Names are for friends, so I don't need one.
What order should I play through the games for someone who's only ever beaten Absolution?
>>322841775
doesn't matter, the events in the games aren't in chronological order anyway
>>322841775
Just play Blood Money and maybe Hitman 2
>>322841775
play 2 3 and blood money
1 has aged pretty badly
Am I the minority in thinking that Contracts was badass?
>>322841775
Just not absolution.
Blood Money I played a bit and it was good and I thought Absolution was fun. Am I missing much by skipping 1 or 2? I tried 1 ages ago and it definitely has aged.

agreed
contracts was by far the darkest hitman game
also great OST

Is Contracts the one with the meat shop/butcher level? If so, then I'm starting with that.
>>322841775
2, then Contracts, then Blood Money.
Blood Money is the most widely praised one but I prefer 2 and Contracts. Blood Money's cool to fuck around in but 2 and Contracts feel more refined.
>>322845062
yes it is
>>322842890
i thought it was quite good, liked it better than 2
Is Codename 47 only hampered by it's graphics or is it all, generally speaking, outdated?
Chronologically is probably the best way.
You probably don't need to finish 1, but it's good if you do. Some stuff from 1 is referenced in later games

also controls and mechanics are a little rough, but you can give it a try. a lot of hitman 1's levels are redone in contracts so you might as well just play that
>>322846029
Codename 47 is only hampered by the fact they hadn't perfected their formula yet.
It can be a bit shootery.
As far as graphics go they look fine, and it even has something other games don't have, bullet holes in your flesh when you're shot.

I just remember the tutorial and first level feeling really slow. I'll start with 2 and work my way from there. If I really enjoy Contracts and beating the series, I'll give Codename 47 another try.
