What exactly is it about Blood Money that people like so much? I've never seen any threads talking about the first three Hitman games, and I've only ever seen hatred/indifference for Absolution.
What is it about Blood Money that makes it the best Hitman game?

It wasn't perfect, but the missions were basically "kill this guy" and either make it look like an accident, or do it however you want. That's it, no other dorection. So the levels were puzzles that you had to figure out for yourself, with many ways to complete. There were no spidey-sense hints, no popup tips, just your own exploration and trial and error...y'know...a game.

Also, tons of levels and variety.
It's easier than the older ones, and is more cartooney/memey.
TL;DR Silent Assassin is better.

SNIPER HAS ACQUIRED TARGET
>>329243987
try playing all the games and comparing them with each other yourself.
Contracts is better than BM imo.
It's a puzzle stealth game in little sandbox.

Are the PC ports good? I'm playing Blood Money and it doesn't even seen to have 1080p support.

actually educate yourself
It's the most casual game in the series, that's why
>>329246983
Alright, so it began as a PC exclusive. I didn't realize that, seeing how Blood Money has such shit options.
>>329246860
>Are the PC ports good?
Yes.
Silent Assassin won't run properly in widescreen, though.
Can't remember if Contracts can or not.
>I'm playing Blood Money and it doesn't even seen to have 1080p support.
Which version are you running? Retail or Steam? If you have the Steam then there's no reason for no 1080p.
If you have retail, double check and make sure you have the latest patch installed.

Well the HD collection on PS3/360 does. Also usually for PC games there's always a fix, via editing the .ini file or just a modification.

Steam version. There's two options at launch, running the game and configuration options. It only gives me 3 resolution options and I think those are all 4:3.
>>329245390
YYYAAAMMMEEEHHH
>>329246860
They were made back in the day, when majority of PC users used 4:3 monitors.
But Blood Money should have 1920x1080 support.
But you should download widescreen patch anyway, in BM it increases fov.
Contracts on Steam should have native widescreen support. Outside of Steam it's bugged even when patched.
Also in BM, if you're going to use first person mode, disable post processings. For some reason they bugged it in 1.2 version.

I never got it working properly.
For me, the game itself ran fine, but the cutscenes would just never load, thus freezing the game.
I'm sure if I had saves for every level I could possibly get around it.
I don't mind playing in standard def as long as AA works.
it was the best one mechanically and had the most open ended maps
the other games were also great but they felt more linearly progressive i.e. you must pass through this area in order to get to the next one where as with blood money you could sort of just fuck off and explore the map however you wanted and in any order
I could list a bunch of examples of this but honestly you'd be better off just playing the game and replaying missions by taking COMPLETELY different routes improvising through stuff as you come across it, none of the other games in the series give you the same level of freedom
I did a suit only silent assassin run on professional and it was by and far the most fun I've ever had in any sort of stealth game bar none

>>329247448

Fighting Ninjas was fun.

The problem of high resolutions.

I never tried it from the main menu, only when I was in a level. Thanks guys.
Great levels, basicalyl huge puzzles, many different approaches.
I have finished every level on pro SA with almost all different regular methods of killing.
But I have also finished every level by getting my pimped M4 with double drums and just wasted every single mofo in the level.
And every single approach is viable, though guns blazing shouldn't be done until having finished the game with at least the second highest rating, else you won't have enough money for all the goodies.
Does the option to upgrade things unlock as you go the game, or do I have to do something specific?
>>329248382
Unlocks as you progress through the missions.
>>329248382
Every few missions you unlock new ones.
>>329248382
*through the game
