If you don't think System Shock 2 is good in 2014, you probably also don't think Thief 1 and 2 are good, and that's unforgivable.

Protip: Dishonered is also somewhat overrated.

I blame the sheer amount of poo poo-tier stealth games that came before it, which skewed the ratings.

I would like Dishonored more if the levels were more open like Deus Ex. Also the architecture was too convenient for a stealth route. You could hide in the ceiling for the entirety of the first mission without any risk.

Turning stealth kills to ash so you never have to worry about someone finding bodies for the rest of the game.

Why even have a mechanic for that in the first place.

because it doesnt work on stealth not-kills so theres an actual reason to kill poo poo stealthily instead of always doing nonlethal takedowns unlike something like dxhr or alpha protocol

they really needed to make the enemies a lot tougher in Dishonored too. Deus Ex wasn't terribly hard, but the enemies were tough enough that if you specced a stealth character, you'd want to avoid going into direct confrontation with bad guys who could murder your rear end quick if they wanted. meanwhile in Dishonored you have ridiculous anime god powers (which were actually really cool and fun) and even the other people in the game with ridiculous anime god powers aren't a big threat because you can still gently caress with em.

In his defense steampunk is generally garbage so I can sympathize with him jumping to conclusions. I can think of like two times it was good in a videogame and no times it was good in literally any other medium.
