Dishonored 2

EoinMcLovin · 05-12-2016 1:22pm

Currently €34.99 on the Irish PSN store as it's the next deal for 12 Days of Christmas

Anyone else having issues with D2?

Pre patch it gave an error, quit the game and in two cases ejected the disk.
Since the patch it's repeated the above but without the disk ejection and just experienced a system freeze....

Playing on PS4 original if that makes a difference.
But at this stage getting a little frustrated as I keep having to replay sections as it happens randomly and quite often before a checkpoint kicks in.

Loving this game at the moment, have seen hours disappear on a few occasions over the last week or so. The detail and variety in the environments makes them a pleasure to explore, and as a dedicated stealth player there's been plenty of fun side-paths and nooks to discover.

Only problem (aside from the rather ****e story) is one of my own-making - like the first game, I am obsessed with achieving a no killing playthrough

Makes the thing a bit more stop and start merely to live up to that perfectionism. Made good progress though (heading into mission 6) and I've become a bit more willing to let situations play out if I'm spotted - although I don't envy anybody trying to play a ghostly run.

I did my first run as Emily , no kills, detections, powers etc and loved it then played balls to the wall kill everything that sees me for mopping up achievements and hated it.

For a game that gives you 2 characters and a play as you want opportunity especially given the patch next week bringing level select and various customisations to difficulty such as taking out lean etc it really was for me only fun to play one way and one way only. On hard, no powers and no kills.

Nothing more satisfying than admiring a pile of 6 or 7 sleeping bodies

That said the patch will also bring an option to do a perma-death run and adjust the effectiveness of sleeping darts etc.

I stopped playing it cause of this

If I go back to playing it, I'm gonna murder everyone

it's a pretty great game but I don't like the ending essentially punishing you for not taking the stealthy & non-lethal approach. I almost feel forced to take it despite it at times being incredibly frustrating to do it that way and me wanting to just kill 'em instead.

I think the new Deus Ex was superior in that way, you could do it whatever way you wanted without it messing your game up.

Not throwing this off topic, I am currently playing through a stealth (well, stealthy-ish) run on Dishonored, but Deus Ex is in my backlog. Does it punish you for killing? i.e. will I lose achievements or change the story if I do so?

See with Dishonored I'm killing when I feel someone has been bad enough that they need to go. I am judge and jury, and to hell with you. Very first target? Opened him like a Pez dispenser. But others? Maybe not.

Icaras · 13-01-2017 6:57pm

Loving this, got it for Christmas. There is a lot of praise for the Titanfall 2 single player campaign but this is by far superior in every way (I know they are very different games and its my opinion). Loved the museum level.
Still not finished it but killing everything that moves on my first play through and looking forward to playing it through again with no kills.

Is the PC port fixed or nah?.

Deus ex has pacifist and no alarms ones. Can't recall if they the affect the ending or not, I think there was a late game decision that affected that though.

Pac1Man · 21-01-2017 7:24pm

Can't get into this one at all, even after loving the first one.

Not sure what it is though!

Wonda-Boy · 04-04-2017 8:26pm

Lads whats the general consensus with this lately...? Its on sale on steam and I held off as there were issues with performance on PC. Has it been patched recently or is it still a mess of memory leaks etc.

I absolutely loved the 1st one and would love to get it for €29.99 if its worth it?

There is a demo out this week. The first 3 missions so is significant.

Played it through to completion last week.
On my 3570k@4.5 Ghz, overclocked GTX 970, 8GB 2400mhz RAM on Windows 10 with the game updated to lastest patch I mostly got 70fps with dips down to 60fps on max settings at 1080p (TXAA at x1).

Game ran smoothly for the most part. Very occasional dips into the 50's and 40's but pretty rare to be honest. One of the later levels was more taxing with one area dropping into the sustained 40's but was a brief area with no enemies. The level after that introduces a new gameplay mechanic I won't spoil, but its roughly the equivalent of seeing two locations at once and it pretty much tanked my frame rate to 30fps. Wasn't the end of the world though, as the game is quite slow paced and its a one off mechanic.

Had one crash on my first playthough and a second one which occurred early into my second play through. So about 2 crashes in 25 hours of play time.

IMO it overall runs quite well now.

Wonda-Boy · 04-04-2017 10:28pm

I dont have a really powerful machine (CPU getting on now) but I might give it a whirl......I have a 2500K @4.4Ghz and a gtx1070 with ssd and 16gb ram, hopefully I will be okay.

Azza · 04-04-2017 11:55pm

You have a slightly weaker CPU than me but considerably better GPU, and you meet the recommended 16GB Ram where I don't. I'd imagine you will be okay.

There did seem to be a lot of complaints going around about inconsistent performance were people on high end rigs were not getting great performance but the latest patch from a week or two ago seems to be generally very well received in terms of performance fixes.

Wonda-Boy · 05-04-2017 10:09am

Maybe the free demo the weekend is the way to go to try it out, any progress is then transferred to game if bought.

Wonda-Boy · 06-04-2017 11:32am

Free 3 level demo available on steam now, runs very well on my rig (surprisingly) and I like it......

Nice, gonna give it a shot. The only thing holding me back from buying this was how poorly it was optimized.

25 quid on CDkeys atm

It was brand new but gone back up now.

Wonda-Boy · 07-04-2017 1:43am

Well I went ahead and bought it and I have had no problems what so ever and it looks and plays very well. Cant go wrong for 29 quid on steam.....

SeantheMan · 07-04-2017 7:16am

Downloaded it, got some error relating to windows or something.
Apparently I've to upgrade Win7 to SP1...which I'm not gonna do. So no Dishonored 2 for me atm.

Shiminay · 07-04-2017 7:53am

Why not, out of curiosity? Lots of essential security updates and the likes in those service packs, especially for a very old MS OS like Win 7.

Wonda-Boy · 07-04-2017 12:22pm

Jaysus stroke of luck so. I havent updated my W7 64 bit in ages only done it there last week. Huge DL something like 4-5GB worth of ****e.

DH2 running very well now all the same.

YouSavedMyLife · 07-04-2017 12:50pm

Can run on ultra at 60FPS but i get microstutter/frame pacing issues. Went online and it seems its pretty common for other people too. Feelsbadmen, i would have liked to play it

Wonda-Boy · 07-04-2017 9:25pm

I DL the demo and done them as the male char, so after the 3 free levels it asks if you want to buy the game. So I bought the game to continue on, Loaded the game back up and continued on, only for me to be the exact same point I stopped but I am the girl with the girl voice and the male abilities LMFAO!!!!

Very weird to say the least.....

Glebee · 11-08-2017 9:47pm

Only stared this and am on the second level, want to like it but just cant get into it. Loved the first game but this is not gripping me. think I stop playing this until im more in the mood for it..

Very late to his but just finished Dishonored 2 :cool: cracking game and like Deus Ex can be picked up for cheap second hand or digitally. Love the way you can approach problems in several ways. Was the Death of the Outsider DLC/game any good?

Plays like the other 2, a lot shorter though, ties up the story. Loved the series.

well worth playing as is the dlc for first game

pm1977x · 03-07-2020 12:22am

The DLCs are pretty decent, was just thinking about this game yesterday, some great levels in the series, rare that I’d finish games but finished these and the DLC and it often comes to mind when playing other games, along the lines of “this is good but Dishonored did it way better”. :cool:

Skerries · 03-07-2020 12:46pm

there's a bundle on Steam atm if anyone hasn't got it yet

dreamers75 · 01-03-2021 11:06am

Started this again last night, cba collecting runes so only have 1 power(Blink) and on the last level now.

Extremley high chaos run, I think on a few levels (addermire and the witches place) I killed every single AI in the level and stacked their bodies on a chandlier.

Time travel level was good no Titanfall 2 tho.

brady12 · 01-03-2021 12:15pm

In preparation for Deathloop Started this the weekend too having only played 1 when it was released ( which I loved ) .

Its just not grabbing me the way one did, considering i left it unplayed for nearly 4 years :eek:

Case in point at one point I have to pick a team to progress the story and bring the leaders body to the others, i picked the closest one and murdered the **** out of his entire gang (didnt need to) it was just faster.

Blink stabby stabby Blink stabby stabby Blink, rinse repeat.

dreamers75 · 01-03-2021 11:31pm

Achievment for finishing hadnt fully popped up and it was uninstalled.

Normally prefer stealth and not being spotted but cba with this one.

clsmooth · 03-03-2021 11:38am

Cracking game. Definitely a bit of a learning curve and you get out of it what you put into it. I remember not getting on with Dishonored 1 on PS3. Maybe got through a mission or so but didn’t really put the time into it. Played Dishonored 2 in the first lock down and really got into it. Started playing Dishonored 1 again on PS4 and its also brilliant plotting your routes through levels.

Hope you played the Daud dlc? It's as good as if not better than the base game.

I couldn't have been more wrong . At that stage I was feeling it was a 7/10 game . Game hadn't clicked yet . Hadn't unlocked much powers .

About 50% way through last mission and it's possibly a 10/10 game for me . Everything clicked after the clockwork mansion mission . Iv gone from not exploring levels to spending hours checking every nook and cranny in every level .Such an unreal game . Already thinking I will play though again as Emily. Iv just ordered Death of the Outsider Aswel ! Hopefully Deathloop is as good don't know if I love the premise of that game . Sounds very fast paced I love how slow can take it in Dishonoured .

wotzgoingon · 07-12-2021 5:33pm

I have this downloaded a while now and will give it a go later. Hopefully it's as good as the first one. Finished that up last week sometime.

wotzgoingon · 13-12-2021 5:03pm

Played a bit of this over the weekend. And man it's a good game. Sunday night I finished the mission in the mansion with the switches. That was some house the way it changes and sneaking under or behind or above each layout. Those damn robots though are annoyingly hard to beat. The trick I found is to be ready to block and then attack and run if your health is low and then it regenerates about half way then rinse and repeat until they explode.

wotzgoingon · 16-12-2021 11:00pm

Finished this a while ago. Good game and I see the stand alone DLC is on Gamepass so may give that a go as well.

wotzgoingon · 23-12-2021 1:39am

Started Death of the Outsider DLC a couple of days ago and find it good. I spent longer in each level in this DLC than I did in the first or second games or even the first games DLC by doing the contract side missions and then also the main missions as well. I was in the bank mission earlier and those damn robots again. They are tricky but you eventually get to smash them to pieces. Trick is to keep blocking the attacks I found. I got lucky dealing with two robots and was just starting to fight them and they were beside me and I don't know what happened but they blew up and a guy died too who had codes I needed. So worked out good.
