Escalation a shit.

>>385096935
Nobody hates the game, it's the best Hitman game by far, even fucking /v/ knows it. Only argument against was the "but it's le episodic!!!!".

>>385096935
To be fair the episodic release and lack of features from the older games is a valid criticism.

>>385096997
Also this, it kinda bugs me. The challenges and elusive targets and other gimmicks feel like padding to me and I don't feel the organic exploration I had in Contracts and BM.

>>385096997
Exactly why it's good for autism

>>385097074
Shh, you'll wake the catwalk webm poster.

>>385097074
You spelled Blood Money incorrectly

>>385097074
It was also buggy as fuck and basically didn't work for a 3 months after the release of the first episode.

I honestly never came back to it after this.
I should really play it again, since clearly the bugs have been ironed out now - but you can't deny how fucked it was.

You forgot always online and handholding mechanics that aren't disabled by default.

Aside from those it's good.

That was fun, why'd you take that away I/O?

>>385097074
I completely agree it's alot of fun and takes a good amount of skill, but I've just seen a good amount of hate in /v/ and I don't understand it

What ate the odds we see a season 2 from the new dev?

This bit grinds my fucking gears. Those glorified tutorials should go off by default steaight after the ICA Facility.

>>385097245
Some loud fuckers complained about it on the forum and instead of making a poll where they ask everyone IO just changed it to shut them up and ruin it for everyone else.

I can totally understand your opinion, I guess I did buy it half way thru the first Sean so when I started I was already up too marakesh I bet I'd have some new if I bought day 1

>>385097341
>complained about an extra method of killing targets
Why? I can understand shooting through the window at the heart room since that just makes it way too easy, but shooting through the sauna window isn't that much faster than just holding the door.

>>385097128
It's literally Blood Money on steroids. Way bigger levels, way more possibilities, way more tension.
>>385097146
I bought it for 25 bucks with all the episodes, everything worked fine. Don't know about release
>>385097190
It's no longer online only and nothing stops you from turning EVERYTHING off.
>>385097269
>What ate the odds we see a season 2 from the new dev?
Low, they said the series is on hold because it didn't meet financial expectations.
>I've just seen a good amount of hate in /v/ and I don't understand it
In case you don't know, the better a game is, the more /v/ hates it, and the worse a game is, the more /v/ worships it. Gotta stay contrarian for epic memes in le sikret club.

>>385097269

Nigger what? IO left squenix and took the Hitman rights with them

>>385097497

It is if you want to use unlocks.

I got tired of this game because I played way too much of it. Still forced myself to play through the elusive targets. Thank god they're done, they were a chore.

>>385097497
>>385097269
IO bought themselves and the Hitman IP from Square, it's all they're working on now.

Bought the full experience yesterday and fuck me there's a lot of content.

Have completed the first mission of each of the training missions, been playing around with the escalations and started on the paris mission.

All these options, all these triggers and paths to learn. And the challenges, fuck me.

>>385097587
I wish I did more, I kinda want those fancy suits.

I've had enough

>>385097657
I got them all but I still only use the Absolution suit. It's the best one because of that tie pin.

>>385097665
I still don't know what this webm is trying to prove.

>>385097665
What are you trying to prove with this?

>>385097619
Oh, didn't know that, this is great. If they don't have a big publisher trying to shit out the game faster and spend tens of millions of marketing, maybe they'll spend more money on dev time and we'll have a good product.

But the problem is that HITMAN raised the bar pretty high, it's gonna be hard to top that.

The shills are real. The shills are real

I finally caved and watched how to do the Professional Suit Only challenges on YouTube because I got fed up trying to figure it out

I play with no help, no markers, only the hud icons telling you what you can interact with and holy fuck how would you ever figure shit some of this shit out without the game spood feeding it to you

Stop the fucking press, it's not like that certain concessions have had to be made since the genre first fucking showed up.

And those time limited targets is such a waste of content.
Some of them have some cool mechanics.

Goodbye, santa outfit.

Escalations would be much better if they were 3 levels like some of the few they released instead of fucking 5.

They'll come back ? Rite guys?

Elusive targets are so intense, man. I get nervous as shit and sweat quite a bit.
I don't think any other games has ever caused this effect on me.

Professional difficulty without opportunities and eagle vision is what the game should have been by default.
Instead you have to grind every map on easy difficulty before you even unlock professional, so by the time you reach that you'll be bored out of your mind with this game.

>>385099040
I'm ready for an actual winter map to use my winter suit. I would also like the prologue outfit.
Ski center with the ability to ski would be nice.

>>385097982
looking at the chalenges will provide a lot of hints as to what options are available. i knew that because there's a challenge related to stalactites on sapienza

>>385101276
>Instead you have to grind every map on easy difficulty before you even unlock professional
pro unlocks at level 5 now at least

>>385101276
>Professional difficulty without opportunities and eagle vision is what the game should have been by default.
That shit is harder than Hitman 2, 90% of players wouldn't be ready for that and would just quit and you know it. It is <current year>, after all

>>385101276
They should just incorporate a bunch of Pro's difficulty into the normal mode but make them more lenient. Footsteps need to be back, cameras need to actually be watched live and report any suspicious activity to guards as well as have more of them around.

The relocated and extra NPCs set up to specifically fuck with the player, and camera instantly seeing you instead of having the normal vision meter fill up over time can stay on Pro mode.

>>385100396

You should play better games
