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

[QUOTE=darth-veger;38489461]Just noticed in Hitman 2 that you see things referring to 'Allah' a lot :v: Didn't see any hate towards it though[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Ganerumo;38489653]Hitman 2 is fairly old. The censor shitstorm over any allusion of Allah in video games has only started recently.[/QUOTE] It certainly isn't a recent thing at all. I believe the lack of outrage is because they never really portray Muslims in a negative light, and the references to Allah are in the form of a setting-accurate prayer call in the background audio of a middle eastern city. There was however bother from Sikhs regarding the India levels, which is unusual. Apparently later versions of the games don't actually feature specifically a Sikh cult in a specifically Sikh temple? I only ever got that far in a PS2 version from original release. I heard they might have even removed a level but can find no details online about what exactly they changed, except maybe removing Agent Smith calling the locals a "bunch of towelheads".

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;38489761]Yeah there's the part where you get all the bitches.[/QUOTE] Yeah, this bald prick ain't got nothing on me.

[QUOTE=UntouchedShadow;38489754]Define what you mean by smarter. Do they retain the X-Ray vision from previous Hitman games that allows them to see through your disguise and detect you the second you get close to them? Or do they not see through your disguise as easily, but react more quickly in the event they do?[/QUOTE] Depends on the disguise you're wearing, for example there are mechanics and cops, if you have mechanic disguise, only mechanics will recognize you, but it;s still a pain in the butt seeing you can't move so freely around, the closer you get the faster you get spotted. In order to get rid of him is either to run away or get to some place and kill him.

Well, Expert and Purist are hard for obvious reasons then. At least the game will be challenging.

The pre-order bonuses on Steam are fucking amazing. Gutted I can't get this just now.

[QUOTE=Scotchair;38489937]The pre-order bonuses on Steam are fucking amazing. Gutted I can't get this just now.[/QUOTE] Probably trying to convince people to buy it for full price now instead of waiting for a sale.

[QUOTE=Scotchair;38489937]The pre-order bonuses on Steam are fucking amazing. Gutted I can't get this just now.[/QUOTE] And I was thinking they wouldn't release those TF2 promos they hinted at. Was pleasantly surprised to find out they made 6.

So guards just respawn out of no where? or do they come from somewhere?

[QUOTE=Cairn Trenor;38490349]So guards just respawn out of no where? or do they come from somewhere?[/QUOTE] Guards you killed will respawn if you load a checkpoint. Don't believe they respawn otherwise.

[QUOTE=Cairn Trenor;38490349]So guards just respawn out of no where? or do they come from somewhere?[/QUOTE] Come out of nowhere.

[QUOTE=Jojje;38487679]Steve Blum is in everything. He is everywhere. He sees all.[/QUOTE] yeah now if only he didn't fucking voice everything in the same goddamn voice

[QUOTE=BloodFox1222;38490378]Guards you killed will respawn if you load a checkpoint. Don't believe they respawn otherwise.[/QUOTE] Are you sure? have you played?

I also heard Desmond Miles' voice actor a couple of times too.

[QUOTE=EzioAuditore;38490453]I also heard Desmond Miles' voice actor a couple of times too.[/QUOTE] Seriously?

[QUOTE=UntouchedShadow;38490461]Seriously?[/QUOTE] Aye, he's talking to Steve Blum's character as another guard in the prologue.

[QUOTE=DaDillsta;38489419]Hey, Jericho wasn't a bad game, it just wasn't an amazing game.[/QUOTE] It was kind of arbitrarily difficult, yet also dissatisfying to play due to the shitty weapons and retarded AI. In all fairness it did have some neat ideas and enemy designs, but the gameplay side of it was just awful.

[QUOTE=UntouchedShadow;38490461]Seriously?[/QUOTE] Yeah Nolan North is in everything too. Unlike Steve Blum though he USUALLY doesn't sound the same every time. He can do a shitton of voices.

[QUOTE=UntouchedShadow;38490461]Seriously?[/QUOTE] It's easier to list the (recent) games Nolan North isn't in than to list the ones he is in.

steve blum is that guy who sounds like solid snake and did the voice for mugen in samurai champloo right?

[QUOTE=NeoSeeker;38490612]steve blum is that guy who sounds like solid snake and did the voice for mugen in samurai champloo right?[/QUOTE] yep. also think of any random video game and steve has been in it.

Compulsory Steve Blum educational video. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ9ySw_UAbo[/media]

[QUOTE=Jojje;38490641]yep. also think of any random video game and steve has been in it.[/QUOTE] he's also been in pretty much ever English anime dub ever made as well iirc

[QUOTE=Cairn Trenor;38490448]Are you sure? have you played?[/QUOTE] He is right. And I know for sure because I played the game. +xboz leak + sorry writin from m phone

You mean if you kill a guard then die the guard you killed AFTER the checkpoint respawns right? not killed before right?

[QUOTE=Cheeseist;38490831]You mean if you kill a guard then die the guard you killed AFTER the checkpoint respawns right? not killed before right?[/QUOTE] If you kill a guard before you activate the checkpoint and die after you activate it, they respawn.

That sounds like something that will probably be fixed quickly in a patch

Obligatory Steve Blum video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd7oC3wmpuA[/media] He and Nolan North are in every single game coming out.

[QUOTE=EzioAuditore;38490854]If you kill a guard before you activate the checkpoint and die after you activate it, they respawn.[/QUOTE] So they don't respawn otherwise?
