Motherfucking ballers. I use to play the first mission over and over just dragging the daddy and son onto the roof around the pool. I'd then shoot their dead bodies with the ballers and send them flying into the stratosphere all the way to the delivery guy's truck.

I think gameplay wise Blood Money is objectively the best in measurable standards, but Hitman 2 will always be my favourite.

I only played through it the one time I think, cause it was hard as fuck, and unfortunately I got spoiled the major spoiler, but I might run through it again now that it's on GOG.
I remember really liking the level where you had to kill that Chinaman in the tower, which was like three levels before you could get the payoff. First you had to break in to the compound, then the tower, then climb the tower, then escape I think.
>>340641241
Wish it had Contracts sneaking speed.

yeah ill take blood money or contracts anyday

>>340641241
Blood Money was extremely poslished as a Hitman game
Contracts had the best soundtrack
Silent Assassin had amazing levels
>>340644052
i dont even know what way to walk without getting fucked by snipers and guards and i dont wanna look up a guide
>>340644242

>>340644076
I'm surprised anyone played that shitfest long enough to notice the soundtrack.
>>340644242
Well you have binoculars
The only hard part about that mission is trying to get SA since a couple of parts in the run can bug.
I beat Hitman 2 years ago and liked it. Tried going back last week.... fuck up, restart mission, fuck up, restart mission, fuck up, restart mission. Really can't put up with this kind of game but the plot was awesome,
>>340644993
Not as bad as Hitman 1. Had to savestate after every bullet I managed to plug into Scarface in that one level.
>>340645170
I really can't stand the amount of save scumming involved in these games. Metal Gear Solid 5 actually had bullet time which I think is perfect for these kind of games. Alas

I barely hear anybody talking about the new Hitman game, even though I think it's pretty good. Releasing one level each month is silly, but the game itself is pretty good and much, much closer to what a Hitman game wants to be than Absolution.

We've had quite a few threads about it on /v/. They're not 500 reply threads, but they do exist. Also, Hitman 6 talk tends to derail any talk about the old Hitman games nowadays.Sapienza > Paris > Marrakesh > Military Base > The Yacht
>>340647242
I have no idea how anyone could think Silent Assassin is the best game. It's very nostalgic for me because it's the first game I played in the series and it's what got me into the series to begin with, but Contracts, Blood Money and 6 just annihilate it. Silent Assassin has a few excellent levels and quite a bit of mediocre to outright garbage levels. From Contracts on is when the series learned what levels suit Hitman best and worked on improving level design.
The only thing I think Silent Assassin is best with is the soundtrack.
>>340647470
What do you think about the Opportunity mechanic in Hitman 6? I kinda like that they came up with so many different ways to distract or kill your target, but actually doing an opportunity feels too much like you're just being railroaded from one step to the next. I wish they would be less obvious and require a bit more work, because so far I find just following an opportunity to be the easiest and safest way to kill your target.
>>340646851
literally all of them, m8.
>>340647746
some of them require some work. a lot of time it's 'get disguise X' and all they give you is the person wearing such a disguise, you still have to figure out a way to get him quietly so you can take his disguise.
>>340647746
I have literally every option in the gameplay menu turned off. It's the equivalent of Professional difficulty, which is how I always played the other Hitman games.
From what I've seen in gameplay videos, the opportunity system outright spells out the obvious and tells you what to do in every single step to get an easy assassination going. It's insane that it's turned on by default.

Good taste my friend, I wish I didn't run out of Hitman games to play.Absolution doesn't exist.
>>340649449
6 does, though. And it's great. Sapienza is top tier.
>>340649545
6 is shit.
>>340641241
But you didn't post blood Money.
>>340649702
It's really good.
>>340641730
>FAVOURITE MISSION :
Sapienza. Extremely varied, lots of approaches, targets are well rounded and interesting.
>FAVOURITE WEAPON :
The rubber duck in H6 . I mean, its a fucking explosive rubber duck.
>FAVOURITE HITMAN GAME
Silent Assasin , even if I suck ass there sometimes.
>FAVOURITE KILL
Pushing the fat redneck to his grave in BM , on the wedding mission. I just found that hilarious
>>340649702
6 is somewhat ehh in many areas, but its the first Hitman game imo that made the enviorment feel real and interactive. It felt akward the lack of NPC talk and how everything felt .... idk, robotic and too much strict.
Hitman 6 , in the terms of being a enviorment you visit and infiltrate, and looks/feels real, t nails that.
*AbsolutelyShit does not exist btw.
Why do you faggots hate this game so much?
>>340650658
It may not be a good game but it sure isn't the worst one.

Replacing prop gun with real one in BM's opera mission.
I would agree that objectively BM is the superior game, but parts of it seem a bit soulless to me, like the animations and the models, just a tad too robotic and uncanny valley. SA is my favorite as well, though probably because it was the first Hitman game I played and it completely blew my mind back then.

Ok nigger, you triggered me.

>Ran smooth as butter
>Decent OST (Get Kyd for fucks sake IO)
>Throwing objects and using the things you find was a welcome addition
>Drag/hide functions were great
>Looked ok, too many flares tho
CONS
>Mechanically broken. Disguises were a waste of time, trying to examine the level was near impossible without checking you were not close to someone that could detect you were not Jeff from the station
>CHECKPOINTS. LINEARITY
>Story is filled with characters that do not fit the style and values of the series
>Contracts was shit due to small, restricted levels
>Shooting / killing non-targets was almost encouraged due to the way enemies could easily detect you and the way the instinct worked
>Harder difficulties are cheap as fucking a balloon with a smiley face painted on
>Instinct looked awful and the "mana" meant you couldnt blend in for too long, meaning you had to either kill and change disguise a lot, or just SASO all the time
>The way the game used the story to make levels NOT based around target killing was almost an insult to the idea of man hit
>>340650658
/v/ told me to before it even came out
and since i'm such a tool, i listened
I often feel like I should give another try to Contracts. When I played it back on release it kind of overwhelmed me with colossal maps that I had no hope of trying to SA-rank, and at the same time I was annoyed with nonsesical attempt at story and the return of first game's levels gave me association with how clunky it was.
YOU DZONT WONT DZE JACKET ZER?
>>340652072
DESU, Blood Money was the first Hitman game with controls that werent so shit.
>>340651665
Spot on basically. Who decided on turning it into a linear series of missions with a dog shit story? Who decided anyone cares about some psuedo-Bourne cookie cutter action plot? WHO IS THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR COSTUMES NOT DISGUISING YOU?

>>340641241
>greatest level design
Bullshit.
The game has a huge problem with wasted space and potential
You have no reason to go into the lawyer's office in Anathema, nor can you do anything interesting with the Don's son. Then you have shit like Invitation To A Party, where the streets around the embassy have nothing in them.
All the games from Contracts onwards have much better level design.
>>340641241
DENUVO
There is the reason, why I don't give a fuck
>>340650658
the thought a lot of people seem to have is that it was too linear for a Hitman game. I don't disagree, but I still enjoy the hell out of the game.
