I actually got bored of the Angel's bullshit for a while myself, and went up to that same rooftop to snipe her from there, but then got extra bored of her taking FOREVER to actually show herself in the marketplace. ...so I went back to plan A.2, climbed up onto the roof from the school side with an emetic grenade and mine, and bomb-gassed both the soldiers on the roof that were talking with her (one device for each, given the tiny AOEs), leaving her standing there in confusion as they limped off down the stairs, whereupon I overpowered her and hurled her off the edge of the rooftop. Seemed fitting.

The new Escalation has a very obvious gimmick in hindsight, but it took me quite a few runs to realize what it was. Here's a hint: You don't need to bring anything but a pistol. And here's a Zero Mastery SA/SO walkthrough of The Last Resort on Master difficulty. The timing for these kills was a lot better than I expected, and you can even take Tyson Williams out with a golden opportunity right about the time you get to his villa. There is some reset risk with Vetrova, as it's possible to just miss her and need to start again, but it takes less than 20 seconds to get the kill and it's right at the start so I don't consider that much of a problem.

I think the sniper maps are very boring after ~2-3 tries and I would rather have a single proper new level than 5 more of those, fight me

I like the sniper maps but they're a diversion at best, especially compared to what I could be doing in another new map.

When S1 was out I sniped the Angel in public and then legged it. This time: started as soldier with coins, lethal syringe and a tranq gun. Walked to the pipe, coined away one of the guards, tranqed the other, subdued the coined one, climbed the pipe to the roof. Coined the officer over while I climbed back up the ledge. Dropped back down to subdue the officer, took his clothes, coined the other guard downstairs, injected the Angel while he was gone and stuffed her in the box. Back down the pipe and walked to the exit. Felt better than the  S1 attempt I guess.

Screwed up the Angel of Death ET. I had completely forgotten ET's were a thing (been avoiding the thread for fear of new map spoilers until I get the chance to play it) and opened it up this morning to see I had less than 5 minutes remaining before it would vanish. I didn't want to risk experimenting so I loaded it up and quickly skimmed Mr.Freeze's SA method just to get it done. Got to her on the rooftop with the syringe in hand but was apparently just slow enough that her guards got there first. Probably could have just silently headshotted everyone but stupidly thought since I was already in I could restart the mission and go for that easy SA. Picked restart, got a "Hitman servers are unable to find that contract" popup and was forced back to the main menu. Gone.  Felt worse than if I had just failed the mission. I already have the Marrakesh outfit so it's not really a big deal, but it was a dumb way to interrupt my ET streak.

LMAO I beat the Angel of Death by waiting like 30 minutes and shooting the cafe sign but forgot that soldiers aren't allowed to carry sniper rifles anymore and got pinched for it. Dang it!

I posted up in the alley outside the kitchen door of the club and then opened up on the entire crew with an assault rifle. had to spend a while in a box until people left me alone but i did eventually make it out. Now that I've gotten all the SAs for that one suit I'm just gonna go loud and dumb because its fun.

Its time and resources that went to three sniper maps that 99 percent of players dont care about. Time and resources that couldve gone to making the special assignments more involved than a player made escalation with a tint shift

StrixNebulosa posted:40$ expansion pass that contains only two new maps. Yes, and everyone knew that from the beginning. Look at the date of my post below. December of last year. Megaman's Jockstrap posted:You get two new maps + 2 sniper assassin maps, eventually. The maps are a decent bet to be "very good" as they are churning out great stuff now. It's honestly a bad value but I'm a Hitman stan and I want to support independent IO They were 100% transparent about what you would be getting and for some reason some people are still whining about it almost a year later. It was always going to be a bad value.

Now do the stats for who finished Miami. (it's 20%) Be real careful about assuming anything from those stats. Hitman 2 is a well-known idlers game. Megaman's Jockstrap fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Oct 9, 2019 |

Not trying to argue that the 40$ expansion pass is IO lying to us or anything, just confirming that it's bad value and using that as a counter to "people getting whiny about sniper maps". Of course we're whiny, we bought Hitman 2 to hit mans with bricks and stuff, not play this weird grindy minigame. And I say this as someone who likes the minigame. It's just frustrating because IO poured resources into it when the Bank could have been even more intricate or maybe we could've had another map.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Now do the stats for who finished Miami. Yeah, all of Hitman's stats are screwed up because the base game is technically free to play and you can earn Steam cards by playing it. Hence the spike to 350k concurrent players in November of last year while the game averages about 2k on any given day.

I pre-ordered the gold edition, and will happily pre-order hitman 3 blood of the innocent edition as well. But I am disappointed that Sniper maps are called "locations". In a perfect world they would be mobile apps that I'd happily pay a couple bucks for an hour of entertainment from. I'd trade them all in for a more polished New York though. I don't feel duped, cheated or anything by them. They are an interesting idea that feels out of place the way they are implemented.
