Do want. If only because it's a strong SP game based on original IP without any tacked on MP. More of this sort of thing.

Revenge-driven stealth-heavy assassin-'em-up. Influenced by Thief, Deus Ex, and Hitman (and sharing some key designers with those titles). Set in a sort of steampunk 19th century city with magic that has some visual similarity to City 17 from Half-Life 2. MVC review roundup
CVG has even gone as far as saying "Dishonored is one of the greatest games of this generation."

I've been following this game for a while. Anything from the designers of Thief and Deus Ex has to be alright in my book.
Big review roundup on the official game blog: http://www.bethblog.com/2012/10/08/dish ... viewville/ Seems pretty much everyone loves it.

Price lower you say?
How does £22.79/£24.79 sound?

That would involve leaving the house.
I'm afraid you need to consult with AgoraphobicGamer to solve that problem.
This all sounds very good.
Think I'll be getting it.

SimplyGames have jacked up their price to 35 now. Possibly as a result of the postive reviews, yer think?
Oh hairy balls to it. Ordered.
This sounds interesting.. but I don't normally agree with stealth games.
I'll add it to the list of games that drop in price. Does anyone know if there is a demo out on the Xbox?

I'm such a goon. I get 15% off from Gamersgate, making the PC version of Dishonored £25.46. So why did I preorder XCOM last week from Steam, and almost do the same with this?! (Dimrill's mention of greenmangaming jogged my memory).

There isn't. Not to say that there won't be one at some point, but there certainly wasn't one as of last night.
Hedge. Well moist for this now. Drippy anus.
Is this the one with the female protagonist?
Nah, that's Metroid.
Nah, that's Tomb Raider.
Nah, that's Bayonetta.
Nah, that's Mirror's Edge.
Nah, that's Lollipop Chainsaw.
Nah, that's Nickachu: The Musical.
Nah, that's Pippa Funnell Ranch Rescue
Weird how one review (the eurogayer one, probably) says the AI is crap and the game doesn't judge your morals, then FEDGE go on about how the AI is "robust" and the game judges your morals.
I may need to ask the Bethesda guy I know whether I want it for PS3 or 360.

Not having read reviews yet, I gather that it does judge you based on your actions, and there are consequences, but it's not an exposed system, the game never tells you it is judging you or what the consequences will be.

Just like the wife.
This game'll be shit.
Lustig, Dimrill. Zehr lustig.
I'm tempted by this and XCom also. Annoyingly however there is no demo, and I don't know how well it'll run on my laptop o'fun. (Atom 3500M with 8gigs ram and a HD 6620G GFX card, fact fans)
Guess I'll have to wait until the reports are in. Disappointingly BF3 is just a widdle bit too slow on this - not enough to make it unplayable, but enough to add a slightly sour taste to the experience. I'll save BF3 to a better compy day, methinks.
Anyway! Dishonoured looks good. I like the look of the setting and architecture and the notion you can do non-lethal takedowns and what not. More unique settings please, Mr Programmers.
I very much suspect you'll be fine, performance wise. BF3 was one of the most demanding games a while. Dishonored is running in the Unreal Engine 3, and will likely run as well as other Unreal Engine 3 games.
Every PC game has a demo.

Do you not fancy getting a 360 now they're reasonably cheap to save all these headaches, Pete?

I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN.
But going back to "actual" demos: It's shit that they don't. Whilst there have been games where I've played the demo and thought "no thnx.", I'm usually EAGER TO BUY after playing a short and snappy demo.
Shipped! I also got the Backstreet Butcher DLC, whatever than means. I assume I'll be carrying out illegal abortions.
Or cutting WTB's hair.

Reading the Eurogamer face-off you should be able to run it, but most likely at sub-console settings. The Eurogamer £300 budget gaming PC manages 768p at mid-40s FPS with reasonable detail settings, however your laptop falls short of that PC's specifications.

Don't you have a proper PC to play games on Pete? I'm sure you've mentioned one in the not too distant past.
By all accounts if you chuck even a mid-spec PC at it you'll get an overall experience somewhat better than either the 360 or PS3 delivers.

I do have a proper PC, but its game playing days are increasingly shaky. It's just under three years old and has an E5300 dual core with a HD4850 1gb GFX card with 4 gig ram and Win7. It runs source games fine, and Sim City 4, Freespace 2 mods, Minecraft and Gettysburg (
) so I have no major beefs. It's my go-to photo-editing machine too, thanks to the lovely big Samsung-Awesomo monitor it has. As for my laptop I bought i mainly for the writing and back-up photo editing, and the odd game on holiday option. It punched above its weight enough to convince me to switch to it for the bulk of my gaming and now I find I'm back in the neon clutches of PC gaming once again.
X-Box? Tempting, but no dice. Need me mods. Need me strategy games.
To be honest, I can wait a couple more years I think before I seriously consider buying a new machine. As long as I can play the strategy games I love (not too resource intensive) and the odd shooter I'm happy. I'll probably snap and buy a spiffing new one a year from now when the PC requirements have levelled off and hardware changes become pifflingly incremental in nature.
You should buy Gettysburg, AE. Best AI in any game ever. Seriously.
Good sounding single player campaign goodness! Yay!
Heres hoping it's better than Deus Ex. Which was good, don't get me wrong, I just want better.

So far, certainly better than DXHR. I love it.
