I will miss the episodic model and will probably wait a few months for the price to fall below 100 dollars but still. GOTY.

The presumably 250 dollar version of the game that comes in a steel briefcase includes, quote, a Rubber Duck and Agent 47's Signature Coin.

I will most likely pay for the 100 dollar version and recant my never-preorder attitude just this once. Season 1 was just so drat good that I have no problem throwing money for arbitrary poo poo at IOI. They're bringing back contracts and elusive targets so I'm guaranteed to play this for like 100 hours

That was all in the last game too but it was 4 40 second cutscenes. I doubt we're gonna see a bunch of Hitman lore.

The story is always the dumbest/least consequential part of any Hitman game. Just beat people to death while dressed like Birdo

I’m pretty sure Agent 47 has learned the Dark Truth About His Past like 3 or 4 times already. It can’t be that much of a shock anymore

This also tripped me up but if you reread it’s someone else’s past he’s learning about this time.

It's a shame because that game could have been really good if it was finished. I'm sure the franchise will be back sooner rather than later but i thought those french frog fucktards did a pretty good job all things considered

i cant wait to play the last mission of hitman 2 when you have to kill the shadow client and theres an unskippable unavoidable cutscene for narrative purposes and i can effectively only do the big kill just one way. i assume all hitman fans agree that this will be loving epic and good

I don't know whose fault it was but the most interesting part of MD was the bob page/illuminati stuff that you see like twice and then never factors into the story again

Hitman 2 will have all the stages from the first game available to play with all the new gear and systems and stuff in the sequel. It's free if you already own the first game otherwise DLC. loving awesome

Does anybody know what all is new? I read that NPCs can see you in mirrors now and they put in the sniper rifle briefcase but otherwise it seems like it's just going to be more of the same. I'm not complaining because Hitmans is loving epic but I hope theres some cool new systems

You can blend into crowds as cover now. Honestly i don't know what else Id even add as a general "system" , i assume there will be a ton of new objects and variables to interact with but as far as straight up game mechanics it feels pretty complete as a stealth game

Just read that they're cutting back on "triggered events" and having a lot more stuff play out during missions in real time regardless of player input, kind of like Blood Money. Even more hype!!
