Anyone picking this gem up? http://www.pcgamer.com/review/dishonored-review/ Its nice that a new ip is getting some love. This game is a well needed deviation from the generic fps. The thing I love the most about this game is its art style.
Haven't followed it too closely (intentionally), but everything I have seen has been pretty positive. Will probably pick up at some point.
That's a very good question. Dishonored hadn't been much on my radar... I watched a video preview a few months ago, but that was about it. Now reviews are making me think I should pick it up eventually. X-Com, on the other hand, has definitely been on my radar, but I was waiting until release to see if they screwed it up or not. Apparently they didn't. I think I'll wait for Black Friday and see if I can pick both of them up for cheap then...
There is a video review you can check out here: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/INPKd4JGtsk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
So what's the word? I just got X-Com based off reviews and enjoying it so far. This one is getting fantastic reviews too.
Great game. Beat it today. Story leaves a little bit to be desired but that doesn't really matter, its a ton of fun to play. I love how there's so many ways to do what you need to do. one complaint I have though- You can't replay earlier levels with your powers from the end of the game. It needs kind of a new game plus thing or something. It'd be a lot of fun to tackle the early missions with the upgrades from later in the game.
