Awesome. The biggest thing for me is CTRL is awkward to use for block, and I've tried a bunch of different configs for block (V-key, R-key) and none feel correct. RB sounds like it would work perfect.

Is the game not saving key mappings for anyone else? Did a quick search over the last few pages but didn't see anything. Had the exact same problem with theif recently, strangely enough.

Maybe if I run it as an administrator?

Picked it up and haven't even popped it in yet.

GOTY contender already because...

IT'S GOT A FUCKING FULL COLOR MANUAL

Did anyone else score the pack of Tarot Cards at GS? They look pretty badass. Last time I got a pack of cards from a game release was when Psychonauts came out.

Do you feel like you're gimped using controller over m/kb?

What I mean is does the gameplay not play to the advantages of m/kb?

Don't feel gimped at all and the gameplay absolutely plays to the strengths of a gamepad over a mouse/kb, for better or for worse, IMO. After feeling RB to block I don't think there's any keyboard/mouse solution I could prefer, though Ash got his block on Mouse button 4 and seems happy with that.

Bear in mind I don't even have a crosshair, so if you leave that on I'd wager you'd feel even more confident. But turn it off because it's amazing.

Looks like I'm not alone :p. And I agree embracing the emergent nature of a video game is, well, the entire point of playing them. I don't know where the stupid perfectionist method I've had drilled into me came from, because I never used to be like that.
Click to expand...

I had this very same problem before. It was especially bad in RPG with dice rolls. One day I just started unbinding my quick save/load key and I've enjoyed games much more ever since. You are suppose to use those super rare healing items sometimes or even lose that NPC you have grown quiet fond of.

Same here. I still have those cards. I was surprised when I saw the box for the Dishonored deck; I was expecting just normal playing cards.

Edit: OK, just opened them up. These are beautiful.

So I was surprised at only 9 missions, 6 hour completion, repeat locations and no pushback in reviews.

Game sounds amazing, just seems short for $60 pc game...

Looking like later this evening when the store updates, but sooner would be nice. Would like to be able to play the game before 11:00 or so tonight.

It's $45 on PC, and the completion time ranges up to 20 hours depending on playstyle.

You don't get annoying button prompts telling you to climb on certain ledges.

Those are still on for me, but I'm gonna turn them off too. Contextual for health mana means they show up only when you take damage/use mana.

Probably thinking about different things, but I'm certain an option that said 'contextual' removed those ledge prompts. No objective markers are a must though, should have been off by default.

It did. He was misreading a little, just switch "health/mana indicators" to contextual (that's actually what it says in the options)

Edit: oh yeah, he's referring to "contextual prompts" or something like that which can be on or off. I'll probably nix them too :)

20 hours because there is a ton of optional content to see you mean?

If you spend the time to explore every single area available (which is what I would do) how does the amount of content compare to deus ex human revolution?

9 missions just sounds so short...I wonder if there is a bunch of DLC to be announced?

It took me 5 hours to finish the first mission after tutorials, exploring everything. I completed all the optional content and found all the bonus items. I imagine not all the missions are as long as the first and they'll shorten as I get better at the game as well (I saved and re-loaded a lot). I suspect it'll be about 15-20 hours for me to finish the game.

If you can finish Dishonored in about 6 hours, you're doing the absolute bare minimum, and rushing through the game, which is something you can do for every game ever and not just Dishonored.

Options -> Graphics -> User Interface, scroll down a little. I'm playing with them off and I would recommend it based on my experience. Feels like an organic experience this way.

yeah, i got the cards too. They received more preorders than they expected, so not everyone is getting cards. Don't wait to pick up your preorder!

Tarot cards Gamestop only + limited supply + likely popular new IP series = rare collectible.

I won't be opening mine.

man the Steam numbers (http://store.steampowered.com/stats/) are worrying me, only 4k people playing Dishonored :(

I guess you could say its not out in Europe yet and it's 10AM, but I remember Skyrim and BL2 getting massive numbers, and X-Com has double that (and thats sitll pretty low) and it's not out in Europe either

Yep, you'll want to explore a lot and plan some good routes to your objective, find item stashes, evade guards, read books and do side missions. There's a direct way to finish levels, and if you run and gun you'll finish the game pretty quickly. I'm playing it a lot like Thief and I'm having a great time.

It probably has less content than Deus Ex, but different types of games. I got 20 hours out of DE:HR on one playthrough (no DLC) and I'm expecting 16-18 from this.

I love DE and its full of content. Even half the content of DE is fine for me

I think arkane prior content was under rated, so its nice they get rocognition

And the side quests are missions themselves. I spent most of my 3 hour playthrough doing the first quest I came upon, as well as some exploring. It's meaty as hell.

Do you have good thumb buttons on your mouse? Thumb buttons are perfect for blocking.

This game is better than even I expected, and I've been thrilled about the concept since the announcement. I'm not even sure how to react to it; it's fantastic.
So far I have done a very stealthy, no-kill approach, but I simply must go back after this playthrough and try a lethal stealth style, then a no-holds-barred approach. Too much fun stuff to experiment with in one playthrough.
Story is fine so far, but in a game like this, atmosphere does more for me, and Dishonored nails it.

mxgt said:
This game is fucking awesome.

4 hours is such BS, I've already played 3 and a half and I'm on the first real mission still. Doing non lethal as much as possible.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I played 4 hours last night and I am still on the first official mission with no sign of being even close to finishing it.

Indeed. First upgrade I threw points at was the Blink upgrade. Worth it.

I'm really liking the game so far. I'm playing on hard and the difficulty feels just right. I'm trying not to abuse quick save too much, but I'm glad the option is there because sometimes it's just really fun to try out different things and see how they work out. Case in point: ambushing Granny's Gentlemen Callers. I set up a bunch of different traps/ambushes for them and tried a few times until I executed it flawlessly. Why? Because it was damned satisfying to do.

I'm really early in the game so I don't want to give it too much credit yet, but I'm pretty damned impressed so far. Linearity in terms of story keeps things focused and prevents the game from devolving because of too much filler content. Runes/charms encourage me to explore my environments. Stealth/assassinations feel rewarding, and when things do devolve into combat, combat feels fantastic and satisfying. Oh, and despite lower resolution assets, the game more than makes up for it with it's gorgeous pastel art style.

If I had to make any complaint against the game, it's that it really fails at making me care about the characters or the story. I really don't feel any connection to the Empress, her daughter, or the rebellion. I'd say animation/modeling is one of the larger culprits here. A big reason why I cared for Alyx in HL2 is because she felt real. I really don't get that feeling with any character from this game.
