I liked the gameplay in Dishonored, but something about a lot of the mission designs felt... janky. Not sure why, couldn't put my finger on it. Wasn't overly keen about most of the story either. (The basic idea, yes; the execution and development, no.) Eventually gave up maybe around 3/4 through it.

I think the game is justly praised for what it is; I'm pretty sure my rejection was only subjective taste.

Curious to hear what you think of Dishonored JD.

the UI will be wrong  :P

I liked Dishonored very much but it was not my favorite game of its type...that would be Thief.

There were things in Dishonored that I wished I could change...like the timeline a bit (more 1890s than 1940s) and I always thought the characters should have had British accents, etc.

But there were some things I absolutely loved...the level design, the music.

Altogether that added up to a great game in my eyes.

Sang-froid. There's no singing in the game. But there probably should be.

Singing makes everything better.

Anyone play Call of Duty: Ghosts? 50% off in a current flash sale at Steam. The trailers look amazing and I've been wanting to pick it up for a while, but not for 60.00. 30.00 seems more reasonable. Gold Edition too.

Anyone?

I thought that Ghosts was the best COD in the series.  I really liked multiplayer and the options it featured.  Yes the single player story may be a bit weak compared to the other games but I was entertained.

My opinion though is coming from a casual FPS player whereas JH has real world experience to judge Ghosts by.   ;)

I'd check - don't take my word for it...I have an incredibly bad memory - but I'm pretty sure it wasn't even good, nevermind great

Gah now I'm torn...I am not going to play MP. Is it worth 30.00 for the SP?

You need to speak to JH - I'm sure he had some rather strong opinions about it

Lot of gaming for $3.  Notice System Shock 2 was patched for native 1920x1080 support, no need for a mod now.

wonder if they included any of the graphic mods for the game? wouldn't you have to use different textures for that much wider of a resolution? I have the GOG version and i always have to mod it up.
