The graphic looks dated to me to the point I dont want to play, I tried. Could I skip this game and go straight for Dishonored 2 and DotO?

[Sunbach]

I know Dishonored and its DLCs are masterpiece, I have watched some youtube videos but the graphic is too old for me and I dont want to play the game myself.

The "graphics" are the artstyle of dishonored, similar to how games like life is strange, hades and sifu have their own artstyles, which are not the same as graphics. An artstyle merely enhances certain aspects in a unique way
skipping dishonored 1 just because of that is doing a massive disservice to yourself and because of that i would just skip the franchise overall

i understand the artstyle and it's beautiful. what I'm referring to is the polygon, the rough texture etc. you cant deny it

all done on purpose, as you know dunwall is facing the rat plague in this game, things have to look dirty for tone and atmosphere. Dishonored 2 has no rat plague so yeah things look cleaner but its all tone related

There's a reason why graphics are always frowned upon when playing older games, because they're not important. Going straight to Dishonored 2 is one of the worst experiences I've ever had. D1+DLC is more of a complete package altogether. But you do you.

nope you are in denial. how about you compare the graphic of D1 to D2 and D:DoTS ? same artstyle but the later two are much better looking

also I have been watching youtube movie story of D1 and I think I understand what went down in D1, the main game, the 2 DLCs, who is the late empress, who is emille, who is convo, who is Daud, who is Delliah, the outsider etc

Just install a mod. There's tons of graphics mod for D1 in Nexusmods.

If you're familiar with it then go ahead and play D2. Then just jump back to the older ones if you feel like it.

why the ♥♥♥♥ are you comparing a game from 2012 to one released on next gen hardware in 2015?
with your logic any game released before 5 years sucks compared to games released now... so god of war 2018 looks "ugly" compared to gow 2022
graphics does not equal quality but if your way of thinking is like that then you can miss out on so many great games because of pedantry

lol this guy

i still play through fallout 1 and 2 every year

are you mental? I'm not debating the graphic between an old game and a more recent released game. Old game has worse graphic hence I'm asking if I can SKIP the game and go straight to a new game without feeling like I miss out much precisely because the old game looks dated. ♥♥♥♥♥♥ you are dumb as ♥♥♥♥, cant even read what I asked?

i have read it and as brimstone said "muh gwafix"
nobody wants to see a remaster except around 5 people, a remaster where half the game is locked behind 30.99 DLC and weapons locked behind 19.99 dlc, yeah sure everyone wants that but oh theres a slight upgrade of "gwafix"

what the ♥♥♥♥ are you on about? yes I think the game has bad graphic because it's an old game hence I dont want to have to play it which is up to me? I'm asking here if I'm missing out on much. And here you are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about me for thinking a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10 years+ old has bad graphic? do you have sth invested in this game?
