[QUOTE=Dr Bob;38737810]I didn't pay a penny for it, and I still don't think it's worth it. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Warez" - MaxOfS2D))[/highlight][/QUOTE] Why was he banned for warez when he has the game on his Steam account? Saying you got something for free doesn't necessarily mean you pirated it? Anyways, I'm certainly going to have to come back to this game again sometime when I'm done with other things, I want to do a Purist run eventually.

Yeah, he never said he pirated it, somebody gifted it to him. He deserves an apology, even if he is a dick.

Welp. I just bought it from GameStop because of the deal, turns out I had some store credit so I only paid $7 for the game.

Maybe i am late, but anyone know how to get SHADOW rank on "Run for your life" mission? I mean seriously that 3rd evidence is impossible to get without being spotted.

i finished it overall i'd say i'm pretty disappointed ok it has incredible gfx however there's just too much wrong with it level design is poor... whats the point of having a level thats like half a warehouse with a dozen ICA troopers? the disguise system is retarded and its funny in bad ways... ie. i used it on some levels to lure the bad guys one by one into a store room and Q subdued them one by one other times you get swamped and it turns into a gun battle which is surprisingly fun but isnt hitman there are some glimpses of that Blood Money brilliance but overall... its not even close to being the awesome that is killing Vinnie Sinistra... and his wife... and the clown... and giving the FBI poisoned donuts... and...

Heck, even in Blood Money are you able to make guards come to you one by one and fuck them up iirc. And gun battles can happen in every game there is if your cover gets blow and a lot of noise gets made. Agreed on the level design. Some parts are incredibly linear, and places like the warehouse mentioned felt like a timed puzzle you have to pass.

[QUOTE=TonyJZX;38752153]other times you get swamped and it turns into a gun battle which is surprisingly fun [B]but isnt hitman[/B][/QUOTE] you know that Hitman is more about choice than stealth, right? I mean, stealth rewards you more, but it's never been out of the question to just shoot people when you feel like it, and the rewards for stealth in Absolution are exactly the same as the ones in Contracts and Blood Money i.e. a higher rating.

[QUOTE=Cone;38753198] exactly the same as the ones in Contracts and Blood Money i.e. a higher rating.[/QUOTE] Hitman 2, too. You could go from Mass Murderer to Silent Assassin, depending on how you passed the level.

the only thing wrong with this game is the crappy level design sometimes, for a hitman game at least. the best thing they could do to remedy this problem, as said before, would be to release more maps. also has anyone seen the zero punc review of this game? yahtzee actually makes a good point that contracts would have been better if you had more control (really any control considering all you can do is mark exits and targets) over what you can manipulate in the game world.

trying this on expert, i feel like i'll quit real quick

Good thing Absolution doesn't have tactical rolling Pr0 xMLGx German guards. I wouldn't be able to handle it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk2Kq5OATY0&feature=youtu.be[/media]

Probably better off buying a 1911 if you want to actually use it.

m1911... also compared to the m1911 the AMT hardballer isn't all that great. iirc the hardballer is what put AMT out of business? the only reason why hitman uses the hardballer is because it's a unique gun. and just like the mateba, desert eagle, even the dirty harry classic .44 magnum... they're all like normal guns except they're somewhat of a rarity. it's sort of a rule of cool. the guns have to be distinguished in a way. this also goes for the w2000. which again, iirc, isn't that great of a gun.

Although it may not have the best reputation it's a damn nice gun it's good to shoot so I'm not worried about anything.

[QUOTE=Kfacat;38769589]Although it may not have the best reputation it's a damn nice gun it's good to shoot so I'm not worried about anything.[/QUOTE] Make sure to order some Pachmayr American Legend grips for it. That is if you want it to more like the gun from the game.

Nah those look like shit

uh yeah, pretty much every .45 acp would be fun to shoot. lol

[editline]9th December 2012[/editline] Also i thought the WA 2000 was extremely accurate, its just a bitch to mantain.

i'm willing to bet his pistols are so heavily modified the only reason why you'd call them hardballers is because that's what the gun was called when it came off the production line [editline]10th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=AaronM202;38770565] Also i thought the WA 2000 was extremely accurate, its just a bitch to mantain.[/QUOTE] there's just something about it that makes it a seriously impractical weapon for combat.

Also, for his profession, it seems like it would suit him well. High precision and whatnot.

IIRC there were only like 200 WA's made anyways.

around 170 produced, and some asshole owns 13 of them. the rest are collecting dust in the basement of wherever police forces stow unused guns

Has anyone been able to extract sounds from the game yet? If someone could extract and post a link to the "objective completed/new objective" barcode animation stuff's sound, that'd be awesome.

You could probably just record those with Audacity or something.

Problem is, some kind of ambient music always stars when that comes up

Can't you lower the music volume to 0 in the options?
