I love Hitman but it's time to admit that anything before Blood Money plays like complete fucking ass

>>716214229 (OP)
I never claimed otherwise.

>>716214294
It's settled then

>>716214229 (OP)
I never got into these games but I enjoyed 2 more. I played wrong and just shot everything in first person mode though. It felt like speedrunning goldeneye

anything before Contracts*
FTFY
it may not be the most open-ended neither developed as Blood Money, but it has the best damn atmosphere and scenery in the series.

It's time to admit than anything after Absolution is garbage.

Hitman 2 is still fun despite some big stinkers

nuhitman isn't hitman

Yawn

I hate IOI so goddamn much.

Fuck always online FOMO bullshit, twitch drops, tik tok drops and more cancerous shit

I accept your concession, subhuman.

>>716215385
when will IOI make a level where 47 has to do blackface to fit in with the locals

>>716214229 (OP)
Having played all of those games and having gotten the top possible ratings in all of them, you're right. The lesson in game design I took away from it is that sometimes making things more realistic just makes the game more frustrating and less fun.

>>716214229 (OP)
Contracts is playable. A little more 'clunky' if you want but playable.

>>716215306
Literally the other way around
The old games had a lot of charm and atmosphere but gameplaywise they are unbearable
If they had gotten Jesper Kyd to do the OST for the trilogy it would have improved 200%

>>716214949
Maybe you should try playing the game the way its meant to be played

>>716215605

kek more like you just accepted being a dragon ball spic

You're just being a dumb contrarian now if you think anything before Blood Money is enjoyable to play

>>716216037
Contracts is proto Blood Money and the 2nd most easiest game in the "original" series.
2SA is 70% enjoyable if you're not a dumbass that couldn't figure out how the jank works and I'm not referring to the glitch
Even C47 is about 70% enjoyable
25% of 2SA and 30% of C47 are abysmal dogshit.

>>716215825
made me laugh. you're alright anon

>>716216260
>all those percentages
Hitman: Silent Autist

>>716215285
WoA is Hitman perfected.

Contracts is the best one and you can suck my balls.

>decide to play more freelancer and put on some videos/podcasts on the other monitor
>hey, may as wel ltry some challenge shit while i'm at this
>start with one that sounds ass, poison
>3 different ones for it
>one of just like 25 poison kills on leaders and members, easy enough
>other two is fucking 10 natural/crafted and 10 pills on leaders
That is so fucked. Those leader kills can only work if the target is a foodie or dehydrated.

Just finished contracts and blood money, gonna skip absolution. Got woa to play through the trilogy. Should I play on master mode? Or professional with all the helper options off? I'd like it to play more like the previous games with minimal handholding, though I did like buying intel in blood money. What's the best set up?

>>716214229 (OP)
I really like Contracts, its a great one, and the music was amazing in it.
It does fall off hard late into the game, the last couple of missions were bad, but the first 66% was pretty great, overall its a great Hitman game.
Underrated af

>>716219052
>gonna skip absolution
Why does everybody hate Absolution these days? I understand being angry at the time at the prospect that the franchise could pivot away from the classic Hitman formula, but in retrospect that didn't happen and it returned to it in the following installments. It's of course much different than the other Hitman games, but I had a lot of fun with it. Yes, the story is extremely campy, but it has a certain charm to it. One thing that I don't like about it is that it has basically no replay value. And I do prefer games like Blood Money and Hitman 2016. But I also think Absolution is fun for what it is.

>>716220202
WOA/BM babies cannot handle games where the disguises aren't a borderline invisibility button.

>>716215047
Absolution is a fun game but it killed the fun gameplay mechanics of Blood Money. The story was also kinda cool. WoA is more like Blood Money and is replayable but It's not worth $100.

Why did they stop making Silent Assassin kino?

All of the other Hitman outside are bleh and the first one was jank central

>>716214229 (OP)
it's just the first two that are antiquated. contracts is still good to this day.

>>716219152
>the last couple of missions were bad
They were not. They're pretty good despite being remakes of the most basic first 4 levels of Codename 47.
The final mission once you figure out the route to evade the French SWAT, which is fairly trivial, it is unironically the best final mission because it is not a forced shootout with mediocre as fuck shooting mechanics like C47, 2SA, BM and you can get a SA rank.

>>716220202
I don't really want to play a linear game, that's specifically why I'm asking about turning off story missions etc in woa

>>716223648
Even on normal mode you have to go out of your way to enable the story missions. Even when they trigger you have to open a menu to turn on the help.

>>716214229 (OP)
I never played the games after SA, they just don't seem like real Hitman to me

>>716224814
>gachatranny
>retarded
like pottery

C47, Silent Assasin: Hitman
Contracts, BM, Absolution: Hitman that zoomers can play
WoA: Hitman for POCs

you contrarian faggots really say anything for (You)s nowadays.
>>716225346
There you go.

most millennials started with silent assassin but it is unironically the best hitman in the franchise so they'll never shut up about it
kino gameplay
kino music
kino story
no celeb bullshit
no fuck nut running while in disguise

>>716225953
you've seen nothing fag

hitman 1 and 2 were NOVEL. we had nothing like that before. Because of how fresh the concept was, it was certainly rough. I'd argue that even Blood Money's charm is dulled by now because nuhitman does it all but better.

The tones and themes in Contracts and Absolution were pure kino, however. The other games felt too tidy and rich.

>>716226047
i like the new hitman games but turning the whole thing into shooting the richest man in the world as the final goal felt ridiculous.

>>716214229 (OP)
Hitman peaked with Contracts.

>>716224001
Ok I was worried it was all gonna be more like the tutorial missions. What about all the other options like instinct, mini map etc?

Didn't play 1, it's been sitting on my Steam shelf for 2 decades
Started with 2 eons ago
Played Contracts and BM
I think Absolution was the beginning of the end but the story felt more like 2 compared to Contracts and BM
Never played any Hitman since though I got the new one for free but it's a live service, DLC heavy game
