[QUOTE=Rong;41442542]It uses Social Club as stated on the store page[/QUOTE]
A source tells me it does not use GFWL. So I bought it.
Anyways to answer your question BigJoeyLemons, yes.
Hitman Absolution is an excellent game with a cool mode where you can pick any NPC in a level as a target and kill them in a specific way and challenge people online to do it better than you.
In that mode there IS weapon customization, with limited options for balance.
I hate that people who played hitman blood money shittalk it because in blood money's opera level there's not many GOOD choices besides climb up and shoot the actor and drop a light on the ambassador, while in Absolution I can knock out a tin foil hat guy who's accused of breaking lawn gnomes during a bathroom break caused by me sabotaging the video tapes, disguise as him and get found guilty and taken into the jail I need to be in, OR, I can knock out the judge and announce him not guilty and take a tour of the jail to get in. That's just a few of the options that effectively finish the level.
TL;DR: Hitman Absolution isn't bad and neither are the rest of the games in the series. Get all of them if you feel like it, but even one of them is great. Preferably Blood Money/Absolution for a first time player, as the first two have a bit of getting into.

[QUOTE=Lukeo;41442445]I still have yet to actually play the original Hitman games so I'd feel guilty playing Absolution first :v:[/QUOTE]
No need, most starters are Blood Money but playing the original first might kill it for you because it's not so easy to get into at first without the motivation of enjoying the other games.
I remember in Absolution I abused a glitch in contracts mode. I made an expert, suit only, hands only, never spotted, hidden body assassination because I threw a wrench in the corner of a room that made an enemy from the other side of the map walk around to me so I could kill him. Normally he's in a well guarded room.

It was a penny for a little bit on best buy, I wonder if frys electronics will price match it :v:

Unless the game gave undeserving points I don't think that's a glitch, since it's just using one of the game's advertised mechanics. I think it's pretty clever.That's sort of the point of it is to do stuff like that.

you can kill an entire section of one level attracting people into a room.

and kill people trough walls with a knife (bug still not fixed)

I'm really new at this of Summer Sales but, does the last day have massive sales or what? Don't Starve went back to 20% and I hope it gets more disscount.
vote for incredipede please

You can do that room thing in Blood Money too. That glitch also looks very ineffective for competition anyway. However in blood money I can walk around with a giant fuckoff rifle as long as I hold a detonator out :v:
Edit:
Fuck I think the knife throw thing works in blood money too. The AI is even more gullible in Blood Money though. They don't give a shit if you crouch or sprint around like a weirdo, and people will chase you all the way across the map making it easy to push them over.
Edit:
Also iirc that knife glitch in the video is actually an animation glitch. I've done throws like that before and usually it shows him reach around the corner to throw.

They often have encore sales.
Also, games tend to go on sale multiple times. It's not uncommon for a game to be reduced in price two or even three times.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;41442318]I miss the sales background changing everyday, this getaway one is boring now[/QUOTE]
I miss them too, like back in 2010...

animation glitch that doesnt alert enemies, as you are not visible to them, and blood money has not autoaim
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;41442511]
Edit:
Hitman Blood Money - 7.5 hours
Hitman Absolution - 25 hours
You don't even own other hitman games, and your hours are out of sync with your arguments. I have more hours in the original Hitman game than you do in Blood Money, and I usually turn steam offline for that game. You should just stop.[/QUOTE]
Because i have to own my entire library on steam, and ive never played in other platforms like playstation 2 from 2000 to 2006

It clearly alerted enemies. Just stop. I don't care if you're an idiot I only care if you tell other people to be dumb too and make them miss out on a good game. I'm done talking about this because this isn't the forum for it. If you want to bitch and moan about a video games with no good reasoning, and come up with reasons that aren't true such as no weapon customization, with absolutely no knowledge of what you're talking about, try /v/.
What does "You are not allowed to sell this item. The Community Market might be temporarily disabled or your account might be restricted from using the Community Market." mean? Market is being flooded?
Do you think RE6 will get more % off, or buy it now?

I don't know, all the other RE titles are 75% and 75% is the highest this sale will go apparently, so 50% might be the most they're willing to go

I had that problem when I was selling all my TF2 crates, try clicking the item you want to sell before pressing the sell button.
It worked for me.
Also I guess I will get Absolution since I like Assassin-themed stuff

It's a great game, by the way.
My friends and I dick around in sandbox mode all the time with the cinematic viewmode on
[editline]13th July 2013[/editline]
Oh, one last thing, should I get plain old Absolution or the Professional Edition?

The only gameplay affecting parts are for the online contracts mode where you assassinate targets in levels chosen by players. So since you like "assassin stuff" specifically it might be a good idea. I have all the content, and I'm not displeased with any of it.

I wasn't saying buy it I was just bringing up a point, I actually don't know :v:

Alright, I bought it. Sure hope it'll be good.
And I doubt it'll get any cheaper, it's a flash sale thing

Is the Star Wars Collection worth it assuming it'll drop down to $33.33? I mostly just want the KotOR games and maybe Empire at War. Are the Jedi Knight games good?
I didn't think I would be able to buy games from the summer sale this year, but suddenly:

Someone actually bought my unusual hat on from the steam market. :O
I just dropped Football Manager 2013 (Foil) card, and I don't know should I sell it now, or should I keep it to sell it latter, like after the sale? Or does the cards expires after the sale?

I don't think the price will go up on them, only down due to people lowering it each time to sell it faster, so It would probably be better to just sell it now.
-Snip-
I'd almost sell my Unusuals on the steam market to get cash for Steam if I wasn't trying to get a 3DS XL. Hard choices between the two.
I'd totally buy Tomb Raider if the PC version let you play as Zac Levi like in the 360 version.
I just realized Heroes of might and magic 3 isn't on Steam and that bothers me greatly.

I remember getting into the top 10 on a featured contract by walking a bit too loudly on a stair, which caused the cop which should have guarded the alleyway the two targets were in, to check up on that by taking a minute-long detour though the map.
Also, Hitman Absolution for 5-7 bucks is a fucking steal. It might be not like Blood Money, but it is still a very good stealth game, and has more replay value too in my opinion.
