I can't wait to see what "surplus of NPCs" means. I'm guessing 10-15.
You saw the demo, right? There was like several NPCs with INCREDIBLY minor roles, but they still potentially served a purpose, such as when the Dev possessed the distraught woman you overhear earlier in the demo, and used her as a means of escape. Stuff like that.
I just wanna peer around corners a lot. That way, when someone notices me, I could be like a weird creeper and slowly hide back behind the corner.
I don't think the reviewer was talking about incidental people, since he said it made the 'story lose focus'. Sounds more like people involved in the aristocracy/conspiracy/whatevers, like the people you assassinate on each mission and their role in the plot. Most of the time people mention things like difficulty tracking characters I find it only an issue for people with ADD, but it could be that they're lightly sketched and disposable and they don't have time to explain their impact on the plot. Neither the CVG article or what I remember of the video explained that point, though, so we'll see tomorrow night.
I'm kind of surprised this thread is so small. Isn't this a big AAA title?
Apparently the marketing team was asleep. Reviews are saying this is one of the best games of this generation and I heard about it tonight. And I spend A LOT of time on the intranets.

Same here. I'd heard about it, but only seen a picture of a guy in a creepy mask, and just kinda assumed that it was Just Another FPS.
I finally read something that made me take a closer look, and then went and ordered it five minutes later.
A definite failure of marketing, in the same way that it wasn't until about a week before release that I found out that Assassins Creed Brotherhood had a single-player campaign.
This game is out tomorrow? I remember seeing the initial trailer and thought it was 2013? I just so happened to upgrade my graphics card so should hopefully have no trouble playing this now.
I may have to wait until November to play this - there's just so much stuff in my backlog and I can't really afford to buy another game I was almost hoping it would be a mundane experience which could wait for a price drop.
I try to operate a one-in, one-out policy. I guess I can trade in Borderlands 1 and Just Cause 2 at the same time, as I have them both on Playstation Plus now, but I should push to finish Warhammer: Space Marine as I'm more or less done with its multiplayer.
I just want to stealth through a whalepunk world and non-lethally get rid of people - the itch was scratched with Deus Ex, and after the runny gunny shooty wahey of BL2 and Warhammer I'll need something more cerebral.
Bought this from GMG over the weekend. At the time I wasn't shown a steam key after purchase or via email. My games list on GMG also showed it as Download only while others had Download and Show Keys so I assumed the key wasn't available yet.
On a whim I checked my games page again and this time had a peek at the download page. My key was there and I just finished pre-loading.
The GMG twitter account is really helpful for things like that, they tweeted yesterday that preloading wasn't available currently, but then tweeted an hour ago that it was up.

And that's an abridged list. If you spend a lot of time on the intranets, you spend it in the wrong places, I guess. At the very least I have no idea why you don't read Rock Paper Shotgun. Sneaky Bastards, The PA Report, and Polygon are also top notch.
Whichever review complained about not whether it was good or bad they couldn't recognize Susan Sarandon in the game...dude. I might be an anomaly, but I immediately knew who it was when I heard the voice coming from the character.
Whether that's good or bad.
Glad I pre-ordered this and XCOM. GOTY contenders, right fucking here. With Ass Creed and NFS being dark horses, also both on the same day.
Not sure what the thread title is referring to. Will the game last longer if I'm excited? Because experience of my penis suggests otherwise.
There've been a number of "boooo, this game is only d6-2 hours long" complaints floating around, because they're coming from people who just straightlined through things in the fastest, most worst ways possible without actually getting any enjoyment out of the game. I'm saying the people complaining about the game being short because they played through it too fast, are ill-equipped to satisfy a woman.
I started looking up gameplay videos for Dishonored just to give myself something to think of other than Xcom.
Big mistake, this game looks bloody brilliant and now I'm just as excited about it as I was for Xcom.
That rat .gif, plus this .gif of Corvo walking someone in front of their own bullet, came from the official Dishonored tumblr via Nick Breckon who does PR for Bethesda and who was taking requests on twitter for what .gifs he should make. Someone asked for "Corvo enjoying a moment of quiet contemplation" and we got this .gif which is a little beautiful and which will hopefully put your mind at ease after those rats fucking devouring everything.
I think I might have to prioritize this over Borderlands 2(which I am smack in the middle of).
I
I didn't think that was possible.
Same here. I promised myself I wouldn't purchase anything till AC3 with the fact that I'm still in the middle of BL2 but with the reviews coming in,the fact I was already losing my will in the first place and getting it for 42.00 off of GMG (with trade in's) my will crumbled.
And the best part? An immediate key from GMG on a preorder. (granted unlike most of the other things I've pre'd from them this was rather late in the game) That's more surprising that anything.
Dishonored is a work of rare imagination and skill, the sort of thing that can’t simply be copied and repeated.
That’s why Dishonored is important right now. It feels like a game from another timeline, one where Thief and System Shock set the bar for what first-person games could be, leading to designs that were built around intelligent use of space and world-building
Suddenly I'm 100 times even more hyped about this game. It can't come out soon enough.
Wow. Wow. That is insanely high praise. I'm sure at least a few of you will agree when I say "it's about time."
Count me in as another person who thought the buzz on this was quiet, but apparently half the preview stuff on the Internet was written by Rock Paper Shotgun.
And from the reviews it looks like my fears were unwarranted and the game is indeed awesome.
Quick question -- have any of the previews mentioned anything about bugs? I know it's a cliche to say that Bethesda games are bug-fests, but I just fired up Skyrim again in the past month and hit five bugged quests in eight hours, and that's after nearly a year's worth of patches.

A little bit, but it's not a Bethesda game. It's an Arkane game built on UE3.

Man, just answer the question already!
So anyway, is this retailer exclusive content crap a permanent affliction like Dragon Age was, or what?
XCOM coming out the same day is brutal.
On a whim I checked my games page again and this time had a peek at the download page. My key was there and I just finished pre-loading.
So just a little heads up.
Also got Arx Fatalis - looks like it could be interesting.
I'd look through the thread, but I don't want to read any more about Dishonored before I jump into it.
It's very strange for me to see people who haven't heard about the game. Did you miss the remix contest for their Drunken Whaler shanty? The interview with the lead designers in the New York Post? The trillions of trailers and gameplay walkthrough videos? The billboards in New York City? Or all of this?

I think it was a ref to "Size matters less than what you do with it"
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
