WARNING!!! THE SURGEON GENERAL WARNS THAT SMOKING ONE OF BOBBIETHEJEAN'S RANTS MAY CAUSE ITCHING, REDNESS, RASH, DRYNESS, INVOLUNTARY SQUARE DANCING, TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT LOSS OF SANITY, AND SPOILERS!!!

So. Dissssssssssshonored. I liked it. …………*cricket cricket* …………What? Why do people expect me to have ragey, explosive, foaming-at-the-mouth-insane reactions to everything? :P I really did like it. That simple. Besides, I'm saving up all my explosives for when I get around to expressing my thoughts on RE6. Oh yes, there will be explosions. *grumble grumble grumble FUCK grumble*

Anyway… I liked Dishonored. I would have liked it a lot more if the game designers had included a New Game+ feature with cheat codes. Tell me it wouldn't be awesome as FUCK to be able to blink clear across the map, have infinite mana, infinite possession time, infinite stop time, super jump and so on…. That would be so much fun. Pity so many game developers neglect the New Game+ feature/cheat codes. I personally find it intensely fun to go back and screw with games after I've beaten them.  

As much as I liked Dishonored and would most definitely call it a good game, I felt a few things were lacking. It would have been nice if there was more character relationship development. I feel like the ending should have made me cry or at least tear up but it did not and mind you I tear up really easily. I still get all weepy over frigging Disney movies! I will say, however, that Pendleton, Havelock, and Campbell's betrayal filled me with seething rage. *crouch-stand-crouch-stand-crouch-stand* Yes, I teabagged their corpses. Fuckers. *cough* Anyway, where was I? Oh right…. I felt that all endings were extremely short and could have been fleshed out. I also wish there were more missions, more side quests, more maps, and more control over travel. It might have been nice to be able to travel between maps at will.

Overall I really liked the game despite it's slight threadbareness and lack of replay value. Though still, I liked it and I'd recommend it. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing a sequel either. I'll fell in love with that heart. That thing was eerie and fucking awesome. I love the concept. I also really liked the story and some of the ideas expressed. I especially liked the consequence oriented gameplay. Definite thumbs up. Quite enjoyable.

I loved Dishonored.
I used that heart on EVERYTHING. I mean not just people, but buildings, paintings, areas, sometimes just stared off into the distance and talked to it. It was *brilliant*.

Corvo is awesome. Very awesome.

I thought from the start that Pendleton was an asshole. Evenmore so, when he set me up for that duel without my knowledge.

Next time, I need to do a full chaos run. I completed the game without killing anyone. I'm too nice.

It did have replay value through... guilt. I killed everyone in the 1st go, then felt guilty enough to play it again without trying to kill anyone. It i a lot harder when you can't stab everyone in the face.

To me, that's not really replay value though. To me, real replay value is like..... I'm going to want to play this again and again and again. Dishonored was great, I played it twice. I might play it again someday for nostalgia's sake but meh, otherwise, there's no point. There would be A LOT more of a point if there were cheats or a newgame plus feature or collectables etc. When I say "replay value" I mean REPLAY VALUE! =P

OK I have to correct you from my perspective. Just finished it with killing well, not everyone. It was quite interesting the differences between the 2. People asking for help instead of weepers. The whole story changed. So the reply even though initially redoing it with guilt, it gave the game a whole different feel. So good on replay. I rarely play games more than once, once I finish them (because, so many out there, not because I don't want to.)But, I did with this one and glad I did. The question for me now is do I go back and finish Fallout 3 or start Red Dead Redemption GOY edition...hmmm...

You can't correct someone on an opinion, that's just ridiculous. I feel like the game could have extended the replay easily by adding certain features. You have your opinion, I have mine. That simple.

Whoa, take it easy. I wasn't meaning anything about your opinion. I was reflecting on mine is all. Yeesh, Man. Sorry you misunderstood me.

XC Sorry. I didn't mean to overreact. I just miss the old days when you could pop in a gameshark after you beat a game and troll the bad guys, run around invisible, infinite ammo, and such. that was a lot of fun to me but you really don't see much of that these days and I miss it.

No worries written word is easy to misinterpret. They should invent like certain font & color to express emotion behind it. I suppose that is what emoticons work towards, huh? Amazing stuff in your gallery BTW!
