Deathloop - If At First You Don’t Succeed... Die, Die Again

Discuss.

I wasn't immediately fond of it when it was announced, even though I love Arkane Studios for Prey and Dishonored. Looks like a fast-paced Dishonored fueled by happy drugs instead of melancholy, so I'm still interested. We'll see.

[KAC]

Yeah I am not feeling this game at all.

[xCLAVEx]

Oh...another rogue like game...yawn.

[Jet Black]

Oh...another rogue like game...yawn.

Is it? I didn't get that feeling... it seems to be a story driven FPS similar to the Dishonored games, but perhaps with more action.

I dig the aesthetics and will give it a chance, but not sure it's a day one purchase. Watching some of the powers, it seems Arkane just wants to make the same games over and over with slight variations. Hopefully this one is varied enough to not feel like Dishonored 1960's edition.

[Mangler]

Wait, is this a story-driven game, I though it was an MP title?

Isn't this the game where one players tries to complete some objectives while the other one tries to stop them?

global warming, covid, skynet...

may 2021, wtf

Steam says Singleplayer and PvP multiplayer, maybe it's both? It seems to be priced as a AAA game, so if it's just multiplayer objective play, I'm out.

[Dr. Zhivago]

A 2nd person can play as the Juliana, the Sniper assassin to stop the main character from completing his objectives. That's the PVP part.

I've never played Dishonored or any other Arkane Lyon game, so for me, this is a fairly fresh take. I really like the art style. I'll wait for release and some reviews to see if I make the purchase.

I just want dark messiah 2

Deathloop, the newest supernatural stealth-action title from Arkane Studios, is twisting the elements of a roguelike to suit its time-travelling narrative. ... In Deathloop, players will live a day over and over as they uncover the mysteries of Black Reef, the esoteric island run by hedonistic partiers.

So they claim it's a rogue like but...different. Yeah I'll pass, I've had my fill of rogue like games. The only one I really liked was Everspace. Hades is ok, but it just didn't grab me.

[nutcrackr]

Not my sort of game. I'll replay a game if it's good. I won't replay a game until it's good, and this looks like the latter. Also don't want to play a stealth game where another player is out there trying to kill you. Will definitely be waiting for a demo or a heavy discount before even thinking about this.

10s eh?


This game was on my radar since I saw it, I might have to give it a go.

[theshadowcult]

Of course it is. It's arkane, literally every game they have made has been quality. Not always the greatest, but definitely top quality.

Im not too much a fan of arkane.. wasnt too big into dishonored. I cant already see some of the powers of those games creeping into this one. But this one looks different enough to give it a go.

[Ravens Nest]

I just want dark messiah 2

I wish that to, it is the nearest to a Ultima underworld RPG that I have ever played.

[DeathKnight]

Sucks it won't be on Game Pass for a year.

[Thr0tt]

Dishonoured 3 ?

[Silent-Runner]

Dishonoured 3 ?

nope, completely different game mechanic

[Megaman]

Dis is on my wish list for now until probably a sale cos I'll be knee deep in Death Stranding.

You dont have to enjoy a game to see its top quality. Just like you can enjoy playing a crappy game, or watching a **** movie. They are mutually exclusive.

I never said they were bad games/bad quality.. they just aren't for me.

I think I will indulge in death loop though.

[KAC]

Watched 2 10/10 reviews and still don’t understand why it is 10/10. I hate replaying sections of games (basically Metroid/rogue) so definitely doesn’t seem exciting for me. Also 8 targets is less than Hitman 6 chapter games. Also don’t like the art style as well.

Maybe a 5 dolla pickup or game pass it since most Aspyr games do come to game pass.

Seems like a niche game that will probably flop.

[Drexion]

It'll probably be closer to The Forgotten City (link) where even though you're playing the same day over and over it gets more and more interesting as the information you learn from previous loops gives you the insight to solve the quests in the game using different methods and achieving different outcomes.

That game had a fantastic method of preventing the annoyance of "replying sections", as there is an NPC whom you can instruct at the start of each 'loop' to cover the ground for activities you've already done)

[KAC]

I will check out forgotten city - added to my wishlist.
But will wait on this one. I bought into the hype with Dishonored and Prey games and just killed everyone in dishonored and never made much effort in Prey. Not my cup of tea usually.

[Megaman]

Does this launch Bethesda launcher if bought from Steam?

[KAC]

You launch it on GOG that opens Epic that opens Steam that opens Uconnect that opens Origin that opens Beth launcher that opens Xbox game pass.

Fixed.

[KAC]

Damn!

[clerick]

Friend got it, confirmed what other people writing in reviews. Seems like there's really bad microstuttering due to denuvo and whatever else. Console versions aren't exhibiting such problems, ugh ****ing DRM.

Yeah but what about the game...

[clerick]

Games good, just if you aren't playing it on pc. It's like RE7 again but worse.

[Mangler]

It's not a case of people not realizing that the highest settings are way above what the ps5 is capable of?

Could be

[Silent-Runner]

it already got patched, i dunno what problem some people still seem to have. Only minor prob i encountered was microstuttering which also went away with recent drivers.

[azalea]

They fixed it? Bah, I was going to post a smartarse joke about how the Die, Die in the thread title was due to stutter.

[KAC]

Any gay boning?

apparently it is/was an DRM-issue, how surprising......
