Holy god. And that was the all-time peak. Steam trading cards made the game more popular than the actual game. I have no idea what to think of that.

Nice Van My Man posted:Ever since the last patch every time I go to the save screen the game hard locks. Googling around it seems people have had similar problems, but not as bad as mine is now. This really sucks. I tried verifying game integrity but that did nothing. I got that problem too, currently working around it by clearing up some outstanding escalations/contracts as they don't use saving at all haha

I have some articles somewhere on the theories of markets Valve operates under. The short version is that, unbenknownst to seemingly everyone, Gabe Newell apparently is the third Koch brother. Under the surface, Steam is a libertarian economic manipulation hellscape. Yanis Varoufakis helped make it too.

Lester Shy posted:Since they just released Hitman 2 trading cards yesterday and the game is "free," a lot of people are idling to earn their free 15 cents in card profit. Oh god, since the cards are awarded retroactively nowadays it means that vast majority of those people never played more than like 5 hours.

SelenicMartian posted:Then some speed sneaking in the attic, literally racing a thief around two enforcers for a bust, then the sabre, then the mike, then the cowboy bust. You don't even need to race them, just knock them out and then take your time gathering items/santa suit, because if they grab even one item that challenge is failed and you have to restart. Get guards to wake them when needed From the start as AV crew grab the remote and knife, then run to the bandit on the same floor, he'll be all alone in a room with vacuum cleaner, knock him out there(switch on the vacuum when needed to wake him) Then go back to starting position, take the stair there to basement, grab coconut and apricot, knock out the second bandit in the stairwell next to kitchen when he tries to go to the ground floor.(open kitchen door and throw coin so cooks investigate when you need him found). Could grab bricks from basement security and knock him out 3 times in the same stairwell for the challenge. Also after the wine tasting room they go outside to the fountain you see on the screenshot in challenge, and two propane tanks are already there, but I grabbed two basement ones and two from ground floor kitchen, 6 tank explosion is far better.

Lollerich posted:How do you propose I do that as SASO on Master? Bring meat (or steal it in the village), because the meat isn't next to the hippo anymore on Master. Sneak in through the back (cross the river on the big trunk that you have to shoot loose at the construction site, sneak past the two guards in the tunnel or go to their right into the ruins for a little bit) and go to the area with the hippo. There is one guard and an animal specialist there. Wait until the animal specialist goes to look something up on the internet, take out the lone guard. Throw in the meat and wait for animal guy to get Delgado, wait for animal guy to leave, casually stroll up and push Delgado in or Snipe him for Sniper Assassin. For the camera's, the recording device in the small compound in the village is quite easy to take out, jump over the wall on the side, go up the stairs and onto the balcony, wait until you have a shot, open the door and shoot the recording device.

Santa Fortuna SASO Master is probably the trickiest one in my opinion, all due to the mansion target. For me, it involved a lot of coining of guards and methodically moving through each target. You can take out the girl quickly and easily in her hideout, just lure out everyone on the 2nd floor to the outside patio and knock them out, before finally dealing with her. No one goes there on their routes so you can just leave them there. You can also take out the camera system from that room so you don't have to worry about those for the rest of the mission. Then make your way to the drug lab dude and hide in the radio cabin until he goes there on his route. He's alone in the building so it's easy to kill him and hide him in the box there. Then I used the gate that connects from the cocoa fields to the mansion. Basically I snuck along the perimeter of the mansion, took out the patroling guard and the maid near the jacuzzi, and climbed the connecting pipe to the bathroom of the target's office. From there you just coin the guard in the main office, subdue, drag him into the bathroom, and do the same for the 2-3 guards in the hallway outside the office. Once everything is clear, you can just wait in the office for the target to make his way there eventually and easily take him out. Retrace your steps, take the helicopter exit, and done. Definitely not easy given how many people you have to deal with on the way.

I'm glad you figured it out and got it done and presumably had fun but the hippo opportunity is pretty simple to kill Rico with.
