gimme the GOD drat candy posted:it's definitely a deliberate troll. his job is trying food and he mostly hangs out in a restaurant with tons of food in it. but the only way to learn in-game that he doesn't eat or drink is a huge waste of time. Idk, I like reading the target descriptions from time to time, IOI seems to put a lot of effort into them for some reason.

no, the waste of time i'm referring to is following him through his very long routine. the briefing doesn't say that he doesn't eat. in fact, it says very clearly that he is in bangkok specifically to do so.

I mean you can stand around listening to him talking to the waiter and his bodyguard, where he says a bunch of stuff about never actually eating the food and always judging it on how it looks.

Maybe it's been changed but his current briefing does straight up say that he manages a strict caloric intake and has never actually eaten at any of the restaurants he has mercilessly reviewed.

For those who want the Codename 47 suit, it's 5 sequential challenges: Chongqing - kill one target with a headshot from a sniper from the neon sign (above laundromat) Santa Fortuna - knock out the Shaman with the Golden idol Bangkok - Drown one target Berlin - Kill 5 agents with explosives, must be done in 1 run Carpathian Mountains - Kill all guards on the train and...something? I haven't run through it yet, the first few seem straightforward, need to check pathing on Berlin to get 5 explosive kills, and figure out what the last one requires

If they want to make it a bit more authentic they should give you a minigun during the train mission.

I don't know what I'm missing or doing wrong, but I've yet to get the "Arrange Suspect Meeting" objective to work/register properly. I knocked out and hid one suspect in the Dartmoor graveyard, then took their burner phone to another part of the map to set it off. The rest of the suspects showed up to the area, got confused and just left and went straight back to their respective routes without interacting or anything...

Nobody seems to know why, IOI hasn't acknowledged it as far as I know (unless it's in today's patch notes), but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's one of the prestige objectives you 100% do not take if you're trying Hardcore, and only as a last resort if you're trying to prestige. Snuffman posted:Remote explosive as they're fleeing the level? That's one of my immediate thoughts. I need to check on propane flasks, I've been doing so much Freelancer that I'm not sure how many there are on that level in vanilla - but probably enough. Edit: There are plenty of propane flasks on the level. Bring some explosives anyway but it isn't a big deal. Shooting Blanks fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Oct 26, 2023 |

The Codename 47 challenges are neat. It's actually kind of fun to be playing something other than Freelancer for a change tbh, lol. Do note though that you need to do them in order though! So that's Chongqing > Santa Fortuna > Bangkok > Berlin > Carpathian Mountains. EDIT: I'm pretty sure you can do the first three on ANY mission that takes place on those maps, including user contracts, so you can more or less just get them done super quick if you like (though the first and third ones are easy enough to do via mission stories anyway). The last two require you to play the normal missions for obvious reasons. Hedgehog Pie fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Oct 27, 2023 |

For the Berlin one, can you use one explosive to kill five dudes at once or does it have to be five separate explosive kills?

I imagine you can probably kill five guys at once and it will count, but I did them one at a time. This was pretty easy; I took two bombs of my own in just for safety, but there's no shortage of explosive things around the map... all those bikes!

Also, a funny thing about the third challenge: I learnt/forgot that if you clean Ken Morgan's penthouse too quickly (ie before he has a chance to get snippy with you), he actually just says that it's "passable" and he never goes to inspect the toilet, haha.

I almost never replay the train mission and it's hilarious to me that just being a walking whirlwind of death killing EVERYBODY gets you a 5 star rating. Anyway, I got the horrible ugly skin, hell yeah!

With the launch of the new ET the Twitch drop suit (Purple Streak) is live. You need to connect your Twitch account to your IO one and then watch an elligible streamer for an hour. Just watch a random person streaming the game at the moment, they'll probably have "DROP" in their title and if you view their chat in your browser you'll get a pop-up there guiding you in the right direction.

This is the first time I've ever encountered the concept of a "Twitch drop" and it seems completely absurd to me, as do most things revolving around Twitch tbh. I acknowledge that I am old (early thirties).

I just don't get it, buf it's one of many things that's passed me by apparently. Obviously people do like it, but I like to do other things on Fridays and Saturdays, and most of those things involve turning everything (physically and mentally) off for a few hours. The leaving things on for a suit in a Hitman video game thing also makes me feel a bit dirty to be honest, given everything. I don't actually care about the suit and was never planning on getting it anyway but now I feel especially negative towards the whole concept.

Hedgehog Pie posted:I just don't get it, buf it's one of many things that's passed me by apparently. What's not to get? IOI gives away a cosmetic to people who watch any Hitman streamer for long enough. This makes people want to get a free cosmetic, so they watch the stream, increasing the viewers for Hitman on Twitch, which is good advertising. It also might get more streamers streaming Hitman since drops will attract viewers, so more people streaming Hitman, more people watching Hitman, maybe more people buying Hitman? It's pretty basic advertising. You can argue if it's particularly effective or not, but the thought process behind it makes sense.
