Anyone else who played dishonored (awesome game) felt like it looked similar to half-life? first of all those giant metal walls that looked like dem big ass metal walls in half-life from the combines? the tallmans looking like striders? the Outsider who helped you kinda mystirious like g-man?
You the masked man - Corvo! like Gordon never talking (well you chose options but never heard your voice :P)
both amazing games,at my first playthrough i wasnt killing anyone and was playing as stealthy as i could..only on 2 stages or 3 i killed people (had from side-quests) and like 5 stages i couldnt stay hidden till the end but overall was fun ,i had a feeling that something bad would happend..i wouldnt kill the spymaster and all gg we got a new empress i had to be betrayed by my saviors so i sayd fuck it ill start killing and it was SOO easy .blink/backstab(passive skill that disappears body" and repeat...
what are your thoughts?

Yep. They also worked on the design of Bioshock 2. So yes, the atmosphere does feels like a mix of both :D

Viktor Antonov is the artistic talent behind Half Life 2. He's also the artistic talent behind Dishonored.

I personally thought there were too many similarities in both games. Certainly in terms of those metal walls that conveniently block off access to other parts of the city.

And yes, I found the game way too easy. Now if only they took out Blink.....

lol not only blink with agility lvl and stealth boots you just run on enemies and backstab them or double jump and "air assasinate" with combo the bone charm which gives you mana..i could posses someone and lead him to a bathroom kill him and drink watter from the faucet to do the same ..or just pause the time and kill 3 at same time :P
pause time and shoot 3 tallmans down with explosive ammo (near the end which you could ride the "train" with the dead plague bodies or when you revisit the pub)
and i was playing on hard.

Ok, I've yet to properly "kill" anyone in Dishonored yet, so I was referring to Blink in a stealth situation :P It makes life way too easy.

I find it much more similar to Bioshock. The atmosphere, the care for the details, the supernatural powers, even the graphic style is really alike. Anyway, I think Dishonored is quite a good game, far above the average (which is pretty low this days). They've managed to mix Deus Ex: HR gamestyle with Bioshock and the outcome coulnd't look better.

PS: Anyone who doesn't try to play the stealthy way won't never enjoy the full experience this games offers. There are so many ways to play it that simply killing guards is too damm boring.
