[QUOTE=peterson;38412245]The China town vid is worse. He puts an explosive where the China Town King is going and he stands right next to the door to leave the level. He explodes it when the China Town King is walking over the explosive, obviously using the Mini-map as a reference then immediately loads into the next level.[/QUOTE] And he takes the explosive out and throws it right in front of a cop. :suicide:

omg 9 more days i feel like a kid again for the first time in forever omg omg omg. seriously. it's not like i cannot wait, i can, but i am super duper fucking excite mang.

[QUOTE=Codename 47;38408817]It's really amazing, and I was wondering if perhaps The Golden Cat in Dishonored was a nod at it? When you kill [sp]one of the Pendletons, he can be in the steam room, and you can turn a valve and watch him die through a window. I know the pipe doesn't explode in Tools of the Trade, but they seemed awfully similar, the two scenes.[/sp][/QUOTE] Whaaaaaaat? Haven't had time to play Dishonored yet, now I'm excited to try it out. Good way to kill time untill Absolution!

[QUOTE=Fortesqueh;38412465]Whaaaaaaat? Haven't had time to play Dishonored yet, now I'm excited to try it out. Good way to kill time untill Absolution![/QUOTE] Blood Money is still an awesome way. But I just got BL2 as well.

The urge to replay Codename 47 still lingers. NEED TO WAKE UP IN 6 HOURS FOR SCHOOL MUST NOT THINK ABOUT ASSASSINATING PEOPLE

[QUOTE=Fortesqueh;38412530]The urge to replay Codename 47 still lingers. NEED TO WAKE UP IN 6 HOURS FOR SCHOOL MUST NOT THINK ABOUT ASSASSINATING PEOPLE[/QUOTE] You've got to release the stress before the urge builds up, Otherwise you might end up assassinating your teacher.

[QUOTE=PieClock;38412119]These 3 videos have about an hour of gameplay (some of which hasn't been seen before): [url]http://i.youku.com/u/UMTEwMzMxMDMy/videos[/url] They're in order from right to left, and imo, it doesn't spoil too much.[/QUOTE] does anyone have these videos elsewhere? for some reason they won't play for me and when they do, it buffers extremely slowly.

[QUOTE=Fortesqueh;38412465]Whaaaaaaat? Haven't had time to play Dishonored yet, now I'm excited to try it out. Good way to kill time untill Absolution![/QUOTE] It has some Hitman-esque feels to it, and it's quite the games, yes.

[QUOTE=NeoSeeker;38412424]omg 9 more days i feel like a kid again for the first time in forever omg omg omg. seriously. it's not like i cannot wait, i can, but i am super duper fucking excite mang.[/QUOTE] I was until that stupid review came out saying bodies disappear and guards respawn, and probably a load of other shitty negative things. I will be so annoyed if they destroy the hitman DNA. Altho i guess there is still contracts if you wanna go blood money style

I can't take this tension anymore. I need to play Blood Money now and kill everyone, silently.

i think i'll play a blood money mission a day up until the 20th i'll start with a vintage year tomorrow I'll prolly have to squeeze in a few into the last day tho since there are more than 8

Watching that dude playing like a fucking tool actually makes me want to buy the game and play it properly.

[QUOTE=Fortesqueh;38412530]The urge to replay Codename 47 still lingers. NEED TO WAKE UP IN 6 HOURS FOR SCHOOL MUST NOT THINK ABOUT ASSASSINATING PEOPLE[/QUOTE] But it's a bad game! Sure, the concept is great, but the execution was so flawed it's a miracle the series became popular. 2 is pretty great, though. Well, there are the infamous Japan missions, but I personally have yet to play these - just finished Russia.

They don't really hold up nearly as well as you would think.

You can beat that level in about 2 minutes and get Silent Assassin.

I replayed Codename 47 a while back and the controls were so horrible that I didn't even get out of the asylum

[QUOTE=Taggart;38413893]I replayed Codename 47 a while back and the controls were so horrible that I didn't even get out of the asylum[/QUOTE] This is why I rebound the keys as soon as I started it up.

Yah I'll admit the controls for Codename 47 were pretty bad till I rebound them to find my liking. I'm also still bothered by the weapons menu it has. You select your weapon from a drop down list that appears at the top right of the screen, rather than the circular, time-stopping weapon menu that Blood Money got me used to. To make matters worse, running an old game like Codename 47 on a current generation Windows-7 toting computer like mine apparently doesn't bode too well for it, so things crash and part of the screen are cut off. Still, I always enjoyed Codename 47 and shooting Dr. Ortmeyer in the balls with a minigun. Though I'm saddened they didn't include Hitman: Contracts alongside the games you get free for pre-ordering Absolution. By the way, does anyone know what the weapon selection menu will be like in Absolution? Did they keep the circular loadout?

[QUOTE=JurajIsNotPirat;38411502]How's that idiotic? They're being safe. They can still buy it If the review turns out to be wrong.[/QUOTE] Because jumping the Bandwagon is always a bad idea, it drums up a lot of hate and negativity; if they repurchase the game, they're back in the same spot originally.

Another trailer: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USBnrOQ1iPw[/media] And for those interested, there's another 21 minutes of unofficial gameplay up here: [url]http://i.youku.com/u/UMTEwMzMxMDMy/videos[/url] Most of it is just that police mansion place that we got shown before.

I know he is the best they had but that seems rather excessive.

the way that japanese guy plays gives me a seizure like in the shangri-la when he uses the shotgun and shoots all the cops fFFFFFF just get them away from there with the disco god dang it

Another 33 minutes of gameplay up on youku. Fuck this is too tempting.

[QUOTE=Jojje;38421569]the way that japanese guy plays gives me a seizure like in the shangri-la when he uses the shotgun and shoots all the cops fFFFFFF just get them away from there with the disco god dang it[/QUOTE] Chinese And I know it just got me more excited for the game : (

Fuck that guy is bad. When 47 is escaping the cops in the library mission, the guy just runs through them and keeps going. Then he basically drags a body around in plain sight. MY CRINGES.
