Finally started this, this is the type of game perfect for my life with work and shyt. Just playing short sessions of one/two full loops progressing a little bit. Having fun with just fukking around since I just started and have to find most visionaries first.

Just finished. Great game.

My favorite game so far this gen other than Elden Ring.

Arkane style of gameplay is just so perfect for me. Can’t wait to see what they do next. :wow:

I think they finally nailed it with this game. Dishonored was fun, but it sucks that the game essentially tries to punish you for being willing to kill. This is just freeform fukkery until you start putting together the perfect loop.

The new ending seems to be leaning into the possibility of a sequel, so here's hoping they're already a year or so deep on working on it.

Their next game looks good too.

And also shout out to Arkane for always putting black characters front and center. Using black voice actors and doing it the right way. Looked into it and for both Actors that play colt and Julianna, this was their big break, they now have whole ass careers off getting cast in this game.

Arkane will alway have me there day one. My favorite devs right now.

I'm not sold on Redfall yet, but that's just because there's not a whole lot of info and footage out there yet.

But the best part is that Deathloop and Redfall are the first two games they've made since completely splitting Arkane Lyon and Austin. If for some reason Redfall isn't good, whatever Lyon is working on might not be that far away.

It’s always the same with their games. First trailers have you like

:patrice: don’t know if this is gonna work.

But then the game comes out and as long as it has that Arkane backbone it will be good. Last info that came out they said it would be a “classic arkane experience” That’s all i needed to hear :blessed:

I heard people complain about dumb AI when the game launched

I played this in 2022 with the patch, the AI snitches like Charleston White when a nikka pull up. If Colt even farts I get a yellow !. Alexis party was always mad even when I was invisible they would investigate. "What was that? it'd better not be colt"

Before I got some decent slabs I did the party by placing turrets as far inside as possible then dipped :lolbron:

Yeah, they tweaked one of the endings to, I think, give themselves some runway for a sequel. Also, some folks think it leans into some of the Easter eggs and fan theories a little bit.


It's mostly minor DLC, though. They added a new slab, a new enemy type, a new weapon, and you can get legendary level trinkets now. They're basically combos of other trinkets, but come from more limited sources. They're fun, since you can mess around and create some truly busted builds. Also added what's effectively custom difficulty under the accessibility menu.

Bet I gotta give it another run through. Any updates to multiplayer?
I wish they would’ve added communication. Hearing people rage die or beg for life in the later stages of the loop would be so fulfilling :ohlawd:

They kept destroying my turrets :francis: with shotguns and then getting suspicious turrets work well for visionaries but not large groups at least in my experience.
BUt I think you might have positioned yours well

If you miss your headshots you're fukked.

Finished

Julianna being his daughter wasn't necessary, she worked so much better as a potential love interest. *sigh*

It also didn't help that little bytch ass jabroni spoiled it for me. Other than that great game. Arkane is my favorite xbox studio. I hope there is a sequel. Arkane gameplay is addictive. I'll comeback to this to try out other slab configurations and what not.

Next up, Redfall.

Oh and the music in this was incredible. :whew:
