HITMAN, the new episodic Hitman - GOTY Edition

[Vibalist]

I have to admit that this is pretty good (yeah, I caved in and bought it). The level is very large and detailed with tons of stuff to do. The only complaint I have (aside from strange audio issues) is how the world reacts to your actions:

Spoiler

I went into a lab and destroyed an expensive, cutting edge virus (one of the main objectives) which is basically a disaster for the villains, and no one in the rest of the level reacted because I did it 'covertly' (I lit it on fire while three people stood right next to it).

These levels are so big that the AI can't really keep up or manage all the things going on in them. Causing ruckus in one end of the level does nothing to alert the rest of the level, even when it should realistically do so. Paris had this issue too, where you would sometimes gun down people out in the open and people elsewhere would just go on as usual.

Meh. Much as I like the older hitman games, I'll still get this for $1 in a bundle 3 years from now. The only Hitman the world needs right now is one that will murder whoever thought episodic release was a good thing

 

[SwiftCrack]

I agree it is a shit model, but they seem to listen to the community and improve the next episode based on feedback, which is what they stated as their main proost when going for this model.

Again, still shit, but at least they listen and believe.

Game is awesome, episodic is awesome. Fuck the haters.

Another crybaby. Game is excellent fun. Hope there aren't too many dumbfuks like you out there pretending to be fans and not supporting the game. What a chump.

 

[Ulminati]

Both tags well earned.

 

[SwiftCrack]

Game is fun though.

Du skal flette fissen pomfrit, inden jeg knepper din mor, og voldtager din kat.

And I don't have the other tag.

umad, breh.

Nååårh, lille bøssejyde forsøger at virke stor igen. Vær du hellere bekymret om hvornår Mujaffa kommer og ta'r din mødom ude i roemarken. Er det ikke ved at være på tide du får endnu et tudeflip og får dig selv losset ud herfra og tilbage til rpgwatch hvor du hører til?

Just did Sapienza once. I think I barely covered 1/3rd of the map doing it.

I wonder if it's possible to do a Silent Assassin run with a sniper rifle. The dead bodies always seem to get discovered before you can get to them and hide them.

ALSO, I'd love to see if it's possible to do a SA suit only run in Sapienza. At a glance it would seem impossible, but who knows!

I love how the target's bodyguard runs around panicked looking for his VIP saying "shit, my first day and i lost my VIP, there goes my job as a bodyguard if i don't find him"

I'm doing a suit only SA sniper run... I guess it's kind of impossible to hide the bodies... but so far I'm on the last part with the virus.. so.. shit is really challenging.. I love it.

 

[SwiftCrack]

Isn't there a challenge for Sapienza too for a suit run?

Killing the targets should be 100% possible in a suit run, getting to the virus not so much.

 

[Vibalist]

That's what I mean. I can't see how you could possibly

Spoiler

enter the contagious area without a doctor/hazmat suit

which is why I'm wondering if the entire mission can be done suit only. I'm sort of hoping there's a convoluted way of doing it. :D

 

[SwiftCrack]

I do know that there is

Spoiler

a terminal in the research compound that you can use to remotely mess with the virus, but you need an USB dongle (like in the Paris mission to mess with the auction computer)

That's probably the key if you need to have the suit on for the virus part for the challenge.

 

[Daedalos]

Completed the Suit only Sniper only SA only mission now. Damn that was TIGHT

Felt like a real fucking assassin. This episode is truly great. Blood Money great.

 

[Vibalist]

I'm looking forward to trying that. I can't even imagine how you'd do it. You actually gained the suit only/SA achievement upon completing the mission?

 

[Daedalos]

Yes.

Another thing I like about this update is that they added an intel button to the menu, where all the little clues you pick up are stored. Now it's totally possible to switch off all the help and still play the levels like they're supposed to be played because you don't have to rely on tracking and minimaps, you can just go through your collected intelligence and piece things together.

That sounds cool; I assume it applies to the whole game, not just the second episode?

Sounds more than ever like waiting for the whole game is a good idea if all new basic features are being added over time.

54 bucks... always-online... episodic... yeah, this is a future sale material. After servers go down and they're forced to put in an offline mode. Or someone cracks the full version so it can be played offline.

There are games that I regretted buying, because the pirates got a better experience. For example, several Ubisoft games. Not making that mistake again.

 

[Daedalos]

Steam is never down. An hitman has never been down ONCE, since it's release.

Problem, bro?

Yeah, I think so. The Paris level gets them as well. I don't know about the training levels since I haven't played them recently, but I'd assume so.
