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

Man I'm loving this game so far, purist difficulty is for men.

[QUOTE=Mr. Crabsworth;38522913]Do you have the latest drivers (310.54Beta) for the Hitman SLI profile? If you haven't don't be surprised if it makes you crash however.[/QUOTE] 306.97 downloaded on Saturday.

[QUOTE=Ridge;38522588]14fps I'm averaging in the benchmark. Fourteen. I run BF3 at maximum graphics at 45-60fps[/QUOTE] Shit son I'm scared for my 570. Someone reassure me.

[QUOTE=Tudd;38523068]Max Settings at 60 FPS with 580s SLI and a 4.9Ghz i5 3570k, with no MSAA (Though doesn't really need it from what I noticed.) [b]Will update the performance I get once I install the beta drivers with a SLI profile for this game.[/b] [/QUOTE] [b]Finished installing Beta driver.[/b] My system can fully play this game now with all settings maxed, including 8xMSAA, with a respectable high 50 FPS average. I highly recommend everyone downloads the drivers ASAP, even if you don't SLI.

Having really mixed feelings about this so far mostly because I can't adjust to the new disguise system.

The whole suspicion system really shouldn't come into effect unless your within 15 paces of the NPC, how they can "spot" you from really unrealistic distances is rather unappealing.

I'm getting mixed messages about the scoring. Maybe I haven't spent enough time playing, but it seems to reward different things at different times. For example, how is knocking a guard unconscious worth negative points, but head-shooting a guy is positive points? I'm playing on Hard, and it seems like the game isn't entirely sure how it wants me to play, so it commends and condemns me at the same time to balance out. I had an argument with my roommate about it which resulted in him telling me that headshots apparently take more skill than quietly knocking a guard out, and that I should simply get better. Is there just something critical I'm missing? And the disguise system is pretty iffy as well - I dunno how I got Silent Assassin on Chinatown, because everyone and their mother was pretty suspicious of everything I did, forever. Otherwise, I'm having a blast. I love the environments, majority of the gameplay, the controls are alright. It feels almost like Blood Money, but the disguise system makes it hard to explore.

I just feel like the controls are odd... like in previous games you'd use Q, E, and space and that's it, but now we've got F G T or something thrown into the mix on top of those, plus I keep pressing control to crouch and using up instinct by accident... I guess I'll get used to it all but it's annoying when you're trying to do something quickly before you get caught and the keys throw you off.

Though I got used to it.

Ive spent about 3 hours with the game and the only complaint i have personally is how the disguise system works.

I like the new system, they just need to make it a little easier. They shouldn't start to recognize you from a mile away nor should it be so quick.

It should only be when you're like, right up next to them for maybe 10 seconds or so.

The wornout shotgun that the guards walk around with in the hotel level is so satisfying killing goons with. really love the gunplay in this game

At first, it ran like shit. Irritating me. But, I installed the beta drivers and now it runs like a charm. I love this game. I feel like such a badass.

maybe they could change up the whole disguise thing and such by only having the yellow arrow appear if you're facing someone, since they can see your face then

I hate how even if I wear a mask I'm suddenly "oh man I totally know you, you're that dude who wears the exact same costume as about 500 other people that we're sitting right next to. Hey wait a minute, you don't give a fuck? Well you must obviously be the bald dude we're looking for"

[QUOTE=Jojje;38524087]maybe they could change up the whole disguise thing and such by only having the yellow arrow appear if you're facing someone, since they can see your face then[/QUOTE] That could work actually. Either way, it needs some re-balancing. I hope they listen and fix it, there's more than enough people complaining about it I see.

I was waiting for him to look up [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/560958683003240274/D3A7A25991BB8B7D52FCB770BF0015C5AFE8D6B9/[/t]

Welp, its released and 100% downloaded yet when I try to start it it downloads and gets stuck there...can't play the game GG Steam

oh my god lol Lenny is like one of the first retarded character you can kill in a video game

Yeah I think what they could do to fix the disguise system is lower the spotting radius slightly and only make them spot you if you're facing them. Similar to how crowds work.

sometimes i dont get the subdue option, does it depend on the equipped item?

[QUOTE=Jojje;38524621]Yeah I think what they could do to fix the disguise system is lower the spotting radius slightly and only make them spot you if you're facing them. Similar to how crowds work.[/QUOTE] And perhaps only let them spot you if the guards are suspicious. Otherwise it goes straight from "normal day at work" to "hey, come shoot this guy I don't recognize just because I say so".

[QUOTE=waylander;38524678]sometimes i dont get the subdue option, does it depend on the equipped item?[/QUOTE] you have to have no items equipped, otherwise you get human sheild or garrote

holy fuck that [sp]running from the cops level is annoying, every 2 seconds "HEY WAIT I DON'T RECOGNIZE YOU"[/sp]

[QUOTE=Cheeseist;38524748]you have to have no items equipped, otherwise you get human sheild or garrote[/QUOTE] Or smack them over the head with book, wrench etc.
