Thanks for reminding me. I didn't do last week's one because I forgot for a solid two weeks.

Got frustrated after a few attempts with the latest ET. Said "Fuck it" and killed pretty much everyone before I KO'd him then dragged his ass below the chandelier and dropped it on him; since the asshole didn't go to the bathroom when I poisoned his water.

Anyone on Xbox One play Ghost Mode? I just got into it, it's surprisingly fun as fuck, but now that I've gotten the Phantom Suit I'm getting tired of being matched with retards who apparently literally just picked up the game and just seem to run around in circles and get themselves killed/kill nontargets repeatedly

Hopefully they introduce it for legacy maps, Sapienza would be great for it.

I love how drowning the fool in a toilet and hiding his body in a closet counts as an accident kill.

Feel like the last few have been super easy but maybe that's just me.

Played all of them bar the latest two, the real stand out in the earlier ones is Blood Money.
A lot of people didn't like Absolution, I though it was ok, but there were a lot of plot holes that were left in the story that didn't make sense, and some of the levels were repetitive compared to older Hitman games. (Only so many ways to assassinate a Chinaman it seems.)

Play the fucking last two
The problem with Absolution is that "the Chinaman" was literally the only fucking assassination in the entire game, it was a load of horseshit and "well it was a good game, just not a hitman game!" is little consolation for someone that doesn't give a shit about modern games, cawadoody or Splinter Cell style stealth
I would have never given the series a passing glance after that, I assumed it was just another casualty of the industry, but they actually expanded on the formula they began to perfect in Blood Money and pretended Absolution never happened

hitman 2016/18 are still my favorite games to date and they make me keep coming back every time so i can assassinate targets however i like

if they pretended absolution never happened why did they refine it's engine for hitman 2016?

I'm obviously not speaking literally, H2016 was essentially the mechanics of Absolution built into the formula of Blood Money, which is how it always should have been.
The setting of the game completely ignored that Absolution ever took place (other than a brief shot of killing the strip club manager in the Legacy cinematic) and all of the other drastic changes to the formula were discarded.

Actually, Absolution had 4-5 good assassination levels. Chinatown (plus a larger, revamped version with more targets used for a later mission), the R&D facility, the penthouse condo, and my personal favorite, the small midwestern town (Hope). Absolution wasn't a bad game apart from a few really terrible linear stealth levels.

Yeah, I actually dug Streets of Hope. In the context of a competent Hitman game I don't know how much it would stand out, but it was a neat little map and all the more appreciated when the rest of the game is sneaking through libraries. Absolution just pisses me off to this day with the potential it wasted and I refuse to give it any credit, even at points I wanted to revisit it to experiment with a different way of killing a target (like in the strip club or revisiting Chinatown) I was forced to spend the first half of the level avoiding cops in and forced to participate in their retarded edgy Americana crime story.

The comment on the Chinaman comes from previous experience of having played the other games, IRCC there are at least three instances of assassinating a Triad boss from a tower with a high powered rifle, and it was more a comment that some of the actual assassination missions weren't that original.

I've yet to play the next two, but I'm hoping they are good. I've got a soft spot in my heart for the franchise at this point, so it really hurts when they pull out a dud, or cover old ground.

Fair point, that was a pretty bunk aspect of that game being chased down by a choppa, and then essentially having to bitch sneak your way through the whole of the police department, while trying to grab collectibles was shit.

Ahh my bad in my haste to sperg out about Absolution I just thought you were talking about the King of Chinatown

 

[HavenlyKingdom]

So I replayed Blood Money, gotta say, feels jarring how different 47 was in that game. He was much more brutal and ruthless in cutscenes compared to the other games. Also while some levels are fucking great (The crow one for example) some feel dated for me. The one in the ship I didn't like it at all.

ROADMAP BAYBEE

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

Been watching StealthGamerBR's playthroughs of Hitman 2 and it is amazing how bonkers it can get. My favorite so far is the one in Miami, solely because you can push the target over the railing and have his daughter kill him, which causes the car to flip over and kill her. Overflowing the sink, throwing various items at people's heads, and fumigating the house with a poisonous frog were good as well.

Nothing beats killing the woman and her thong wearing boyfriend
