Am I reading it wrong or can all the Classics (SASO, Sniper Assassin etc) now be done on any difficulty without any distinction? Seems like you can unlock everything in the game on Casual difficulty. Takes a lot of the challenge out right there.

Pretty sure you need to add Hitman 3 to your IOI account for it to show up. But I can't actually get to the site when I click on the link email to test it.
All three games show up in my account. I guess the carry over thing is just still hosed.

random folks on twitter saying they're not planning on shipping till March.

the strange thing to me is the game no longer shows up in search results.

I've seen plenty of product pages without buying links, but never a game disappearing on release day.

Yeah, the Electrocution Phone (and to a lesser extent the Sieker) do trivialize many of the SO challenges in the game. Definitely started the slide into completely OP items with the release of the H2 DLC levels.

I'm guessing the technology to do this is still decades away but can you make the game start without bringing up the launcher like you could on steam? :v:

Might just start the PS5 version and not bother with the progression carryover--I barely did anything in that version of H2 anyway.

Hope they fix their IT issues by tonight. They could have allowed the carryover to happen weeks ago if all we have to do is use a website.

Setting aside the progression transfer, what are disc-based console Hitman 2 owners supposed to do? I think I am supposed to be claiming my transfer pass via the Hitman 2 menu, but there is nothing there. Surely adding a tile for that is not dependent on this website? There’s just nothing there.

I’m worried that I should have just bought the $15 discounted digital hitman 2.

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.
Looks like they changed the carryover site from "your IOI account eventually fails to load" to "just make the API return an empty array while we figure this out."

Progress!

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
Probably everybody knows this by now but

Well, not going to play much more until they fix their website and I have some idea what's happening with Hitman 2 owners, but in the meantime here's a SASO run I did for Dubai.

Yeah same. It's a hell of a view, and the wind effect on your clothes is very nice. But I'll wait until I get my unlocks, and the PS4 version finishes downloading so i can try some VR.

I am very particular about biscuits, I'll have you know.
It might help if people share which platform they are busted on. I think xbox, and ps owners have different issues than the PC gamer gods.

PlayStation for me.

Progress(?): the site isn't accessible again and showing a 502 error.

I got to the "target account" section but then the Epic account wasn't there

edit:

quote:

Figured it out thanks to a comment on reddit.

Log out of IoI’s website.
Go to the login page again, and there will be an option to sign-in with Epic.
Use that option to link the accounts.
That will allow you to link your Epic account on your IOI account.
so this links your epic to your IOI account which you need to do first

Things actually seem to be getting worse, loaded up the PS4 version to try some VR and it can't connect to the Hitman server at all. On the PS5 version earlier I could at least get to the main menu and open the website for the carryover thing.

Oh my god, some of these challenges in Dubai... what? "Eliminate both targets with a single bullet using a sniper rifle." How do you even get them in the same room? :psyduck:

The site recognizes my Hitman 2 profile now, but there's nothing to export to because I haven't logged into Hitman 3 (because that doesn't work)

it's progress at least

so I was able to select my account, start the export... and it failed

it's slowly getting there, I guess

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Usually means there's a specific scripted event to cause it. There were similar things in hitman 2.

All the Americans will be coming online now and trying to play Hitman since the inauguration is over, so probably less likely to get online now than earlier.
