Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

I think they kinda shifted the balance of invasions to favor the invaded because it's now a ton easier to scan large swathes of people

You're right, there's so many things I wish I was able to hover over for a tooltip (sometimes you kind of can, but not always).

I do have that issue I always have with these kind of games where I love it, love it and then they introduce one mechanic too many for my taste (here, camping) and I lose interest, but this is on me, not the game.

Yeah I can kinda see that, and the fact that upgrading said camping skills is one of the more expensive things you can do is bizarre considering it doesn't even come up that much, but I can see what they were going for since dungeons that are more than eight rooms long need some way to heal up. Maybe some sort of restorative font but that would almost be too easy for a game built around loving you.

I had to laugh though when my vestal character finally hit Lvl 3 and refused to go on low-level missions anymore. Talk about a game that punches you in the dick.

A recent update has reduced the HDR input lag to around 22ms so it's even better now.

Really enjoying Dishonored 2, shame it came out the same time as lots of other big games this year so is actually down on sales from the original.

Sweet!

I also like d2 but by the end i soured on it. The stealth mechanics arent good enough imo to make ghost runs enjoyable but the combat is so simple that getting caught by a mob of dudes isnt much fun either once you know they cant really touch you if you parry well.

Im going to try another run with the other character to see if i still feel the same way. The story is pretty rough but i did like the level design a lot. The final boss was pretty lazy though.

No, neither Kingsglave or the anime are required watching. They just flesh out some stuff that's otherwise just mentioned AFAIK.

I haven't dived into all of the multiplayer stuff but there are more cool things where other players can invade your game and vice versa. I was playing yesterday and had a 4 star wanted level, so the cops called in other players to assist in bringing me down. I also like that the game will now seamlessly drop in players for you to hack if they are nearby so you don't specifically have to initiate a hack and warp across the map, although that is still possible.

Sorry to go back to TV chat once again, but I just found this article http://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2016/11/21/lg-responds-to-hdr-gaming-petitions-champagne-at-the-ready/#350cae9f4bb8 that says LG have stated they are going to address the input lag issue for their OLED HDR TVs, so I'm gonna wait it out and see exactly how much they can improve it. Fingers crossed!

The multiplayer is now (optionally) seamless, which makes it way cool. As you're playing single player other people will seamlessly pop into your world for co-op and PVP. Invading needs a balance fix but it's still really fun if you redefine success as getting profiled and escaping alive.
