I like these games.
I love these games.
I love Victoria!
These games are great.
IO should really take another shot at introducing a woman as a second protagonist. If they made it more lore friendly, it would be an interesting option to add an extra layer of challenge to the gameplay.
what
Victoria was obviously an attempt to set up a female protagonist to play as once 47 got to old or something. I'm saying that the idea isn't bad in principle (as long as 47 remains playable), but it was badly executed in Absolution.
pls
Anyone try the new sniper assassin map? How is it?
It's the best sniper map by far and is actually pretty fun. Grinding to upgrade and unlock the rifle is a pain though.
What is your favorite level? I like Mumbai and Whittleton Creek.
>fully modeled and textured lace panties
How did they allow this?? This game should be more child friendly I can't believe this
I really miss the ragdolls and snappy shooting of Blood Money. Also shoving people
Could be cool to choose between 47 and a female assassin, the female assassin obviously having the option of picking up different disguises and some unique special kills.
Although I feel 47 is far too iconic to sideline.
Man I really need to play Miami again.
>47 is far too iconic to sideline.
Pretty much this
FUCK Jorge Franco and FUCK npcs with slow walk speeds
I just wanna see an actual "down-on-his-luck" 47.
Where he's now having the need to improvise in terms of weapons and starts out with just fibre wires. Something like in Absolution but even more hectic.
Also because a bearded+hair 47 wouldve look so kickass judging from that bloodmoney mugshot.
I assume he'd grow a big lumberjack beard but still be bald.
>bald but bearded
desu he'd probably pull that off too.
uncouncious npcs can be found and you keep silent assassin
FINALLY

59:15
47 can pull anything off, look at his facial structure. The man is a literal gigachad
>47 can pull anything off
Lies, he can't pull off pigtails
Proof or else you lose you big fat fatty fat fat fatterson
fat
Can he even grow hair?
I would hope so.
If not then seeing him with a sexy beard is now a pipe dream i can only make real in my drawings :c
hitman: contracts was fucking kino
I like you user.
he seems to have a stubble in this trailer

Gore in games is so boring now. The npc models like like marionettes in this too
i love you too user
I think the main reason this won't happen is just the amount of work and level design tweaks it would take.
Butts on that!
imo it doesn't have to be a direct relation to the story. It could just be a mode where he can't switch out of the clothes or bring weapons because he's a hobo now and has a beard.
the improvised weapons thing is pretty much in the game already i guess.
>unconscious npcs can be found and you keep silent assassin
Is this a good thing? Seems exploitable unless it was for targets only
I missed out on getting the last two Hitman games after playing and loving most earlier entries, including even Absolution.
I know they're probably great, but the episodic structure and bloated price put me off initially, while in the last sale I literally just couldn't figure out what version(s) of the game(s) to buy. Any suggestions?
Watching NL's playthrough right now and holy shit it unironically pisses me off but it so fun at the same time
You buy Hitman 2 (2018) and get the GOTY Legacy Pack DLC for it. Then you can play the 2016 game's levels in the newer engine.
You should also get the gold edition if you want to play the upcoming levels, like the Bank they added last month or the Resort coming up in August (I think). It's admittedly pretty fucking pricey, but it's been down to like $40 on sale a couple of times
This. Definitely wait for a sale. I was able to get the Gold edition of 2 for $60 and the game has a good sale every couple of months.
so why does he only hit man?
Wait does he ever actually smile like that? I thought he was on like a chemical balancing regimen to keep him stoic and neutral to the mission.
no it's a faceapp filter
Shit, I was thinking about doing this or some variant of it during summer sale. Thought I'd be missing a bunch of DLC for the 2018 game that way. So essentially Gold Edition + Legacy DLC, got it. Thanks.
Although I'll probably have a hard time ever reaching the 100% I like to aim for, since the achievements for both games are insane in number and scope.
I never really gave a shit about the sniper mode, but the Siberia map is fun at least. I just wish you could actually customize the sniper instead of it being a series of linear upgrades.
Dr. Ort-Meyer, I'm ICA.
Lads I just started palying Hitman 2 legacy pack, lst hitman game I played was Blood Money, gimme tips
First step is to uninstall the game
then later uninstall yourself
Turn mission story hints to minimal or off in the options, unless you want to be told exactly what to do and don't like exploring on your own
lockpick and coins are your best friends
don't turn off instict and missioin stories guide
be patient and study enviroments and NPCs behaviors
Thanks, lads
Btw I saw a guy using the pistol as a distraction tool, is it doable now? Like shooting the walls instead of dropping coins
It has to be done in a certain way. If it's too close to them, they will know it's a gunshot. And don't bother doing it unsilenced
You can also use a gun itself as a tool by placing/dropping it on the ground. Guards will take it to a drop off box, and civvies will leave to go tell a nearby guard about it who will then go take it off to a box
just throw shits it doesn't have to a coin
Got it, thanks
I'm a little disappointed you can't throw the guns itself, it just seems like a good way to lure guards in a specific way.
It'd make frisking entirely pointless desu
Well the briefcase kinda does circumvent frisking in the first place anyways
So how is the Bank DLC?
Ever since I have played Hitman I always wanted a Bank Hiest-esque level. Can you steal gold for fun? Can you act like a robber in the bank?
It's good, but too easy. Getting into the vault is actually the easier of the two options for the secondary objective.
there is a bank robber disguise and you can find some gold bars.

HITMAN 2 EDITIONS EXPLAINED

S'aight, its my favourite so far because new york
>I always wanted a Bank Hiest-esque level.
Ye boi
>Can you steal gold for fun?
Ye boi
>Can you act like a robber in the bank?
Ye boi
>he rates the morgans
ishiggydiggy
there is nothing more broken in this game than dropping a weapon and having the enforcer leave to take it to the storage room
once you nail down that mechanic, the game is easy mode
Breaking: Electrified Puddle Kills Dozens
>bodies were found 40 feet away naked and in crates.
Truly, a strange accident.
>more absolution
no
It doesn't have to be absolution you absolute dingus
Lucas Grey can so 47 should be able too
Small
Really hoping 3 has some darker stuff like The Meat King's Party.
Exactly, so no. Absolution introduced some good QoL mechanics, but the leveldesign and whole premise (47 down on his luck and on the run) were utter garbage.
Then don’t do it? Hitman is all about trying different things now
>47 down on his luck and on the run
Nothing wrong with that in theory. That was basically the premise of Blood Money too.
i have a complicated relationship with Mumbai
i thought the correct way to kill the prisoner was to shoot the battery when he swings it back for the final hit.
that wasn't it.
Is silent assassin or changed? Whenever I knock someone out by throwing a briefcase to the back of their head, it somehow ruins my silent assassin rating
well I only used it once in the shortgun escalation
I usually prefer to stealth my way into the game instead of knocking and hiding people
I guess it´s the saso mentality
should be ok if nobody sees it
Its been happening to me in embrace the serpent, I isolate a guard throw it to his head and I lose the sa rating, its fine if I walk up behind and hit them.
Thus map feels pretty shit for the saso rating
>you can't conceal a shovel in your briefcase
Lucas Grey is subject number 6 so obviously the hair was an unintended side effect
yeah it's a really reliable way of getting rid of guards on saso runs, used it a few times redoing the legacy maps. I do think it's fairly balanced though since you only have your starting pistol and you have to knock out guards for more that don't stack in your inventory. Obviously that's not difficult but if you're trying to go totally ghost it's not an option
which levels throughout the series are worth replaying?
no it wasn't, the premise then was that the ICA had a rival assassin business. that's why there were a lot of assassin girls trying to kill you
The point of Absolution is not to make Victoria an assassin!
he is bald in the retrospective too
The lack of actually using and gaining money for hits, and getting points kind of dummifies it. I'd rather have to earn money and then "bribe" people to unlock positions and maybe having challenges to unlock certain starting locations disguises or weapons. The lack of any currency in the games besides Codename 47 and blood money is disappointing.
Blood Money levels, the rest is just too dated at this point. Skip absolution.
Guards pick up briefcases if you try to toss them through.
I'm just sad we can't collect and customize weapons. Unlocking them from some XP bar is lame.
Just turn off the story hints. Otherwise, it's just blood money, but better.
I can kind of understand why it's not a thing in 2016/18 since the levels are so heavily designed around replayability with regular content drops of various suits and items. You'd have to balance it so a casual player would be able to unlock most things pretty easily but someone like me with 100+ hours in would get everything pretty early on and then have nothing to work for. I'd also be banking an obscene amount of cash so I'd be able to buy any new stuff immediately instead of doing the challenges for them. If the economy was more grindy casual players would be turned off and people would abuse quick saso runs for easy money. I'm not saying it's impossible to balance it well but it would require a lot of fine tuning and would probably be more trouble than it's worth. I'm pretty happy with the way things are, you get most things just by playing normally and getting mastery and then there are specific challenges for some cool unique stuff. It's increasingly rare for games to have cosmetics you unlock by various challenges, it's infinitely better than the alternative of fucking lootboxes or some insane grind with paid boosters to get a "rare" item

I can't help it
ive been playing lately as pure 100% stealth, no knockouts, no kills, no traces, no disguises, nothing
one day i thought I stopped enjoying the levels because of that, but I can't help it... i prefer creating a solid route of ghost gameplay than following the obvious dev path
I didn't finish the bank until I had a solid no disguise route. Using the IT disguise is like god mode
I think you should get unlock points from doing challenges instead of cash. That way you can't just grind a mission over and over again.
Nu hitman is pretty great in a lot of ways but for some reason it still doesn't compare to blood money for me
It's pretty good but i wish it was more like picrelated
But that's functionally pretty much how it works with the level mastery? You don't get bankable points you can choose to spend on anything but you do challenges, get xp, and eventually unlock everything there is to get in the level. The only difference in what you're proposing is being able to choose the order you unlock things and not have to do map specific challenges
>bearded 47
Oh, my ovaries.
Why not?
>facial hair on 47
yikes
I get the feeling women who play Hitman get a lot of fan service out of 47 and his outfits.
Me too, but I like men's clothing and Im a dude.
Is there any way to get the bank without paying for the season pass? I don't care about the sniper maps, at all.
upgrade to silver
but lbh, just buy the season pass for 10 on keysites, lad
I really hope you posted that on accident
Can someone explain some things to me?
How do Blood Money and Absolution connect, where did Travis come from?
How do Absolution and nuhitman connect? That plotline at the end of Absolution with the police and Birdie going after 47 never went anywhere. That could have been cool if a serious CIA/FBI police presence went after 47 in a game kind of like what was going on with the agency in BM. Also 47 never got his revenge on Birdie.
Another thing to note, it seems like nothing from Absolution is referenced in nuhitman, did they write it out of the story canon?
Also the storyline of the nuhitman games feels kind of cheesy for some reason but I can’t put my finger on it, Providence doesn’t seem that cool or threatening for a NWO organization and it’s dumb how Diana is so surprised that something like that could exist when they’ve been going after shadow operatives for years.
Also is the stuff with Lucas Grey and the Romanian stuff canon? I didn’t play the original so I don’t know much about 47’s origins but from what I’ve heard about it it doesn’t seem to connect to that stuff.
>playing hitman for the story
dont do that, it's disjointed crap anyway
Only fags care about the lore.
I need to understand the lore though
Also another thing that seems weird about Providence is that it wasn’t set up or even hinted at in the previous games, they should make an effort to tie it to previous events so it doesn’t seem like it came out of nowhere in the new games.
Absolution is non-canon, don't ever think about it again.
Mumbai is for dirty street shitters
wtf is that? double agent on PS2?
But I love Absolution
It's literally from some pulp fiction novels that was written between the release of Blood Money and Absolution. It's the reason Absolution was so shit despite having a pretty tight gameplay, because the story was told through the levels, and what happened there, instead of being in the background between the levels like in every other game.
Yeah exactly, it's garbage. Just play it like the murder simulator it's supposed to be.
Yikes my dude. Yikes.
Absolute pleb opinion. Mumbai is the best level of 2. There is so much going on. And you really have to applaud the level designers to make the level almost smellable. Don't get me wrong, I hate India and Indians, but they captures the feel of this septic cloaca really well.
it's almost realistic but then there's a woman in a position of power
Hitman seems to do this a lot. I think it's a consequence of them caring so much about diversity.
Oh just fuck right off
I just recent got Hitman. I just did the one elusive target mission in italy and got an absolution suit and the regular italy suit with gloves. Is there any chance for me to get the older special reward suits, or am I fucked?
i like the new games but the tone of them is getting to be too silly. wish they would 'go dark' again like contracts/silent assassin. make the levels way more moody and atmospheric then hire a better composer. i wish sniping was more organic in the sandbox levels instead of having to trigger the challenge/story scripts to make the targets actually move around.
I hope peeping through keyholes function will be back. I like to play without interface and instinct for full immersion.
could see it as a prison mission. couldn't get him in as a guest or a guard because the security for that side is insane, but they managed to get him in as a prisoner.
Isle of Sgail had a really good atmosphere and vibe, and the deep violin soundtrack really shined there, it sounded like Bloodborne
Isle of Sgail was such a good level.
yeah and then he grew hair because he's a failure
I liked it less the more I played it. So many missed opportunities. You had to be in costume for EVERYTHING
>the MC
>the coal mogul
>the apprentice
Also, it's a bitch to SASO. There just is no elegant route.
For me, it's the suburban suit with driving gloves
one question, fellas
do you have to SA the escalation to get rewards? or am I wasting my time?
IMPERIAL FUCKING SUIT WHEN?!?
I'm not sure as I SA'd all escalations, but I only think I noticed one escalation that required SA for the final stage to unluck the reward.
Wasting time.
It’s honestly my all time favorite
>same shit with gloves
really creative there ioi
i'll take suave summer and cowboy over any of that shit
k
thank you
Just get it a couple of times for the suits
They might release other elusives from the same map so just keep an eye out
What’s the difference between Absolution shit and classic 47?
>It's good, but too easy
Defintion of NuHitman.
Oh, now i understand
you need a bunch of SA as a whole to get the suits
thank you
Absolution suit is larping as a bus driver with that retarded clip on his tie.
>Missed the Hokaido elusive target as the only one
>Really wanted that suit
>There's been three elusive targets in Sapienza alone
I really wish they would mix it up a bit.
do SA on any escalation once for tripwire mine, after that go nuts.
which level should I wear Terminus one?
I want the scuba suit from new zealand on every level, goddamit
i look fantastic
the pants tho
No level. Because it's stupid. Maybe the colorado one, because it shouldve been torched in production.
>we want the splinter cell audience
Hokkaido morgue starting point, because it makes sense.
the clip makes it the best though
i never got got why they gave him pants. maybe boots with just the wetsuit looked awkward i guess.
IO, I forbandede skiderikker!
Why can't I use the Imperial suit in every level??
Reminder that Absolution is a great game.
Literally a busdriver accessory. Please dont ever wear one IRL.
he cute
Any level where you'd like to play as a deranged knife maniac
Isnt the Elusive Target reward suit wearable in every level?
>Why can't I use the Imperial suit in every level??
because allowing you to use any suit in any level would be too much fun.
it's very obvious there's IOI people in this thread
I've lurked the hitman threads for a while, and there is always the same loop, where someone asks about the season pass, others tell about key sites, others end up explaining the different editions again and again
the most obvious sign is the people that ask questions that are totally obvious, and that you can find the answer in a matter of seconds using google
I mean, I appreciate the shilling, and I am sad nobody other than the same 4 retards, and 2 devs are interested on current year hitman
godspeed
MAKE HITMAN 3 GOOD, BTW
I certainly hope so.
Which level is the hardest for a SA/SO/no knockouts run?
>Oh no, muh viral marketing!
>Oh no, muh shadow marketing!
It's like I'm back on Yea Forums in 2006 again.
colorado
you can easily accident'd them all with sniper
I regularly create hitman threads every week, and they get like 4 responses
then you have shit hitman threads that get bumped by the most obvious strawman discussions possible
some dude gets in the thread to say Absolution is the best hitman game, and supposedly """"another"""" discuss that
it's obvious not a lot of people care about the game here, sadly
the online thing is killing the game
Rate my GTAV Agent 47
It is weird how often people ask about the different editions, but I see that literally everywhere. Just a minute ago I was watching a YouTube speedrun of a level and some guy in the comments was asking how to get the levels.
I feel like it’s the same 5 people talking in every Hitman thread though
Absolution IS good though and I won’t let Yea Forums niggers tell me otherwise.
Looks like a generic thug from Eastern Europe
absolutely
that is why I believe this is shit marketing to shill the different editions, or get people to discuss the price again and again
I would love to have meaningful discussion, but there is not a lot of interest, sadly
the online shit, and the clusterfuck of editions is clearly hurting sales
they would probably sell more releasing a DEFINITIVE EDITION for 49.99, and removing all the tier completely from the store
GTAV creator is pretty shit, hard to get somethign exctly how you want
No sense in arguing with flat earthers either
Talking about a game they like isn't shilling.
People having different opinions isn't a god damn fucking conspiracy. Get your head out of your ass, user.
I enjoyed the game a lot, desu
well, not being bald pretty much kills it straight off the bat.
face is alright but hair is just ruining it
It is extremely confusing since there's a million different editions and dlcs out there. When Siberia map was released it said "get access" to me in the game and sent me to Steam store but I couldn't find how to purchase it. Turns out I just had to wait until release time but the game presented it as if I had to buy something extra. It's a clusterfuck.
nah, mate
raving about editions on every single thread is not a discussion
it's the same when re7 was released... it was pathetic
then when the thread does not get bumps, they start "trolling" and insulting to get more replies
for whatever reason, this board is only interested in bad games to shit on, but solid games like hitman 2 don't get discussed because they are legit good
Would your waifu be able to get Silent Assassin on each level?
there is no "BALD" option. only shaved
get all the beard you want, guys
nexusmods.com
it looks kind of goofy, though
Or maybe it's because Yea Forums is much bigger than your smoothbrain understands and you have a lot of posters coming in wanting to know the situation. The retards have 2 games called Hitman..2. One of the said games has 3 fucking passes that do different things, it's confusing.
nah
it's the same question again and again
it's not real discussion
ie: nobody asks about legacy levels
that is a real confussion
this shit is fake af
K I N O

Items that should nullify SA rating if you use them: poison syringes, electrocution phone, electronic lock jammers, tranquiliser gun, rubber duck explosives. Did I forget something?
Why everyone suddenly playing H1/H2?
look at this dood
Why do shitskin ESL posters always take new lines for no reason?
>still no Mumbai elusive target
Those fuckers are doing it on purpose because they know it's the best suit
can you make the ansel camera move farther than 2 feet from 47 or am i just gonna have to use cheat engine for screenshot porn?
Are they? Like who?
I recently bought it in the steam sale. Hitman 2 gold + legacy. Well chuffed with it.
there's an ansel mod for that
If they decided to give him a beard in a future Hitman game to give him that aura of being an older guy who’s still killing people (but slower and with less skill because of age) it should be bigger and bushier, that just doesn’t look good. Think like Ezio in Assassins creed Revelations.
That would be pretty amazing if they started making him older and more cumbersome in later games and there was a proper storyline where he’s basically at the end of the line but still killing people ruthlessly with brutal, rugged technique from 50-60 years of experience. It would be like the guy who plays Saw in dark robes with his hidden blade.
They should go back to the old SA rating from Silent Assassin:
Only targets can be taken out (killed or knocked out)
Only one shot can be fired without affecting the rating (You now have to choose between using that shot for your target, or take out evidence from a distance)
No more enforcers. Everybody can see through a disguise if you get too close or stick around too long.
I just bought the Absolution/Blood Money bundle on sale a few weeks ago and played the shit out of those and now this last week I played Hitman 1/2 which I also got on sale and I’ve been having a blast with all of them. I’ll probably be a regular in these threads now.
Ahem.
FUCK MAGIC
FUCK WITCHES
AND FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK ASSASSINS
Which gameplay diffrences are you pointing at? Becasue i cant see jack shit being diffrent by playing a woman
Would look too much like Snake
There’s too many enforcers in Bangkok. There I said it.
>executive briefcase MkII
f-finally
I think if they cared about sending marketing people to this Mongolian knitting forum IOI rather would create logical editions for their content or release the DLC levels separate from expansion pass or gold edition.
btw, new episode of the 4 part Hitman documentary available now.
Bangkok is a shit level anyway
The only negative thing about it is the empty Queen's suit and the blocked off parts on the ground floor left hand side.
How do you guys feel about Hitman compared to Assassins Creed? I hope there’s a future Hitman game with huge cities like Assassins Creed where you research your target and eventually kill them all in one big sandbox level, similar to the process in Assassin’s Creed 1 and 2 but not split up into objectives that are explicitly told to you.
Imagine entering a dark gritty city and then having to fend for yourself to find out how to get near the target and where they even are. You could maybe even purchase a hotel room across from the where the target is and snipe them from your window.
>we'll never get another hotel level because Bangcock exist
this level fucking stinks
what is our verdict?
Assassin's Creed was a waste of concept, should've went closer to Hitman
I haven’t played this game, but how does dlc or unlockable costumes work? Wouldn’t they just blow your disguise immediately?
they are classified as "suits". Which means they are the same as any suit you start a mission with.
I need levels with elevators. I fucking love elevators both in real life and in video games. Being able to get a kill, run around the corner and hop in an elevator to effectively disappear is the best feeling. They really should have had one in bangkok. They even have elevator shafts in other levels but no elevator.
Why did the prison map have to be a sniper level? It could've been so kino as a proper level.
freedom fighters 2 soon
All of them would be great normal levels.
And the shitty route and that most of the action takes place in a restricted area and that you have to stay in the cake room for Jordan to actually eat it. Took me around three tries to understand that.
errr, I dont think Ill ever wear those.
any sfm diana burnwood?>
yes
>Not going on a knockout spree as trashbag phantomas
whatever happened to the loli from absolution?
They retconned the whole thing, user.
Are escalations canon?
How do I get these?
you need to create an IOI account and link it. You have to decide if it's worth handing them out your e-mail address.
Hey buddy I think you got the wrong door
the bonus mission (that came with the bank) was very obviously a repurposed elusive target. seems we won't get any elusives on the new maps until after the resort is out, my guess is that one will include a bonus level set in Whittleton
>only able to wear women's disguises
>all armed NPCs are male
They'd have to re-do every single level.
Whats the best sniper rifle and how do I unlock it?
Got Hitman 2 gold with all the legacy stuff
this desu, its a shame really.
care to show me :)
the ghost 300 and you have to do the escalation on the Marrakesh night map.
the seiger 300 ghost. Subsonic, 4x zoom, supressed and you can hold breath. You get it by completing the escalation on marrakesh (night) - a house built on sand. There is no reason at all to not use it unless your goal is to make a target panic by shooting them in the foot.
no
wathcing the noclip documentary right now and most of the head developers are all female...
>300 Ghost
More importantly, it's the most aesthetic rifle
>Show 6 devs in total so far
>3 of them are female
>most
It's like you are looking for things to be mad about.
wow, turns out women can make great games and gender matters fuck all, right user?
It doesn't play Ave maria when you zoomed in so it's nono to me
Wait which guns do this???
;)
WA2000 is 47s signature sniper rifle. The 300 ghost is just an upgraded variant, so it's the canon choice.
>sells 10 times less than Absolution
Wow what a success congrats ladies!!!
The Sieger 300 Advanced does when zoomed in
>sells 10 times less than Absolution
Based. Absolution is the GOAT.
making up stuff doesn't really proof you point. ;)
now you're just being silly
You can't say he's not wrong, though. Hitman has a lot more than than the 1 in India that was out of place. The best written female target they did was the scientist in Sapienza. She actually behaved like a female. All the other women targets acted like men with tits and just didn't belong. Like the woman training terrorists in tactical maneuvers in Colorado. A terrorist cell. All men. All terrorist rebles being trained by a woman. No.
:(
I know this autistic guy that watches YouTube videos of elevator enthusiasts visiting old elevators around the country. He watches them for hours every day. Just sayin.
and still you can kill them.
>can't holster the bank shotgun anymore
literally what's the point of it now
they will revert it with the next update
and then kick 47 out of hitman franchise, right? fuck off schlomo
SOMEONE PLEASE POST SOME DIANA BURNWOOD
Incel hunting missions when?
Let's talk about pistols. What's your go-to? I hear most people use the Silverballer as standard equipment. But, I've never used a pistol other than the Krugermeier 2-2 ever since I unlocked it. And it was the first unlock I went for when 2018 came out (Then the Ghost, of course). It's the only pistol that is completely 100% silent. I don't see the appeal in the Silverballer except for a few tactical uses, like shooting the heart in Hokkaido's morgue. If you don't need super-precision or firepower, the Krugermeier trumps every other gun the game due to it's shots being truly non-detectable
>I found the girl.
>Can you get her out?
>Some of her. Enough for a positive ID.
Sapienza was one already.
Whatever looks best with my outfit. I wish they would add a little more variety. At least give us a revolver or a Deagle brand Deagle or something.
Was subject 6 and the Romania stuff hinted at at all in the original Hitman?
So we love Absolution now? Really?
Subject 6 wasn't. Romania wasn't just hinted at, it was the first and last level of the first game, in the intro video of Hitman 2, and the first level of Hitman Contracts.
most of situations when I use my pistol, it requires super-precision that's why I prefer silverballer over krugermeier. it's just so damn accurate.
Krugermeier, mostly, and sometimes Chrome or Black Lilly. It triggers my autism that there is no silver-colored lockpick.
>can get black pistol, lockpick and coin
>can get golden pistol, lockpick and coin
>can get silver pistol and coin, but no lockpick.
Romania stuff was an actual level in the original game, Subject 6 is new.

At least it was, before they closed the restaurant.
When you compare the new game to it negatively, dumbass (great game != successful one).
And not only that, but you also did it with sales, which is always a stupid way to compare things. By that metric Transformers is a great series of movies, fuckwad.
It had a different look in TM2 though
I kind of like episodic format but I don't want them to do it because it's a bad marketing strageity
Shame the Krugermeier isn't a proper color like black or silver.
I just take the Silverballer due to it being 47's signature gun.
Black Lily for me. Or that special one that cannot be detected.
man of taste
HITMAN is basically just blood money 2. If those women have anything to do with that, then bless them.
Hallo newfriend
I see you carried your reddit mindset over here but criticizing something doesn’t mean you don’t like that something. IO made a great game and then failed to sell it. The consequence will be that Hitman 3 will use the same engine, assets and also won’t have any proper cgi cutscenes just like Hitman 2 didn’t. As a Hitman fan that worries me because I want the game to evolve and change, I don’t want them to just release map packs, I want actual sequels. But seeing how sales aren’t that great and everybody still being confused about the whole silver/gold/expansion pass bullshit, IO isn’t doing very well
Hitman 2 sold well enough for them to open a new studio in Sweden.
Whats the best rampage weapon?
It really isn’t
It desperately tries to, but then throws the whole “follow the path and kill the target” shit at you. And if you disable that, you won’t be able to find and activate the routines of the targets. At least in the older games they would do the whole routine so that you can observe them and kill when the moment is right. Now you have to activate them. Pretty crappy system
Virgin Mumbai chad Marrakesh
Depends what ammo the people you're killing are using. For the isle, for example, it'd be that silenced Dak X2 that can be tucked away (not carried on back) since all the elite guards use SMGs.
>rating marakesh
Im still fucking mad the managed to fuck up such an interesting locale. They better give it another shot with a Gulf state mission.
Obvious investment from WB. You can’t find a place, employees and do all the paperwork to open a new studio just in a matter of 2 months using the money from the sold games
If you're doing it correctly, and nesting into a small area to taper the crowd to you so you're not exposed to heavy gunfire, you want the loudest fucking gun you can find because it 'pulls' more guards. If you use silenced weapons, the guards will stop coming as soon as you kill the last runner. If you step out to spray bullets to draw in more, they won't be able to follow the trail if it's silenced.
I normally use whatever gun is laying around because trying to keep up with the 'good' gun I brought in is a pain in the ass since you have to pick up other guns for ammo then drop them. It's more trouble than it's worth for murder-runs. The silenced shotgun and SMG, though, definitely have uses in escalations and contracts. Just pointless for mass-murder unless you're trying to do it semi-stealth
Gulf State? Was there a leak implying the next dlc map? I thought it would have been the Maldives from what we saw in the roadmap and the pamphlet in New York
Hitman: Blood Money is the best hitman game prove me wrong
>Obvious investment
lol, you know all industry works this way?
That NEW studio with it's NEW employees are making Hitman 3. The CURRENT studio responsible for 2018 is working on a new IP.
Chew on that. Enjoy H3.
I still haven't beaten Mumbai because whenever I load the level it's full of Pajeets and I can smell it through the computer screen. Fuck 3rd world maps.
Dubai with hypermodern shopping mall with indoor skiing, connected to part of the old town would be a great oppertunity.
>be in Bangkok
>lawyer says it literally smells like fish
keks
Mumbai > Marrakesh though
Yeah, next map will be maledives. Gulf state would be my suggestion as a marrakesh redux (but actually good).
epic!
It's clear a lot of time and detail went into Mumbai, for it is absolutely the least comfy Hitman level. It has no real organized layout. There's trash and clutter everywhere. Half the guards pull guns on you just for being white. I hated that place.
there's so many notes to read and conversations to overhear that it seems more designed without the hints in mind, if you ask me.
consider that in the mission "you better watch out" in BM, the target in the hot tub doesn't move AT ALL, unless you spice the drink that makes him move to the bedroom. in the new hitman that would've been a mission story, a thing you can hide so that it plays like classic Hitman.
Night Marrakesh is home tho
who's your most hated nu hitman target? mines abbiati because hes a greedy fuck who exploits his own people just for his own personal gain. i enjoyed every single one of the kills on him. especially impaling him on the church spike. silvio did nothing wrong
Mumbai is probably the easiest saso mission in Hitman 2
Hitman 2 sales have nothing to do with the Sweden studio opening
Jordan Cross probably
I find it hard to hate them, they all feel so comically evil. Maybe the Washington Twins if I had to pick, mainly cause the all the doomsday prepping rich fucks in Sgail.

And to think it only takes a few little clicks.
I usually kill him by having him kill Ken and then shove out the window right after
casual tourist
Yes please, can we also get a re-release of the original for all modern systems?
Rangan is an asshole, but he's funny. He gets points for that alone.
The Washingtons are typical bitchy sorority girls who think they're hot shit despite being carried to the top by daddy's money. They're more like caricatures of the nouveau riche members than characters in their own right. Janus is pretty cool though.
Ken Morgan is the worst character for being such a boring target. Dexy should've been the second target but the shove should still be in as an easter egg
You wouldn't tap this bitch?
Tap that buzzcut with a shotgun
So that means the speech was brainstormed by multiple people, right?
how can an adult person have such an untidy handwriting?
why did you lie to me?
Have you been to the doctor recently?
That's the same handwriting so more likely just lost the black marker
It only works if the NPCs were knocked out 'accidentally', similar to target accident kills. Sedating them with a tranq gun works as well.
does anyone know how to unlock El matador?
when i shoot the target people will obviously hear the gunshot, but i have to get SA with it somehow
Would MGS V improve if Kojimbo used episodic format of nu-Hitman and actual level design and shit?
I don't remember how i did it exactly but i shot the target after dragging him under a closet and hiding him immediately.
lure him into the tunnel nearby the box shoot him and hide his body in the box escape via boat
ez
Lure that gringo near the box, knock him out, drag him next to the box, shoot him in the head and quickly dump him in the box.
China DLC when?

Guys I love the Hitman series. Hitman 2 Silent Assassin is my personal fave, even though that seems to be an unpopular opinion on Yea Forums, probably cause Blood Money is much more polished and newbie-friendly.
My question is, for such a brilliant and proven formula, why aren't there more genre clones of Hitman? It's not really at all similar to traditional stealth games and stealth mechanics, but it's such a great formula, using disguises as a form of getting past barriers and memorising disguise/item locations and NPC walk paths to knock them out and steal their disguises. Why aren't there more genre clones of Hitman?
gotcha! I thought i was smart by luring him to the radio the first time, but that wasn't enough obviously. Second time I thought making him drop down in the lake was the intended way
The ((((((((bank manager))))))). Providence themselves are pretty much a shoe-in for Jews, I don't know how based dane bros got away with it.
Any morgue starting points, and any runs where you're just after challenges and have no regard for getting a good score.
The lake technique is only possible if you get rid of all the neighboring guards.
And this escalation will get a lot more annoying for you in the next two missions
there was a couple of games that tried copying the Hitman, but i personally think that this type of game is very hard to develop and sell. It's a very niche game genre.
There was also this
There is some shitty Slav hitman knockoff and some indie shit that some people played on twitch, Slater was the name iirc
Dishonored 2 DLC reminded me of Hitman with face magic mechanic.
no, wait. I lured him into the tunnel and shot him, i stood right under the gate in the tunnel, still got a "gunshot heard" notification.
This mission is very delicate, wouldn't be so bad if i had to restart it every time
Explains very little. But thanks for posting.
Gunshot heard does not void the SA rating. Protip: Turn on the SA rating icon in options.
>the elusive target symbols are present in both of their video briefings
There wasn't a very good attempt to hide the fact. It's embarrassing, considering the season pass initially promised 'bonus missions'. Then they shift the names to 'special assignments' and hope nobody cares.
i've been playing this shit for three years and didn't know this was a thing
Anyone complaining about difficulty being too easy in the last two games probably never bothered to turn off the training wheels. If you refuse the handholding and don't save scum, the games are actually still quite challenging.
I know, it turns read which means it can still be salvaged. I always run towards the exit just in case.
Must be a glitch then? I mean I have the striker which is essentially the same so it's no big deal
It is hard to develop. IO themselves imply that much in the noclip documentary.
As for why it doesn't sell, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that most people who play games these days are too retarded to handle a pure sandbox. One thing I love about Hitman is that it exposes how terrible most people are at video games. It's physically painful to watch playthroughs of the game done by casual players as without guidance it's clear they have no idea what they're doing. My theory is that Rockstar games wouldn't sell as well if it wasn't for their linear mission design.
If you kill the target after it spotted you, it compromises SA or not?
it has only been added recently
It doesn't compromise because the target will be dead anyway
no
As long as they don't tell anyone, you're fine.
If it turns red it means you lost SA rating.
When it's green you're all good
What kind of clear info do you think you're missing out on?
What was stopping you from the previous purchase?
IOs marketing had been a massive cluster fuck, and they done very little to address it. That image i hoped drew lines around content, but it still needed an FAQ to decipher.
Pacify everyone
No, but I feel it's not a clean kill and often restart.
ah ok. Well i got SA now so it was probably just me doing it wrong. Tried doing a close up kill behind his back and it worked
You can sometimes salvage a red though.
They REALLY need an orange to tell you you've currently blown SA but can save it, red should only be for you can't recover it at all.
Abbiati is pretty deplorable yeah. I'd say the three Delgados is who I feel no remorse for - power hungry assholes that do nothing but exploit the local populace and sell cocaine to fuel their little empire. Death by the falling statue is so comical it almost feels like something out of Tropico.
Does anyone know is the Hitman HD trilogy is backwards compatible with the Xone? I know Blood Money and Hitman 2 are BC but i don't know if the 2 discs in the trilogy itself work
I like that Rico Delgado is practically the opposite to Fernando Delgado from BM in terms of personality. Fernando was this quiet old man with a butterfly collection and a cello in his old vineyard mansion, whereas Rico is this loud mouthed, aggressive gangster living in a gaudy modernist mansion with flashy sports cars and a pet hippo.
I like how the levels reflect the target's personality in some way.
I'm going to be honest here; I liked Absolution. Sure, it wasn't the greatest Hitman title, and he did appear a little bloated, but it was still fun. The level where you're navigating the apartments full of hippies, and weed, in the middle of a raid, was cool.
im here to see joseph clarence
Never heard of him.
I've used 'Tobias Rieper' on holiday when Im making casual conversation with people Ill never see again anyway.

He has eyebrows, so he obviously can.
Also, there was a discarded idea for hobo 47 in Absolution, with a full beard and long scraggily hair.
NAMES ARE FOR FRIENDS, SO I DON'T NEED ONE
This isn't a place though, it's the Providence VR chat.
WHERE'S MY FUCKING MUMBAI ET I WANT THE IMPERIAL SUIT REEEEEEEEEEEE
I thought the point of 47 being bald was that he would leave no hair as dna evidence (Ignore eyebrows lol) so he can't grow a beard
>Knock out everybody in Rangan tower, and drag their asses to the fan
>Couldn't get everybody blown into water
>Ended up just pushing their bodies over the ledge into one giant pile

I now have a congo line of eight guards going back and forth with the bodies. The pile never end.
Absolution is my favorite hitman
The npc models look like shit
Hot take: Absolution Suit with the Tie Clip is the best suit
>ICA electrocution phone still counts as an accident
who at IO thought this was a good idea?
I noticed this pattern with Escape from Tarkov threads as well.
Hot take indeed
What is your favorite suit then?
Signature suit with gloves
That's...the same suit without the tie clip
GOLDBALLER
SOON!
>Romanian larping as a Texan
Cringe
Exactly.
*clink*
Why do you hate Tieclips user, they come in handy for someone who has to hunch over as much as 47
Is that real? They're not seriously adding even more redundant pistols are they?
Huh?
What was that?
>Dexy should've been the second target
You're right. She had like 10 times the character Morgan did and an actual routine.
Reminder that the real Dawood Rangan is still out there
And with a $25 million bounty on hi head
Hey uhh, we might have a situation here. Going to check out this empty room with a shady looking bald guy staring at me.
If only they would remove the [2] guns.
Exactly. They're not part of a suit. A proper heavy tie (silk) will always stay perfectly in place. No need for a children's aid. It's just all around awful. The only acceptable pieces of men's jewelry are cufflinks and a watch. And if you really must a wedding ring, I suppose. 47 is superautistic about dressing well, so he wouldnt wear a tie clip (unless it was part of a disguise).
It was dug up by dataminers looking for shit about the resort dlc
well, you have been trained to do it.
Silverballer. It's his signature gun.
Last time I played for an extended period of time (which was about a month ago, not counting playing the new dumb sniper map), I farmed out getting the Krugermeier, so I'll probably start using that more. But I hate the way it looks. I wish they instead had a weapon mod system so I could put the complete silence trait on the Silverballer
Imagine playing as the female but instead of getting shot you get raped by the guards haha

Thats not the purpose user. A heavy tie will never reveal the back end (thin part) of a tie.
I don't really like the sterile artstyle. Everything feels soulless.
I honesly prefer the exit mission song from nuHitman
Uh user, the tie clip prevents your tie from dragging across the floor or a table when leaning forward, it's not there to keep the back end behind the front, that's what the small loop is for.
Have you ever actually worn a tie?
>realistic locations are sterile now
OK kid.
Wait a minute, according to the dev website, I can't buy the physical game used for cheap because I need that bonus episode voucher for xbone to get the remastered H1 or am I understanding it wrong? Game is too expensive otherwise.

I like the clip, but the full gloves are better. Pic related is my favourite in terms of fashion, although coat physics are always trouble.
Rico is a chav that gets his hands dirty. Andrea is the face (Also if I read intel correctly, cousin of Rico) and Franco is the brains of making the cocaine work and be highly addictive.
All three deserve their deaths but Rico the most. Feeding him to his pet hippo is poetry.
>Only now just realized the extraction theme is very map is different when near an exit
Neat.
How come so many people have run into physics issues? I never had those.
>Wearing that to Marrakesh or Sapienza
if only they made a proper level to wear it on. There's a couple bonus missions, and that's it.
>favourite outfit when it comes to fashion
>meaning I'd wear it all year round from arctic temperatures to desert locations
Your image is strangely appropriate to your post.
How does a Gold bar to the head not kill someone?
All the time. The little loop is just a backup. If the fabric is heavy the rear part of your tie will basically be 'glued' to the front and will never show. Also, you've highlighted exactly why tieclips are shit. You shouldn't ever have to bend over floor or table. Thats blue collar stuff. Ties are merely devices to hide the buttons on your shirt. It's a means of having blue collar workers wear something they're not supposed to. Now I dont really believe in that class distinction of course, but that's how suits and ties evolved.
:O
>not wearing the winter coat from the Hokkaido Snow Festival to Sapienza
Get on my level.

It wouldn't work.
I know there's SFM porn of Victoria and I know there's a model of Diana but I can't remember if there's SFM of it.
Isle of Sgail comes closest. Especially when doing a Sniper Assassin run.
Do you think 47 has a big pp?
He has a pp?

That's dumb and financially retarded though
I got the expac pass when it was like 65% on sale, felt a little jewed but i wouldn't mind some extra money going their way.
pay $10 on keysites for the season pass
Would be pretty weird to have it missing. People might notice. Then again, noone seems to notice his shiny dome or barcode either.
You'll be paying about 15 quid on legit keysites.
Just pirate if you are using shady sites.
Just wait till the steam sale if you're cheap
How do I obtain 47’s body? I’m bald too and have identical eyes, similar to Daniel Craig. I want to look like a killer.
no I won't because those "shady" sites you talk about are just selling legit keys from non region locked market places
nobody falls for the lies anymore
This one is bad. Really bad. Death to Spies at least had a unique ideas.
You need to be genetically enhanced for starters
How do I achieve thiis?
you know Im right user
Do you guys think a secret assassin agency did or does exist in modern history?
SS + GOMAD
Yes. It's called JSOC.
You need to be at 10% body fat and with a bmi of 25, so pretty muscular with defined face. A normal brosplit would get you on modern 47 level in about 7-8 months, 2+ years for Contracts 47.
Yes, but they're usually government affiliated. PMCs are the closest you get to neutral parties that kill for money.
I hope they add money and weapon customisation back in Hitman 3. I’m tempted to nag them about like an autist, but I’m not sure how to give them feedback.
Is the Bank mission free or do I have to shell bux for it
Looks like John Wick on chemo.
I wonder how Payday 2's Assets mechanic would fit in Hitman.
In Payday 2 during the planning phase you could spend cash to place certain objects in the level, open doors or remove security guards from certain areas of the map.
>always online
no thanks, I'll stick to BM
If you have the Gold or Silver Edition, it's free. Otherwise you have to pay for it.
It costs money. It's a good level, and hopefully the upcoming Resort is of similar quality, but probably not worth the full price. Wait for a sale or go gray market imo
>in library
Well hell. I guess I'll see you boys on the bank floor.
It's not a big deal really
Crispr-Cas9 x 5
They should introduce binoculars again to stalk the targets.
Agent 47 has a contract on you. How would you die?
>my office chair mysteriously explodes into my rectum
I miss the dark and grungy atmosphere of Blood Money and Contracts
Don't get me wrong, I love the new games, but even Absolution felt more in line with the "agent 47 is a Hitman and not a nice guy" compared to the "Agent 47 is a jetsetting James Bond who only kills very very very evil people and Russian spies"
Propably poisoned while cooking
It is a big deal.
It's a scummy practice for a SP.
There are very few features in game that actually need internet connection, instead of just being retarded DRM that is very easy to bypass.
Always online=always on life support.
But the jetsetting is the best part! I would like to see some more ambigious targets though. Last one was probably the one from BM tutorial level.
Struck by a heartattack during one of my runs.
There's a cliff just 20m form my doorstep (mountain village).
But 47 might subvert expectations and build one of those masturbation death machines or something.
But not all your targets in the new games are evil
Caruso, Cross, the Knoxxes can't really be described as "evil", for example
Caruso and Cross probably also count
>who only kills very very very evil people and Russian spies
An actor who has become too expensive for his producers? (The Icon)
An architect trying to switch company (A House Built on Sand)
There aren't many "good" targets.
In Contracts there is only guy in biker gang basement and police officer in last mission.
In BM he has to kill some innocents in graveyard sequence.
That boxart is truly one of the greatest, severely underrated
>'47? user seems to have an unusual amount of phallic shaped vegetables lying around his house. DNA analysis revealed a minute amount of the target's feces on a number of these objects. Hmm, maybe vegetables can kill after all?'
Fair points all, I admit I was wrong
I'm playing through absolution right now, and comfortably kino. remove the instinct shit, and it's a pretty good game with a cool grindhouse vibe to it.
Zucchini can be poisonous.
I keep saying it: Absolution is a shitty Hitman game but still a very enjoyable Murder Simulator.
I get what you mean.
Even the 'good' targets are linked to the big baddy organization and are presented as shaddy as fuck in the introduction briefings.
Previous titles felt much more raw in terms of you massacring someone with minimum information after the agency sends you a name, address and picture, sometimes barely pretending to give a backstory.
btw the Summer Suave Suit doesn't count as a default suit, so maybe I shouldn't have used it when going for SASO Master in Colorado :^)
IOI is working on a new game besides Hitman season 3 but have they said if it's a new IP or not?
I mean they're right, thinking back even Codename 47 has you just killing arms dealers, triads and people selling tactical nukes, so the James Bond comparison held true there as well. Still the combination of darker lighting and the symbolism all had almost Horror game vibes, compared to the squeaky clean PG-13 new games
some people speculate it may be a Freedom Fighters sequel.
You can massacre anyone you want in contract mode.
Report this as a bug somehow, user.
Imagine thousands of other people making the same mistake
The Knoxxes I liked. I dont understand how you are supposed to view Robert Knoxx as a bad guy. I like that he is actually a genius and knows the science behind all his stuff. Also his constant micro managing was a nice character flaw of his. He never outright felt like an asshole though.
It's not so much in terms of the affairs of the targets as in presentation.
You'd think people connected enough to get top ICA agents out would only pick sensible targets from their perspective, especially with the pricetag. It's expected most contracts will be big criminals killing the competition rather than butchering local family man.
But the older titles felt darker in their approach. Tm sometimes give an anti-terrorist vibe to the ICA.
Watching Funhaus beat this game prolonged my lifespan by about 30 years, I'm sure
youtu.be
He produced and sold drones that the pseudo-North Koreans used to wipe out a village.
murder nuns were unironically cool, and in keeping with the wackiness of older hitman games.
also, I liked the bloom, and colours. new hitman is so fucking sterile.
Thats a good explanation and it also made me realise whats bugging me: If the ICA takes any contract and Agent 47 has literally no moral compass "I can do whatever I am paid to" how come theres not a single mission where you take out some honest politician or chief of police whos doing Corruption investigation or a mission where you are basically commiting domestic terrorism.
Also the last game with Dual Silverballers for going HAM
Business is business, he just sold the technology and he's not responsible for how it was used
A few of the targets in the first four titles felt this way.
Also the TM introduce a lot of shady bullshit just for the sake of making the contract seem ambiguous. Like Sapienza. Developing a super duper science fiction biovirus is totally unnecessary to the mission design. The guy could just have been working on say, stem cell research in his basement and the mission would have been about a competitor afraid of losing its edge. Or even if linked to providence, it might have been just to financially damage them.
He doesn't get killed for it anyway. Providence orders the ICA hit on the Knoxs because they are deflecting to Lucas Grey's group.
I fail to see an issue with that. You sell drones to be used. He didnt sell them to a terrorist group either (like our own fucking traitorous weapons dealers who own Congress do, the faggots), but a government, so by all accounts no one should hold the Knoxxes responsible for what a government used their weapons for.
They said a ‘new IP’ in a recent interview. But they also mentioned still owning Freedom Fighters and not Kane & Lynch. There was also a Freedom Fighters Easter egg in the bank level.
