Well I'm referring to the first game, my theoretical version of all these "pick your body type" woke games is that they should remove the choice and focus on a single protagonist. Dishonored 2 with just Emily however is a game that makes more sense writing-wise but would be a worse game to have repeat playthroughs of. Conversely if you play as corvo for your first playthrough you're just getting a game that shit the bed in the writing department. Of course to anyone who played The Brigmore Witches we have to wonder why Delilah is even back in the first place and how we expect the seal to work at the end of Dishonored 2? This all assuming low chaos/non-kill options are always canon even the horrific rape dungeon one since that seems to be how they always make their sequels.
Arkane Studios: Dishonored / Deus Ex / Thief - One of the gaming industry's most unfortunate victims.

Bringing back Delilah was the dumbest decision they could've made. And it's all because they wanted to have a new baddie take the throne from you.
I really wanted Dishonored 2 to combine the dynamic linear gameplay of the first game with the RPG mechanics of say New Vegas. Instead of stopping corruption with brute force only, you could combine that with diplomacy and using your authority as a ruler. The crux of the game would be knowing when to use violence and when not to. I feel like Dishonored 2 was a massive missed opportunity.

Because society has fallen apart, you fucking sperg. Most men in that first game are morally depraved butchers and hardened criminals. Did you mean that? YES! That's the fucking world you wanted to establish. Those kinds of people will never be happy because they see a bigoted boogeyman in every corner.

I am sad that Arcane is getting closed, I did enjoy Dishonored 1-2 and Prey as well, but man Deathloop was just "meh" and RedFall, that game was just a fuckin mess even if the stuff how ZeniMax had a bigger say is true, you guys could have LEAST tried so it didnt suck.

Is RedFall servers dead? They could be added to the case against server based games dying

Going to be honest: I'm really not saddened by the loss of Arkane Austin. Literally the only game I found worth a damn was Dishonored and even Prey fanboys need to admit the talent fled the sinking shit before Redfall.

Implying the servers were alive, when that game ran like ass and gettin a lobby with 4 people was a dice roll at best.
I mean, Im a Prey fanboi and even I know these guys sank right when DeathLoop was up.

Arkane Austin didn't want to finish Redfall, but Xbox forced them to do it. A lot of old staff at Arkane Austin have left since then as they became convinced that the leadership at Xbox Game Studios is retarded.
Pretentious schizobabble.
That's a shame. For some reason Xbox chose to shitcan the studio that made the Evil Within games and Ghostwire Tokyo instead of Arkane Lyon. Even though the last 4 games Lyon has worked on were massive flops.

Sadly, I think Ghostwire and Evil Within also weren't big hitters, which was a shame cause I really enjoyed 'em.

True and journos celebrated Deathloop for some fucking reason. I still hope Matt Booty doesn't get his hands on id Software, but we all know it'll happen.

From what I remember the reason they celebrated Deahtloop, was because it gave a middle finger towards Dishonoreds approach, how you needed to be stealthy, plan your moves. Deathloop? Nah, fuck that son, grab a piece and start blastin' dem fools.

No Deathloop got 10/10s and a hundred bajillion undeserved awards because both the male and female leads were scowling blacks with afros who talked in what white people think is black slang and acted angry all the time.
The pandering was so obvious and transparent that even Skillup who I consider to be king of the trend chasing normie gamers posted on Twitter that he didn't think it was very good and suspected that its popularity was quote unquote "due to something else."

The current version of Redfall requires logging in to bethesda.net servers, even if you play in single player mode. For now they are keeping the servers online and haven't announced any plans to shut them down. The studio was working to patch an offline mode into the game, but this will probably never happen since it was announced that the current version of Redfall is the final version with no further development on the game.

That long ass section in prey where you are quite literally forced to sit through and relive a long ass dogshit lesbian melodrama with no alternative around it to unlock a voice activated door makes me laugh everytime I see people go "Bro, Prey had good characters!"
Everytime I had to sit through one of their shitty audio logs going "uwu date me please?
" for the nth time my mind was drifting to how much more fun I would be having at that moment if I was just playing bioshock and listening to one of Sander Cohen's audiologs screaming about ripping rabbit's ears off instead.
It is genuinely incredible what happened to Arkane. They had 1 half decent story/surprise hit with dishonored, and then its like all their writers commited ritualistic suicide, dishonored 2, prey, youngblood, redfall, just shit after shit after shit.
What happened? Did anita sarkeesian personally lobotomize every single person in the studio? How did one of the biggest up and comers fall so low after a single hit?
