Boas,

Visto o que a bethesda anda a fazer...

Só irei comprar o jogo DEPOIS das reviews...

Mas é certo que é um jogo que irei comprar...

Cumprimentos,

Este jogo parece ser muito porreiro, no entanto só depois de sair o jogo é que talvez pondere experimentar o jogo. O primeiro não cheguei a jogar muito e joguei pouco mais de 1 hora mas não me puxou ou não estava com cabeça para este tipo de jogo... Veremos o que irá sair daqui

Boas!
O Primeiro jogo tem uma narrativa porreira...

E foi realizado por pessoal que saiu da Valve e que participou no HL2...

Dá para perceber o enfoque na narrativa, num mundo completo e numa história que vai-te sempre puxando um pouco mais á frente...
Existe um nível no primeiro jogo que eu pessoalmente adorei, que foi a casa/bordel.

Experimenta... não te vais arrepender...

Cumprimentos,

Tenho de tentar novamente isto, só que dá para ter tudo ao mesmo tempo e jogar ao mesmo tempo. Parecer ser um dos jogos que cativa O Half-Life também o tenho para aqui mas não o cheguei a jogar todo... Vou ter de tirar um ano só para me dedicar aos jogos históricos do PC

Parece que temos mais um jogo cheio com graves problemas de desempenho.
Não admira que a Bethesda anda a recusar mandar cópias para análise.

Graphics, Presentation & Performance

The graphic options are reasonably extensive, with a lot of the settings having everything from Very Low to Ultra. Following on from the previous game, you can even disable/enable rat and bloodfly shadows. There is a rather claustrophobic vignette that appears only when Emily or Corvo are crouching, which unfortunately cannot be disabled. Despite the accommodating spectrum of these options, I was unable to maintain 60 fps at 1440p with my current PC setup(Specs: r9 290, i5 4690k, 16gb ram). What I settled on was 1080p with mostly High settings and some of the more demanding on/off settings switched to Off (volumetric lighting, depth of field). This allowed me to maintain 60fps with dips down into the high 40s. I have to admit this is pretty disappointing, while the art style is just as gorgeous as its predecessor, the visuals don’t seem like they should be all that demanding.

After that is where things started going really pear-shaped. I was playing with my compromised settings, putting up with the occasional frame rate dip, when I leaned around a corner and saw the FPS counter drop to 18. I turned down all the settings to Very Low and all the on/off settings to off and the frame rate didn’t change. To be fair this particular room, the throne room right at the start of the game, is quite detailed with lots of flowers adorning the columns and there’s several dead bodies littering the floor. But I’m afraid something weird is happening here, check out the following shots, taking note of the FPS counter in the top left.

Facing towards the back of the throne room I get a solid 60fps, but after turning 180 degrees it drops to 32. Going back to the door through which I first entered the room it drops even further to 18 fps. Keep in mind this is all on the lowest possible settings at 1080p. I figured it was perhaps a driver issue. So I did a clean uninstall and then installed the drivers Bethesda specifically recommend for AMD cards. Frame rates were exactly the same in those particular areas of the throne room. I then considered that perhaps this was an isolated incident, it was early on in the game after all, perhaps it’ll even out from here on. Unfortunately this is not the case. Any time I faced a particular open area, as you can see from the following screens, the frame rate tanked. Now bear in mind not all of the below shots are on the lowest of low settings (I turned some of them back up after testing the throne room) but to be honest with such weirdly specific and enormous dips, I don’t think it’s got much to do with settings.

Narrative & Characters

The craziness starts just as quickly as the first game, one second you’re mourning your mother, the next you’re being arrested as a traitor. The narrative, the world, the lore, all of it is as intriguing and engaging as the first game. It actually feels great to be in this world again. There’s no disconnect between the two games either, Dunwall feels like Dunwall and Karnaca (which I’ve only just arrived at) fits perfectly with the universe set up in the original Dishonored. The new/returning characters all have me intrigued, and wanting to learn more about them.

One rather significant change is that your character now speaks, whether you play as Emily or Corvo they’ll now comment on things you see and do in the world. So far this has been enjoyable rather than irritating. Emily will for example reminisce about simpler times of smoking her hookah with friends, or lessons with her mother. At one point, after killing a traitorous City Watchman, she commented that he wasn’t fit for the uniform, her voice full of spite. It definitely heightens the emotional connection with Emily and her plight.

Gameplay

Enemies are a lot tougher now, especially at the beginning when Emily has no powers. Unlike the original game, they no longer have to have their whole bodies turned toward you to spot you. If you raise their awareness meter even a little, they’ll continue on their patrol but their head will be turned towards where they spotted you, making it quite difficult to get away unseen. Guards will notice if doors have been opened (even if they weren’t in earshot when you opened it) and when approaching them from behind, if you’re in their peripheral vision, they will spot you very quickly. It’s quite brutal.

I actually recommend playing without objective markers and just explore the levels organically. It’s a lot more rewarding to stumble across tucked away audiographs or hidden treasure. I noticed there were places I couldn’t get to as Emily in the first area (as she didn’t have blink yet) that I assume you CAN get to with Corvo. This could make multiple playthroughs interesting. It may also be worth mentioning that you can choose to reject the outsider’s help, forgoing supernatural powers for the entire game. I may only have seen the first handful of areas (as well as the Clockwork Mansion at the EB Games Expo), but I’m comfortable in saying that the level design is just as good if not better than original game. The scale of everything seems grander in general, you can climb higher, streets are wider, that sort of thing. It feels great.

Emily will fill out her journal as she progresses through the story, adding extra depth to her character, as well as keeping all the different political machinations fresh in your mind. It’s a nice touch that you have to actually interact with her journal to unlock these updates. Another welcome little addition is that maps you find out in the world will be saved in your journal, for future reference.

Here are some shots of the three screens that come up when you finish a level. They detail your chaos, items found and 'special actions' which are secrets or missable things unique to that level. Pretty cool imo.

And here are just some shots I took of Karnaca at max settings, 20fps be damned.

Acho um pouco puxado os specs recomendados a nivel de cpu...
Mas tal como o Fallout 4, parece ser um jogo virado para gostar de hyperthreads.
O tipo usou um i5 na review, fod##-se

Benchmarks











O jogo não tem gráficos que justifique ter desempenho tão baixo.
É preciso uma GTX1070 para ficar acima dos 60 fps

LPC, ainda bem que cancelaste a pre-order...

Boas!
Que valente merdisse que isso está...

Vou-me manter para já afastado do jogo... Precisa claramente de ser melhorado...

Ainda nem vi as reviews do jogo, quando saem mesmo?

Cumprimentos,

Devem sair amanhã, por causa da Bethesda já não dar cópias para reviewers.

[Enzo]

O melhor score para mim é mesmo o i3 6100
Esse jogo precisa de optimizaçoes a todos os niveis. Que coisa mais mal concebida. Lembram-se do Batman? Anyone...?

[Winjer]

Jogos mal optimizados, já são alguns em pouco tempo....
Mafia 3, COD:MW1 Remaster e agora o Dishonored 2.

Juro que não percebo estas empresas. Será que não gostam de vender jogos?

EDIT: Quem já jogou o jogo diz que o jogo tem mouse acceleration sempre ligado.
Isto vai de mal a pior.
