The art style in this game is beyond beautiful. Never before I examined a ceiling lamp for 10 minutes straight and tried to buy it online or just enjoyed the beautiful lightning and furniture in a room. The atmosphere hits some intense weird nostalgia strings for me.
noah caldwell-gervais said in his "dissecting dishonored" video that dishonored 2 is one of the few games where the in world art actually feels like something that would be put in a museum in real life. every painting and statue and chandelier and building has real artistic intent behind it and could stand as a piece of art on it's own. the artists at arkane are fucking nuts lol they put way more effort into their work than anyone would expect from them
@@boinqity4621 "has real artistic intent behind it" that is exactly what I thought so often when looking at paintings, even using the zoom to study the tiniest details of these pictures on the walls or when looking at the carvings of a door.
Yep, and I feel like the game will never really get old, even the first game that released 12 years ago doesn't feel that old because of that really artistic art style.
What I really appreciate about this channel is that it's not dedicated solely to whatever games are "the new hotness." Thanks for reminding me about it!
@@jayveeeeeHear hear! If I didn't go back to older games sometimes I would never have finished AC Origins, and I'm so glad I did. The ending was worth it.
It warms my heart to see people still playing Dishonored. Its definitely one of my favorite stealth series. And yeah, playing High Chaos is way more fun.
@@jalel9833 not even just the vibe, the gameplay was better as it didn't restrict your animations, the story was better and the level designs were better. D2 had a few good level designs like the mansion but that's pretty much it
I think revisiting this game could be fun. I've been thinking about doing Shadow of war over lately too. Dishonored for some reason always reminded me of the "Darkness" games, they're older but man were they good.
I'm currently playing those two games these paste few days and all I can see is that I'm having a blast. Always loved Shadow of War, and Dishonored just checks everything I ever wanted in a videogame. So yeah, go for it!
almost everyone at Arkane who worked on dishonored 1 & 2 has long since left, I personally hope that the current shell of Arkane studios does not come anywhere near the franchise again, not while whatever internal struggles are still playing out.
Bro, what Arkane? The Arkane that made Dishonored is long gone bro, today's "Arkane" makes games like Deathloop and that excuse for a game Redfall! Unless the o.g. devs come back, i dont want this Arkane to even consider touching Dishonored, because they will 100% butcher it!
btw in the first escape mission you can ride trains from that electrified rail grids and get out of Dunwall to the ship xd so you're right there is always something cool about this game in almost every corner
OMG I studied to become concept artist for videogames and Dishonored 2 art direction and its main artist, Sergey Kolesov specially, are my biggest inspiration and goal as an artist, I am so glad to find other people who love the art direction of this game!!
That's one thing I liked about the Outsider standalone DLC they did afterwards. You could go full combat and aggression, it didn't have the karma system in it, so you didn't have to worry about it giving you a bad ending
It's baffling to see the route Arkane Austin and Lyon has gone nowadays, hopefully we'll never see anything remotely close to Redfall and something more akin to the Dishonored series again
Yes, Stephen Russell, Garrett. This was the ultimate troll on new Thief game, since Eidos refused to take Russell as Garrett voice actor. But to be fair, Russell was better as Garrett than as Corvo. Or maybe everyone just expected level of acting at least like Daud.
One of things that you alluded to was the aspect that the art style of the game is fantastic. Alongside that, the fidelity of the models is just fantastic. I personally believe that the characters in Dishonored 2 simply look fantastic because all of them have wear and tear to them. They just feel more real than really any other game that I've played.
I don't know if you've done it before in other playthroughs, but there's so much amazing stuff to explore in this game, you gather so much and learn so much about the lore and place, I took 52 hours to finish the main campaign just because I kept exploring and observing the world, it's so gorgeous and I kept imagining myself in the place of the ppl in the world, there's so much detail, it's a masterpiece in my opinion and I crave for more
speedrunning thru this game or the 1st one is still one of the most fun things to do! if u ever just want to kill and have amazing parkour these are the jam
Dishonored 2 actually let's you engage in the combat without killing anyone, I've played a lot of both games and I prefer 2's combat system but admittedly 1 had a much better atmosphere throughout the entire story, whereas 2 only had moments.
Ohhh ! God I love this game ssooooo much. Why they don't make these types of games anymore? Studios only prioritize real looking graphics for the games but lacks behind concepts and arts like these.
Stilton's manor is without a shadow of a doubt, the most amazing and beautiful mission I've ever seen in my life. The fact they had to create a brand new engine for it is insane! Also being able to complete Jindosh's mansion without pressing a single lever is so rewarding! 😊
@mihaimercenarul7467 and yet it's classed as one of the best game missions of all time. Thought you did something calling me a little boy when you're here on a Dishonored video insulting it 😂 go back to bed you weapon
If ya haven't you should really check out StalthGamerBR's Dishonored runs. They're honestly some of the most insane shit I've ever seen mechanically speaking. His Far Cry 3 runs are pretty gnarly too. Remember one time he managed to somehow attach a spring razor to a dude's severed head then shot it through the air to & completely eviscerated a group of goons. Some rly epic stuff. Rabbit's Respawn had some pretty cool stuff, too, iirc.
I'm just now playing the definitive edition of the 1st Dishonored . And I am blown away at the movement and control in a game designed 12 years ago. I'm trying to be stealthy but I keep getting. Spotted and other than the darts I am out of I am unaware of a way to take aware enemies out non lay'thally.
Glad I found this video, I actually just finished a clean hands ghost run (didn't kill anyone and was never seen) today, so this is honestly quite refreshing
I did the low chaos - stealth run through with Emily so I could pick up the Ghost and Clean Hands achievements and it definitely was challenging. Lots and lots of saves, inching forward through each section, and constantly checking the stats (mission *and* playthrough) to ensure that spotted by enemies count and total kills were still both 0. It would have made my life so much easier if I'd known that killing dogs or clockwork soldiers do not count, I'd just assumed that since they counted as "enemies" for the purpose of being spotted (and invalidating the Ghost achievement), they also counted as enemies for the purpose of kills. Especially with the dogs, trying to tiptoe around them when I was out of sleep darts was very tricky, when all I needed to do was let loose a quick crossbow bolt to the head. I only discovered this somewhere around Mission 7-8 but better late than never. As for the Clockwork Soldiers - freaky. I managed *once*, yes just once, to get close to one and rewire it, because it was stationary, other than that I was able to plant a stun mine on a few occasions to take them out. Again, if I'd known that they don't count for kills, I could have used other tactics such as the springrazor or perhaps a well placed bolt. The stun mine does stun them, but subsequently causes them to fall apart anyway, so if they *did* count as kills it would mean that a stun would result in a kill, which in hindsight would have been silly. Playing through again with Corvo this time. Going for high chaos which provides a lot more flexibility to collect loot for other achievements, and bonecharms, but on the downside I'm doing it with no powers as there's another achievement for this. Time will tell if I do a high-chaos + powers run through, maybe just to sweep up any achievements I've missed, or just have a bit of fun.
Was thinking recently that a Dishonored show with Corvo as the main character would go hard with Pedro Pascal as Corvo? He's already in everything so might as well
To think, that AvP 2010 became forbidden to sell in Germany, because of it's "brutal finishers" to that time, and the Dishonored Games with their own kind of "Brutal Finishers" and Attacks not... xD
Dishonored 2 was such a great game. Given how good it was and the story of the last DLC, I can’t blame them for having a hard time making a follow-up of this game.
Dishonored 2 makes more sense if you play the Witches of Brigmor for Dishonored 1 where Corvo fights the witches while trying to prevent Emily Kaldwin from being influenced by his dark deeds becoming a killer future dictator, which served as a question for ethics and morality it helps give Corvo and Emily character development. Also if you play the Dunwall Knife DLC about Daud (the killer of the Empress from the first game) it gives more perspective on events of the first game that you normally don't see, which made me spare Daud.
I still never finished the first one. I think I'm about the last 1-2 chapters. but man that last few chapters on hard are fucking insane. especially thsoe humans that zig zag all over the place.
I stopped playing this because I would go thru the entire level and kill all the guys so I could search for secrets lmao but the moral system makes me like oh I don't want to be a bad guy
Always found it odd why the game punishes you for killing a bunch of merciless scheming guards that do everything they can to mess with innocent civilians and make their lives harder for no good reason. Most of them do horrible things according to the heart, only a few feel "guilt" for their actions or are relatively normal people doing their job I guess, those I spare, but most of them are just terrible and pretty much don't deserve mercy imo. Only people I spare pretty much always is the Abbey people because The Void *is* witchcraft and they are decent to people (unless I missed a piece of lore where they are actually evil as well). I read somewhere that it isn't about being good or bad but rather the game adapting to your choices but c'mon. You do get the bad ending for playing High Chaos and NPC's change for the worse and overall the game is trying to kind of direct you into the other direction imo.
It honestly is the reason I didn't finish the first game. The whole point of an Immersive Sim is to play how you want. The DLC where the karma was dropped was infinitely better

With the most garbage ai
Stephen Russel. Voice of Corvo Attano, Mercer Frey, Nick Valentine, Barbas and many, many more

Corvo voice is original thief voice if i recall
Yes, Stephen Russell, Garrett. This was the ultimate troll on new Thief game, since Eidos refused to take Russell as Garrett voice actor.
But to be fair, Russell was better as Garrett than as Corvo. Or maybe everyone just expected level of acting at least like Daud.

i just started replaying this childhood favourite of mine today funny coincidence
Oh heyyy I just started my very first playthrough of Dishonored 1 yesterday
dishon 2 is very good without powers and with the empress as a choice. also dishon lore in general is dark
Ohhh ! God I love this game ssooooo much. Why they don't make these types of games anymore? Studios only prioritize real looking graphics for the games but lacks behind concepts and arts like these.

Bad taste
With that first part I almost always dump the first guard’s body down the stairs to distract the other one then aerial take down him
Was thinking recently that a Dishonored show with Corvo as the main character would go hard with Pedro Pascal as Corvo? He's already in everything so might as well
Older Emily is played by Mia Goth. The god dude played by Bill Skarsgard. Willem Dafoe as Anton.
Agreed
What about Nikolaj Coster-Waldau?
never in my life have i wanted anything more then pedro pascal as corvo in a Last Of Us style dishonored TV show or Movie
Ehh.. maybe if it was animated
this games combat animations are top tier
I always play the sneaky approach.. because good ending (never finished it) I had no idea about the amazing kill animations…!! So thanks for showing ❤
Never played it but defo going to give it ago

A DISHONORED 2 VIDEO WHEN I FINALLY PLAY WW
I love the dishonored series and in the Dishonored 2 I feel like stealth feels so much better with Emily
oh man now i gotta play the whole series again xd
I just get lost in the lore of this game. When you see far in the distance across the see you can feel this game has lot of stories to tell.
“I’m the dad whose daughter has been wronged” I immediately thought of Joel with Ellie in the hospital😭 5:23
2:55 me when I play watchdogs legion 40+ interiors

I still never finished the first one. I think I'm about the last 1-2 chapters. but man that last few chapters on hard are fucking insane. especially thsoe humans that zig zag all over the place.
This is making want to pick up my copy and play again
They need to make another Dishonored Sequel again and another Prey game. 2 games that are awesome to play and holds value
I just finished this game again. A+
Here’s hoping they get optimized for console so they don’t run at 20 frames a second during combat
What if... honored?
would u give it try to old classic game IGI 2 covert strike. I kust watched ur stalker game series and loved it. This game might be in ur alley.
Wind blast!
Can you tell me what kind of options you have? Because i have hardly any fun playing high chaos
7:39 that's a shark. Not a whale
Who thinks he should make a series
bro i tried playing this recently and it just keeps exiting back to desktop 💀
I stopped playing this because I would go thru the entire level and kill all the guys so I could search for secrets lmao but the moral system makes me like oh I don't want to be a bad guy
I'm very annoyed Bethesda/Arcane hasn't released an update to optimize the series for modern consoles. It still runs at 30FPS for SeriesX/PS5!
I only used stealth in part 1 so i could shank them from behind amd use time slow and get a second kill. 😅😅😅 No mercy.
Do you think you'll get your own squad after what happened last night?
If I replay a mission can I get the stuff I missed and would it save the stuff if I finished the mission
If only it wasnt locked to 30 fps in playstation I dont have a pc to play it
OG of the Comment Section B)
my game crashes on start up and i dont know why :( ive been wanting to reply dishonored but id kwhy it wont launch

Is the chaos level different than dishonored?
Nah, it’s the same. Great game.

1:30 that's not 'stunning' lol
The games good but I kinda found the game hard probably skill issue
Too bad it's 30fps locked on ps5... Unlike Bloodborne, the game looks atrocious on an oled screen 🤮
DO NOT buy this game on console, the input lag is terrible, you will waste your money.
