I am considering purchasing this video game with my hard earned money. What does Yea Forums this of this video game?

Easily top 5 game of 2018.

Did you think the Japan level was the hardest as well?

Japan was just fucking tedious. I honestly think it was the weakest level. I'm not even talking about the disguise stuff, just that the target was stationary and so you had to jump through the same hoops no matter how you ultimately chose to kill him.

I liked it a lot. My main issue is that you have to do some of the side objectives in order to complete your missions like finding the clues about the old man. Oddly, the final mission has a objective that's completely optional after you do it the first time around.

I had trouble with it because I wasn't using story guides. I couldn't find a way into the restricted section without having to kill everyone.

good game, first hitman game and I've sunk around 30 hours into it

>Kill last Colorado target outside
>Game tells me I have to get his face
>Spend an hour looking for a knife or scalpel or something

I'll get this if it's heavily discounted. Recently got new Hitman for 80% off.
Can't play it yet though since I'm out of storage space.

great game, but some bad client choices.

Oh, by the way, I STILL have not played the actual Hitman 2 content. The 99 hours I have in Hitman 2 were replaying the Hitman 1 legacy levels.

I will say Hitman 1 (2016) ran smooth as butter and they made some change to Hitman 2's engine that decreased the performance by half. It feels less fluid and a little more clunky.

Also, this really weird behavior where if a window is open in the background, the frame rate drops by about 40. So if you're about to make a move and someone sends you a instant message, the game instantly starts stuttering so bad you likely ruin whatever plan you had in the game.

Still worth it.

>ost still hasn't matched blood money
Why on earth would you play a stealth game with the music turned on, preventing you from clearly hearing everything going on around you?

Incidentally, one of my pet peeves with this game is how turning the music off in the options doesn't turn off the ambient music - like the annoying as shit techno dubstep garbage playing the whole time you're in Paris or the street music in Morocco

Pretty sure there's also other setting for the mission stories besides just on an off.

If you actually listened to NPCs, 1/3 of the dialogue is about unique opportunities to get the upper hand. It's not remotely subtle.

I just found out about escalation contracts, and wtf
this really teaches you how to approach the game
I would put a nice escalation as the tutorial of the game
btw, the game is a blast

If you get everything unlocked, you just ruined 200 hours of gameplay. But you can't unlock things the intended way when you pirate it, huh? You may be offline, but your game is shit compared to the real version that gives you hundreds of different goals to work for an earn unlocked tools and weapons instead of just throwing them all you like it's Christmas on your stolen game.

Colorado was the absolute worst on Master, mainly due to the save limitation. They really should have given you 1 save every 30 minutes or something.

Once I found the morgue and realized it connect to every stairway and major point of interest in the entire zone (and you could easily run by everyone down there), that level because ridiculously trivial.

I spent 15 minutes dragging his corpse there (before I even learned about the 3D printer) and kept trying for 5 minutes and it just wouldn't work. Long story short, I had the wrong corpse. Because the corpses don't have names and I wasn't familiar with who was who yet. One of those dumbass moments.

Bangkok was the worst level. literally only two ways to get to cross.

if you get the legacy thing that lets you play TM1's levels it's actually a pretty huge sandbox game that will last you quite a long time.

It's all context sensitive button cues and watching cool scripted animations. Not particularly fun or engaging.

For SOSA, I used the window on the 2nd floor where housekeeping was cleaning a room (had to clear about 15 people out of the way to get there), and there's a pipe outside the window that goes straight to the back of the recording studio. You just clear the 2 people behind the soundproof booth, and waltz in there kill him. Drag his corpse back to the room with the pipe down and there's a closet there waiting.

I discovered this on my 4th SOSA run. I wish I had known earlier. I had been clearing 40-50 people and stacking unconscious bodies in bathrooms and shit.

Absolutely correct. Of course these fanboys are going to pretend they flawlessly nailed the scripted sequences first time though.
I think OP made a mistake asking Yea Forums for advice, only hardcore fans of the first game would have actually bought Hitman 2 after the episodic grindfest that was the reboot.
Hey OP, did you know that you STILL have to grind points to unlock basic items? Not that anybody ITT would have told you that.

If it's of any help you can download and play each map individually.
Use the Hitman 2 launcher

It performed pretty badly on launch, but I'd say the performance is on par with 2016 now that they finally gave us some more graphics options, lower the simulation and reflection quality. Run it in dx12 if you can

not the first time but it isn't hard to piece togethet what to do. contrary to what he says, IO did the opportunity system for casuals and noobs. they know their main audience doesn't need it so that's why the game is still easily playable without it.
