Ne. HATEOT je ubjedljivo najgori dungeon ikad, a igrao sam Dragon Age Origins, DA2, i Kotor 2. Ali HATEOT je bez premca.

In the eyes of British honor culture, Corvo is a villain. His conduct is not that of a gentleman: he allows himself to be subjugated, he takes unfair advantage, and his vicious methods speak to his foreign origins. Interestingly, when we look at Dishonored from this perspective of honor culture, its themes appear very different.
Regardless of how the player approaches missions in Dishonored, Corvo never fights fair. He stabs people from behind. He snipes guards long-distance. He uses booby traps and magic. Shockingly to an 18th century mind, he rifles through people’s private correspondence. In short, the already-disgraced Corvo does all the tasks the blue bloods of the Loyalist Conspiracy are unable to perform because it might sully their reputations.
Furthermore, even Corvo’s merciful actions are anything but – it’s true, for instance, that Corvo spares Overseer Campbell’s life by marking him with the heretic’s brand. Yet as a result of that action, Campbell gets thrown out into the streets of the Flooded District where he’s ravaged by the rat plague, a death far crueler than any Corvo’s weapons could inflict. Much the same could be said for the fate of the Pendleton twins who end their lives as slaves in their family silver mine, Lady Boyle who’s sold off to an obsessive suitor, and Hiram Burroughs, who presumably faces execution for his crimes. In fact, the irony of these actions is that Corvo is dishonoring these aristocrats the same way he himself was dishonored – by stripping away their social status and downgrading them to live powerless, subjugated lives. While it’s certainly a poetic reversal, it has nothing to do with how a gentleman is supposed to treat his enemies. During wartime, captured officers were often given the right of parole and allowed to live relatively normal lives, and even Napoleon – a dictator who murdered thousands – was allowed an honorable if restrictive exile. Corvo isn’t interested in respecting his opponents. He’s not a gentleman, but a killer crawling through the sewers.
And that’s the interesting part, of course, because Corvo isn’t English. Or rather, he’s not from Gristol like the other members of the conspiracy. Corvo hails from Serkonos, a southern island filled with grapes and dates, with sunny beaches and trade links to the East. Due to the island’s description and place names, as well as the name “Corvo” itself – which means “crow” in Italian, and can mean either “crow” or “raven” in Portuguese – Serkonos seems to be Mediterranean in nature, which opens up an exciting line of inquiry in our discussion of honorable combat. See, Corvo’s actions don’t seem to line up with English honor culture but they do resemble the Italian vendetta, which is a fundamentally different from of honor combat. Duels are a display of courage in a structured environment, while the vendetta is retaliatory murder. The vendetta is different from the duel, says Dr. Banks, because it involves social groups and is focused on doing harm: “The vendetta is a familial phenomenon in which the obligation to perform it is imposed upon groups. The sentiment expressed is perhaps something like, I cannot live as a man in this world knowing this man has harmed my family and I have done nothing.” In the vendetta, you do not have to respect your opponent. You can stab someone in the back. You can deceive and trap them, or destroy their lives. You do everything possible to avenge the people you love. That sounds a great deal like Corvo and his actions in Dishonored. After all, we are talking about a game that carries the tagline Revenge Solves Everything, and frequently hints that Empress Jessamine and Lady Emily may figuratively or literally be Corvo’s family. Therefore, in addition to Corvo’s decreased social status causing friction with the Loyalists, we might add culture clash to the mix, and it’s a historically-based culture clash too. According to Dr. Banks, a great deal of English dueling literature from the late 18th and early 19th centuries stated that the English were “superior to the Southern Europeans because in England men of honor dueled with manly courage and then made up their differences, whereas in Southern Europe cowards stab each other in vicious and interminable vendettas.” Given this vast cultural gulf, as well as their desire to clean up after the dark deeds that would inevitably stain their characters, it’s unsurprising that the top tier of the Loyalist leadership ultimately tries to distance themselves from Corvo and all associations with him.

KOTOR i Syberia nisu isti par čarapa. Prvi je RPG u popularnom univerzumu sa dosta akcije, a drugi je point-and-click adventure koji ne zna tačno u koji pravac da ide. Haj što je PaC po defaultu ogroman time sink, jer ne znaš šta tačno developer hoće od tebe, gdje da odeš i šta da klikneš (ja sam posle pola sata otvorio walkthrough, jer mi je već tad igra počela da ide na kurac), al' kad igraš igru za koju misliš da je manje-više grounded in reality, i onda se počneš raspravljat' sa jebenim robotom oko karte za voz, to mi je znak da sam prestar, i da možda nisam igr'o ovu igru na vakat. Al' eto, svako voli svoje.ferratilis wrote: ↑11/06/2023 14:59 Ovo ti se nece oprostit', da znas.
Naumpao mi Kotor 2, tako da sam poceo igrat prije par dana. Za razliku od Tite, meni stare igre uopce ne smetaju.
Nisam. Nekad sam rado igr'o adventure igre poput Monkey Island, Indiana Jones itd. al' valjda su mi se ukusi promijenili kroz ove godine.DonieBrasco wrote: ↑11/06/2023 15:55Jesi li igro Broken Sword serijal, ako ne mozda ti se svidi ta avantura.Tito_i_Partija wrote: ↑11/06/2023 04:55 Odust'o od Syberia nakon možda dva sata.

Ovako odlutaš u neki drugi svijet nakratko, malo odmoriš mozak i sve super.
