The original is one of the best games of all time. I have the collectors edition on pre-order. Just don't tell Mrs Girth how much it cost!

Lots of early positive steam reviews with some framerate drops on some GPUs, roll on midnight

It's meant to be a stinker. No review copies were sent out. What have they got to hide?

They have stopped giving out review copies early. I expect most publishers will follow suite after mafia 3 sold 4.5 million copies.

Who has said its a stinker? I find that highly unlikely given the pedigree.

Bethesda has a (stupid) policy of not sending out review copies. We saw from Doom this is no indication of the quality of the game.

Well guys yet another PC port optimized like crap worse than Mafia 3, the small indie companies do better jobs than this.

I'll wait few days and see if a patch comes, anyone on console how is it?

^^ Apparently if you have a decent PC it's not so much of problem (like most things) and AMD GPUS are particularly hard hit.

Seems to be mixed to me all I see are GTX 1070 and 1080 issues, it's basically poor all around, but it seems to be a cpu issue more than anything it isn't taking any of the load.

Its not about where I read it, I couldnt read it could I due to review embargos and all that however posts 10 and 12 in this thread sums up what I meant.

Ah, so you were just assuming stuff because of the lack of actual reviews. Gotcha

Bethesda no longer embargo anything, they just don't give out pre-release review code. Back when I reviewed the first Dishonored, they only dished it out 2 weeks prior to the game, anyway.

It runs OK for me on a 970 / i5 - 3570. Its not buttery smooth in places, but perfectly playable.

Seems to be AMD cards having the most issues.

I'm glad you get to enjoy it

I dropped to 22 fps from like 160 fps in the room where the ring is retrieved and died because I couldn't aim lol

Then when I made it to the streets it was almost as bad, I really want to play it because it was awesome until then.

edit* This is on the lowest settings possible btw

I guess your assuming that because there haven't been reviews for the reason you mentioned? It looks pretty good from what I've seen of it, so I'll hold off until some reviews come in before writing it off.

Runs beautifully on a ps4 pro. Smooth and really good fun. I spent a good half hour piling bodies in a shed to see how full I could get it. Answer: very full indeed.

Seems like I was wrong but was basing what I said on AMD PC version but don't mind admitting I am wrong.

I'm really enjoying this despite being so-so on the original. It's pretty damn heard to maintain a stealthy non-lethal play through though, especially in the early levels before you start unlocking powers.

I'm on Mission 5 currently. Does anyone have any tips on dealing with the witches (I think they're classed as witches - the ones who teleport around the place). I don't seem to be able to sneak up behind them and render them unconscious. Are you only able to do so with sleep darts?

I have to say apart from the performance issues i hear about this game does not disappoint.

I finished the first level having killed Ramsey and all the guards. I thought i had done a pretty thorough job of exploring every nook and cranny, but i decided i want to have a fully low-chaos play thorough so i ran through it again not killing anyone. It was just as much fun the second time and I found loads of things i had missed including one that was mentioned in the mission summary at the end. The level design is simply fantastic.

i got Dishonored 2 with my ps4 pro, played about 30 minutes, then i thought maybe i should play the first Disonored, so i got the definitive edition, about half way through and seems like a good game.

read an article on eurogamer about how physical sales are down 38% in the uk on dishonored 1. total click bait article made it out to be doom and gloom.

Can anyone confirm if there are big consequences if you kill a lot of people?

Like the city full of rats and everyone having the plague?

I enjoyed the original but didn't like that aspect of it (even as the game is very stealthy)
