    Dishonored - First impressions?

    If they implement the movement system much the same way as Assassin's Creed's one, it should be fantastic.

    This. Though I pity the dev team in advance...

    Dishonored - First impressions?

    It does have a release date of "2012," meaning "we hope next year..." EDIT: Ninja'ed!

    Dishonored - First impressions?

    It was an open question, in fact, I don't think it's a Deus Ex clone :) As for myself, I'm really looking forward to it - I still have fond memories of the Dark Brotherhood assassination missions.

    Dishonored - First impressions?

    So there's this upcoming game called Dishonored in which you're a supernatural assassin. It's first person, and to me sounds pretty good. What do my fellow Escapists think? Here's a link, have a look: http://www.gameinformer.com/p/dishonored.aspx EDIT: I didn't actually mean to suggest it...

    People that criticize games purely on graphics

    There's a difference between aesthetic and graphics, as has been pointed out often enough. However, there was the rather problematic decade where polygon graphics were evolving. As such, Sonic 3 (not using polygons) was an awesome game and still holds up really well. Same story with Age of...

    Poll: Has a movie ever caused you to yell out in a theater?

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Then again, you're supposed to. Also the latest Harry Potter, where Voldemort assaults Harry with his tentacled robe. "I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going to..."

    Built in cheats, alas I miss thee

    I especially loved how all these games had the same codes. noclip, notarget, giveall; they worked from Doom to Jedi Academy. OT: when I was a kid, I tried playing Anno 1602, but didn't quite get it. I did, however, immensely enjoy it because of the cheat codes that would give you unlimited...

    If you had a daughter, what would you name her?

    Same here. Though I'd call her Lily because that doesn't immediately call up associations with the Kabbalistic demon of cot death...

    Game cliches you hate

    "Press Start" on the title screen of every console game ever, when any other button will do. There is only game I know of that actually requires you to press start, and that's Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship Tournament 2005. Of all games. Seriously you guys.

    What's the Hardest game you have ever played

    The worst thing is when you play a game that's difficult because it's badly designed. When you die for the twentieth time because your jump button wasn't responding (that Lion King game on MSDOS, I'm looking at you!) it's far more frustrating to keep playing. Super Meat Boy, for example, is...

    What's the Hardest game you have ever played

    World of Warcraft. One of my friends played it and got me started, and I found it incredibly difficult to keep playing it because it was just SO BORING. In terms of actual difficulty level, probably the beginning stages of Monster Hunter. If you don't know what you're doing, the difficulty...

    New Zealand Politician Joins in Medal of Honor Outrage

    It's all about what is considered a "sensitive" political issue. Some people consider things not done, while others don't see the problem. Remember that game they were going to make - 3 Days in Fallujah, or something. Everyone outraged at the not-done-ness of it all, so it was cancelled. I...

    Do you talk to the games you are playing as if you were in them?

    If you've ever played Monster Hunter, this will sound familiar: "Okaay... ROLL! NO!!!! ROOOOOLLLL!!!!!! I SAID ROLLLLL!!!! TO THE SIDE!! PANIC DIVE!!!!! FUCK YOU CAMERA! I CAN'T SEE A THING! ...Ah crap I'm dead."
