[See You Next Wednesday]

Remember when games used the GOTY edition when they actually won a GOTY award from somewhere?

 

[SJS]

I wasn't particularly enthused with this game. Basically:

This game seemed way too easy, did all the no kill / no alert stuff the first playthrough on hard. Am I not supposed to use blink?

Blink was the core power of the game from both a design and usage standpoint, and it *really* made everything else useless in comparison. The game ended up feeling a tad bit unrealistic, manipulable, and repetitive. Also, the game's storyline and graphics were noticeably subpar IIRC.

EDIT: Also, as I was reminded of this game, I remember a few particularly bad sections that were poorly designed, and also recall that the endgame was absolutely rushed and anti-climactic.

I didn't know that saying a thing was a thing was still a thing...

Anyway, I'veheard some of the DLC is very good but one of them was just a horde mode. I just have the vanilla game, which one is the horde mode?

Still, leagues ahead of something like Bioshock Infinite.
And the art direction was just outstanding more often than not, by the way.

It'll finally be time for me to buy it.

Same. Saw it in sale in stores this week but had a feeling a GOTY edition would be announced.

Noice! I haven't got around to purchasing any of the DLC yet, so I might pick this game up again. If anything, I love Harvey Smith so much I want to give and his team more of my money.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Well, I already bought the base game for $10-something and got the Knife of Dunwall through Steam Card sales. Looks like all that's left for me is the Brigmore (?) DLC and I'll pretty much have the GOTY edition for less than $20.

Haha, I still haven't played Infinite. I completed the first Bio but I just never got through the second one. I wasn't having any trouble, and it wasn't a bad game, I just suddenly got bored of it for some reason. How bad is Infinite, really?

 

[Andrew.]

I bought this game at launch, played through it, traded it in and have since bought it again, traded it in and then bought it again never once completing it a second time. I have the Knife of Dunwall too.

It's like each other time Ive bought it I falsely convince myself it really isnt as boring as it is.

Then I get home, pop it in for about 45 minutes and realize that it really is that boring. Maybe some day Ill come to and play it again in different way or revisit the masquerade party (which was indubitably the best scene of the entire experience).

 

[SwiftDeath]

Hmm Bethesda game getting a DLC re-release?

Color me shocked /s

Here is the Screenshot of the Year to go along with it.

Hhhmmmmm, the Xbox 360 version looks better than I expected.
