Dishonored - RELEASED!

[the dark side]

True. Dishounred does have hints, but i turn them off, i dont mind hints if you can turn them off. its like scaling crosshairs, i dont mind them being in the game if i can turn them off (EG: Nolf Series, SOFII, RTCW, etc), its when i cant the game is ruined. same with hints, sure, have them, just let me turn them off as they ruin the game for me, because i feel patronised, if i want my hand held.. ill stay in reality, thanks.

i hope more games will implement that option in future, because i am someone who likes to read a manual, and i feel patronised when the game tells me what to do. so i really appreciate arkane letting me turn the damn hints off. more games need that option.

I feel its the perfect option for the future, as it lets the "lazy gamer" (no offense!) still have the hints on screen, but it also means elitist players like me who feel patronised by hints, especially as we actually created the controll set up we use manually, don't have to be treated like amoebas.

I am glad this game is doing well, as Arkane has done something very few other developers do these days. They have put thaught into the game, and found ways to make it appeal to both hardcore gamers and "new gamers" alike instead of just aiming at the lowest common denominator. hopefully it will inpsire other developers to make more effort with there own games.

The industry needs a kick up the a**e to save it from "activision war game copy for lowest common denominator market" complacancy and the inevitable crash that will cause, and hopefully dishonoured will be that kick up the a**e the industry needs. i mean, even Crosshaw liked it! and that is a very rare occurence, but then dishounoured is a rare thing. A. Proper. Game.
