Hitman series aside, what are some games where I can play as a hitman?

Killer 7
Resident Evil 4/5
Not really a hitman type game, but you can assassinate people in GTA V and Max Payne 3 with style
>>344325735
deus ex sorta, dishonored, alpha protocol

If by "hit-man" you mean a hired gun, then 7.62 High Calibre, perhaps? The game has such an array of tactics, weapons and approaches, that you can easily roleplay a stone cold killa.
I find it really surprising that in an industry that seems to love violence so much, there are so few games about contract killing.
Even Ass Creed stopped being about assassinating people after II.

probably because even the games with little to no story still have one, and being a contract killer is hard to write a decent story for
Hitman tried and it's fucking terrible

You don't know what you're talking about. Unity and Syndicate are both set up like the first game where you do a series of things and it leads up to an assassination before rinse and repeating.

I liked Collateral until I realised Tom Cruise is a super manlet, now I cannot take this shit seriously anymore. Can a manlet be a serious hitman ?

Mgs v. That whole game is you either murdering someone for a buyer, or removing them from existence by isolating them onto mother base.
I'd rather be dead than be forced to live on some shit oil rig

He would likely be a better hitman then me. Being tall makes it hard to find adequate concealment. Plus, shorter people tend to be better wrestlers so if we both had the same training he could probably meme all over me unless I was Arnold mode. Thems the breaks.

But the beauty of a game where you play as a hit man is that you don't NEED a lot of story. Just give me context for who my dude is and how he gets his jobs and then send me through a bunch of missions Blood Money style. Hitman's story is the worst part of those games and it's why Absolution sucked.

Sure, no one suspects him.

These + Assassin's Creed games.

Dishonored has such good gamefeel.

A few inches less doesn't automically turn you into a woman with no strength or skill. It also helps you not stand out in a crowd. Besides, why do you need longer limbs when you mostly use guns?
>>344332084
I couldn't play more than an hour of it, it's too cartoonish
>>344325735
>Collateral
Good movie
>>344332263
Well that's pretty silly. I agree the character models are grossly disproportionate but overall, I liked the style.

I like this post.

In general, I feel that's because it's easier for the audiance to accept justified killing than murder.
Usually the bad guys are acceptible targets that very few people feel bad about killing (Nazis, terrorists, zombies / aliens / robots), there's a socially acceptable reason to kill them (you're a soldier fighting an enemy force, or self-defense against bad guys that are actively seeking to kill you), or there's at least some type of moral justification (they're innocent security guards, but they're working for the guy you're seeking vengeance against).
Even Assassin's Creed and Hitman paint the targets as "deserving it" for some reason, and seem to more be an excuse for the gameplay to exist, getting around obstacles to get to your target.

There are tons of tall people who are hitmen.
Stealth is the art of deception, not the art of being undetected.

I read somewhere that operators tend to be on the shorter side.
