After Doom and now this, I suspect this is a thing for Bethesda going forward.

Folks with AMD hardware should think twice before even bothering. It runs terrible on AMD cards:

Game is great. Everyone should at least give the free trial a look.
It must be the plot and dialogue, right? I played as Corvo, and his growly musings on various things always felt like a parody of video game dialogue to me. I would be surprised if Emily's line was much better. The basic plot is at best adequate, too.
But man, the levels and art design are great. Any fans of sanbox stealth games a la Deus Ex, Thief, etc. should play this game unless their computer simply can't run it properly. It ran flawlessly on my PC, for whatever it's worth.
Expect lots of games to do this now. There's no better way to convert someone to a sale than letting them try the game and then ask them to pay to continue onto the rest of the game.
D2 was great, from what I played, so I'd highly recommend that people check this out. Sounds like there's a lot of content (3 missions as either character?!) in the demo.
Welp.
To waste 50GB of bandwidth or not to waste 50GB of bandwidth.
Oh I see.
I guess this is why Prey is using CryEngine. This bastard child they regurgitated from idTech is pure fucking trash fire.

It's a free trial.
What's the point of trying to repel people from trying it?
Ah right, I forgot that's a thing in some countries.
Interesting. I wonder that's why it runs bad on consoles?

Exactly. You answered your own question.
With 280X i might try it, but i know very well what to expect.

Dishonored 2 is an outstanding game. And 3 missions is great - I think I spent around 12 hours (total) on the first 3 missions.
The universe is really cool in premise, but through two games I haven't been able to muster a single shit about the world or characters. That's a huge departure from the Bioshock/Deus Ex games where I'm absolutely in love with those worlds.
The levels are tremendously impressive though. It must have been absolute hell designing some of them.

Nice will definitely give it chance! but Persona tho....
IIRC doom's demo was one level that lasts maybe 30 minutes, so this seems like a major improvement

Wow, so a third of the game for free? That's amazing. I loved what I could play of the first one (my PS3 died before I could finish, I only got to play up to the brothel), I'm sure after trying this I'll end up buying this one too.
Now if I could only find the physical edition with the Definitive Edition included.

It feels like I'm controlling a tank. PS4 here.
D1 was so fkn good that I played the chit out of it, but this 1 I just cant.
I tried the control sensitivity and the "fraction" and other options to try and make it "feel" the way D1 played - but couldn't
The controls feel so wrong, could it also be the shitty performance?
I really want to get into it and beat it, don't want to waste $60, but how can I when I get sick of the controls 5 minutes into playing it.
Also the story is so generic as well, D1 was actually interesting and I wanted to keep playing. Had high hopes for it

100% agree with this.

Gave it a try again a few days ago on PC. Frame pacing is still all over the place, which pretty much renders it unplayable to me. I've tried all combinations of settings (in addition to external tools) I could come up with, but couldn't fix it unfortunately.
The free trial is a neat idea, though. I am sure there's a great game there underneath it all. =)

Amazing/sad how much dialogue about this game is about PC performance.

The first mission is so-so, but from level 2 onward it is simply a stellar game. Honestly I think the level design just keeps getting better and better as you go on, up until the end which is merely very good.
I want to love the game! It seems like a brilliant sequel but I can't remember the last time I've played a AAA PC port with such uneven performance. Even with G-Sync, it stutters and jitters constantly. Feels terrible.

When will the Trial will be available to download?
Also the Steam announcement page says the trail will offer the first 3 missions while Polygon says the first 2.

It's a Bethesda game. Rest assured there will be dlc for it.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
I posted this in the LTTP thread and really, giving the first three missions is a huge chunk of gameplay. Youll easily get 3-5 hours of gameplay out of the demo. First mission is kinda brief as its escaping from Dunwall but you can easily spend hours just exploring Karnaca and Addermire Institute.
The level design is simply incredible and the game has a lot of lore and story to tell with every room, every item placement, and every building. Theres a lot to see, read and discover.

I have this on pc but I've held off on playing it cause I never finished the original or the DLC. Need to play those first
I'm also sad that this type of game bombed. From what I hear the level design is great which is rare nowadays with all the open world games where intricate and thoughtful design is replaced with size.

play it guys
its fun and its absolutely my favorite art direction in a game period. you know sometimes you see concept art of a game and then the final product and it doesnt look even the slightest bit the same but dishonored 2 nails it. u can practically smell the fish in the air lol

The atmosphere in this game is incredible. The moment you step onto the shore of Karnaca you can practically smell the saltwater in the air, the stench of whale oil, the rotting alleyways full of bloodflies. The art style is sublime. I seriously cant praise it enough.
For those of you having problems with the controls, try upgrading your traversal abilities to run faster and jump higher, makes it feel much better.

This level of content reminds of the shareware days.
Also this game is excellent, and here in Australia can be had for $20 which is truly outrageous. It must be so painful to have made a great game and see it just not sell.
Then again, I picked up Doom for under $20 last year on console are well so maybe Bethesda are just super aggressive with their price drops?
