So this pretty much confirmed to be GOTY right? If the coming episodes can keep up with this quality.
redpill me on the episodic release schedule.
>>335994669
They release one episode whenever they finish it
>>335994304
i wanna get this game but denuvo is holding me back
dont wanna waste money on a broken bad product
>>335994304
so is it true this game is only 13 bucks on steam? if i buy it do I need to buy another thing or is 13 bucks enough to play?
>>335995638
12 bucks is only the "intro pack". You gotta pay extra for Sapienza and the upcoming levels.
>>335995996
so what exactly is the intro pack?
>>335995638
I think you need the intro pack to be able to play any other released levels, but from that point you can just buy the levels you want
>>335996076
Tutorial levels and the Paris stage, the paris stage is pretty good
>>335996117
>buy per level
is this a meme or are you serious? cause i dont understand shit of the pricing on steam
>>335994304
Shillman
>>335996227
Yes, you can either buy the game in parts for $12 each or whatever, or you can buy the whole thing for $60
>>335996321
i dont have so much money
why cant i download it?
>>335994702
which seems to be 2 months
>>335994304
It's a sweet map but you can tell its rushed. im on ps4 and theres a forklift you can turn the alarm on for to distract a guard and said guard just stands there in front of the forklift like a giant asshole forever because he doesnt know how to turn it off. in the same area (this is in the cave where the virus is) there are two scientists standing near a light connected to a generator that you can turn off to knock one out or distract them to slip past. when i left the generator on and the female scientist saw a gun i forgot to pick up she walked off told a guard about it in a males voice
soon

I don't know about GOTY yet, but I do know that I had a ton of fun with it so far. Let's hope the episodes maintain this level of quality.
>>335996773
So what happened to the paris one
>>335996919
There will be one in Paris as well. You need to kill male model who is Blackmailer and receive his usb flash card.
>>335994304
It's okay except for the part where you need GTX 980 to play on ultra with 60 fps
Also goddamn devs broke dx12 version in just one patch, what the fuck? They can't even afford QA now? Not that it matters since as far as I'm aware there's no difference between it and dx11
So was there a decision between Gary Busey and Gary Cole?
>>335994304
While I'm really enjoying it, I don't think it can be called GOTY until it is fully out.
Going on shooting sprees on this game is actually pretty hard. I had to give up and start quickloading at times instead of trying to do it all in one run.
Motherfuckers know how to flank you and it only takes like 5 shots to get you down.
>>336000893
And the agency MP is completely useless.
I think I got most of my kills with the pistol in Paris.
Also, what is the body count in Paris? I got 297, but I think I missed some.
>Disguise myself as a cook from the ice cream store
>Can just go into the mansion and tell the Chef I'm the assistant
>Disguise myself as the butcher
>Ditto
Am I the only one that is actually enjoying the story and loving the cutscenes?
>>336001562
>story
they're doing this shit again?
>>335996674
>when i left the generator on and the female scientist saw a gun i forgot to pick up she walked off told a guard about it in a males voice
I experienced the same thing. One of the male voices is in one of the female models.
I don't think the level is unfinished at all, though, it's well designed, fun and varied. It just has a few bugs, like all Hitman games do.
>>336001725
So far there is no "story", just vague hints that this guy is out for revenge to someone, calling some of 47's hits and in the end probably wants to kill him too.
>>336001725
Skippable great quality cutscenes between the missions. No cinematic experience etc.
>>335996773
I'm guessing this is some sort of leaked info from the files? When are they actually releasing the first elusive target?
>>335999976
Yeah. Busey won.
>>336001962
The cutscenes are really well done. I just hope they start explaining who the guy is soon.
>>336001725
Every Hitman game has had a story. There's a difference between a cool story that is implemented in the hits (Silent Assassin, Blood Money) and a shitty story that gets in the way of the hits (Absolution)
>>336001562
Me too. I'm really interested in where it's going.
>>336002083
They've already explained plenty. Shadowy people have been gaining power from using 47 as an Agent to kill anyone they want. He despises 47 for this and is using him to shift the balances back.
>>336001827
Are you saying woman cant have male sounding voices? Because if you are that is sexist, woman can have male voices in games and i praise the devs for standing up for womans rights.
>>336002480
Must have missed when they said that
>>336002706
All of this is very heavily implied if you pay attention
>Powerful men have fallen, but by the same token, others have risen. Do you realize what kind of world you've been shaping? Does the ICA? Does Diana? I live in that world. I have see the consequences. I have felt the costs. That's what defines me.
>>336002260
It's not only the implementation that was the problem in Absolution. It also had no class and subtlety at all.
imo the only hitman game that had a decent story was contracts. I think that a minimalistic approach of storytelling suits hitman the best.
Did anyone enjoy the hitman movie? I watched it the otherday in 4k hdr and it exceeded my expectations by miles.
>>336002503
(you)
>>336003301
Seriously? It was goddamn awful.
Did you expect it to rape you and kill your family?
>>336002934
Absolution was very inspired by grindhouse.
Which is an odd fit for the series desu
>>336000893
It worked fine until i reached the laboratory, at that point the UMPs kind of shat on me
I got the game on eBay for $20
I already had the intro pack but I'd spend $50 on episodes 2/3/4/5/6
$35 for this entire game is good.
>>336003868
i dont have money can i play?
>>336003121
I liked Contracts story and how disjointed it was, plus that great final Leon the Professional mission (with half the briefing done, which was sweet)
But I think Silent Assassin and Blood Money were also pretty good stories. Hell, even C47 had a decent story beneath that mess of a game.
>>335994304
>confirmed to be GOTY
nope, just shills
>>336003567
It ended abit quick but other than that i enjoyed it. I liked how he changed clothes was a nice nod to the game. That bit with the car being pinned and the singapore gardens bit visually looked great. Also 47 had abit of a weird shaped head .
>>336003624
I feel that the series had a darker tone from Contracts onward, and I liked how they made Hitman 2016 a bit lighter.
>>336001562
Me too, i'm excited to see what Troy Baker villain is up to. Not sure if it'll be covered sufficiently in 6 missions though.
Can you play this game if you dont have money for it=
>>335996413
Because that's not how it works cyka.
>>336004108
>>336004532
No, you have to pay for it.
Get a job.
>>336004532
>>336004108
>>335996413
Get a fucking job or use your autismbux. Jesus Christ.
>>336004608
>>336004664
>>336004672
but i rather use my welfare for other stuff like house and car and food because if I pay so much money for a videogame I dont have enough
i only get 1k a month or something
i rather just pirate it but it doesnt work i think
can someone else buy it for me?
>>336004183
On the topic of story, did anyone else feel like H2's story had some wasted potential?
Within the first two missions, they introduced this really interesting premise of 47 having an existential crisis as he's forced to come to terms with what he is. Then, at St. Petersburg, they drop this plot and replace it with one about chasing a nuclear weapons shipment around the globe.
>>336001562
Yeah, I like how the handle it in this one, reminds me of Blood Money. Some cutscenes, other lore and story elements are scattered across the levels.
Also, villain's VA is pretty damn good.
>>336004481The developers said that this season is just setting things up. So I'm assuming that the last cutscene of this game is gonna be something like 47 finding out about him or something
>>336004802
Aww that's too bad.
>>336004756
>my welfare
Get a job.
You aren't entitled to the fruits of another's labor simply for existing mate, get a job, pay for the game.
>>336004756
If you lick my bumhole then yes i will buy you it but you also have to suck my cock and swallow my load then lick my bumhole while i reload and then you have to suck my cock and swallow my load again maybe again if im horny enough , are you prepared to do that for a game?
>>336004867
im trying to get a job but im very autistic and i got like all kinds of weird coorporations supporting me
i just rather get this game for free
>>336004883
>>336004895
fuck you guys
>>336004867
>>336004883
stop replying to shitposting
>>336004782
Troy Baker is the best. The man can be the voice of anyone you want.
>>335994304
Is it just missions or is there also an epic cool story about Hitman's back story and his feelings and 2interesting5me supporting characters like in 5hitman?
Not played any of the Hitman games or this one but this episodic release thing looks really neat. Is there a lot to do and find in the levels they've released so far?
>>336004938
Just missions, with skippable cutscenes after each mission.
>>336004917
Blew my mind when it turned out he was Gul'dan in WoD
>>336004917
He sucked as Ocelot in MGSV.
>>336004942
I've put 20 hours into the content released so far an i haven't even completed all the challenges yet.
Plus there's a slapped on Contracts mode that adds some replayability.
>put a joint in the target's cigarette pack
>they smoke it and immediately pass out
>guards go on high alert
What the fuck. I thought he was going to go get some food or go take a nap or something
>>336004756
>welfare
>car
nigger
>>336004909
You should lead by example.
>>336005051
I already reported him and asked others to ignore it, what else do you want?
>>336005027
i do have a car and a house its just enough
but yeah i cant buy 60 bucks for a game
>>336005081
I want you to lick my bumhole.
>>336005127
The only thing worse than being a moralfag is being a poorfag begger.
I hope the game eventually gets cracked but I also hope you never get to play it. My feelings are conflicted.
>>336005127
rob a gas station
>>336005190
>>336005175
fucking ignore him you drooling retards
>>336005127
Sell your house and car so you can buy the game then you idiot.
>>336004776
Well, in the end he realized he can't escape from the killer life.
>>336005175
well i do hope i can play it since i have been pirating games like all my life and suddenly since this year i cant play games like tomb raider or just cause 3 or hitman newest
its pretty unfair cause i have been a huge fan of these games for years but yeah i only get like 1k a month and i pay house car and food with that
so i dont have money for 60 bucks for one game i might not even like
so i rather just download it but suddenly thats not possible anymore these days
>>336005250
fuck off nigga im simply asking
>7,99
hahahaha
>>336005237
Don't ever reply to me or my son again
i would buy this game but it has denuvo and i dont support drm games
>>336005274
>its pretty unfair
Yeah I glad those games aren't cracked and you won't get to play them, and I say that as a piratefag.
>>336005290
thanks dad
>>336004905
stupid 3rd worlder
>i just rather get this game for free
Yeah well you're going to have to wait a year before the full packaged game is out, and then it isn't even guaranteed it gets cracked. Stay kurwa, suka.
>>336005024
When they wake up, they go barf somewhere close by, so there's that.
>>336004905
You autistics are fucking everything that's wrong with society. "Oh he doesn't know to say hello and he can't see when someone is sad or angry! Well then we certainly can't find a manual job for him! Better give him 1K a month to sit at home all day and fap to Shadow the hedgehog!" Cancer! You're fucking cancer and so is the fucking socialist welfare state that supports you! Kill yourself, you fucking ham blob!
>>336005274
If you asked that to my face in person i'd bite your nose off .
>>336004183
contracts also had a great atmosphere.
I think sa and bm had boring stories, but they didn't bother me that much. I think hitman games really don't need a villian or a big story in general.
>>336005395
no you wouldn't.
>>336005361
I should say, though, the guards looking at the person who fell from smoking the joint counts as a body found, which is bullshit.
What's the deal with the settings in the game? Something about locking themselves according to hardware? I don't want to buy the game and then get cucked. Also did they do something about the Always-Online bugging out?
>>336004942
While this game is pretty great, if you haven't played any Hitman game yet, then you're better off buying Contracts and Blood Money. Cheaper and with much more content. Both those games are excellent.
>>336005413
I would, they dont call me Nathan the Nose Biter for nothing.
>>336005331
hey fuck you man you pirat eyourself but i cant get to?
fuck you!!!
>>336005357
im not 3rd worlder im from europe dumbass
>>336005390
NIGGA DO YOU THINK I CHOSE THIS LIFE? IT WAS PUIT ON ME
i wanted to work 100% but the fucking government an dbullshit psychiatrists said im autistic
if they didnbt said that i had a normal life
so fuck off you cancer shit
>>336005390
Holyshit, watch the edge there, Skylar.
>>336005473
More like Nathan the Pillow Biter.

I love always online DRM, extra DRM and episodic faggotry.

You can play Offline, but you won't have online content. I had online drop on me only once i think.
>>336003301
somehow they menaged to do a worst movie than the first one
i still have to figure out how this was even possible
>>336005560
im from netherlands dumb shit fuck you
>>336005509
>hey fuck you man you pirat eyourself but i cant get to?
Yep. If it means shitters like you never get to play this game I'm glad not to either.
>>336005525
I dont bite pillows, only noses maybe the odd ear but mainly noses.
>>336004905
Autists should be executed.
>>336005581
>from netherlands
>is this retarded at English
Don't buy it. Just like you and Hitman.
>>336005613
They are useless waste of space. Only the mega high i.q turbos should be spared.
>>336005685
>They are useless waste of space.
-autist posting on /v/
I can afford it and sort of want to play Sapienza, but fuck the DRM and episodic bullshit that they're forcing on us.
Supporting and keeping a blind eye to such bullshit is precisely why in the future people will constantly do the same things over and over, and you retarded kids just don't get that.
Besides, the game is objectively worse in design than Blood Money. That's the unfortunate truth, from the simplification of certain systems (ranks, money, saves) to stealth being overpowered.
>>336005685
I'm a little bit on the spectrum, but it's hardly noticeable.
Do i get the guillotine?
Hey lads I skipped Absolution, should I bother going back to it while waiting for the next episode?
>>336005613
No, they shouldn't, they should just held to the same standards as everyone else.
The sheltered autist problem is one of those people being given special treatment.
Sure they might not amount to much in the end (they might though, programmers *can* in the right circumstances make bank, autists are prime candidates for those jobs)
>>336005509
Just GET A JOB.
No one is stopping you.
>i wanted to work 100% but the fucking government an dbullshit psychiatrists said im autistic
So, there isn't a law to stop an autistic person from working, quite the opposite actually...
>if they didnbt said that i had a normal life
You only don't have a normal life because you choose to live they way you are and some idiot leftists decided it was good idea to support that.
>>336005438
They supposedly patched that out. I wouldn't know, though.
As for the Always Online DRM, you can play missions offline, but you need to be Online to do challenges, contracts, escalations and have the unlockable weapons (including stuff like a Sniper Rifle). Although the system is pretty lenient now, if you go offline, the game just pauses and lets you retry connection whenever you want to continue.
>>336005613
fuck you
>>336005621
ok then not i dont care>>336005812
im not allowed to work retar dim autistic and get autismbux
>>336005685
Any of them can be super IQ turbos. It just depends on if you leave engineering and programming manuals around the house or fill their room with sanic teh hegdehog
>>336005797
Absolutely not. You'd have to be real bored to enjoy that.
>>336005847
are you literally retarded?
no one even likes you faggot
>>336005576
>they unlocked them
Cool, thanks. Does the game run well? I got a970 meme card.
>>336005818
I don't really have a problem with the Always Online DRM, of course it'd be better if it weren't there, but I can deal with that.
>>336005795
No, i like you.
>>336005876
go fuck yourself and dont talk offtopic
im gonna leave this thread now you guys are fucking ruining my mood
>>336005818
>if you go offline, the game just pauses and lets you retry connection whenever you want to continue.
That doesn't sound lenient at all.
>>336005964
He is right though. Everyone hates you.
Nice Hitman thread you fucks.
>>336006009
tell me something i dont know you fucking retard
>>336005848
You sound like you dont know much about autism.
>>336006056
Fucking Cut your wrists and hang yourself you flaming autist
you are considerably the stupidest person I've ever come across on 4chan
do you even have moderate literacy you grunting mongoloid?
>>336006053
Name? Sauce?
I thought this game looked like a step back in the right direction for this franchise when they announced it. But then when I found out it was gonna be released in parts I lost all interest.
I can't really have fun with a game if I'm only playing it for 1 hour every couple of months. Maybe I'll get the complete pack when it's finished.
>bought 390x because too poor for 980 and 3.5GB
>supposed to come with free hitman complete experience
>didn't get the usual email with a code from Amazon
>debating on filing a support ticket with them to get a code
Should i really even bother though? All the top steam reviews say its shit.
>>336006112
>if I'm only playing it for 1 hour every couple of months
If that's true then Hitman isn't for you.
>>336006112
I would def get the full pack, i should have waited to be honest.
>>336006129
I'd file the ticket. Free game's a free game.
>>336005812
I agree with that statement entirely. Autists can still fill many roles, and they should. A man without arms should find work that suits his legs, and vice versa (although a bit of help is not a terrible idea).
If you're too retarded to work, you're too retarded to live.
>>336006007
How come? You could lose internet for hours, keep the game open, retry it later and be right back where you were.
>>336006145
Ive easily got 20+ hours on paris alone. I love just dicking around seeinf how long i can survive on killing sprees etc. The level design is awesome.
>>336006085
I wish I was 12 again
>>336006283
14 isnt much older anon.
>>336006275
Or I could just play uninterupted when losing internet in a game that doesn't have any sort of multiplayer beyond leaderboards.
>>336006283
I wish you were dead and so does your retarded. I bet you she wishes you stuck a spoon up her vagina and scooped your fetus out at some point so that she wouldn't have to deal with the literal waste of oxygen that she hesitantly calls her "son"
I like using knifes.
>>336006129
If you notice the steam reviews, they're all bitching about the external stuff like Always Online DRM, Episodic Format, Performance Issues, etc.
The actual gameplay is excellent
>>336006464
Wew
>>335994304
>>335995996
The screenshots don't really do this game justice. Looks like something from 2006.
Shit looks worse than that one FF XV platinum demo screenshot of that one area with the boats and water and building.
>>336006414
No, I mean, you're right. Always Online DRM is bullshit and I dislike it strongly, but at least you can reconnect.
>>336006560
literally go fuck your own cock, asshat. you couldn't be any more of a retard. You're the worst kind of human being who lacks any kind of intellectual thought. Your brain is equal to that of a vegetable foaming at the mouth. You have no purpose in life, nor will you ever. You are the soap scum beneath my toes. For your own safety, and out of concern for your health and for others around you, you should really consider killing yourself as soon as the chance presents itself, really. You really need to, for the sake of your own well being and for other's.

Man, I just got a SASO run with no Knockouts, it was surprisingly easy. The level is big but all the objectives are very nearby only divided vertically.
Also:
>IP's: 47
>we will never get a remake of the hidden valley, at the gates and shogun showdown from Hitman 2
suffering
>when you do a SASO run and are so silent that the game didn't even notice you
On a side note, fuck always online. At least loading the challenge icons in the debriefing isn't connected to actually registering them.
>>336007692
Yeah, me too. Starting in the ruins is completely broken. Just sneak by ONE camera and the rest of the mansion is yours.
>>336005024
>high alert
tee hee hee hee hee
>>336005818
Yeah, yesterday I got disconnected, reconnected, later disconnected AGAIN and tried SIX times reconnecting before it finally worked.
This is still shit.

Holy shit that looks fun as fuck
Identical target is a good idea to prevent simply bumrushing or sniping from a distance
>>336001380
The chef doesn't know what his new assistant looks like at all since they are new to the job, it's feasible
>>336008614
The target noticed you holding a gun before you shot them, hence the crime noticed
>>336007746
>Wanting remakes of old levels instead of new ones
Literally why?
>>335996773
No restrictions on the way of killing?
>>336009135
No, I shot Dalia or whatever her name is on the balcony with a shitload of people around
>>335994669
it allows for gameplay focus over story, creating a ground zeroes like feel.
it also let's devs try things and see what does and doesnt work without ruining the game
>>336010125
Oh. Then they saw her getting shot and killed and then saw the body. What are you confused about?
>Literally did nothing wrong
>Poor guy with psychological issues
>You have to kill him
The ICA can go fuck themselves
>>336010227
Except, you know, smothering his mother and developing a seriously deadly virus
>>336002083
they said they arent
apparently HITMAN tm is season 1 and they want the story to take a back seat and the next game will be Season 2 and the story will be a bit more proactive
>>336010227
>>Literally did nothing wrong
Disguise as psychologist and listen his whole monologue
The biggest flaw I find in this game is that contracts mode is poorly implemented.
As in you can do contracts anyway you wish - they should have added more forced limitations to pass certain hits, for example the ability to kill someone using a specific weapon in suit only with no alarms or bodies found with this all being required to pass the mission.
Instead contracts is very bare bones and verything is [optional] so you can still pass and get a higher score without doing the optional part, which is illogical to me
>>336010227
https://a.uguu.se/skbdly.webm
>>336010227
Well, let's ignore the fact he smothered his mother because she seems like a bitch that got him as crazy as he did. Let's also ignore the fact he's making a virus that can kill anyone and planning to give it out to rebels.
He asks for the strands of DNA's of everyone who has ever bullied him while he was a child and he wants to kill all of them.
That's doing something wrong.
>>336010210
I got "no bodies found" bonus
>>336010227
If anything, Francesca is the one who's doing nothing wrong.
She's only there to spy on Silvio on the company's behalf because they know he's going postal, but she still gets taken out because she knows enough about what he's doing to carry on the project herself if she so wanted to.

Amazing. I'm also surprised his body actually hit the water and didn't just disappear. I'm guessing nobody notices he's just gone?
>>336010469
People saw her go down and you still got that bonus? Weird.
I did notice it when it happens in accidental deaths, but I thought that was sensible. Bodies from accidents don't count as bodies found.
That's most certainly a bug, though.

What actually happened in that cutscene? What was the key? One of those DNA viruses?
>>336010469
If they die when no one notices YET, you get the unnnoticed kill bonus. What comes after that doesn't matter. It's weird, but that's how it works atm.

He smothered his mother because she ruined his life. I don't think he was developing the virus on purpose, that was probably Ether taking advantage of him.

>hired to spy on her boss

She is the one who did nothing wrong, she was killed because she might be able recreated the virus from scratch
>>336010642
We don't know what the "key" is yet, though it is possible it is a DNA virus and I reckon that will play part into the story.

I want to take this webm a little further. Is there a particular NPC or target you can get to the top of either of the large towers in the level?
>>335994669
It's a shameless work-around to the Steam Refund system.
I think a New York like setting could work fine for Hitman. Lots of people, lots of opportunities and a rainy city could be a nice change from the typical colourful mansion.
>>336010642
We don't know what the key is for but it's not for a DNA Virus. That shit went down in Sapienza. It's implied that he needs multiple keys (possibly two) and one alone is not enough, but he seems to have at least two of them now, possibly all that's needed.
What he needs that key for we don't know yet, but he most certainly wants to take down these assholes from "Providence"
Are the "featured" contracts just randomly chosen? There seems to be a lot of uninspired stuff with the generic Serpent XXXX names.

The refund period lasts 2 hours so you get to try the game out for that time. Should be plenty to complete the mission and get a good sense of the game and if you want Sapienza or not.

DX 12 is having a problem in every game famalam
>>336015275
Well that's pretty fucking sad to hear because it's been marketed like the hottest shit ever
You know, playing around in Sapienza i fulled understand why they went episodic now. The level is huge and detailed as fuck.
There was no way in hell they would have managed to release the game without reporting it countless time if they went the traditional way.
In fact i'm almost glad they chose that solution, it was probably the best choice they had to avoid butchering the game thanks to probable SQUENIX pressure.
>>336004756
Fuck off nigger. Also don't blog abour your shitty ass life, nobody cares.
>>336015813
Hearing the really shitty sound design (well, music is okay but it's really bland) and same actors they use for everything, I think there was a budget problem as the main culprit here.

>Squeenix wants to pull the plug but they want to give devs one last chance, a shoestring budget and episodic release in order to minimize the costs/risks

The guard lines and conversations in this game are top fucking notch.

>>336016083
Couldn't give less shits about sound design, the levels are stellar and that's the #1 thing you expect out of a Hitman title.
>>336016083
I wonder how much they spent on PR if selling 3.6 millions units wasn't enough. I mean it's more than every Hitman game before combined
>>336016269
>>336016083
Absolution didn't tank but got such a bad reputation that they had to change things drastically so the next one wouldn't tank.

The escalation with the explosions was pretty fun. Had to get creative there but it was well worth it.
>>336016868
Sadly yes. I just wanted to make a silly contract. I wish you could make the outfits used during kills mandatory.
>>336017682
If you just use the door breaching charges(they have to be pretty much exactly under someone to have an effect)then you can launch them without killing them, so you can try trapshooting and actually use the "non-target killed" to see if you hit or not.

>>336018430
But you only get 2 of them (4 if you use a glitch) so the leap won't be as big.
Do the natives speak in their own language? This is important to me.

Exactly that's what I wish they could've added. Not even surprised if the Japan level has everyone speaking English in an american/english accent.
Even the soundtrack is pure fucking shit, not even a tint of old Hitman games. Though I have to say the gameplay's pretty good.
>>336016718
God knows why. A search function can't be that difficult to implement.
>>336020523
Dude. You do realize that this always how the Hitman games have worked, right? The Chinese spoke English, the Russian spoke English, everyone in the past Hitman games spoke English.
The only difference is they don't have silly thick accents now, which is a plus.ARRARM! ARRARM! HE'S PACKING!
>>336021139
They spoke their native languages at least in Hitman 2 and BM, probably Contracts too. The difference is that the dialogue was never more complex than "YAME YAME" or "get out" in French.
>>336020176
He's fixing a boiler, think he's under where the two gardeners are in the shed

>>336021598
In Silent Assassin, when it was lines for you to hear, they spoke in English with silly accents.
In Blood Money, the french guy that gave you the gun spoke English with a french accent, everyone else spoke in their native language, which was English, because almost the entire game was set in America.
That criticism is stupid, they've always had dialogue be in English and it would be retarded of them to not do that.
>>336022673
Hey i played that one too. The fucking guard in the church recognized me for some reason, i have no idea why.
>>336022897
>In Silent Assassin, when it was lines for you to hear, they spoke in English with silly accents.
And the whole game had maybe 5 lines like that.
>In Blood Money, the french guy that gave you the gun spoke English with a french accent, everyone else spoke in their native language
A Vintage Year was also not in English, and of course the receptionist would speak English to an obvious tourist. Whenever the NPCs talked among themselves or in any other situation, they spoke French. English was the exception, not the rule.
It's retarded to claim that they always spoke English when English was the exception, not the rule. There was also a reason to that, as there was far less dialogue back then.
>>336023061
Yeah I found that weird,too.
The tourist is the one who pissed me off,though. Just standing in line at the ice store all day.
I ended up throwing the knife in his face and running for the car escape.
>>336023348
>There was also a reason to that, as there was far less dialogue back then.
Yes, and the dialogue in Hitman 6 is a plus over the other games.
You now realize why they speak in English.
>>336023674
>You now realize why they speak in English.
That's what I've been saying all the time, I was just calling you out on your false "it's always been in English" statement.
>>336023859
It's always been in English for dialogue that mattered and the developers wanted the player to listen to.
I'm finally done with Sapienza, now bring on Morocco.

>>336026853
What was it supposed to be again, embassy? I don't know, I love embassy levels in video games myself.
>>336026921
>>336026853
Embassy with a riot going on outside of it. I like the sound of it, we haven't had anything like that in a Hitman game before.
>>336026921
Yeah, pic related is how the level looks like.
You can also see in the launch trailer the hit, he's the dude that 47 explodes with the phone-bomb in the briefcase.
>>336020175
The chorus sounds like a famous Italian pop singer. Can't remember his name though.
>>336027482
Looks pretty unappealing, hope this is the only brown level of the 6.
>>336016557
Absolution did sell reasonably but was one of those "we want X crowd" at the cost of older fans.
>>336028792
Now they're doing right by us but because of the episodic format, it's gonna sell like shit. Feels bad, man. Hope this isn't Hitman's swan song, although, if it is, it's definitely a better swan song than fucking Absolution.
Torrent when?
>>336029741
never
>>336026853
>>336026921
>>336027482
I'm sure it will be a great level but yeah, the setting isn't doing much for me. I really want an airport level.
>>336010301
I don't think season 2 will have the story take much more of a front seat
they can pretty easily just continue this route indefinitely: mission setup with you being given the mission and a rundown from diana, followed by a cinematic that shows you who's actually behind the hiring of the agency/exploiting the system
it's even more clear now than before that the ICA is being manipulated into pulling off hits that benefit the antagonist, and they just revealed that this is all in service of his crusade against an organization called Providence.
>>336030243
Also I want a night level. Showstopper was supposed to be during the night but playtesters were having trouble navigating the symmetrical exterior.
>>336030402
So they're basically pulling off another Hitman 2. Zavorotko was infinitely more fun of a character, though.
>>336030410
There were some leaked screenshots of night time Sapienza with a concert in the beach area.
>>336030402
It's heavily implied that Providence itself rose to power because of the Agency and 47.
The antagonist is striking them the same way they striked to get where they got.
>>336003301
to each their own man but that movie was an irredeemable mess of lazy cliches, bad acting and awful CGI.
>>336016160
by who? that's a civvy, he's in the middle of town, guards aren't on patrol.
>>336010850
so as long as you define "did nothing wrong" as "did plenty very very wrong but it doesn't count because I forgive him for it" then yes
he did nothing wrong.
>>336010371
100% agree
if they can get contracts up to the level of absolution's contracts it would be a bout 10x better.
Do the PC version is badly optimized? Can it run on PS4 settings on a 270 or 950?

can you access every building there?
>>336031740
If it's anything like Sapienza then about 1/3rd will be accessible. (which sounds worse than it actually is)
Is this game actually good? I liked hitman blood money and sort of liked absolution but absolution felt a bit linear.
Is this good? Why do people say there are shills for it? Are you all shills?
Should I buy it?
>>336027482
That's only a part of the level. See those flags on the left? The embassy is behind them.
>>336032134
it's like Blood Money with absolution mechanics in a sandbox. it's great
>>336032134
I'm pretty sure it's mostly ironic shilling
>>336032134
The core mechanics are good, the levels so far are also good.
The problems are episodic release and always-online DRM it has.
>>336032134
It's good. I'd buy one episode and see if you're interested.
i dont know, the new episode made the game unplayable
>>336032134
>Why do people say there are shills for it?
WHY DON'T I HAVE THE WHOLE GAME NOW REEEEE
It's pretty good. If you think you'd like more spacious Blood Money levels, try it out.

So, like, is there any point in removing camera data now that there's no notoriety meter? Getting recorded means you get spotted even if you erase everything. I think it's a bug, though.

>Getting recorded means you get spotted even if you erase everything
That's either a bug, or you're getting recorded by cameras on a different network altogether and not erasing the data for that network. Erasing camera data does(or at least is supposed to) get rid of the recorded penalty.
>>336032886It's not

KEK
>>336032886
You should know if it's worth it or not before 2 hours are done.
>>336033416
Absolutely. I was hoping they would improve the Contracts mode even more from Absolution's standards but they actually took every single step backwards they could without removing the mode altogether and now its beyond barebones as fuck.
>>336032886
you got ripped offwhy didn't you pirate it to see if you liked it like a normal person would
>>336033416
The Contract creation itself was more or less the same, what Absolution had way better was an actual sorting system. You could search for Contracts, favorite Contracts, use codes to access contracts, you also had freedom of which disguises to bring with you (although that would probably be way overpowered in this game, where disguises actually fucking work)
There was a like bar, you could search based on most liked and shit, the whole 9 yards.
This just has newest, yours and featured, which is very disappointing in comparison.

Btw, is it now impossible to shoot through doors with the silverballers (or anything but the sniper rifle)?
I fondly remember shooting the guards through doors in Anathema.
>>336032980
Well, it's either that or trespassing. I got recorded and trespassed on Sapienza, second run had nothing like that and it was fine.
>>336035636
You have always needed high powered ammunition for that. Can't say for SA/Contract as it's been a while since I've played those but standard/subsonic ammo doesn't penetrate anything in BM.
>>336033971
>>336034893
STOP BUYING DENUVO GAMES
>>336035934

I am actually surprised that I like the episodic format.
I play all levels multiple times I never did this before in hitman games. Not because previous games were worse but because previous games were like 9+ hours long and I didn't feel like touching it again after the binge.
That said would be better if they released them in a monthly cycle.

>scriptman
>goty
>fuck off shill
>>336036594
>That said would be better if they released them in a monthly cycle.
They still might. Could be that Sapienza was released so late after Paris because they had a lot of server problems that caused delays.
>>336036708The latest patch removed triggers from Paris and Sapienza never had them to begin with.
>>336005924
I run it on a 970 with everything maxed besides shadows and I get a pretty consistent 60 with occasional huge drops in odd places. It runs pretty well overall though
>>336006482
I love how there are 5 different animations depending on where you're standing in relation to the person you're stabbing
>>336036594
This game also encourages replaying heavily, and not just by skinnerboxing. I really like the alternative spawns and pickups you can unlock, also they really did improve the ways you can assassinate the target by a wide margin. Even BM had one, two at best, creative assassination strategies.

>>336039431
The auction now starts automatically at the start of the mission, previously it started when 47 entered the top floor. Stuff like that.
if you can rate this game out of the previous hitman games or out of 10 what would you give it?
no shitposting please.
>>335995638

>>336003406
>that guy who thinks all jokes are bait
>>336039431
Proximity triggers. They didn't pull all of them, but back before they were way worse. Novikov would just stand at the top of the stairs as long as you didn't come near him, so if you crouched waiting for him to come to the phone call in the back, without ever going in the front, it would just never happen. If you entered the third floor from the wrong staircase, you could cause Dahlia to spontaneously stop in the middle of a conversation, turn around, and start the auction. And if you left during her starting of the auction to go do something else, it could even reset, forcing you to wait through the start again before you could get close to her.
Why cant i find any torrents for this
>>336039696
Well, it's not finished yet. I do think the levels we've got and core mechanics are better than BM right now, but who knows what's going to happen in the future.
The gameplay things I want to complain about are mostly minor ones, like no ratings besides SA challenge or lack of signature sniper rifle briefcase as of now. BM style weapon upgrades would have also been nice, and so would peeking into keyholes be.

>>336040405
The proximity triggers drop it below BM for me, but they're actually starting to pull them out. Hope they stick with it and don't listen to the people asking for them back, or if they do, that they make them toggleable.
Also would be nice to be able to throw guns and cancel in the middle of lock picking again, but those are minor in the grand scheme of things.
>>336040730
Yeah, I wrote that assuming triggers won't be a problem soon.
Why would people even like that shit in the first place? All Hitman games had loops everyone was fine with.
So if I buy the intro pack and decide I want the full game, can I pay the difference to upgrade or would I have to buy the whole game again?

That's why you always start you rampages in the lab, making sure to take out as many guards with stealth as possible, and then taking a position on top of one of the lab buildings, the one that you have to go through to get into the quarantine area. You can position yourself in the corner facing both stairways and let them come to you.
>>336040954
the difference + extra
>>336040954
Yes, there's an upgrade pack. You can also buy each map pack individually after Paris. So, you can buy Sapienza, but if you hear that any of the later levels blow dog dick, you can skip it.
>>336041012
How much extra are we talking?
>>336031858
>1/3rd
Lol not even close. You can't even get to 90% of the buildings
>Francisca gets electrocuted
>"bag 'em and tag them"
>one minute later her bodyguards start wandering around and repeating "hey where's my VIP?"
>body bag was fucking invisible
I understand that Squeenix is most likely giving them pennies, but still it could've been better
>>336041296
5 dollarydoos
>>336041554
It wouldn't be a Hitman game without silly bugs and retarded guards.
>>336041575
I'll buy Paris now and the rest after pay day then, I guess. Still a dick move but a smallish, inoffensive kind of dick.
>>336041554
I often see guards dragging invisible bodybags around
So, which is it closer to, Blood Money or Absolution?
Do disguises actually do anything?
>>336041976
Yes
Yes
>Want to buy Hitman

Its like Blood Money just smoother. Didnt keep any of the features from Absolution, except seeing through walls.

Why does the game think these aren't completed?
I did all these escalations that are 5/5 without check marks when they first released. Am I really supposed to do them again because it didn't check them off?
I'm not getting my 10 Escalations unlock, btw, even though I've have completed 10, they just aren't checked.

does snapping someone's neck while they're unconscious count as lethal melee?
how many episodes are left? Help meee I never got into Hitman, but I do like some stealth, how do the hitman fans rank this?
>>336047456
Blood Money-tier
>>336047456
The hard thing about judging it right now is that the whole game hasn't been released yet.
So far I'd say the levels are at on par with Blood Money, and bigger in size.
Can't say too much about the sotry yet, not that it should be the main focus in a Hitman game.
>>336047191
Where'd you kill the icrecream pedo? For me he was forever standing in line at the ice shp, with 3 people behind him. I am seriously considering putting a hit on the woman who can't decide on her ice cream. Possibly with explosives.
>>336042079
Steam review generally don't do the differene between policy/technical and the game itself.
People will say i hate this game just because it don't work in their pc but then if it work they'll say they love it. They hate the game when they haven't even played it. The same thing is happening for hitman : "Fucking always onlineee!!! Fucking DRM!!" which has no influence on if the game is GOOD or BAD "Well, taking always online and DRM aside, the games itself is amazing"
Steam reviewer are retarded
>>336047629
>>336047769
Blood money is that good, huh? I hope that comes to ps2 classics on the ps4. How creative can you really get with these new episodes? Most stealth games I've played only have you using abilities you've gained and such, here it's supposed to be mostly situational and environmental set ups?
>>336042079
>So /v/ is it worth the money?
God no.
>>336048192
Pretty much. Think of it as a puzzle game first and a stealth game second, it's mostly about exploring the environment, solving puzzles based on clues from overheard conversations and the like.
>>336048157
However, the game is truly excellent.
don't listen to >>336048267 he's retarded too
>>336048387
You still haven't said why it's "truly excellent," you've simply said people complain about Online DRM, Denuvo and the game being episodic, all things that are bad.
>>336048192
Killing people is the main focus of the game so obviously your hits have plenty of creative ways to get rid of them, and that is besides the general snipe/explode/strangle/shoot in the face ones. The more fun ways generally make kills look like accidents.
>>336048370
I disagree, you can call normal stealth games puzzle games too since you have to know how to get through the levels without being seen there. Hitman has plenty of stealthing to be done, it's just that you have to switch disguises and not get your cover blown instead.
>>336048634
Oh, and to add to my post, you can finish levels without actually killing anyone but your targets, in fact leaving unnecessary casualties is highly penalized. However, nobody prohibits you from shooting the place up - if you're able to, that is.
>>336048831
It's different in the new game, the achievements reward you for creative kills rather than clean ones, necessarily. To get level 20 mastery of a level you pretty much have to have non-target casualties on some playthroughs.
>>336048192
Just turn the Opportunity informations to a minimum or completely off in the options if you get the game. That way you can figure out stuff on your own.
>>336049073
>the achievements reward you for creative kills rather than clean ones
Not all of them,though.
So I always try to do a stealthy playthrough on the first run, and then just go crazy.
>>336048370
>>336048634
cool. There's just one thing that kind of concerns me. I read a bunch about hitman fans bashing Absolution, but aren't these episodes coming out by the same devs? Was Absolution that bad or have the devs really improved in that short of a time?
>>336048192
Sort of.
The premise of Hitman is that it's a stealth sandbox game. You're encouraged to play stealthily and minimise collateral damage through the scoring system, but there's nothing stopping you from going on massacres if you want to.
You can't play the game brainlessly no matter how you play though, because you'll get your shit pushed in if you don't plan ahead.
>>336048509
I didn't feel like explaining my feedback because people already did. It is better than absolution. You are free to do the contract like you want to. Bomb,stab,garrote,disguise, anything. The game is not linears. The map are big. Very big. They are also very dense (Like the First Mission in Paris.) and alive. There's many weapon to choose from and to find. Contract mode, elusive target, challenge.
The game being episodic is just an impatience reasons. I don't think it's any worse than having the full game. You still pay the same price as you would if you pay each episode standalone.
>>336049498
>It is better than absolution
Garbage is better than Absolution, stop comparing it to an utterly shitty game.
>>336049412
They took the criticism aimed at Absolution to heart. The game was a commercial failure as well as a critical one, they figured they'd have to either go back to the old formula or quit entirely.
Although if we're being perfectly fair, I suspect the issue with Absolution was console limitation, pretty much. They built this fancy new engine which could do good graphics and huge crowds, then they used it to make corridor levels. I suspect this was pretty much a case of them having to choose between either gutting the engine or gutting the gameplay.
They're using the same engine for the new game but on next-gen hardware.
>having to buy a game in pieces and spend a lot
>or spend a little less then deal with whatever they decide to shit out
Truly this is the worst video games have ever been.
>>336049412
Yes, it was that bad. Yes, they have improved, or rather realized they fucked up (and kicked the cunt in charge of Absolution out).
The problem with Absolution was the fact that instead of being focused on being, you know, a hitman, most levels involved moving from door to door through very linear environments. Not only that, the main game feature, disguises, were nerfed so hard they were essentially useless most of the time unless you used magic instinct bar, meaning you had to hide from line of sight instead.
Also you really should play Blood Money. I know that some people dislike being told to just play it on PC, but it's a 10 year old gameshit, so long already, it'll run on integrated cards. Its gameplay is timeless.
>>336049870
Or you can just wait for the game to come out fully.
>>336005262
In the end? He realized that in the first few minutes. Friend got kidnapped and he instantly went into murder mode.
>>336049993
That's the point. The business model is set up to allow them maximum freedom to cut corners while making you pay up front.
>>336050129
That's odd, because so far it has been excellent. What corners have been cut?
>>336049445
>>336049743
>>336049148
I'm getting jittery lads. It's been a while since I played a decent stealth game. I liked Styx master of shadows, but to be honest that game was budget as fuck and it showed. Bad. This game looks amazing, though, graphically. And the crowd density in the videos look excellent. If you will, just give me an example of one of your creative hits that you executed?
>>336049967
BM had the exact opposite problem of Absolution though, it's not a stealth game at all because disguises are so powerful. It's basically a binary thing, once you get a disguise you have to try to get guards to be suspicious.
One of the reasons I like the new Hitman is they nailed the middleground of disguises, they're powerful but not invincible since certain people can still see through you and you have to hide from them.
>>336050129
>while making you pay up front.
How? Buy the parts in pieces as they come out or wait for the boxed version to be released. if anything you're given more choice than ever, pay less and risk disappointment, pay more and make sure you're getting a good product for your money or wait.
>>336050259

Eh I have a 2011 Toshiba laptop, even if it did run ok, I doubt I could run it for more than 10 minutes. that's why I said I wish it could come to ps4 because Sony seems to be pushing a lot of these old classics you can't find anywhere else.
Do ya'll think the Sapienza episode is better or equal to the first one that came out a couple months back?
>>336050295
>>336050218
They're well aware of the fact that people don't want to wait and doing it this way gets money up front before production is even finished.
If the product is failing they can essentially pull the plug at any time. Cut every corner and just release some garbage from reduced staff while keeping the money from people who have paid for the whole thing. It's a brilliant business model and with any luck it'll work out well for consumers this time, but it's completely in the company's favour.
What are the weapon unlocks in Sapienza?
>>336050259
My favorite Hitman level of all time is and will always be Tosca. In case you don't know, final scene of this opera is about a person ready to be shot except his love switched the guns and the guy knows about it except not really, there are live rounds and he dies for real but his love thinks he's alive for a while.
Thus you can snipe the guy from the lighting booth or, to add to the ironing, swap the prop gun the character is executed with with the real one.
>>336050295
I agree about difficulty balance, Hitman World really did it best.
>>336049967
>but it's a 10 year old game
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
If you had asked me I'd have guessed that Silent Assassin is 10 years...
Thanks for making me feel old.
And ofr the people sayong disguises were just as bad in SA as in Hitman: Abortion: I am pretty sure guards were more suspicious than in BM, but disguises definitely were not as useless as in Abortion.
>>336050030
Maybe you're right. I was jsut thinking of the ending monologue. But it kidna seemed as if he only made contact with ICA again to gain intel on the Padre at first, before realizing he can't escape from his nature.None of us can. That is why I am sitting at hone alone posting on /v/ after drinking 4 beers.
>>336050576
I personally like Paris as much or even better because I like crowded event assassinations the most but Sapienza is way more open of a level.
So I've been living under a rock for the last few months, what the hell is going on with this game and what is all this episodic shit?
Is the game actually good and feels like the good ol hitman games?
I'd actually consider getting this if it didn't have that obnoxious DRM slapped on it.
>>336050756
Some SA levels were ridiculous, like Tunnel Rat or everyone's fucking favorite Hidden Valley but it definitely was much more bearable, except maybe for "running means cover blown" it had.
So will all the main missions gonna have 2 targets to kill?
I'm not complaining, I think it makes the missions better, I'm just wondering if this is gonna keep happening or is it just for the first 2 missions?
Wish I could cook like this
>>336050625
Weapons? IDGAF except for the sniper rifle with better zoom and penetration (but no silencer)
But we finally got a lethal poison vial.
>>336050781
Yes, pay attention, the first level was great and the new one that came out earlier this week is one of the best in the entire series.
>>336050259
In the most recent mission there is a target who murdered his mother and his convinced that her ghost is haunting her.
If you play around with some of the objects in his villa (his mother's chair lift, her old gramophone etc.) he will believe that the ghost has returned and will attempt to leave the villa in a seaplane.
Once he's in the air, you can blow the plane out of the sky using an antique cannon placed on some nearby ruins.
>>336051021
I doubt there's any reason for them to have only two since it varied in all Hitman games. One target which is extremely hard to reach would be just as fine, or a target and some task, or VIPs, or three targets.
>>336051117
Alright, now whats this bullshit im hearing about some anal DRM its using?
>>336050954
I actually kinda liked the running thing after a while. Great feeling of suspense when you knew one of the guys you sedated could wake up any minute (which doesn't happen anymore) while you had to slowly walk away in order not to get shot.
AND WTF IS UP WITH THAT AXE
>>336051235
Denuvo and always online. Yeah, it is pretty bad. It's one of the few real and unfortunately major flaws this game has.
What is the point of ICA sound device? I never used it.
>>336051235
It's using two DRM at the same time, there's a lot of shilling going on around in the Hitman threads every since Episodic releases were announced, so beware.
>>336050580
>Cut every corner and just release some garbage from reduced staff while keeping the money from people who have paid for the whole thing.
Which is why you don't buy up-front but only buy when they release a new piece of content htat people say is good.
If anything, that's protection against them abandoning the game halfway through, they're relying on continuous revenue now since the $15 I paid for the starter pack and the $10 I paid for the new map isn't enough for their budget. They can't abandon me since I won't give them any more money if they do.
>>336051040
I really don't feel like having to do every fucking challenge in the game just to unlock weapons. This is why this game burns me out so quickly, it feels like a god damn shopping list of chores just to get a few new weapons.
>>336051362
Damn, and here I was considering buying it.
O well. Fuck em.

>>336051345
The movement speed had horrible balance in SA. Not only were the levels too large to traverse at a leisure pace, your sneaking speed was slower than enemies walking (unless you glitched it) so you mostly had to rely on scripted back turn moments and time them very carefully. Then there was the save game limit.
I really wish running in this game made NPCs suspicious, just a little bit would be nice.
I can't find a single reason not to run in this game which completely breaks immersion.
>>336051959
why are you playing on some shitty ultra low setting with no AA
>>336052240
If that's low settings then i'm impressed.
>>336051408
Makes a beeping noise, causing a guard to investigate. Oh, and if anybody sees you drop it they'll go OMG CRIME NOTICED BETTER CALL THE GUARDS
>>336051428
You really don't have to do very challenge, and reaching 20 mastery really seemed far quicker in Spienza than Paris.
>>336051752
Well, the save game limit depended on the difficulty level. And on the topic of glitches: I really liked the "drop all weapons and pick them up again so you can dual wield the silenced pistol with another one"
And don't get me started on the fucking scarecrow, that one was fucking spooky.
>>336051959
I agree, but there is a small reason for walking. Walking doesn't generate noise, while running will cause nearby NPCs to turn towards you.
>>336052295
idk about the other guy, but this is all low except for LOD+shadow settings on medium, with only 8x anisotropic filtering.
>>336052580
I remember the days when low settings meant puddy wall textures and a foggy draw distance.
Today's low settings are basically still very good looking.

Probably, it makes sense as it gives you more opportunity to explore the level - especially as the targets are often located quite far from each other - if there was just one you'd just beeline straight to where they were
>>336055376
you would think that they would keep the person knocked out, because they can get right back up.
