was wondering why Delilah was the antagonist since i had Daud(in the last game) kill her but now realizing that she is immortal makes it an important plot twist especially for people of the last game who played the dlc. Ive played through as Corvo first and loved his part. Ive currently started a game for Emily who is the main character for the game. I'm sure there are those huge differences as well. Gameplay is pretty good. The AI may be a bit dumb at times but is better from before. The story and gameplay make it all so fun. The game is sadly only 9 chapters which makes me a little sad. Karnaca is also a whole new and amazingly detailed city. I wish to see Dunwall in next gen, possibly in dlc. That being said, each level has its own uniqueness. My favorite being the puzzling Clockwork mansion. This game really gives an eerie victorian vibe. Really is a whole different game from others. I'd give this game an 8.7/10. Really worth the money, especially the special edition one that comes with the first game.
Got this back in September last year, and still till this day, one of my favorite games by far
U forgot to mention that there’s new ways of take down which is bad ass. You can do take downs from the sky on enemies even slide and give them a big kick on their stomach. Blink has an upgrade that you can teleport in front of someone and kick them like your kicking a ball of socceur (it can possibly kill them or knock them down or still good to fight but vulnerable for a few sec). Even stun mines and etc. Also Emily has an upgrade where she can pull the enemies with her grapple thing so like that she can possibly catch them and choke the

What the fuck.
excessive gamer 101 true
excessive gamer 101 them and angry joe
3 hours into your 1st playthrough, and you were compelled to do a "before you buy" vid, why? I mean I'm a Gameranx subscriber and fan, but hey. Can 3hrs of gameplay warrant a "before you buy" vid, jus'ayin. lol
came to find this comment or post one
I agree sometimes you just can't trust these guys anymore they play a game for a few hours and then they think they know the whole thing
And why does he talk about it like we’ve played it before? Isn’t a “before you buy” vid supposed to assume that we are going in fresh?
Do not buy until the patch arived. 50 fps max on high with 1.700€ PC. not to talk about very high or maximum
i still cant believe they recommended low settings on a gtx 1070 for 1080p60
You true!
GTX 980TI, 32gb ram and an i7 4790k gets me 20 fps on very high and 45 on low....
that sucks, guess I will hold off for now
Aderyn
they say it wil be fixed in the comming days
Got both on platinum and 100% DLC. LOVED IT! it's free for PS+x on the 16th. Gonna buy part 1 again and dive in once more. Looking forward to it.
Dishonored 2 was a giant advancement towards the image that they were trying to reach with the first one. Personally, they catered to my complete stealth run through that I am sure other people have noticed. They included a quick save/ quick load option to speed up the process of perfecting your complete stealth run. Also, later in the game you find a throwback to older style puzzle games in a location that forces you out of your comfort zone. You have to pull levers to navigate through the labyrinth and maneuver around the guards which can see you from basically all angles. When you finally approach whatever target you're attempting to apprehend, you are given more options then simply slaughtering them or using a sleep dart. I felt compelled to actually explore and reload my saves to find the best route to take on situations which was very surprising since I remember basically just using blink to bypass all my threats in the first game. I would definitely recommend this game to everyone especially since it has a high replay-ability.
gonna buy it.waiting for the price drop first :)
LAWDhavemuhsee I always wait for prices to drop. I'm the type of guy who is playing games from the past year. XD
Decimal115 it's smart tho
LAWDhavemuhsee bought mine for $40 dollars at game stop
LAWDhavemuhsee it's worth full price I bought the collectors edition it's totally worth 100 box
Jonathan Kreitler I'll keep that in mind when I it comes time to buy it.
Is it just like Dishonored 1 where the stealth was pointless because you could just double jump on everyone with the air attack?
lol
true i was having fun doing that
xXStretcHXx the point of the game is not stealth the point is to play you're way but it's harder to not stealth now if you just get in to a mission go to a building and start shooting you will die very fast I tried it once in mission 7 I went in to a room and shot someone and then I see 20 guards after me
I'm glad I pre-ordered this one. Completed my Easy/Kill'EmAll/Dark/etc run first, now I'm working on a perfect stealth/no kills run. After that, might try an Ironman or two. And finally - A Very Hard difficulty run for each character (try stealth, but will kill if stealth fails) If things go well, I'll be doing a VH Ironman run after that.
My rating for this game is a solid 8/10. Really looking forward to the DLC (if) when it drops.
#ShamelessSelfAdvertising Twitch - The Flat Dragon
Why a 8/10? What makes it as good/bad as 8/10? Why not 7/10 or 9/10? I'd really like to know what made you set the score of 8/10
The Flat Dragon I'm doing the opposite lol. going for a ghost no kills playthrough right now.
Have you thought about doing a no powers run? I feel like that's almost harder than an Ironman one (even if it's simply losing blink/far reach).
Konrax The only thing bringing this game down from a 9/10 is the glitches and how touchy Far Reach is. Been playing with a lot of the other powers and Far Reach is the only one that screws up for me. Well, there's also the fact that the story is practically identical for both protagonists.
Kanthide Haha, I considered it, but I just finished my Ghost No kills run on Dishonored while I was waiting to play Dishonored 2, so I went all out in the sequel as soon as I got it.
Skyeater Yeah, I considered it. Might run a no powers after my Ironman run. The idea of taking enemies on with no powers on Very Hard is beyond me though lol. The thought literally scares me away from my PS4 controller lol.
Thanks for the replies, everyone. Usually when I comment on gameranx videos my comments are completely sidestepped and ignored lol. That random feeling when you think you actually matter. And then it's gone xD Lates, all.
Rem I think the better question is why wouldn't you pre-order it? Play a day early, get a free copy of the previous title on PS4 (Because don't have PS3 anymore) and it has all DLC. Not to mention I love the game and have great respect for the developers. Pre-ordering games is the best way to show appreciation with little effort given. I'm lazy, too. Setting the pre-order meant that I could play it as soon as it was available (again, a day before everyone else plays it) and I don't have to deal with discs or setting up the download later. Get it all in one go from the PSN store.
Seriously, what reason is there to NOT pre-order? Unless you hate stealth games with involving storylines... in which case why are you here?
Even though you can be versatile on both characters I found it easier for high chaos for Emily (link, pull enemies and doppelgangers) and easier to sneak as Corvo (or freeze time and run through a room full of enemies)
I think Dishonored 2 is a hands down amazing game. Got the first game with the pre-order and played that first for nostalgia and then jumped into the second with high hopes and I loved it. I'll admit though, I have some but not significant issues with it, such as Corvo's voice being the same actor used to voice Mercer Frey from Skyrim and it just pokes me the wrong way, making me immediately switch to Emily as my first playthrough. My low chaos run of the game, plus looking for about 60 or 70 percent of runes and bonecharms and ending the game took about 13 hours and 50 minutes. High chaos took about 11 hours and 50 minutes looking for only about 40 or 50 percent of runes/bonecharms. If your a completionist who's looking for the best ending, your looking at a solid 15-20 hour campaign. I absolutely loved the first game and this one, and would recommend it to anyone. Even if you don't like stealth, you could definitely go on a killing rampage in a hack and slash carnival with anyone you meet.
My favorite power in the whole game : Shadow Walk. What is yours?
Shall we get whiskey and cigars tonight
Saleh Aslam indeed I believe so
can we get Dishonored remastered on ps4 and xbox one? i love the first game too, but it would be amazing to see it with the new graphics.
There is one on ps4 (don't know about xbox) with all the dlc for a really cheap price
It's called Dishonored: Definitive Edition, it's been out for all platforms for about a year now.
thanks ill check it out.
+deathmizer 101 They did release a remaster with all the dlc!
thanks
This game is like Deathloop done right.
In the first game you discover that Corvo is Emily's dad by reading Havelock's diary located on the second floor of the lighthouse. Those who skipped reading missed out on the lore.
Being honest, started game 2nd time as corvo and i prefer him as a character and his abilities seem fresher, after playing emily blink is more refreshing than far reach. Corvo also makes little quotes about his past in Karnaca and that is why I prefer playing him in this game
It actually was said Emily was Corvos daughter by the outsider when you go the void FALCON
But I am loving this game already finished my first play through but I can't continue right now cause it's installing on my ps4 pro
Not in the first game. The first game only implies that Emily is Corvo's daughter. Which is what Falcon said.
Which is why this game was a little jarring when it is just straight up confirmed in the first minute.
It doesn't only imply. If you find a book in the last mission, it outright says it.
Tasris Must have missed it.
she lifts and carries fat guards around like they're just pillows
I love this game. Immersive sim is the genre of a gaming connosieur.
I'm about 8-9 hours in D2 right now and I love it. If you're even remotely a fan of stealth games I recommend it. Also, depending on where you buy it, you can get a copy of the first game bundled in so you can try the first one out too
Played Dishonored 1, got the platinum trophy, will play Dishonored 2 ofcourse
I still need to play my PS4 version of dis 2
Dis 1 I mean
switchtalent123 you can just edit your comment you know
Unless he commenting with his/her phone.
Nobody will ever read this but I’ve bought both of the games on this weekend sale 7.50 for both and 5 extra for all dlcs on one
Lucky you
can u do before you buy for rainbow six siege again since year 1 dlc is complete and they improved the game so much that it has became one of the best fps shooter out there. please!!!!
Solomon Mak i love that game but the only problem is their severs are pretty bad sometimes
Tyson Cunningham yea, I agree but that can't stop me playing
damn Ubisoft shills, how much did they pay you?
Just played low chaos as Emily. My god. This game is so much fun. And there is a part where you can switch between 2 time lines within a second. I don't know if this was in any other game but it was fun. The story is made for Emily. That said if you want new info, play as Emily. Corvo is for old players that loved him. Emily seems to have more powers for non lethal. Corvo is very lethal.
I just want to say I'm playing Dishonered and I LOVE IT. It's a phenomenal improvement to the first game. My only problem is one glitch I've run into on PS4, which is if you purchase upgrades from the Black Market and then save, if you're killed or go back to the save after you left the Black Market, you lose the upgrades.
Dishonored is amazing! I wish it was a bit more of an open world, but it is still great as is.
I hate the new voice of the outsider
jim bob same he sound so weird
jim bob the 1st one sounded more menacing
I agreed when I started it but I'm almost done with my second play through and I'm getting to like it.
i really wish they'd kept the original voice actor. The new one sounds like a bunny compared to the original. It sounds really really fake.
jim bob I like his new voice a lot better
I'm going to wait for a proper discount on the game, but I'll definitely be getting it at some point!
now's your time, I got it for 10 USD at gamestop
@@loulou4399 haha, thanks! I have it on gamepass :) but playing yakuza right now
Kinda disappointed you didn't mention specifically if they added any new tools for a non-lethal playthrough. The first game was a bit tedious with lack of non-lethal options, to the point where I ended up just sneaking around most encounters as they ended up being a conga line of Blink, Choke, Hide body. I feel Deus Ex Mankind Divided handled non-lethal very well as it gave you multiple weapons, the ability to incapacitate with CQC and even a non-lethal version of some augs which were previously lethal in the game before it.
I am playing as Corvo as it is the only way it makes since to me. The reason to me is...she is the student and his daughter. It just feels more real to me as the guy protecting his way of life and daughter. I will be playing as her on my second run of course.
Should we really allow falcon to do a honest review on this game considering he's a big fan of the series ?
Troy Montana who isn't a fan? if you are not a fan you haven't played it...
Jose Maquia it's not much of if I'm a fan or not . By your logic every game I've played I should be a fan of?
Troy Montana
No, i was joking because this game is really well made and probably 90% of its players liked it and that 10% wouldn't even "waste" time doing a review on RUclips, everyone in Gameranx are gamers and probably fans of Dishonored...
did they changed the outsider's va? dude sounds like a teenager now.
I like Dishonored. But the problem I think with this sequel is we can't quite sure which storyline it follows in regard to the first game, as you know there is basically several endings in the first iteration.
They should have not made Dishonored a multiple ending in the first place IMO.
Alas, I still will get my hand on this after some price drop
+Aphiet Aprianto the low chaos ending
Aphiet Aprianto actually they found a way to kind of mention the multiple endings in the second one. Depending on how you play the first mission (non lethal or lethal) when you talk with the outsider later he will talk about one of the two endings depending if you killed or not on the first mission.
TheBlueShadowGaming really? Wauww that is genius narrative
I know! I found it extremely interesting
On-the-spot, heuristic behavioral analysis of the player in the first mission, and then determining aspects of the player's future and past actions on that analysis? Damn, I thought no developer would ever implement that.
I started few days ago and i cant get enough. It´s pure goodness! ... and about photorealistic graphics... i feel like every game that DOESNT go with photorealism has much more charisma
Jindosh's Mansion has "one of the best views in Karnaca" and Stilton's Manor looks amazing
Played the first one forever ago on ps3 then got all 3 games for the ps4 then I got the first 2 on pc because the movement is just better (played them all each time)
Needless to say I think you should buy these games
(Start from the first one)
That being said, it feels like a bizarro Dishonored 1. Not let me talk as as slowly and pretentiously as possible, maximizing my ad revenue and desperately trying to sound smart. That being said, it's a bizarro version of a better review. That being said..
I have like 500 hours on this game. And it's in my recommended. Its also funny how much these videos have changed in these past 3 years lol
Wow 500 hours in dishonored 2? How?
@@Snake-od6ok Idk, ive beat the game like 100 times. Plus the main playthroughs for each character and new runs etc
Isnt too easy? U can dispatch guards at will on highest
lolol who else watches before you buy videos after you've purchased the game xD??
Mee i bought it a week ago on ps4 xd
i did my first playthrough as Emily and went stealth, avoiding killings and being carefull. second playthrough i went as corvo danny devito " so anyway, i started blasting."
Actually corvo is for sneaking and Emily for attacking ^^
Dishonored 2 restored my faith in gaming. I've had so many disappointments over the last couple of years, the latest of which being Deus Ex Mankind Divided. Dishonored 2 runs great on PS4 (though it had a 9GB patch on day one), has a detailed and varied campaign which can be tackled in many ways, and an intriguing story which doesn't try to be too clever or say too much.
Everyone should own this game.
does anyone know when sombra is gonna me released on console?
tuesday
Hoot2820 console DansGame
Imperator Augustus Really?
not even related to the video
not even related to the video
How long is the game, the first was really short. only 13 hours taking my time I might add.
I just completed Dishonored 2 and got 17hours, but I completed the first Dishonored in 8hours on my first playthrough
I can run the first in 4 hours and this took me 9.
Teen Tactical One could speed run by stealthily sneaking past everyone and killing/knockout successfully or guns blazing but the game is really hard
Teen Tactical Also Dishonored 2 is really long compared to the first
Teen Tactical But if Dishonored took you 13 hours you probably won't finish in a day
But didn't Corvo die in the ending to Dishonored 1?
The ending showed his grave with Emily standing over it, as a child.
Kane Holmes Last I checked she was a old woman
I honestly couldn't remember as it's been a while since I last played, but it still showed a grave with his name on it
Kane Holmes Well yeah, he still dies eventually, old age probably
No
Cole Solan There is an ending where you let Emily fall in the high chaos ending.
Bought the Steam/PC version and so far no issues. Loving my first playthrough as Emily.
1:50 This is actually because he wasn't originally intended to be in the game but was added due to nostalgia by the development team
