Zombra
An iron rock in the river of blood and evil
Remind me, is this game still tied to online only foolishness? Or am I remembering that wrong?
Also, this new mission apparently takes place in an all hostile environment, meaning your default suit is useless unless you plan to LARP Sam Fisher.
I can't say that makes me terribly excited. It's like a throwback to Absolution, though for all I know the level design could be really good. With Bangkok being such a downer, I'm starting to suspect this game is heavily front loaded, though.
Out of the existing 5 proper missions, two (Paris and Marrakesh) have been good, while one (Bangkok) has been bad and one (Italy) excellent. If this fifth one turns out to be a dud the game is mediocre. They'd better include some prime sniper spots and creative opportunities to outweigh the fact that this new level doesn't play to the strength of the Hitman series, which, imho, is 'the player infiltrates civilian areas where he can blend in rather than sneak around' and not 'the player controls some stealthy NSA agent who's inexplicably wearing a suit and tie'.
Well, the first three games did have plenty of missions where you had to infiltrate a military base or some other hostile location. Those probably weren't everyone's favorite missions, but Blood Money is really the only game in the series which doesn't have that kind of stuff.They'd better include some prime sniper spots and creative opportunities to outweigh the fact that this new level doesn't play to the strength of the Hitman series, which, imho, is 'the player infiltrates civilian areas where he can blend in rather than sneak around' and not 'the player controls some stealthy NSA agent who's inexplicably wearing a suit and tie'.
Just got the game and I agree with SoupNazi it is great fun. The AI is really fun to play around with. When I first tried it back when the first demo episode was released it ran like shit, but run fairly well now. Anyway, got a question. Those elusive shadows. Are those hits permanently removed content from a singleplayer game? I don't get it. Seems I missed out on a lot because I got the game late.
Coming October 31st.
