I feel like there has to be a better name for the police-response perk than Hypochondriac.

The increased police response time is an added bonus to the legendary Hypochondriac perk which is the perk that allows you to spawn with a first aid spray. The name for the actual police response time perk is "My Dad's a Cop".

Oh people have been claiming the death of this game since launch.

I'm usually able to jump into games pretty easily through the looking for groups thing on Xbox most weekends if half my friends list isn't already playing.

Weekdays are a different story.

Also glad to see the bots getting some love in this update. I can clear the map 7/7 on normal and hard most days without too much trouble.

Unless Jarvis gets called and then it's "Guess where Tommybot got stuck and hope to murder him" although knocking out the power to his house and trapping the powerbox works pretty well with bots.

She's based on the robot dance girl in part 5 (Violet) who was like 16, and Mitch is based on Chuck from part 3, who was 24.

So Jason is definitely the hero when he fries Mitch.

The unskippable cutscenes are killing it for me. Especially with how drat buggy it can be at times. Like AJ's body flying backwards and Chad noticing her immediately when he entered the house in the second challenge. Then in the 3rd challenge as soon as I started Kenny just BEELINED for me for some reason.

But hey, know what? If they iron out the kinks I'd pay out the rear end for a full game solely devoted to Hitman: Agent 13.

edit: And the ai break your grab almost instantly. Make sure you time snatching them when you're right by an environmental kill or on level ground. (when not going for pre-set kills)

Imagine you're a mediocre Jason. You load in and begin trying to kill the counselors - only to find Burk. Burk isn't running, he's just casually strolling around you as LaChappa explaining to you some good tips to play Jason. Almost lazily, he dodges and jukes every attempt you make to harm or grab him. He is extremely upbeat about the whole thing, pointing out where you can improve in the cloyingly friendly voice that could only be Burk. Other counselors are starting the car and calling the cops while Burk completely shits on your face with LaChappa in the most affable way which you didn't think possible.

You ragequit and fall asleep listening to Evanescence.

The challenge mode id definitely like to see get some refinement, its solid but with a few tweaks could be really really good. The one major thing is that counselors should only try to run off the map when they see YOU, seeing a body should put them into a panic/hiding mode instead of having them sprint to the nearest exit.

The way that every single counselor reacts to everything the same way is kind of disappointing. Certain counselors should try to fight, etc

In the third challenge Kenny always runs to the cabin with the generator right away but he'll sometimes leave through a different door, so depending on where you are, he might run right to you at the beginning.

After you kill the first two counselors, two more are gonna show up. Wait (and pray) for one of them to wander towards the barn. Follow her into the barn, and do the environmental kill when prompted.

oh that's the issue then, every time Jenny headed to the barn for me she just sort of screwed around, never getting that close to any environmental objects, and then left, inevitably seeing me because i was hanging out near the entrance
