not fucking mumbai or Colorado

>>717688382
Mumbai is only a pain the first time you play it and Colorado is way better now than it was on launch. Paris is a painfully slow and repetitive map that has most of the classic hitman gear locked behind mastery levels.

>>717688861
slow and repetitive?
that's because you played it to many times it is one of the easiest and most traversable maps in the game and it's not even that big unlike Mumbai which is way too fucking huge and it takes almost an hour to beat it plus its in a shithole. Colorado is completely flat and you have to wear a disguise to even get anywhere,

>>717688382
Paris is incredibly boring

>>717687447 (OP)
After playing 1&2 on PS4, I bought the entire trilogy on Steam for the summer sale because playing these games on console was really dumb in retrospect

I could swear I remember SASO requiring you to play on Master before, did they change it? I'm doing it anyway of course
Excited to get to 3, but I've got to re-earn everything first. Next up is Colorado. Any tips for the Master SASO? I did it before but I remember it being super fucking rough

>>717688382
I do gotta admit, it is kinda lame how easy Paris is, you don't require a disguise to approach either target
It's the first level though so I can let it slide

>>717689282
Actually doing any of the story missions takes forever because of how insanely long the Russian dudes loop is. Lights out takes over ten fucking minutes no matter what you do. Meanwhile the entire map is essentially just a 3 story building where the only real challenge is having to back track repeatedly. Dubai only looks big and the targets both have fun optional kills and can just be killed at your leisure.
>Colorado is completely flat and you have to wear a disguise to even get anywhere,
Skill issue

This game is fun, but the replay value is kinda stale. The alternative kill methods don't offer much of anything.

is hitman blood money an extraction shooter?

Would've been cool as fuck if we got a airport level in Denmark or somewhere in western europe

>>717690151
I mean if you're just talking about the mission stories, sure, but even they add a way to fuck with NPC scripting to produce more entertaining kills
The whole game lends itself really well to challenge runs and speedruns and shit.

>>717689335
Its significantly easier now that you can hide in the grass. All 4 targets can be taken out with accident kills from a distance without much trouble.

>>717688137
I'm just happy for Scotland to be included.

what a shit take, Marrakesh is a garbage level. I hope this is rage bait.

>>717689335
IIRC, there was separate normal and hard challenges for SASO, but I think only in Hitman 1. Or something like that anyway.

>>717690654
I remember that one retard doesn't leave the basement so there's at least one I have to actually try for

>>717690601
>gets rumbled by a sniffer dog

>>717690980
Lol no he's by far the easiest. He regularly goes to a small shed near the house with only two guards that can easily be taken out. He also smokes right by a lawnmower that can be made to leak gas.

>>717689335
you'll want a lockpick
the girls can both be accidented by sniper from the water tower
you can exit the level without using the 3D printer if you lure rose into the basement from the stairs

>>717689335
>>717691341
FYI you dont need to enter the shelter after your first playthrough.

>>717691772
thought that was just for missions other than freedom fighters?

>>717691772
I always thought it was weird that people complained about that, because after unlocking the other exits, I still felt the basement one was the easiest and most convenient to get to

>>717689335
oh and dont overdose the basement guy or berg just sits all depressed in the garden

Marrakesh is shit tier with India and Colorado

at first i disliked marrakesh for its layout
then i grew to like marrakesh for its shortcuts and details
then i grew to hate marrakesh after grinding for that damn crystal ball in 2016

>>717692206
Marrakesh is great. One of the few two target maps that actually feels like its designed for two targets.

>>717692791
It's the worst of both worlds
>two targets on entirely separate areas of the map that have be infiltrated separately, making the whole process an exercise in tedium once you have your route down
>And none of the actual challenge since you always have the option of just sending the poisoned food to one of the targets, bypassing the need to infiltrate his area entirely

>>717693098
>leave explodey phone in path toward meeting place
>arrange meeting
there you go no poison and only had to infiltrate one spot

>>717693098
What? Its the best version of that set up in the game.
>both target locations are easy enough to infiltrate and have their own set of options for what to do once you're inside.
>at the same time both targets can still be taken out without ever having to set foot inside either location
>all of this can consistently be done in a fairly short amount of time with almost no back tracking or other time wasting fuckery

>>717693905
Oh and most importantly
>both target locations are visually distinct

Did they add that later? I'm sure I remember trying to use his unconcious body to trigger the face scanner

press q to complete the objective before leaving :^)

So is Absolution still cannon? I always found it weird how they directly reference it in the intro but then spend the next 3 games pretending it never happened.

what do i do after SASO all missions

>>717694738
Wait for ETs?

>>717693905
School is a complete pain to do on Master
And the only real way to take out Claus while he's in the embassy without entering it is sniping him, which will of course ruin your score
I would have less of a problem with the map if the same was true of Zeydan. I actually like Sgail quite a bit because it really leans in to being a challenge. Both targets are to difficult to approach and far from each other, but it works better there because the starting locations are right near of the targets, yet despite that it's still quite difficult to kill her without getting caught

>all of this can consistently be done in a fairly short amount of time with almost no back tracking or other time wasting fuckery
I'll admit it's better than pointlessly huge maps like Mumbai but it's the premise is flawed in the first place.

i would like to just pretend absolution never happened and any references to it are purely aesthetic

>>717694738
Do challenges that unlock gear you'd like to have?

>>717694738
filter challenges by rewards to unlock all the fun toys
complete mastery for each level to unlock more fun toys
do escalations/contracts for some variety on familiar levels
do freelancer for a whole new game
wait for coop to release
get VR and recomplete the entire game
mod the game to have all the levels in freelancer

>all sa missions sucks
Every single time

>>717694817
>School is a complete pain to do on Master
Not really? At least I dont remember it being that bad
>And the only real way to take out Claus while he's in the embassy without entering it is sniping him, which will of course ruin your score
I don't see that as a major issue then again I really enjoy sniping in these games and was never a fan of how its treated as the red headed step child of methods in the new trilogy
>I actually like Sgail quite a bit because it really leans in to being a challenge.
I have very few nice things to say about it. Especially on the first few playthroughs before you've unlocked the other approaches. Its always felt like a map that was built around spectacle rather than gameplay.
>Ah, you like theme parks, that explains it
What? These maps are meant to be played multiple times, of course I enjoy the ones that feel like they actually had some thought put into their appearance.

oh and dont forget the sniper from sniper assassin that unlocks for the main game
