Hitman series Megathread - "Names are for friends, so i don't need one" - Games

I gotta stop watching videos, the wait is killing me now.

i'm just glad it's coming out when it is. i mean would you rather it come out now when there's no time to play? or would you rather it come out thanksgiving break? well given you're american.

[QUOTE=peterson;38385382]I played the co-op of Kane and Lynch 1 and loved it, so there is no denying I completely hate it. Played 2 awhile back and thought it was pretty crap.[/QUOTE] 2 Had decent multiplayer

Anyone who preorders Hitman gets the Hitman Collection for free now

Is that steam only? Damn. [editline]9th November 2012[/editline] Ach, I already have two out of the three games there anyway, its not that bad then.

[QUOTE=warmarine;38386129]Anyone who preorders Hitman gets the Hitman Collection for free now[/QUOTE] I JUST discovered this to my absolute delight after I got off another session of the Sniper challenge. I decided to wait for my new comp before playing Absolution since the game would run much smoother. I then thought to myself that I'd be annoyed for the net month not being able to play an awesome Hitman game. It's like they answered my prayer with this sudden gift.

anybody here who could help me win hitman on playblink? i've would have pre ordered it but i can afford it right now all you have to do is to find my screenshot and up vote it

10 more days.

So i just realized I have Hitman: codename 47 and Hitman 2 despite ever buying them. I'm guessing that's a new preorder incentive or am I just dumb?

Gotta give them credit for turning their marketing around so drastically

[QUOTE=seroyal223;38391938]Gotta give them credit for turning their marketing around so drastically[/QUOTE] I don't understand this notion. How do people think you market a game like Hitman? You can't exactly just show 47 sitting around observing, that's pretty damn boring. It seems like you'd have to market it like an action game by showing just the killing and running around, but the gameplay obviously shows it can still be played how you like.

You follow his target, only showing 47 briefly throughout the video and when he strikes. You can still have the action trailer too. They should emphasise the variety of gameplay options. Which they did, too be fair. It was just the first couple of trailers that were off putting.

Uh oh, PC gamer wasn't happy with Absolution. Gave it a 62 because it abandoned what made the past games great apparently. (No save function, Guards that you kill respawn, bodies vanish, and most mission you have have to go through a certain door with a disguise on so there is no other way past it.)

It was recently uncovered PC Gamer gives good reviews because they're paid too by devs; I'm seeing what others say.

Perfectionist me doesn't mind saves being gone, because I never use them in Hitman Blood Money anyway, but guards respawning is pretty shitty. I'm hoping that last point is their lack of skill of getting around guards at a door or something.

Guards respawning? What the fuck.

If guards respawn it should be handled like a New Life did it. If guards sound the alarm more will drive in with a car. But the car only comes once.

I sure hope I don't spend 15 minutes carefully eliminating guard force just to find them all replaced. No point in doing creative playthroughs then. [editline]10th November 2012[/editline] Could I have a source on that PCG review?

Link? Also, GUARDS RESPAWNING?! BODIES DISAPPEARING?! WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

The body disappearing is a bad idea if true. I wonder if it's because of performance. Now if guards really respawn that's terrible. In one level in Blood Money (the Mississippi boat) I knocked whole floor of guards to eliminate the chance of them finding the bodies.

Is this shit for real?

I highly doubt they have disappearing bodies, that'd destroy an entire aspect of the game.

Yeah, my PC gamer arrived today. I don't have a scanner but I can take a photo if you don't believe me. Some levels are like sections as well apparently, you go through one door and you cant go back again.

I hadn't read the article, but apparently the author who wrote it also gave the PC version of Max Payne 3 55%. So yeah, I'll wait until more reviews are in.

I really don't think it's true, considering that in the chinatown mission video they released, they showed hiding bodies, that would be pointless if they did just dissapear.

Maybe they mean disappearing after they hide them? If so, that isn't too bad.
