I feel really stupid for asking this. Where is Shipping preferences? I've looking in my account settings and can't find anything and I've looked in my Q as well. Also tried gamefly in a browser and in the app and can't find where these preferences are.

I'm sure it's right in front of my face and I'm just not seeing it.

The controls in Dishonored 2 feel REAAAALLLY bad compared to the first one. I don't know if it's some sort of input lag or what but aiming your gun is a nightmare.

Try the demo.

I downloaded the demo and deleted it right after I went through the tutorial. The controls would have felt acceptable if it were a PS2 game but man, Dishonored 2 felt so bad coming from Doom and Titanfall 2.

man. I know I'm not making a controversial opinion or revelation here, but I finally got around to trying LUMO.

The sad thing is it could ALMOST be a really fun little game of puzzle dungeon crawling IF the controls weren't complete poopsicles.

The perspective mixed with unfun and awkward controls just makes it a slog. I mean, all it needed was solid controls and a fun "movement" feel and it would be worlds better.

Try a different browser. I've had issues with things showing properly on Gamefly's website in the past that switching web browsers fixed. Once I needed to switch to Internet Explorer from Chrome to get a list showing properly. Another time I had to use Firefox for a button on the support page to be clickable.

I quit Dishonored 2 after the insane lady mission early on, but that's farther than I made it in Dishonored 1, which I didn't touch until the ps4 remastered version. I can only assume that type of game has not aged well.

I just played Dishonored 1 and its DLC towards the end of last year and it's still really good. I played the PC version though, still haven't touched Dishonored 2

I loved Dishonored 1 and played it multiple times finding all the irony endings. I couldn't get 3 levels into 2. I hear people love it and say its "More of the same" but I don't know what it is, but its really not.

I'm surprsied to see many people who didn't like Dishonored 1. It easily goes down in the top 3 stealth-action games ever along with Thief 2, DX, and I even Thief 3 which had huge problems but very memorable level design (i can still fondly remember the mansion, clock tower, shalebridge, etc). Might even be #1. Granted I played it on PC and imo these games really benefit from being played with M+K for the precision and quickness of being able to switch weapons and stuff.

Dishonored 2 was also great and ran pretty well on my PC (GTX 97) at launch and even better after a few patches. It had all the nice QoL improvements that the Daud DLC brought and then some. The only real problem was story wasn't nearly as good and I wasn't quite feeling the Delilah thing much, but I'll be fondly remembering some of the Dishonored 2 levels many years from now, especially clockwork mansion, Dust District (time-swapping was cool), Addermire Institute, Conservatory, Grand Palace, etc. Then again I'm fairly easy to please if you just make really loving cool and detailed levels with decent sneaky-shootem gameplay to go along with it so Dishonored 2 ticked most of my boxes I enjoy.

Maybe the PS4 one runs really badly, you also had to turn off Mouse Smoothing on the PC to make aiming not lovely but once you did it was fine.

Did you play as Corvo or Emily or both? I still haven't played the game myself but heard it's very similar as Corvo because but that stuff is often clearly designed around Emily's different abilities and her game is clearly a progression from what came before. I love Dishonored 1.

I'm always surprised that Thief and Thief II never got console ports (and instead we got that awful Thi4f game a couple of years ago). Despite how complex they can be the actual controls are very simple and would easily work on a gamepad. I would have bought that new Thief game if it came with even one of those on the disk. I mean even ***American McGee's Alice*** got a PS3 port.

Dishonored is an incredible game. It shares so many characteristics with Thief: steampunk decorums, a bleak society, mysterious supernatural powers, in my head it was basically Thief 4 and then they went and got Stephen Russell to voice Corvo in the sequel and by jesus I should really play Dishonored 2.

Neo Rasa posted:

I think they were just too demanding for the consoles of the time, the Playstation 2 wasn't yet quite a thing when Thief 2 came out and even that console struggled with similar games like Deus Ex. The Thief games are incredible though, I used to run through them once every few years.

Random question about Project Diva Future Tone: Is it set in stone that this version of Word's End Dancehall (the "live" version or something with the rather generic video, not the cool one with the trains like on Project Diva F) is the only one we're getting? That's one of the very few complaints I have about Future Tone, I really liked the Dancehall version on Diva F. I know the Ruby and Emerald costumes were added to Future Tone, but that doesn't make up for the video itself.

Didn't notice any lag or problems with the aiming but the control scheme was an issue for me. Putting run on L3 and having triangle be the Lean button was annoying.

Well LGS was really a PC studio at the time and it was sort of in between eras as mentioned. It's also kind of for the best since Thief 3 did get a "port", but it was really a console game that got a PC port and it showed--really badly with all the early-mid 00 consolitus problems. Really small cut up levels with loading times, and limited options dragged what could have been a phenomenal game down several notches. But it still holds high regards because of a lot of cool levels, I'm a sucker for awesome environments and levels. Partly why I love(d) Bioshock 1/2 even though gameplay was awful, even at the time.

I think there may be some crazy licensing issue with that. It's the same reason why so many of the old songs are missing their associated modules and borrow them from other songs. Japanese licensing is also the reason why we can have the song "Black Rock Shooter" but the outfit "Black Rock Shooter" is off limits.

I don't know what it is. I loved the first one. The second wasn't bad and I finished it but I never got the same level of enjoyment out of it or had any desire to play it again.

And I've said before, I think the second is technically better in most regards. Something just didn't click and I don't know what it was.

Nadine is cool and fun and Drake has almost certainly indiscriminately mowed down more people solo than nadine's mercenaries have.

Its not that simple, and no.

Even a roku needs the roku4 to stream 4k.

In any case Im not sure how anybodies new 4k tv doesn't run those in its own app, which are generally better then going through a secondary device. Unless its a real poo poo blackfriday model.
