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

[QUOTE=Cone;38492631]He's probably always asked to do his regular American voice because nobody's willing to experiment with accents these days unless the plot calls for it. It'd be kind of weird if we had our badass protagonist talking in a goofy accent for the whole game, after all.[/QUOTE] I'd rather have a badass protagonist with an unusual and memorable accent than a badass protagonist who sounds like every character the voice actor has ever voiced

[QUOTE=BloodFox1222;38494833]I don't think the audience of an underground fight is going to be quick to rat out someone. "Oh yeah i saw that guy kill another guy while i was at that illegal wrestling match!"[/QUOTE] Man, you have no idea how relieved I am to know that was backed of by something logical.

What the fuck? I decided to play the Sniper Challenge for the first time in awhile and I noticed almost all of my challenges were reset. I have to do the mines, pigeons, whole bunch of other shit all over again. It's odd because in the main menu if I check challenges it shows them all done, but ingame it doesn't and doesn't count the extra modifier points.

Help my friend out. His game wants to run the Sniper Challenge on DirectX 11 which is comp does not support. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do1ws_8axQw[/media] He's tried verifying his cache, updating drivers, updating DirectX setting launch options to force a certain DirectX level and he tried to play in windowed mode. Nothing so far worked. Anyone got a solution for him?

[QUOTE=DaDillsta;38496536]You can't run the game on anything but DX11, if that's what you're asking.[/QUOTE] The minimum requirements for the game says it can run on DirectX 10. I highly doubt the game only runs on DirectX 11. Watch the video...

[QUOTE=UntouchedShadow;38496574]The minimum requirements for the game says it can run on DirectX 10. I highly doubt the game only runs on DirectX 11. Watch the video...[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure that just because your graphics card is "compatible" with DX10 doesn't mean that it won't allow you to run DX11, it just disallows certain features. I can't be 100% certain about this as I don't keep up with DirectX stuff on a personal level. [editline]18th November 2012[/editline] Someone posted this in the video comments: -snip- So it seems to be running in DX11 only without this "fix".

That's warez dude.

[QUOTE=UntouchedShadow;38496653]That's warez dude.[/QUOTE] Maybe so, I'll remove it then.

Anywho, he gave up trying to get it to work.

If anyone has a spare Sniper Challenge key I would really appreciate it. I preordered from Greenmangaming and NA doesn't get to participate in the action. I do have 2 dota invites (if you don't already have one), Bioshock, and DOD:S if you want to trade. Thanks

Tampered with some electronics then hid inside a trash can for 20 minutes, waiting for my target to kill himself with it. Such is the life of a Hitman.

You can now preload on Steam.

[QUOTE=Black0ut;38497888]You can now preload on Steam.[/QUOTE] Awww yeah! Also new Hitman avatar. :dance:

Just over 24 hours to go!

[QUOTE=Mr Flexi;38498038]Just over 24 hours to go![/QUOTE] 39 hours here. Definitely gonna have to grab an Australian VPN because I'll not be able to wait knowing I could be playing it.

for me it unlocks 2AM on a tuesday how unfortunate that i'll be sick on that tuesday

[QUOTE=Black0ut;38497888]You can now preload on Steam.[/QUOTE] Damn. Anyone know when GMG is sending out the keys?

[QUOTE=Cheh3x;38498079]Damn. Anyone know when GMG is sending out the keys?[/QUOTE] Release day.

For some reason I just love the face 47 makes in the Contracts mode trailer. [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/hitman7.png[/IMG] [editline]18th November 2012[/editline] He's like really suprised and calm at the same time for no reason

he realized the nametag said G. Fister

The Shooting Contest is near impossible, finished with 141 points trying my hardest, and you need 472+ points.

Yeah, wooo, alright! My preload's done! ... Guess I'll sit and stare at it for a day.

By the way it also comes on the 19th in Russia, just thought I'd let some of you know if you didn't already because I think it's a bit easier to get ahold of a Russian VPN than an Australian one. But I could be wrong.

[QUOTE=PieClock;38498533]Has anyone got an exact countdown for Russia/Australia's release?[/QUOTE] 1 day and 4 hours is what steam says for me

Just so you guys know, Gamereactor Denmark apparently gave Absolution 9/10 and this is a magazine I really trust with reviews, although I haven't read the review yet, I only saw it on the front page of their magazine. For comparison, they gave Blood Money 7/10 back when it came out, so It's not like they just give every Hitman game good ratings because they are danish as well. EDIT: Also I don't know if I should just borrow one of my friends Steam accounts to play Absolution on, because he doesn't play videogames anymore and he preordered it a long time ago, or if I should just buy it for my own account. I just have been spending quite a bit of money lately.
