So I've added Hitman 1 to my IOI account by downloading just the Paris chunk and running that. Does anyone see the GotY versions in their IOI account or is this all we can see at this point? I assume the old DLC stuff is getting carried over to HM3.

It'd be IOI doing it, with steam users, opting in, through steam. There's nothing even remotely controversial about that and its how the IOI system linkup ALREADY works.

The typical ingredients for bad challenges, in my eyes, are: - Being forced to kill a large number of people. I know some people like doing this but it's not for me, even if I have done it before out of boredom. Bonus points if you have to kill an exact number of people. - Having to drag bodies for ages and ages, usually past multiple guards that you then need to kill too. The physics on dragging bodies have greatly improved since the Blood Money days, but when you start having to drag them longer distances (or even worse, precisely place them on something) the flaws become very obvious. - Waiting around for things to happen or for a window to open. Like Discendo said, this seems to affect H2 maps the worst because they tend to have more empty space (to disguise loading?). - REDACTED descriptions that 20 years ago would have been obvious strategy guide bait, but now you can just look it up on the Internet so what's the point? Being amongst the first to discover them can't be that great as most of them are just obscure in-jokes/references. - Things that were obviously not thought through properly given the mechanics of the game. Examples include the aforementioned ocean body dumping in Sgail (thankfully removed), flinging Sister Yulduz onto the Bangkok penthouse canopy (apparently easier in 2016 before they changed the physics, but the challenge itself wasn't changed for the legacy version), and posing as a knight on all the plinths in Sgail, which inevitably has you killing tons of people but then being unable to blend due to being "too suspicious". Honourable mention goes to costume gimmicks, even if they can be kind of goofy and fun. I've still done most if not all of them.  Maybe I'll do a list of the worst ones.

Hey, all I did was post some thoughts on how it felt like things should be clearer on transfering progress over to HM3. Of course, I spend about a year away from the thread and immediately step into a Zaphod slap fight. I wonder if they're like this in real life

Maybe they'll make it like when the Arkham games all got replaced in Steam with GOTY editions, and when you loaded up the game for the first time you'd suddenly get a flood of achievements unlocking. I mean, I'll be waiting for the Steam version anyway rather than deal with another game client (plus I'll be playing most of the Yakuza games for months) so hopefully they'll patch out any lovely achievements that suck to do in the meantime.

There’s an IMHO quite plausible theory that it was originally meant to be Hong Kong but then the protests happened and IOI changed it to avoid potentially getting their game banned in China.

drat, they really downgraded the graphics for the VR version. Though I guess that's unavoidable when you have to keep a 60FPS fixed frame rate on a PS4

Anyone serious about PSVR doesn't want anything to do with a Move controller. Its just too jank. Controller is the right move for consistent gameplay. And its not like anybody who owns PSVR doesn't have a PS4 controller. ymgve posted:drat, they really downgraded the graphics for the VR version.

In theory PCVR could handle the normal graphics in VR with a good enough rig.... just gotta hope they port the VR support over!

Do I have to make an account to actually play any of this loving poo poo? I bought Hitmans 1 and 2 but literally none of the levels are accessible, it sends me to the store page, but I already bought it so... I can't buy it. E: Quit the game and Steam is doing a 32 GB download, I'm assuming this is unlocking the levels. What a pain in the rear end, I've basically had to install this game three times and I still can't play it. Grand Fromage fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Jan 8, 2021 |

I'm seeing a bunch of lovely preview videos by people I've never heard of who don't seem to have any past Hitman content or any meaningful connection to the Hitman community. Is this Epic sending stuff out as a marketing blitz or something? It's kind of annoying, especially since these people are almost universally terrible at playing the game correctly.

I mean RTGame is chaotic energy distilled so him just going hogwild with it is fine. You shouldn't watch his Cities:Skylines for a proper look at the game either. I won't watch his HM3 video's until I have played it myself because he is very far from a "serious gamer".

IGN has a writeup too https://www.ign.com/articles/hitman-3-the-final-preview quote:It’s a tense spot. Here I was, face-to-face with my target. I could’ve easily stabbed him, snapped his neck, or shot him, but killing him in full view of several guards and his housekeeping staff would’ve set off a hornet’s nest of trouble. And so I waited. But then our meeting ended and I was asked to leave! Should I cause chaos now or wait to see what happens? AAAH! I opted for the latter and ended up needing to come back later with a new plan: acquire an elite guard uniform to get access to the penthouse, and then in classic Hitman fashion, poison his whisky and wait. He at least understands how you're supposed to play the game. Doesn't really say anything we didn't already expect though.

orcane posted:The game uses a dumb online-only profile system for all your unlocks and progression. If you can't connect you can play the maps but won't get XP/challenge credit for your unlocks. I think you can't even use any of the unlocked things like starting locations and smuggled items because while offline the game doesn't know you have them (if you unlocked them while online that is). lol. I haven't had a game with this much technical bullshit in the way in years. Wonder if I can still refund it, it looks fun on streams but I'm tired of fighting with it to let me play. Wouldn't have gotten it if I'd known it was one of these bullshit games that requires you to connect to some janky-rear end constantly disconnecting server to play single player.
