How ya'll enjoying Sapienza?
you can literally enter all those buildings
>>336064102
Bought this yersterday
Sapienza is good but Paris is.. kinda shit..
So when this came out we spent a while trying to figure out how to get the equip all disguises challenge done. I still don't have it, for now I think it is because I never actually finished the mission after getting the more rare ones. I did find this, though. Which I haven't seen anyone else do until now.

Where in the fuck does he hide an M1911 in the fucking bike spandex?

That dialogue line reminds me. Who is this sleeping guy the game implies would spot me walking around town in normal suit?
>>336065743
Pitbull's manager
This tops Paris for sure, Just did the loverboy thing with francesca and grinded up caruso.
>>336064102
Does this game have Denuvo?
>>336066015
Always online
I like it

Can you even do anything useful with all the mopeds around other than just be a dick?
>>336066193
They're more or less just for dicking around with the civilians or setting up elaborate contract kills. Great fun though.
>>336066074
I had that happen all the time in the Paris escalation mission where you had to kill the guy with the sword from the glass case. His hand would always get stuck inside the glass case and I would have to shoot it out to hide the body.
Also, the Italy escalation mission sucks. Literally no challenge. You do the same shit over and over and I get to the last part and the challenge is just that guards can detect all guards. Why would I ever disguise as a guard?
THERE IS LUIGI TOO! I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MARIO!
>>336066074
Kind of surprised they made the guard rail breakable, that's impressive.
>>336066658
Wasn't that mainly for when you let the church bell crash down?

>>336067021
Holy shit, I've passed by Luigi so many times. I always thought he was a gardener.
>>336067021
Speaking of which, where is the 6th crocodile? There is one in the sewer, two one beach, one in the gardener's bathtub, and one by a boiler under an apartment. Where is the last one?
>>336067347
Under the pier where the fishermen hang out

you're pretty slow then
Just got this level and it may be one of the best levels Ive ever played in a game. Felt bad killing Silvio, the fucking feels lads..

>>336067846
What do you mean? What should I have done?
Hey guys, what are the spec requirements like on this? Not running on a 4 slice toaster, but nothing too great either.
Can run MGSV at about Medium High no problem for a reference point I guess.

He's a delusional little Norman Bates shit who treats everyone around him like shit while he works on an assassin virus. What exactly are you feeling bad about?

running it on a 770, defaults me to low-mid settings, runs at a fairly steady 50 fps with the most notable drops coming when changing from one location to the next.

lmao
>>336068705
Tell me more about how you feel when it comes to killing, anon.
>>336068705
Sheit mang, iunno if I can, but I might give it a shot. Either way I'm getting a nicer computer in 2 or so months, might just wait it out.
>>336068576
I have to admit, these one-off targets get me excited. My attention is heightened, and I feel like I'm being briefed for a real mission, not just the next level of the game. Episodic release schedule aside, this was a 10/10 idea for the series.
>>336068576
I just don't like the sound of this only one chance gimmick. You can't afford to do anything but the safest "jewbait them into a quiet corner and silenced pistol" kill on them.
>>336068810
They actually manage to refrence pop culture without making me cringe, its amazing.
>>336069191
The big issue is everyone is just going to spoil themselves by watching letsplays to ensire they get the unlock
They should give people 3 tries i think
>>336069191
Assuming you treat the as an advanced end game after playing through the levels, and developing a grasp of the terrain, you have plenty of time to play out your strategy like a real hitman would. No one is forcing you do jump right in and only do the most boring, sure fire approach. You have days to plan out your hit. Get a white board, and start brainstorming, and then see if you came up with a viable plan. It will be even better if we can get some in-game scouting time to look at patterns and security routines.
I would agree that if all you get is like a 2 hour timed mission when you press 'go', that will make for a pretty shitty experience. If we're given hours to days to scout, plan, and execute, then it will be fun.
Does anyone have the pic comparing the graphics before and after the "optimizing" IO did for performance, like how the lighting and overall effects got worse?
>>336069449
God how gross. The only way I could see myself doing that is if I screw it up and just want to see how the mission was meant to go.
is the game worth $50 in it's current state?
>>336064102
"you're out there somewhere beer baron"
>>336064504
You are probably missing either the plumbers, or the Italian suit (default suit). You have to switch out of your suit then back into it for it to count.
>>336068381
i don't know, you can be faster than that though. i was always able to throw the sword into his head before he gets anywhere near the display case
>>336068576
I hate they are one shot only.
The contracts sound fun, and Hitman is all about replayability. I want to do them over and over in creative ways. Its like the devs missed the whole point of the series.
>>336069665
Pwople will tho.
>>336069526
Has the right idea. I think it would be a good idea to make it so the mission can be replayed as long as the target isnt alerted.
That way people can scout a few times. But tgey need to add back binoculars.
>>336069526
> No one is forcing you do jump right in and only do the most boring, sure fire approach.
Yes they are, since the missions are only offered for a limited time.
>>336069895

Have they fixed the AI in the game yet?
I played the pre-release demo and the npcs were so oblivious to everything and walking around like brainless robots. Made me cancel my pre-order because it just felt like ass.
>>336070325
Yes, and that's a good thing *providing* there is enough time to scout, and plan, and be generally methodical outside of the game before you do a hot run. At least for me, the potential for a high stakes planning stage is what separates these missions from the regular levels.
If the limited time levels turn out to only give us enough to time run in blind and make shit up as we go along, and hope it works, then it's a bad design.
>""""""optimization"""""" patch
>breaks launcher

>downgrades lighting, blood effects
BRAVO
>>336070435
Ive never played that but the ai is pretty good, only exception i can think of is no special reaction to throwing propane tanks
>>336069863
No as its unfinished, but if the other levels are as good, fuck yes this is the best hitman game
>>336070559
Fucking tragic

>>336070293
>>336069526
We don't know much of the specifics of how this will work. Those videos hint at a 48 hour window though. But I don't know if you'd be able to quit the missions and return to them, what would stop you from doing that if you screwed up?
>>336070684
Alright, I was on the fence, but the new mission looks good enough to buy it.
And everyone seems to have the same opinion that it feels like a top notch Hitman game which is good.
Why didn't they get the guy who made the trailer music to work on the OST? That shit was amazing

>Hitman is all about replayability. I want to do them over and over in creative ways
That's what the main missions, contracts, and escalations are for. I don't get why everyone is so assblasted about the idea of one extra mode that throws a serious challenge at you. Are you bad at video games?
Don't worry, you can fail some of them and still get the unlocks eventually. Nothing is tied to a single target. It's about accumulating wins.
So is the game badly optimized then? On more mainstream cards like the 960 or 370, can you get solid 30fps on medium at least?
>>336070910
He'll go and play golf occasionally. I left it there and continued on with the mission. Was closing in on the bitch when he suddenly blew up.
>>336071192
I'm running at a steady 50-60fps with everything except supersampling set to max, I've got a 980.
>>336071016
>that opening cinematic
Oh fuck man that got me hyped at the beginning.
IS THERE A COMFIER CITY IN VIDEOGAMES?
I fucking hate this bugged shit.
I've done all of these Escalations, plus the two tutorial ones, plus the two Italy ones, and still don't have the "10 escalations" feat and gun? This isn't Episodic, its Early Access.
>mfw the game actually turned it to be really good and not shit at all
>mfw I actually ended up liking the episodic structure because I didn't blow through the game in a weekend and have actually spent lots of time on all this optional shit
too bad it will sell like shit and there will never be a second season or a new hitman game
>>336071783
you never know. they might do another marketing campaign when this season is finished
>>336071716
Forgot pic
>>336071783
I'm pretty sure I heard rumors they were planning out Season 2 already.
>>336064102
Why does this game have the most obvious shilling campaigns ever made?
Is it at least better than Absolution?
It's pretty cool
>>336072045
The last they spoke of it, they said it depended on sales.
Sales have been abysmal for the game.
>>336072481
It would be very difficult for it not to be.
>>336072481
Not according to Steam reviews. Absolution has a much better recommend %
>>336073307
thats just people in a tiffy over optimization shit and episodic nature
the game itself is a solid 7/10 at worst, and a 9/10 at best
>>336073307
People with shit internet complaining about how it's constantly connected to the internet, it's not really surprising.
>>336071716
>>336071935
if tutorial escalations don't count (although I have no clue why they wouldn't) then that adds up to 9. Try one more and see if it unlocks?
Is it actually any good? I'm considering buying it right now.
I was extremely turned off originally because of the horrifically irritating shilling done for it, and because of how retarded Absolution is, but I have literally nothing to play.
>>336070559
works fine for me™
>>336073285

Can you?
i wish i could play this :^(
>>336064201
>>336073732
No, you can't.
maybe 10% of them
This mission was shorter than Paris. It took me 20 hours to 100% Paris. According to Steam, this only took me 9.
>>336073732
No. Not even close. There are like 5 apartments,some bottom floor cafes, a church, and the main mansion.
>Finish the two new escalation missions
>Look at the escalation menu
>The escalations I just completed have a checkmark
>The other ones I completed before don't
>Scores were wiped out
God fucking damn it. I thought I was done with this game until next Tuesday at least, now I HAVE TO finish these escalations too.8 down, 6 to go
>>336076368
It happens randomly. Sometimes the game just forgets every escalation you completed.
>next Tuesday
What's next Tuesday?
>>336067226
The exact same thing happened to me until I went on the shooting spree run to get all the suits.
I just bought the INTRO pack or whatever
Almost downloaded
Is that good?
Is the first DLC worth it?
Game good?
>>336073221
>Sales have been abysmal for the game.
How do you know? Steam sales + PS4 sales + XBone sales, not to mention this is still episodic and you can only really start counting all the sales when the whole game is done and they go for the second big marketing push.
Have faith, anon, I believe that word of mouth from the quality of this game will spread and help it.
>>336076458
They usually update the game on Tuesdays with new escalations. Possibly this time around they will add the elusive target.
>>336075513
also the 2 story fashion store tie-in to sanguine in paris, a morgue, and a law office
>>336076718
I think the game is good. If you enjoy what you play of the content from the intro pack, then Sapienza is definitely worth it. You should play what you have before you go thinking about buying a new level, though.
Also, don't forget you have 2 hours to refund if you don't like it.
I can't believe you guys bought this shit. Its not even a full game.
>>336077095
Good
I actually liked Absolution
It was just so painful to see its gameplay be wasted on story focused levels, some of which were short and awful
>>336077135
>going into a thread for a game you don't own to get mad at people for playing video games
>>336076458
>It happens randomly. Sometimes the game just forgets every escalation you completed.
It doesn't happen randomly at all, the reason why it happened was because they reset the scores and only added the checkmark feature now.
>>336077274
I just can't even believe it. How much is it per episode?
>>336077135
>Its not even a full game
It's not even full price, either. 25 bucks for the current content is well worth it.
>>336077135
Few games these days have more than 10 hours worth of gameplay anyway.
>47 IP's
$60 bucks for the "full experience". There's currently two levels.
>>336077883
For 60 bucks you get all the levels as they come out so you're basically pre-ordering them. But you can just pay 25 bucks for all the current content and not lose on anything at all. You're also only paying 5 more bucks in the long run.
Have they said anything about removing that always-online drm? No way I'm paying anwhere near full price with that shit.
>>336078054
They probably won't do it for a good long while, unfortunately.
I certainly do hope that, when they're done with the game and move on to working on something else, they have a patch to let you play all escalations, unlocks and shit like that offline. Just for the sake of preservation if nothing else. Would be a shame if all that content was lost when the servers inevitably went down.
>>336078054
What country do you live in where being always online is a problem, let alone where you'd be gaming?
>>336078225
To be fair, Always Online DRM was legitimately fucking shit when it straight up booted you to the main menu. If your internet flickered for even half a minute, you'd have to repeat the mission all over again.
It's not as egregious now that it just pauses the game and you can reconnect and go back to the spot you were, though.
>>336078225
I wouldn't care if I had access to the fastest, most stable Internet connection on the planet, I'm not very keen on supporting companies that put in anti-consumer bullshit like always-online DRM.
Is the law office always empty? Seems like wasted space, unless im missing something..
