Rest in Peace Daniel Licht. Composer of the OST for Dishonored 1 and 2. Just listen to it, even if you haven't played the game. You will feel the game just through the music.
One example of how deep the game is: Later in the middle of the game, after you saved Emily, Calysta the carer, will ask you to find Emily cuz they were playing hide and seek and if you find Emily, she will give u a rune that she found in the river mud. And if you pay attention to what Outsider says in the second mision when he would tell u about an old city under the Dunwall he will mention the runes and: "Children still find them washed up in the river mud"- he predicted this from the beginning.
16:28 I assume this is a trained AI voice model or something and if it is then you have discovered its true and only purpose. I laughed so hard at that, damn😂
Also if you keep trying to "talk" to Emily when she is sleeping (after the Sokolov mission I believe) one of her lines is her asking someone to stop talking to her and asking why his eyes are so black... Makes you wonder if he meant for her to find the rune, not to mention the foreshadowing for Dishonored II
Also, I'm pretty sure he explains that he doesn't see time linearly, but instead gets random jumbled glimpses of the world. He isn't just predicting it, he has already seen it.
@@Arkaner3 Before throwing shade, look at the details. They're two completely different studios. Dishonored, Prey and Deathloop were all developed by Arkane Lyon. Redfall was a brand new studio in Austin with completely different roster of developers behind it, with just Harvey Smith having some power over the game's creative direction, as usual. Possible a couple more devs from Lyon on it. And it's not just that they're different studios, save for the name, but Bethesda were also aching to dish the game out as soon as possible after Deathloop, the game that Arkane Lyon were developing.
Fun fact: The reason young me actually played through it again without killing is because how samuel reacted during the last mission. He was one of the strongest bonds since he's been around since the beginning, and how he reacted made me want to redo it and keep him friendly :)
Dishonored 1 and 2 are among my most replayed games. Some of the best world building in gaming, nothing forced it just teases you into wanting to know more. Playing it as a no kill, no detection and no power is one of the funnest ways to play it.
I remember playing this as a kid (i was like 11 lmao) and thinking the Tallboys were indestructible because you couldn't swordfight them. Accidentally drop assassinated one by clumsily falling off a ledge and button mashing in a panic. I was truly the stealth of all time😂
The goddamn Outsider Pickle Rick joke absolutely killed me. When he said "I saw a man once turn himself into a pickle" I was like huh never heard that line before in all my playthroughs but it kinda fits the outsider character, then the punchline kicked in and I had to pause the video to die laughing, and then liked and subscribed. Also thank you for talking about my all-time favorite game with more passion and thoroughness that I could ever put to video.
Fun Fact: If you decline Samuel's offer to immediately leave Coldridge Prison and then dive into the water, Samuel has specific dialgoue to warn you about the hagfish. You can also find a sunken chest with loot nearby. I've played Dishonored 1 to death, and found out only recently.
THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS GAME ... I am STILL finding out stuff that I did not know! It's astounding how deep and unpreachy about that depth this game is!
Also: if you accept Slackjaw's second side-quest in exchange for non-lethally dealing with the Pendleton twins, kill the twins, and report back to Slackjaw after finishing his second side-quest, he has unique dialgoue where he outwardly wonders about what kind of man the Masked Felon is.
0:22 Imagine how terrifying it must be for Corvo to just see this entity standing here ranting about how his world is a stealth action game, and Bend Time doesn't even stop it.
Nah this video actually made me emotional lol. There's nothing I love more than a beautifully crafted video game made from people who love what they do. Dishonered is one of my favorite and most replayed game ever. This is the first video I've seen from you, i subscribed immediately and I'll be binging all your other ones. Amazing work.
Something I've noticed over MANY playthroughs of varying chaos and playstyles is the number of Samuel's reactions on the final level. From "you make me sick", "I don't like what you've become Corvo. That's why I'm telling them you're coming." and firing a pistol into the air, "I'm a bit disappointed in you", to "you never let it get to you" or "You're a hero to these people corvo. Bring her home." It was a lot more than just good line/bad line and I still haven't been able to find any source of every one of his reactions.
Honestly yeah, I've head of him doing that as well but never managed to get it on my play throughs. Might have been an hidden severity to the chaos if you went extra brutal.
i believe "I don't like what you've become Corvo. That's why I'm telling them you're coming." and firing a pistol into the air" happens if you kill a punch of civs ontop of everything else
Can confirm. I forgot which one I got on my "medium" chaos first run, but I got the "You're a hero" on my max diff clean hands + ghost + shadow run, and then when I speedran the game on easy murdering everyone for the high chaos ending he fired the gun. I was shocked like "samuel you bastard! 😧"🤣
Arkane creating games they want to create like Dishonored and Prey is such a treat. Atmosphere and level design are probably some if not the best in all of gaming for me. Just how you can tackle a level and go through it in so many different ways is just crazy.
Too bad Bethesda forced them to sell the company and now they lost their creative freedom. Redfall total feel like a project sent to them from marketing
My type of humor, straight forward and not overly wordy, doesn't treat his audience like senile old people who aren't familiar with the times Subbed my dude 👍
Not everyone enjoys watching 30 minute videos, or perhaps just videos on a game they dont care about. Good video but i can see why some wouldnt watch it
It’s a great video. Maybe even one of the best dishonored videos; but (and this is a fairly heavy qualifying statement) this style of review is ripped directly from nakeyjakey. Like it’s almost exactly the same. Originality speaks volumes in a world where I can abstract that most of this content is attempting to play off the viral potential that Jake’s videos maintain. It’s a disconnected, almost aloof style of diving deep into the structures of certain games or gaming ideas.
@@iWork3d Dang I missed Jakey for a while there. He's back now, but there was a long time without any uploads. It's understandable though. Yeah I can see similarities, but art doesn't exist in a vaccum. People are going to take influence from other artists, and it makes sense. I like Jakey's videos, and I like this dude's videos now too. (I just discovered this channel)
The powers that mess everything up being the tempting and cool ones is kind of the point. The story, world, and gameplay reflect the fact that blind destruction and the pursuit of revenge at any and all costs often make things worse. The story and gameplay tempt you with power and revenge, because it is making the point that power and revenge are innately tempting things. In real life, it is easy to give in to bad decisions because of greed or anger; doing so usually makes situations a lot worse. This would not work if the powers were not interesting enough to be tempting, and the villains hateable enough to want revenge on. Essentially, it is like how the game tells you the story of the world through indirect means. This is the game giving power and credence to its theme through indirect means.
Exactly, while Dishonored 2 blows chunks it's team went out of their way to basically make the game about nothing but how the Outsider's mark is a curse not a gift. And Knife of Dunwall was literally written around that axiom. The amount of people who call themselves "stealth game enthusiasts/fans" that harp on this game for punishing you for using the badass powers never paid attention to the story because they were too busy jerking themselves off for how cultured they were at turning their noses up at the game. It's pathetic With all that said, playing the entire game without using any powers at all(without killing people) except the one time you're forced to when you're put back in dunwall and have to scale that one building to the east of the start point to give the finger to The Outsider is one of the most fun playthroughs I have ever had in a game.
Its poetic that a game with such a high attention to detail deserve a review with the same treatment. The editing in this video is genuinely impressive. Good job sir.
haha thanks dog. that twilight princess one was the most scuffed, backwards abortion of an edit to make that do what i wanted it to lol. been loving your souls videos man
Loved the editing on this one. I don't know if you motion tracked yourself frame-by-frame into the environments or if you did it automatically but regardless, it must have been a pain to get right.
The scritping, the editing, the commentary, everything is just spot-on and seems to fit perfectly in your style, or "brand". I wish your Twilight Princess video to be only the first in a series of over 1M view bangers. I'm an instant fan.
How the actual fuck are you this good at editing and structure? I followed you from the beginning and I swear you were always godlike. You deserve more subs
Every minute of these videos are stacked with insane quality. I'm always looking forward to the next one. It's not the only cool effect, but the lighting effect at 15:10 is sick.
watching this on my Switch where comments aren't available. had to pull this up on my phone just to point this out, but saw that it was already done so.
So sad hearing how they overcame the power struggle in the industry just for the same industry to come back ten fold and shut them down without warning. All that effort to be without job security after getting forced to make a game they didn’t want to. Hope the employees move on to better games and companies
20 secs in and I’m already wanting to play it again. Such a love for the game one of the first games I ever 100% because it was so good and I fell in love with every aspect. Gameplay, visual style, MUSIC, LORE, characters, omg it’s just a masterpiece it really is
Only days after I discover your channel, you make a top-tier video essay on one of my favorite games of all time. Thank you for diving into this game Manley, what an awesome watch. You deserve more viewers and I know you're gonna get them.
Easily one of my favorites. Its sequels were good, but even then this game never really felt outdated by them, and was always worth coming back to time and time again. Even then, I still had no clue about details like the painting changing based on whether or not you take the item - such an insane little detail. And the editing and jokes for this? Insanely good. I was cracking up with how seamless you got the voice edits in, and your dedication to those constant greenscreen effects is just wizardry.
I'm happy you brought this to the plate, When I played this for the first time thinking why is no one talking about it This game is really well designed the art style and had a great story line... Hope they make more games like this. great video!
Seeing a shaker bottle on one of the tables at the Hound Pits had me in hysterics, thanks for that. This is one of those games where I used to know it in and out, up and down and sideways - every coin and conversation and bone charm. The way the game illustrates the lore of its world, and how much it leaves for you to put together between the fragments it leaves out for you to find and its beautiful environment design, still holds up as one of the best self-contained examples in the industry. Super cool to see someone who's still so passionate about how much they like this game.
You‘re unironically the most underrated channel I‘ve seen yet, your humor is an exact copy of what I love the most. Thank you for your effort and content, I genuinely appreciate your content and especially your time
Your jokes and your edits made my day. I’m so glad their are others who genuinely enjoyed the dishonored games. I felt the passion in this video as much as I did when playing dishonored. Thank you!
Seriously top notch entertainment. When the outsider talked about pickle Rick, I think it was the first time in a very long time that I laughed out loud from a UA-cam video.
This is one of those few times when I'm immediately sold on a channel, normally I'd watch a few videos before subbing but the quality of this video is so good (and about a game I already love) that I didn't even get halfway through before I subbed. Looking forward to binge-watching the rest of your stuff
I've had this game in my backlog for so long I felt personally attacked by this video, good stuff man, you outdone yourself with the editing in this one! It's superb!
The editing in your reviews is always super clean, and you always pack them full of so much interesting info. Also pretty rad hearing Periphery at 14:30 :)
Fr that was super unexpected and extremely rad, hearing one of your favorite bands in a video unrelated to them, just shows they are getting larger in audience
I replayed Dishonored 1 + 2 cause they were free with epic games a while ago and fell in love with them again. I haven't played since the original came out on the PS3 and they still hold up!
"the betrayal that EVERYONE soo from miles away" :) 18y old me didnt.. and it hit me like a truck to this day one of my favorite games. dashing around taking out any guards i thought were in my way and letting the rest go, jumping from ledge to ledge firing the crossbow... this video just made me go get it on pc aswell
I really enjoyed your informative, overlayed review style. I was able to watch the WHOLE thing without skipping. That's a big win when you have ADD. Bravo my man. Bravo.
Dishonored has secured its place as my favorite game of all time. This series holds a special place in my heart unlike anything else, and witnessing this insanely well-crafted video, with production values surpassing the vast majority of content on this platform, is great. It's a delight to witness this game receiving the recognition it genuinely deserves.
Having very recently played through Dishonored 1 and 2 doing ghost and clean hands. This feels like a damn near masterpiece in production quality like icing on the cake
Absolutely one of the best videos on youtube. The editing, the scripting, the pacing everything on point. Very laid back, at the same time very high quality...and that's commandable. Dishonored is one of my fav games and I've watched literally every retrospective video on it and this is definitely in my top 3. The only downside I thought was length. I would've loved to listen you for 2 hours...I think that's also a compliment...or we could say you made it very crisp which nullifies my knit-pick. I rarely comment but your video forced me to and Dishonored is so close to my heart..So I had too. This video skyrocketed my mood. Please never stop making videos. You're the creator that people NEED! Edit- will definitely be binging all your videos.
the greatest game I played without knowing what it was about (literally saw the mask and said ok) but that story stuck with me and this video depicted everything I love about Dishonored
This video made me actually go back to a game that I purchased and played through a decade ago. Thank you for your exceptional videos, keep on going in what you‘re doing, it is great!
ngl. seen tons of reviews for the game that made me love gaming again.... this one is the only one that truly expresses what i felt and had the same criticisms I experienced. Amazing job.
Wow you are going to absolutley explode more in popularity with content like this. This has to be one of the best videos I've seen in a long time, subbed can't wait for more!
The production value of this video is insane! I love the dedication and entertainment of the video on top of a great deep dive into one of the greatest games to date!
Your videos just keep getting better. Still one of the most underrated reviewers on this platform for such high quality content. One day, you're be up there with Dunkey and NakeyJakey for sure.
Honestly, This was a super fun look at the game- and stylistically stands apart from a lot of other reviews. It was really nice to see this, and get reminded of how fun this game was.
This is one of the best essays I have ever seen. Love it so much. Now I gonna binge every single one of your videos, I'm addicted. This is really one of the hidden gems that you find once in a thousand years.

How the actual fuck are you this good at editing and structure? I followed you from the beginning and I swear you were always godlike. You deserve more subs

Every minute of these videos are stacked with insane quality. I'm always looking forward to the next one.
It's not the only cool effect, but the lighting effect at 15:10 is sick.
Thanks that was by far my favorite edit. Had that fake lens flare in 3d space and had to manually keyframe it but it just made the shot look so baller
watching this on my Switch where comments aren't available. had to pull this up on my phone just to point this out, but saw that it was already done so.
So sad hearing how they overcame the power struggle in the industry just for the same industry to come back ten fold and shut them down without warning. All that effort to be without job security after getting forced to make a game they didn’t want to. Hope the employees move on to better games and companies
20 secs in and I’m already wanting to play it again. Such a love for the game one of the first games I ever 100% because it was so good and I fell in love with every aspect. Gameplay, visual style, MUSIC, LORE, characters, omg it’s just a masterpiece it really is
8:15 I love that you kept "Yes, I was in the chess club" for Toddy's Howardy's clip.
It's the law.
You were right! Best Video so far and now I remembered why I loved the Game so much back then. Thanks for that!
Only days after I discover your channel, you make a top-tier video essay on one of my favorite games of all time. Thank you for diving into this game Manley, what an awesome watch. You deserve more viewers and I know you're gonna get them.
I've been dreaming of one day making this video ever since I play it man
this is probably the best video game essay i've ever watched. the editting is masterpiece
His videos are trash since no one în The comments talks about any of his points în The video.
I still can’t believe your channel doesn’t have 10+ millions subs. Your channel is top tier in the quality department.
Hands down - you are the peak of game reviews. Pls continue peaking!
It’s so interesting !! 😄

Easily one of my favorites. Its sequels were good, but even then this game never really felt outdated by them, and was always worth coming back to time and time again. Even then, I still had no clue about details like the painting changing based on whether or not you take the item - such an insane little detail. And the editing and jokes for this? Insanely good. I was cracking up with how seamless you got the voice edits in, and your dedication to those constant greenscreen effects is just wizardry.
I'm happy you brought this to the plate, When I played this for the first time thinking why is no one talking about it This game is really well designed the art style and had a great story line... Hope they make more games like this. great video!
Seeing a shaker bottle on one of the tables at the Hound Pits had me in hysterics, thanks for that.
This is one of those games where I used to know it in and out, up and down and sideways - every coin and conversation and bone charm. The way the game illustrates the lore of its world, and how much it leaves for you to put together between the fragments it leaves out for you to find and its beautiful environment design, still holds up as one of the best self-contained examples in the industry. Super cool to see someone who's still so passionate about how much they like this game.
You‘re unironically the most underrated channel I‘ve seen yet, your humor is an exact copy of what I love the most. Thank you for your effort and content, I genuinely appreciate your content and especially your time
just like nakeyjakey fr

Damn, thanks for the recommendation, didn’t know him but he seems to be right up my alley as well. Appreciate it
It's a felony that this channel doesn't have at least 10mil subscribers.
Your jokes and your edits made my day. I’m so glad their are others who genuinely enjoyed the dishonored games. I felt the passion in this video as much as I did when playing dishonored. Thank you!
"im intrestid in you corvo and ive seen men turn themselves into pickles------- funniest shit I've ever seen
Seriously top notch entertainment.
When the outsider talked about pickle Rick, I think it was the first time in a very long time that I laughed out loud from a UA-cam video.
Yeah I was not expecting it whatsoever and it made me properly laugh out loud
Such perfect storytelling cant wait for more but madly respect the grind from the homie to hit us up with this masterpiece after nfs
This is one of those few times when I'm immediately sold on a channel, normally I'd watch a few videos before subbing but the quality of this video is so good (and about a game I already love) that I didn't even get halfway through before I subbed. Looking forward to binge-watching the rest of your stuff
Exactly, me too
lmao same here, the dude is crazy
I've had this game in my backlog for so long I felt personally attacked by this video, good stuff man, you outdone yourself with the editing in this one! It's superb!
This was a great video. Your story telling and editing skills are immaculate
The editing in your reviews is always super clean, and you always pack them full of so much interesting info. Also pretty rad hearing Periphery at 14:30 :)
Fr that was super unexpected and extremely rad, hearing one of your favorite bands in a video unrelated to them, just shows they are getting larger in audience
Also $uicideboy$ at 22:32
Which song?
@@DamsiaDeka atropos from periphery V djent is not a genre
I replayed Dishonored 1 + 2 cause they were free with epic games a while ago and fell in love with them again. I haven't played since the original came out on the PS3 and they still hold up!
Bro... The bloody editing on this video is just... YES!!!

to this day one of my favorite games. dashing around taking out any guards i thought were in my way and letting the rest go, jumping from ledge to ledge firing the crossbow...
this video just made me go get it on pc aswell
18:33 thank for putting a smile on my face
I really enjoyed your informative, overlayed review style. I was able to watch the WHOLE thing without skipping. That's a big win when you have ADD. Bravo my man. Bravo.
28:20 I am so glad you included this bit - Some of these non-lethal options are designed by absolute madmen.

Dishonored has secured its place as my favorite game of all time.
This series holds a special place in my heart unlike anything else, and witnessing this insanely well-crafted video, with production values surpassing the vast majority of content on this platform, is great. It's a delight to witness this game receiving the recognition it genuinely deserves.
Wow you really know how to make a captivating video. Editing and narration is on point. Well done :)

Having very recently played through Dishonored 1 and 2 doing ghost and clean hands. This feels like a damn near masterpiece in production quality like icing on the cake
Absolutely one of the best videos on youtube. The editing, the scripting, the pacing everything on point. Very laid back, at the same time very high quality...and that's commandable. Dishonored is one of my fav games and I've watched literally every retrospective video on it and this is definitely in my top 3. The only downside I thought was length. I would've loved to listen you for 2 hours...I think that's also a compliment...or we could say you made it very crisp which nullifies my knit-pick. I rarely comment but your video forced me to and Dishonored is so close to my heart..So I had too. This video skyrocketed my mood. Please never stop making videos. You're the creator that people NEED!
Edit- will definitely be binging all your videos.
Your videos are absolutely amazing. The editing, humor, graphics and visuals, etc are all top, TOP notch. Legend

Hey Manley, congrats on this video blowing up, you deserve the recognition from your efforts
I loved that by the end of this game you actually feel like a stealth god
Dishonored video? You know the drill...
Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight?
Indeed, I believe so.
"Do you ever think about anything other than whiskey and cigars?"
28:34 No... that's where temptation beggins
the greatest game I played without knowing what it was about (literally saw the mask and said ok) but that story stuck with me and this video depicted everything I love about Dishonored
i fucking love your editing, its a lot of work but it gives your videos much needed love, unlike other chatgpt essay videos
First video I've ever seen from you, I can tell how much love was put into producing this, keep doing what you're doing. This shit is amazing
Your videos are always great, man. Really well made. Particularly enjoyed this one - one of my fave games 🙂
Thanks man!
The editing and script are of so much high quality, what an amazing video!
high level editing and one of my favorite games, instantly subscribed
This video made me actually go back to a game that I purchased and played through a decade ago.
Thank you for your exceptional videos, keep on going in what you‘re doing, it is great!
ngl. seen tons of reviews for the game that made me love gaming again.... this one is the only one that truly expresses what i felt and had the same criticisms I experienced. Amazing job.
Dishonored will always have a nice place in my heart. Crazy how innovating it was. Need another like it
Wow you are going to absolutley explode more in popularity with content like this. This has to be one of the best videos I've seen in a long time, subbed can't wait for more!
when a video about my fave game pops up i always give it a glimpse but man ur style is brilliant. great stuff, man.
Fantastic blend of really solid reporting/reviewing and comedy delivered in a very well-edited video. Cant wait to check out your other work
fucking love you for the Periphery and Gojira inclusions in this
Ahaha I love when people catch those references
The production value of this video is insane! I love the dedication and entertainment of the video on top of a great deep dive into one of the greatest games to date!
2:44 ayo thats straight slander Dark Messiah was insane for its time.
tbh i didn't even know what it was that's my b
Your videos just keep getting better. Still one of the most underrated reviewers on this platform for such high quality content. One day, you're be up there with Dunkey and NakeyJakey for sure.
I know this is an old vid, but I gotta say I appreciate the use of the Splinter Cell tracks..
Honestly, This was a super fun look at the game- and stylistically stands apart from a lot of other reviews.
It was really nice to see this, and get reminded of how fun this game was.
Best editing and jokes I've seen on a video. Hats off to you sir.

Everytime I wanna play dishonored again I watch this video. Probably my 4th re-watch lmao.
Bro it's been 5 months drop us a new vid we out here starvin
trying to watch the review but i'm distracted by your sick ass shadow/reflection edits at your feet
I still can’t believe how you’re so underrated with this level of quality in your videos. Every video on your channel is top tier entertainment.

The comedy was gold, every joke and bit hit perfectly
