might get this in a few months when it's cheaper and i have finished slogging through ds9.

i loved the first one and am excited for this one but yeah i never buy new games so it'll probably be a while before i play it

this is pretty great. very similar to the first one but the level design might be even better. somehow it doesn't feel like 'fetch quests' when you're criss-crossing the same area for different objectives, and most of environments are so detailed.

also the tiny fonts on everything keep reminding me to make an appointment to update my glasses prescription.

yeah enjoying this. i am so bad at stealth tho. i get impatient or just press the wrong button and fire my gun, then all hell breaks loose. my character is already "high chaos". though on one level i did find a big pipe high up in the sky and strolled to the finish.

the tiny fonts thing is so fucking annoying and in every game. i have fairly good eyesight and don't wear glasses and it's maddening.

i'm going full stealth, no murders. at first i was constantly re-loading saves every time all hell broke loose. i still am, but it's happening slightly less frequently.

i feel like i generally don't have the time to play a game enough and get stealthy. it's also a bit emotionally/morally unintuitive - like in the second city by the docks i overheard some rotund jerk throwing his weight around at his workers, like threatening and hassling them, so far as videogame morality goes, i did the right thing by maiming him fatally and throwing him into the sea. but all the workers ran away screaming and i was the bad guy! sad!

haha. that's very realistic!

i definitely save it for when i have a decent block of time to get into it, but you can deal with rooms or scenarios as smaller chunks, and i love that you can save at any moment.

i was a bit unimpressed by how it looked, to begin with, possibly in comparison to witcher 3, but there's definitely some really nice character to the buildings and the cities.

looking forward to getting this, though i just dropped $$ for titanfall 2

plan to do one bloodless run-through with i guess corvo, and then a straight murderous run-through with emily
