Best thing about Batman is that he DOES NOT KILL. Except when he's flying down the street in his tank and smashes into a criminal at 200mph hour, said criminal is also electrocuted upon contact with the tank.

I recently managed to find a copy of the original Conkers Bad Fur Day and i was pretty excited to play it! I loved playing the multiplayer on the Xbox re-release but i was always a little bummed that what we had wasen't exactly the same (a lot of the swearing was censored, some areas where removed/made less annoying to deal with) and while i can appreciate the humor more now i feel as though the Xbox version got the gameplay better, the camera is a mess and it's not always obvoius what you're meant to do. The answer is usually do the same thing 3 times and wear the joke we're telling thin. All of that aside, i can see why people fondly remember the multiplayer, not all of the modes are particularly balanced but drat if isn't fun to beat your friend about the head with a baseball bat and then steal a big bag of money. Or to eat somebody as a Raptor. Or even to try and make a death run up a beach.

Chard posted:I've been playing Ground Zeroes again to finish up before Phantom Pain comes out, and the lethal-headshot sound effect(s) are absolutely devastating. It's like this multipart bone crunch that makes me a little ill even though I know it's just pixelmans. Just another reason to harmlessly CQC people into restful slumber I must have a glitch on my save or something because every time I grab enemies their neck gets ventilated. That is something I liked about GZ. If you knock out a soldier on it and take your sweat time on the mission he is eventually going to wake up and call it in. Before GZ the series had a bit of an issue with non-lethal having too little downside. But with an open environment without loading screens stopping guards from waking there is now a good reason to go for the kill instead.

I got maybe five minutes into the first mission before I switched from stealthy avoidance to knocking out every guard and throwing them off a cliff, into the ocean. Some of them landed on a rock at the bottom of the cliff instead, but good enough.

A few pages back:CJacobs posted:Absolution is a good game but it's way far and apart different in style, narrative, and even gameplay than the other Hitman games. The levels for example are a lot more linear and focus on traveling through the level to get to an end goal instead of letting you freely roam around the level and set things up to your liking. It's not worse or better for that, just different. I liked it and I do think it's worth a playthrough if you can find it cheap. Blood Money is probably the "best" Hitman game though. The levels are more than just linear, they're literally choreographed. It's obvious if you attempt a "perfect" run (never spotted, no collateral damage, no disguises, fiber wire only, conceal all corpses): almost every level can be done in an incredibly elegant, uninterrupted sequence with a perfect score. I'm not criticizing, I love that. No, I haven't played any other Hitman games Another thing I love is how relentlessly the entire game shits on Lenny. Not just the other characters, but the game itself too. Like how when you finally meet him, he's coded as a civilian instead of a guard, so if poo poo goes down at the barber shop, he cringes and cowers, utterly defenseless, while literally everyone else draws a gun and shoots at you Also, did you ever read the shooting gallery scoreboard at the gun store? guess who has the worst score? guess who got "limp balls" written next to his name?

Nothing in Arkham Knight is going to top the thugs (and the Joker!) ripping on Lost in Arkham City. I did like the guy saying he preferred the look of Batman's old car, though.

No, the good Hitman games expressly avoid this 'one route' thing, instead giving you a sandbox where you can pretty much do your thing, with varying levels of success. Blood Money has some levels where there are many ways to do Silent Assassin runs, depending on how you want to do it. For example, off the top of my head, in the Opera level you can shoot the guy with the rifle at the same time as the gunshot, switch the guns, kill him in his changing room, or take the spot of the shooting actor, and I'm sure there are a couple more ways to do it, too.

I like the excuse people made to defend Absolution that the first two Hitman games were linear too, and yeah they were and that's why they sucked and Contracts and Blood Money were huge improvements.

The King of Chinatown in Absolution is probably the most open-ended mission in the series, with a achievement for completing the mission in something like 9 different ways. The level design is all over the place throughout the series, with some really lovely, linear and combat-heavy maps, and some open-ended cool ones. What most of the Hitman games do badly is higher difficulties imo, where adding more enemies basically just locks you out of nearly all but one approach if you want to do stealth, making the games much more linear if you raise the difficulty. Absolution has some cool levels, but if you go beyond Normal difficulty the added enemies locks you out of most stealthy approaches. My one favourite little thing about Absolution is the level editor, which is simple & intuitive to use, basically being a free-roam of any level, where you play however you want and the game records up to three eliminations, what disguises you've worn and which weapons or items you killed the targets with. People playing your map then try to recreate what you did, or do it more effectively, like non-lethally, or without wearing a disguise and still not getting seen. My second little favourite thing about Absolution is the insight into the gamer psyche you get if you go online and and check out the most popular user-made levels, which always take place in the strip club level and have you run in and kill the big boob strippers with a fireman's axe.

Absolution's story mode is kinda bleh, but the Contracts mode makes it well worth it. If they'd just flipped the prominence of the two modes it'd be Blood Money 2.

It is a shame that the Contracts mode in Absolution was so limited in recognizing what you used. Detonated a remote explosive OR shot a hole into a fuel canister? They both will just count as explosive. Revolver A or pistol B? The game doesn't differentiate between them. So you can't do a contract where you need to take down a high profile target with an unique weapon before you can get to your real target. I imagine that's something they changed in the upcoming game though.

Honestly it'd be best if there was some way to procedurally generate Contracts missions in the new game instead of just using the single-player levels. Some of them are good for it in Absolution but a fair few kinda aren't. Pretty much give me Warframe but with realistic-ish, open buildings instead of dungeons, Hitman gameplay, and no direct multiplayer.

Then the level ends, and right at the start of the cutscene, 47 stretches his tired arm (just a coincidence of course) and I just about died laughing

The reason they were able to pull this off was by making the large crowds have only basic AI functions, they could move around and such but would not react to anything, you could fire a gun infront of the crowds and nobody would react any differently, the other NPC's around the stage however would react, as they weren't part of the crowds.
