What are you playing?

I think that's Mike Hammer-ish.

So guys, apart from getting you to write snappy epilogues, how is the game?

It's basically a stealth-puzzler. It's pretty good, and I'd say its worth the low price of admission.

It has a decent sense of humor, a good reload system and the core gameplay is good. I wish the levels were a bit more open instead of being more about finding the one correct solution.

Cheers Jaedar, I might give it a whirl, for the humour if nothing else.

getting you to write snappy epilogues

I can't tell if you're aware, but these epilogues are generated by the game based on your actions throughout the missions combined with some choices it gives you at the end about how glib you want to be about the whole thing.

I wish the levels were a bit more open instead of being more about finding the one correct solution.

I think they actually are pretty open, the problem is that as a player, you sort of tend to quickly identify the most straight-forward solution (not necessarily the most efficient, but the most obvious) and then just execute that. You have to really go out of your way to come up with alternative solutions.

Aww, no. The only thing I'm aware of about the game is Tom Francis designed it and people whose opinions I respect say good things about it.

I thought you guys had written them. I'll award the bonus points I was going to give to you and Jaedar to Mr Francis then.

[Prophet]

Looks like Mr. Francis just stole all your bonus points.
Well done, Mr. Francis, you just unintentionally stole bonus points from the guys up t-h-e-r-e. You know the ones: those with the h-i-g-h ranks!

Is that actually available to play all the way through, now? I bought it because the demo was all kinds of fun, and playing with the rewiring device was basically "UnrealEd: the game" (my favourite was to rewire the lights in one room, open all the doors and rewire them to be unopenable from inside, turn the lights off so the guards investigate, then close the doors remotely and...have fun, guys).

Also the humour was awesome. "Walking through already open doors is my speciality".

[nerdenstein]

I bought it after I saw this thread and have to say, I'm very impressed! It's simple yet fun! The rewiring mechanic is so good.

I'm limiting myself on what upgrades I buy just to make the game a little bit more difficult.

Yeah, the game is done and released if that is what you are asking.

I love those blogs. That one's a Lew Archer.

I picked up Dishonored (it should have a "u" ) on a Steam sale for $30AU. I've been playing stealthily and trying to keep the body count to a minimum. I don't how people complete the game in 7 hours as I've spent 5.5 hours and have just completed the first mission, er, after the tutorials that is. It's pretty good entertainment.

They're pretty cool!

I still need to play Dishonoured (yes, it should have a 'u' in it. ) and I've added it to my list. I've got so many I don't know what to play next.
I'm thinking Borderlands 2 but I don't want to solo it so I might wait until it's on sale again and get a copy for my sister so she can play it with me.

Maybe I'll give Dragon Age 2 a blast.

Playing Dungeon Siege III now...
It takes some getting used to. And I still wank it as boss-battles. I probably get screwed when a really hard one gets around.

"Sale" at $30AU? Man those Australian prices are crazy.

I really liked Dishonoured, it attempts to offer a high entertainment value and it absolutely succeeds at that. I personally prefer games with more than mere entertainment; more world-building, more depth, more themes &c. (but only if done well), but it is a very good game.

Yeah somebody has put the boot in regarding what prices Australians are offered on Steam now. When Dishonored was first released it was close to $80AU. Even DLCs other regions pay $10 for we pay $15-$16.
