Apparently the first 3 missions of Dishonored 2 are going to be F2P beginning on 4/6 for all platforms so I'm going to wait on buying anything new until checking that out.

I bounced off Dishonored 2 real hard. The stealth felt real bad to me. Gonna try it again. Maybe try the guy not the gal.

I felt like dishonored 2 was technically better than the first in just about every regard but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much for some inexplicable reason.

The whole start to where I stopped was during the day. I got spotted super easy. And the overwhelming amount of collectables felt like a lovely ubisoft openworld map every time did that vision mode.

Ive been waiting til I was really in the mood for it to try again, but the The Golden Era of 2017 happened (is happening) so I have not had an inch of gametime without tons of games I really want to play available.

I've never played the original Dishonored so I'm going into it with no expectations. Is it more natural to play with a controller or mkb?

I found it more natural to play with mouse and keyboard personally, you should really play the first game though, it's excellent and pretty drat cheap nowadays and has good DLC

A game I didn't know was on the horizon that Polygon & Gamesradar just informed me of is the PS4 exclusive Spiderman that looks fuckin' NUTS. The only trailers I can find are from E3 last year but since its coming from insomniac i have high hopes for the quality & craftsmanship. Just give me webslinging and Luchadore/WWE wrestling moves and keep the loving HUD/Mini-map off the loving screen if at all possible.

Same. The story is basically an outline with no twists and the gameplay is the same as before only now if you get caught its way easier to just murder everyone immediately

I really want to pick up Persona. I keep meaning to try a good JRPG (i love fire emblem and pokemon, but otherwise haven't really played through one) and hearing everyone rave about it makes it sound interesting but loving hell, hearing the length of the game is super long is really intimidating. Especially given all the other stuff that's out there this year.

if a game being really long intimidates you, jrpgs probably aren't gonna be your thing. 30-40 hours is on the short end of the scale for that genre

you have a 3ds apparently so I'd suggest trying something like bravely default or smt4 there instead

They are still tied to some kind of PSVR content afaik. I wouldn't be surprised if the confirmed upcoming AC game had some sort of VR mode. I hope it's a whole game though.

I will literally drop $400 on PSVR if they put out a VR King's Field anthology.

Bloodborne sold great because a month earlier people played The Order: 1886 and realized the PS4 exclusive Victorian dark fantasy werewolf hunting blood cult genre could only go up from there.

Too late friend, as I am now the owner of a brand new Persona 5 thanks to a trip to the game store at lunch. I now own a real JRPG so after 11 years on the forum, I'm finally a True Goon.

Seriously though watching the videos and all that it looks slick as hell so I figure if I'm ever gonna try one, this is as good as any.

Literally the only reason that I'm not getting P5 is that I need to graduate from college and I accidentally just played Nioh then Horizon then Nier: Automata back to back instead of focusing on school. I'll get P5 when I get a job.

Ill defend the Order. I got it from redbox for $3 and beat it in an afternoon, which is the way to play it. It was a fine little dumb shootmans campaign. Its as good as any COD campaign in recent memory if your in that mood.

(Now that Doom and TF2 exist you have better choices) but Its not as bad as its reputation. Short and a'ight.

I never got the impression that the original Dishonored was some big blockbuster either, but a game that a lot of people bought for like $5 off Steam and ended up enjoying.
