Which Will Be Better? Deus Ex: Human Revolution vs. Dishonored

Gaming Irresponsibly writes: In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, players’ choices will have a significant influence over the story; Dishonored will likely be no different. The freedom of choice both games will offer – both in terms of choices and consequences and plot progression – are also indicative of an RPG experience.

Also, both games incorporate character upgrade systems. In Dishonored, you’re expanding your arsenal of supernatural powers and other abilities. In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, you’re using cybernetics to turn Adam Jensen into a meaner, more efficient killing machine.

The question is: which game will ultimately be better and why?

Deus Ex!!!! too stoned to explain why, time to go bed wooty wooot

fluffydelusions4665d ago

Agreed. Long time fan of the series.

Godchild10204665d ago

I think this article is stupid. How can we really compare the two when there is not enough info nor gameplay on Dishonered?

I know I will be picking up Deus Ex day one and that is all I can talk about lately. While on the other hand Dishonered looks interest and sounds interesting, I'm just not looking forward to it (that will change as the release comes around).

ATi_Elite4664d ago

Totally agree...STUPID article!

We know very little about Dishonored as compared to the hours of game play video i've seen of Deus ex:HR.

this article is like comparing the graphics of UC2 to Agent!

UC2 = we all have seen it or played it
Agent = we have no clue as to what the game is about.

Gaming Irresponsibly is quickly becoming the new home for shit articles and lulz worthy jernalism.

jozzah4664d ago

Considering there is practically nothing on Dishonored........ I DON'T KNOW

TheOtherTheoG4664d ago

Well, not entirely true. We do know that the games is set in the 1800's in an industrial city called Dunwall, with a semi-cyberpunk artstyle, and that you play Corvo, a voiceless assassin with magical powers who has been framed for assassinating his employer, The Empress, and the main plot of the game is about exacting revenge on those who framed him. The game is similar to Deus Ex in that you can choose how you want to play the game, you can sneak around everyone and everything without engaging with them, or you can go in swords-blazing, or you can hack into things, or you can use your magical powers which mostly involve distracting or immoblizing the enemy rather than directly damage them, or you can do all of the above. One magical power involves sending a bunch of rats scuttling across the floor to distract your enemy, for example, one makes you invisible for a short period of time, one allows you to bend and even stop time, one allows you to stop time and move the enemy in front of his own bullet, killing themselves. It will be developed by Arkane Studios, with help from Half-Life 2's art director and Harvey Smith, who worked on Deus Ex.

There is quite a lot of stuff we know about Dishonoured, if you're prepared to look. Whether it will be better than Deus Ex HR, we'll have to see, but I'm definitely excited for both.

Steam Punk, not Cyber Punk, just sayin ;-)

MrBeatdown4664d ago

Does it matter? Deus Ex looks great, and Dishonored sounds like it could be great. What's the point in declaring one better than the other?

yog-sothot4664d ago

I fully agree !

I am just glad to see that games of this genre are being made once again !

stevenhiggster4664d ago

Exactly!
I've already pre purchased Deus EX, and Dishonoured sounds awesome too.
Too many crap articles these days on why X is better than Y, why is it wrong to like both?

The og deus ex is magical. Im also very exited about mass effect legendary edition from the gp. Its next on my playlist never played mass effect game before.

IamTylerDurden1380d ago (Edited 380d ago )

Never played ME? It's imo the greatest trilogy of all-time and perhaps the best setting outside maybe Fallout. Play it. Great DLC as well. In 2 & 3 at least. Skip Andromeda. Also, Human Revolution was great as well even if OG fans claim otherwise.

shinoff2183380d ago

Mass effect 1 was great. I feel they dumbed down alot on the 2nd one and seemed more action like. Mass effect 1 the citadel was an explorable city. Far as I got in Mass effect 2 it was reduced to a location list no traveling through it. I disliked it alot(the citadel) part. I also feel they went more action oriented then rpg

just_looken379d ago

It always makes me mad when you see something you have done in the first mass effect or dragon age can make something change in the 3rd because bioware make 6 games in what 8 years? that did this but today 0 games do this.

I wish we had trilogies today were we can share saves and have multiple endings/path's on all 3 because of choices from anyone of them.

Its so funny being the bad sheparad from one to 3 then the end having just you and joker ha ha yet everyone is like hey your a hero with a 90% casualty rate.

CBaoth379d ago

Fallout can't hold Mass Effect's jockstrap. The one Fallout even in the ballpark is 3, and that's only because the DLC was extremely good. When Ken Rolston was in Bethesda's employment were they good. That's about it. They're now the world's greatest copy/paste developer out there. Bioware at their pinnacle was ten times better a studio than Todd's team. Go look up the games

IamTylerDurden1379d ago

Mass Effect is my favorite, followed by 2 and 3. Yes, ME2 was dumbed down but also refined in terms of polish and accessibility. ME2 had an awesome story, great DLC, and a solid cast. Mordin in particular. It's a great game. Even 3 which was the weakest was still solid imo despite the ending. If u love ME how do u not enjoy all 3?

Fallout is not a better game though FO3 was great. In terms of setting though Fallout is Mt Rushmore. The 50's post apoc setting was brbrilliant. I still put ME setting n lore above but FO is up there with setting.

Man play mass effect, best games ever

Miraak82 380d ago

Xenogears is my fav sci fi rpg

closed_account379d ago

Right? There's a serious lack of classics on this list.

The original 2 Star Oceans. Rogue Galaxy...

IamTylerDurden1379d ago

Rogue Galaxy never got that critical love. Beautiful PS2 game. Was it L5?

closed_account378d ago

@IamTylerDurden1 Yep, Level5. Love their stuff. Dark Cloud 3 please...

Godmars290380d ago

Why aren't there more? A Star Trek RPG for one. Or something with non humanoid aliens?

shinoff2183380d ago

Cause for some damn reason medieval is more popular ugghhh. I'd take some sci fi sh anyway over it. I've said time and time again I hope the elden guys are working on a sci fi type game.

Godmars290380d ago (Edited 380d ago )

Something non-post apocalypse or dystopian. Just world saving. Fighting bad guys while doing good and dealing with ethical/moral/psychological quandaries.

sadraiden379d ago

The reason why fantasy RPGs, and Fantasy as a genre, are more popular than Sci-Fi, is because of the low technology/high magic tropes. If all of your problems can be solved with looking up the answer on a smartphone, well, there's just lower stakes than if a character has to have a sword fight, and climb the tower, and rescue the fair princess and recite the ancient incantation to seal the evil.

Obviously you can have universe ending stakes in Sci-Fi, but that requires abstract reasoning, and an ability to RP in a way that is progressive instead of regressive. Couple that with Sci-Fi games and media generally being faster paced, and you've got a genre that attracts a very specific demographic of gamers.

just_looken379d ago

or go crazy and make a starship troopers rpg can you survive the bug fight?

The animated show was great showed what someone can do with the lore.

Fist4achin379d ago

A Starship Troopers game as a real time strategy like the command and conquer series would be awesome.

just_looken379d ago

@fist

We have that today but its a small team with a smal budget
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Its not a major rts sadly but a start

jznrpg380d ago

I really hope Naughty Dog is doing a Sci-Fi game. As a lover all most things RPG I would love to see Naughty Dog quality in an RPG.

porkChop380d ago

They could do some really great stuff with sci-fi. The sense of grand adventure of Uncharted, but also with the stealth and crafting of The Last of Us. Different planets, creative alien races, collecting junk to craft repairs and upgrades for your ship and weapons, etc.

shinoff2183380d ago

Porkchop

Your getting me excited for something that doesn't exist. Damn

shinoff2183380d ago

He'll yea , hope we here something about that if they are. I'm not to worried about factions at all

just_looken379d ago

If it was the old naughty dog i would want that the new naughty dog no thanks.

IamTylerDurden1379d ago (Edited 379d ago )

TLOU2 is the finest game ND has made. U4 was fantastic. New ND is a more impressive ND. I don't rate Crash n Jak like i do Uncharted and TLOU. Even Uncharted 1 and 3 were not as well crafted as TLOU, TLOU2, U4 imo. Idc if ppl troll TLOU2, most ppl are clueless, that game was incredibly impressive.

TLOU2 combat, visuals, and acting were the best of the genre. I found the story deeper and more profound than most but it's subjective. The level design was excellent also. The score. Audio. Animation. It was a masterpiece to me. The rope physics, detail. TLOU2 deserved Elden Ring scores and ER deserved TLOU2 scores. If any game deserved 97 in recent years it's TLOU2. Best game i ever played and if ppl come with Abby bs i already know it's not worth it. Those who call TLOU2 trash are foolish. Just look at it running...

The Magic of 'Dishonored’s' Blink

It’s a shame, really, that so few games have “borrowed” Dishonored’s Blink – in the right hands, such a power could be game-changing.

It felt kinda cheap to me… both in terms as a tactic, and game design

Abnor_Mal457d ago (Edited 457d ago )

There was a small game called Aragami that “borrowed” the blink, that was a good game.

Unfortunately I heard the sequel wasn’t good so I stayed away from trying it out.

sairenfox2099456d ago

The sequel changed some of the mechanics from the first game but it was still a very polished and enjoyable experience. You should definitely give it a shot sometime. The game's currently on sale on Steam

Abnor_Mal456d ago

Okay thanks for the heads up, will look out for it being on sale one day.

I really did like the first and played it back to back as soon as I finished the first play through.

Why the Dishonored Franchise Is Worth Revisiting in 2022

Dishonored's engaging lore, creative levels, and timeless gameplay are well worth revisiting for fans of the immersive sim and stealth genre.
