The Dishonored rose colored glasses bullshit is getting tiresome.
Especially when you slag on Hitman for having 12 ways to complete a mission is now a bad thing and magical Dishonored is something that is better because that stuff is totally not programmed.
OH WAIT it it totally fucking is, you being able to talk to some guy to do a mission for him so that he takes care of a target for you IS SCRIPTED and PRE-PLOTTED.
Sure after you kill a dude in a game it isn't surprising the second time but 12 different ways is the same as the X different ways in Dishonored will get unsurprising once you do it the first time. That is still 12 different ways to do a single stage
Also you guys totally need to stop talking about Survival Horror & Stealth Games on the same podcast because Dishonored isn't a stealth game because the lack of tension that is often talked about with it is ANATHEMA to stealth games.
Tthat genre REQUIRES tension you are trying to get through something without being noticed by people who will want to kill you YOU SHOULD FEEL TENSE.
