Absolution would be my top pick if it had better AI... or any at all. I love everything about the game but when the AI starts acting up I just get annoyed. Oh and why QTE's? You can't say it's a console thing because your precious Witcher 2 is full of them (with a combat system defined specifically for controllers to boot).

The reason I like the game is because it is an actual experience, not a loosely-connected series of arcade sandboxes.


They pretty much improved the scope of the game from Blood Money in every way, but then managed to make a system that is buggier than BM's.



Of course I played the Hitman series years before BM came out so I have no psychological need to hold that game to any specific height. It's an ultimately easy and pointless game that's charm lies in giving off an illusion of skill and purpose, just like Dark Souls does (exactly like Dark Souls actually).

Why is this man not probated.

I never have the patience to do the Opportunity kills like where you set up chandeliers to fall on people or poisoning drinks or w/e. I strictly murder with guns, and hell I have a good time doing it.

I just played the Sapienza bonus level and it kind of sucks lol. The gimmick kills are funny but there are like two disguises and most of the level is blocked off. Can't complain for free but I hope Marrakesh and the new one are better

Does the new episodic Hitman contain gameplay where you can abandon the mission and just see how big and creative piles of the dead you can make like with previous Hitmon?

Yes you can. Hell, you can go ahead and add the Targets to the pile too and complete the mission anyways.

gonna play this in a little bit. seeing in training already at max mastery on paris when i've logged 30+ hours and am only at like 3-4ish on every level makes me feel like a noob. time to take my time and do some cool challenges + escalations. anyone have any escalations in mind that are especially cool ?

last night i was playing bangkok without a plan and somehow ended up stabbing the rock star in the head with a samurai sword in his recording booth

that guy is by far the easiest target to kill silently. i just murdered him in his booth and even tho it took me like an hour to kill the other dude sneakily i still got Silent Assassin. No one ever bothered to go see why Jordan stopped talking mid sentence and then was silent in the booth for an hour

you can unlock a challenge and then roll back a save to do a different one, so like you could get drown, headshot, garotte all in a row. thats lame. even with saving, i only do full runs

i figured this out on accident because i was trying to get mastery level 7 for the ninja so i got a list of challenges to do. but i ended up being 1000 points short anyway so i reloaded a save to do a different kill where i was right by the exit for the last bit of points and it gave me like, 4 other challenges that i didnt even do in that 'Timeline' so to speak. it was confusing

I did this and then once I completed it I used the exact same route to do a SOSA run, also the ninja assassin disguise has a really specific ledge that you can climb only when you're wearing it.

thats fuckin sick. is it something i can figure out on my own? if its really esoteric (proper word to use here? maybe) then give me a hint
