They also updated them a bit last go around. Like bushes that can be used to hide were introduced in Hitman 2, but some got added to the Hitman 1 dlc levels.

I'm very dumb, so I read it as "we don't want Hitman 2, we want the Hitman 2 DLC!" featuring New York, Haven, and such quality missions as The Poacher in the Jungle and The Magician in Mumbai.

Oh by the way this is a quote directly from the Dartmoor reveal page on their website:quote:With that in mind, we are pleased to confirm that PC players will be able to carryover their current progression and unlocks from HITMAN 2 on Steam into HITMAN 3 on Epic Games Store. It will also be possible for PC players to import locations from the previous two games into HITMAN 3 on Epic Games Store. We want to make it a seamless process for our PC players to enjoy HITMAN 3 on a different PC platform and continue to enjoy the benefits of our World of Assassination.

Zaphod42 posted:But can't a developer get keys for the game they make? On Steam a developer can generate keys and do giveaways, right? I could be wrong about that but I feel like its true. Depends on the platform. Valve's policy is that as long as they have no reason to detect fraud, you can basically make as many Steam keys as you want for free. Epic's policy I have never worked with and I can't find any info, but my Google-fu can be weak. The thing to always remember when you're dealing with the EGS is that the platform is held together by scotch tape and dreams. This is a launcher that only ever did preloads for one game and that's because the devs crunched to add it in for Epic. If things are this bad on the consumer-facing side I guarantee the client side is an even bigger mess.

Ya idk if it’s ever happened for other games before this, but not being able to load my one computer game into another computer game because the launchers are different is insanely dumb. Exclusivity is one thing, I’d rather everything would just come on Steam but if Epic wants to throw Forkknife money at devs I can put up with it, but this feels an entire level of sleazy.

Assuming you don't care about the Epic launcher and don't plan on double-dipping if/when it ends up on Steam, nothing.

Not much, I’m not a big fan of managing games across multiple services, but that appeal to convenience has its own negatives. If we wanna get all morally and poo poo some people don’t like supporting the practice of encouraging exclusivity on PC platforms. I honestly think they lost my purchase more out of spite for lying than that I care so much about playing the Hitman 2 levels in 3. Although, it WILL take Hitman 1 levels. So one small negative is that if disk space matters to you, you’ll then have two games with the Hitman 1 locations, all in 1 would seem to be smaller. (A more technically inclined goon may point out some error in this train of thought)

I've been trying to get all the challenges and escalations done that unlock items so while I was doing the Shinobi set and the Art of Revenge set, I had a very silly idea for a contract. Two contracts actually, that are mostly the same except one requires some unlocks and the other does not. Knight of the Weeb Table - Isle of Sgail Kill 5 elite guards in the penthouse as the Knight, using various forms of Japanese weaponry. No Unlocks version: 1-21-4694915-76 Version that requires Hokkaido Mastery 7 & the Shinobi challenges from Hawke's Bay: 1-21-7936149-76 this game needs to come out already edit: i don't remember if contracts are cross platform or not, but these were made on pc csm141 fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Jan 16, 2021 |

Have they mentioned anything about elusive targets? If the only timed exclusives are three monochrome suits I'll never use I will probably wait a little bit until they've sorted out this...everything.

Hedgehog Pie posted:Oooh, I think I get it now! Hitman 2 as DLC for Hitman 3, not Hitman 2 as a game all on its own, with or without its own DLC. Very confusing. Yeah, you got it. Sorry for the confusion. I mean we don't need "Hitman 2 the game" on EGS. We just need "Hitman 2 game content for Hitman 3" on EGS, which WILL be on EGS in 4 days. We just don't get permission for it without buying it, which shouldn't be the case.

Brazilianpeanutwar posted:At this point i’ve played 1 and 2 levels more than i care to remember so it’ll be a long time before i go back to them. In theory we could get some new gadgets in 3 that would make things different and fun to replay old levels with them. I also haven't 100% everything in the old levels and like dipping my toes back in for variety. I just really like the feeling of having a single one-stop-shop for Hitman with a tooon of available content to hop into. Also bodes well for contracts and the like. (And some far-off dream of getting VR on PC and playing the old levels in VR. Or on PS4 with VR then that's a reason why H1 and H2 being imported matters a LOT) But at the end of the day it isn't game-ruining, and having the ability to import games is even a nice feature they didn't have to promise at all. Other game companies just leave content stranded or charge money for a map pack to bring old maps into a new game. Thing is, they went and told us that would be a thing. Pulling the rug out 5 days before release... is a very bad feeling. They needed to communicate this sooner. And if they really, really just found out now for some reason, then they straight up need to go out and say "we're sorry, this loving sucks, we hosed up". If they did that I'd honestly feel better about it.

GMG is giving 10% off Hitman 3, which I guess you can use to rebuy H2 so there's that. Here are 5 codes for it: #X84485-DAFAKN-LCDVPQ #X84485-11UQNS-CHVQFY #X84485-AOSA36-4WCWK2 #X84485-19JI24-ECJ84Z #X84485-04Q1VL-OETU38 When those are gone, AGENT8 is 8% off and it's reusable.

These games are very deep and intensely replayable. I think lots of people just don't realize what the fun of the series even is. Saw a reddit post that was like "bought this on sale expecting an okay james bond call of duty, instead I found an amazing chess game and now I love it"

If you’re just starting with 3, then just wait for 3 to come out, install and launch it, and use the in-game store to buy the access packs for 1 and 2. That will almost certainly be cheaper than getting 1 and 2 beforehand unless they suddenly go on sale in the next five days. vvv Well never mind then!

Buy Hitman 1 base, and Hitman 2 Gold and you can get the full Access Passes for both of them in 3. Both of these are on sale until 3 releases for less than $20 each if you have PlayStation Plus.

PSN has 1 complete on sale for $12 and 2 for $15 or 2 complete for $20. I doubt the add ons are cheaper than that. I think the sale ends the day H3 comes out Amazon also has physical 3 on sale now for $50

MorningMoon posted:I am a bit concerned that the review embargo is still up 3 days before launch? It’s not an entirely new game, it just builds on Hitman and Hitman 2. You could worry about performance issues at launch (even though it’s clearly not a super high-end game), but it’s unlikely that the gameplay is going to stray from the previous games and take an absolute nosedive. On the other hand, the pre-order bonus is just some boring cosmetics so you are not missing out by waiting until the reviews start coming in. It’s not like we’re going from Blood Money in 2006 to Absolution in 2012
