Looks like its clearly been developed for the aging consoles.equinox_code "I need girls cornered and on their own"

yeah im maxed, LOVING the visuals but they are very stylised, quite to the extreme - the nods to hl2 are amusing
i think it has great stylistic continuity and the painterly charicature of everthing is great, much of it is absurd or even rather gross but with some gorgeous locales at times

There's some nice visual flourishes in the beginning but as DS says, some of the textures. EUGH.
I'm running maxed at 1920 x 1080 and it looks fine - but after playing Borderlands 2 maxed, I feel like something is missing here.
It just feels like Bioshock. The same lighting, water effects, sound - this is not a bad thing though. -
I'm heading back in, woooo. Helped this rather shitty cold-fuelled day pass. -
Is everyone in Dunwall in English? -

Its definately one of those games that makes me want to pull a sickie and go home to play. Wrapped up in a blanket with copious amounts of tea.
Unlike Bioshock, It feels a lot calmer. Maybe because I'm early in. Maybe because it empowers the player.Â
Bioshock always felt like there were a couple of ways to do things - but neither of those ways were particularly easy. Setting up traps was tough and unpredictable. Shooting was often difficult and unsatisfying. -
The powers are sublime.
More I play, more Bioshock it is. Seriously appeared under my radar, knew nothing about this last week. -

Send messageI was gonna wait a while before getting this due to still being deep in Blands 2, but the Bioshock and Thief comparisons have killed that idea. Will get it on Friday. -

I think it's a good compliment to Borderlands 2 because it's a very driven experience.
I wont say anything about the story but you're never awaiting motivation. You're not in a sandbox whereby you can do whatever you want. You're just given the tools to do whatever you want in a linear, story experience.
Which is fantastic. -
The variety in how you approach each mission is sublime. Switching between combat and stealth works a charm.
Blands 2 who?! -
DS WOT U LIKE

This. I like this.

This really does sound like my kind of thing, think I'll have a look at the Edge review now I've decided to get it (no need to avoid temptation if I've already succumbed).Â
Starting to get excited. -
Get excited with good reason. I can see me on this for a long time, prob just stick like a filth with the PC version alas.

How to change FOV:
Get it on 360 and buy nice big telly.
But srsly, this sounds ace. Â That bit about jumping off a tall building and body-jacking into a passing npc before you hit the ground has really caught my attention.
When is this out again?It wasn't until I hit my thirties that I realised you could unlock rewards by exploring the map -

Awesome. Bookmarket. Which is the optimum FOV setting?
I've no idea, but I like anything in the range 95-110.
110 is a bit fish-eye lens but once used to it it helps with the stealth, so I'm on that. First mission, two hours in.
Peeps banging on about 4-5 hours completion time must just be legging it through. -

My mate used to boast about how quickly he would complete each new Zelda game. The missing-the-point-completely idiot.equinox_code "I need girls cornered and on their own" -
Doesn't really matter even if it was, would it? You'd want to replay it several times seems to be the consensus.
-
I want to play it once and get everything.
One of the things you get is fucking glorious. Seriously, this game reg, its your heaven. -
Yup, its gone above the shambles that is Blands 2 for me already.
-
I was at it from 4am at 5pm today pretty much non stop and the game hasnt finished. I can recognise you can complete this game very quickly, esp what with blink and all, but it really is missing the point completely, it like buying loads of land and only ever using the road between the house and the gate. Do you play games to complete them or do you play them for the sheer pleasure of playing?

Gunn:
How seriously fucking awesome is Blink? I want it in everything now. -
This does sound awesome, will pick it up between now and Xmas.Actually sounds ideal for the Xmas break.

What's so awesome about blink is it comes early and they seem to have managed to do the impossible and make pretty much a godlike power enjoyable, empowering and not gamebreaking
As said, when you get megablink and the agility stuff all bought up you'll have so rarely enjoyed such empowerment.
I actually keep forgetting blink at really silly times then i remember i COULD do it the way i was doing (Usually normal whittling away guard numbers with stealth knockouts, i spose others might use combat), but i could, instead, do something faster and infinitely more thrilling and audacious by blinking around the environment like some crazy thang
If you've gotten to the masked ball, anyone, i'll spoiler a bit but i'd like to hear your thoughts:
Spoiler: -
I like blink, but it's not the power that's awesome; it's the level design.
It's not difficult to employ a similar skill - whether it's a hook-shot, rope ladder, teleportation, etc. The difficulty comes from having the levels built to accommodate the skill. Consistently.
Again, I'm not far enough in (I just got the skill and used it in the tutorial mission) but It will be interesting to see how far they go with it in the levels and whether they actually go three-dimensional consistently. -
GENUINE EXCITEMENT ABOUT PLAYING A COMPUTER GAME!!!equinox_code "I need girls cornered and on their own"

The levels are always intricate and interesting and blink can be used in a vast variety of ways, you can blink to places while falling, double jump then blink, blink is silent so you can blink in behind people, some escapes can employ insane rapidfire blinking, climbing, vaulting and sprinting.
Not one level has let me down, i havent tried to break it to be honest but the levels have worked perfectly with it, even with something like doublejump and megablink which i was convinced would completely fuck up the levels but just make them more fun.. well there you go!
