Thread 722838817

IOI devs are trying too hard with Hitman.

They've turned Agent 47 into a superspy that only kills ebil supervillains, instead of him being an amoral assassin that works for the highest bidder.

>>722838817 (OP)
Yes. Wish they kept 47 terrifying instead of prop comedian bald James Bond superhero.

>>722840558
What does he do with all the money he earns from killing?

>>722840980
Buying guns and feeding his canary

>>722838817 (OP)
The missions do show that he enjoys his job and only cares about money. It's his handler that sends him after evil supervillains.

As much as I like nuhitman, if you can't see how fucking pozzed they are then you are already lost.
First redflag is that they never made a level with these kinky parties going on where all women are in skimpy clothing and they are all massively thick.

>>722838817 (OP)
He delegates the role of his conscience to Diana

>>722843140
After getting to fondle her tits before faking her death in Absolution, 47 started fucking her every day off from that moment forth, and he never looked for any other set of tits ever again.

>>722838817 (OP)
He was never amoral

>>722838817 (OP)
Its true that ioi trying to hard to fuck nuMan as hard as possible with shitty update and bs live service but 47 mostly kills bad people
Go play older games

>>722838817 (OP)
If you piss off someone enough to hire 47, chances are you're a pretty bad person.

>>722838817 (OP)
No one will hire a top class hitman to kill some buddist monk when they can simply pay some junkie to do it for dirt cheap

>>722843830
people like to whine about 47 only killing bad people in the new games when across the entire franchise, the least bad person he kills is probably joseph clarence and even he let a bunch of children die by knowingly ignoring safety procedures

>>722840980
Probably donates it to the church >>722843739

>>722838817 (OP)
The second game is about Agent 47 working at a church to cleanse his dark dark sins and he only goes back to the killing gig to protect the innocent priests

>>722843503
I mean... wouldn't you?

>>722843885
>>722844476
he kills a usual food critic in hitman woa though

>>722846263
Elusive target does not count

>>722846396
well thats fair. whats next, the delivery guy in blood money doesn't count either?

>>722846396
how about patient zero? his only crime was being infected

>>722848147
greater good, sweetie

>>722846396
Makes sense, it's not like they're canonical as shown when they appear during the ICA database wipe in End of an Era or anything

>>722846627
the delivery guy worked for the franchise

I wish nuHitman wasn't an expensive and confusing mess to buy. Merging each installment into one was a mistake. Who the fuck would ever want to buy only 1/3 or 2/3 of a game?

>>722846263
isnt that just ashens?

>>722849505
I bought whole game except 7 deadly sin and one othe dlc for just 20bucks during freelance update

>>722849505
The thing that i hate the most is that Hitman 1 and 2 had diferences in gameplay compared to 3 and each other,
so now you can't never have the original experience unless you bought the most expensive version of all 3 games
before it got delisted..which obviously i didn't.

From C47 to Absolution, which one is your favorite? I'm torn between SA and BM

>>722838817 (OP)

While I'll agree that 47's character has done a pretty much 180 (for better or for worse), it doesn't bother me too much particularly. I enjoyed WOA from beginning to end. The story for HITMAN games has been largely irrelevant. Something to explain why you're at some exotic location. Which is how a video game story should be; something that serves the gameplay.

I liked what they were attempting to do when they setup HITMAN 2016 with the tastefully done CGI sequences. It dripped as some kind of spy thriller. Still miss the original background/music from 2016.

And to clarify, I wouldn't appreciate such changes being done to a franchise that's more story/lore centered, or that possesses a deeper character. Hitman being such a gameplay-centric...game...means they can try different stuff out for flavor and I'm fine with it. Shit, Hitman has always had its rough patches, even from the first game which I absolutely hated.

LIQUEFYING

>>722841406
And do you think it's believable that a mercenary organisation motivated would solely take on work to kill objectively evil people? Get real. If it was realistic, 47 would be killing Latin American socialist presidents and people critical of Israel.

>>722838817 (OP)
Why did he kill Charlie Kirk

>>722840980
Hair treatment programs and an endless supply of black suits and red ties.

>>722838817 (OP)
I liked the WoA story, for what little there is. The umbrella talk in chongqing was great.

>>722860942
>The umbrella talk in chongqing was great.
that was characterization not story
the writing is fine but the plot its self is kind of a rushed mess
i mean 47 having a long lost clone brother who retained his memories should serve as a reflection of all that 47 himself could have been but they completely waste that

>>722857397
bitch is ugly as fuck with that horrible tattoo, if that was old hitman she would have massive bazongas like those JAV girls.
They did nail the "bitchy" personality though.

>>722860561
wtf, 47 is a mossad agent now?!?

>>722860561
>crime noticed
>noticed kill
>recorded evidence
>equipment left at the scene
>unsuppressed shot
>not a headshot
no way 47 was behind this unless it was a proxy kill

>>722838817 (OP)
I mean like 95% of the targets you kill across the series are worse than most of the targets you kill in Reboot.

Do y'all not remember Meat King and his freak pedophile brother? I bet half you fuckers don't even know what Contracts is without googling it.

Hitman 2 is basically him being a good guy trying to save a Catholic priest.

Like the only guy he kills who may have not deserved it was Swing King. Rest of them are like harden criminals, freaks, assassins, or people that are complete bastards.

Yea the new story was very secret spy feeling, but that's because they were doing something different and we're pivoting toward making the James Bond idea.

>>722862071

It makes sense honestly, good people typically don't have assassins coming after them
no one is going to call a hit on someone that runs a legitimate charity organization or something and 47 is too expensive to really bother with something like killing some guy's wife

>>722861745
>crime noticed

He was never seen while committing the crime so no.

All the other stuff you mentioned wouldn’t have impacted his silent assassin rating

Basically

>no witnesses (that actually saw 47)
>no bystanders killed
>killed by single shot

>>722863884
>All the other stuff you mentioned wouldn’t have impacted his silent assassin rating
body found

>>722861745
he was going for the sniper challenge

>>722863884
if a non accident death is witnessed it voids silent assassin, no exceptions

>>722866082
hitman would never canonically be anything but SASO
a master of disguise blends in so good he doesnt even need a disguise

Hitman games are 90% on GOG, should I hit the bullet if stealth games aren't my favorite genre?

>>722866167
>no exceptions
>target 1 witnesses you kill target 2
>upon killing target 2 SA is restored

>>722866447
hitman is babymode stealth, you can take out guards and destroy cameras and nobody cares

>>722866509
it still voids SA until you kill the second target, pinhead

>>722866613
collateral before it properly registers maybe?

>>722844476
The postman in BM
The journalist and the priest at the funeral in BM
The private investigator in Contracts
All canon kills who dindu nuffin even moreso than mistah swang kang

>>722866860
collateral kills as numan defines them must include a non-target NPC, and thus will always void SA

>>722866943
>as numan defines them
pedantic, a piercing double headshot on two targets one seeing the other briefly before dying themselves then

>>722840980
Canonically, he uses it to learn new things to become a better assassin

>>722867213
if the death is witnessed then SA is voided no matter how fast it is, if there's too little time for them to see it then it wasn't witnessed

>>722860380
Who gives a fuck? What's with you insane retard political obsessed dicklets who think everything needs to reference LE REAL LIFE or have some sort of real life proxy

>>722838817 (OP)
47 has always killed bad guys. In the entire franchise there's only like 2 or 3 targets who arguably don't deserve it.

>>722867418
still want to wear boscos suit

>>722860380
47 is the most expensive assassin on the planet. People who want good people dead don't need someone of his caliber because most good people aren't surrounded by bodyguards and security systems 24/7.

>>722860380
You don't get it.
47 kills plenty of "boring" targets. The player only gets to see the "fun" missions.

>>722838817 (OP)

not very stealthy
i expect he is the most capable but not the most expensive

There's six gorillion assassins employed by the ICA doing hits, they have other people to handle killing some guy's annoying boss or neighbor lady who lets her dogs bark too loud at night. They send 47 after supervillains because he's their top guy and best suited for it.

>>722854978

>>722863691
I was so fucking hyped watching this only for the game to completely miss the tone of this trailer. Whoever made the trailer made a better Hitman then IOI

>>722867704
Canonically he did 3% of all the ICA's jobs one year and those jobs accounted for 37% of their yearly income

>>722868754
there are other assassins and assassination organizations than the ICA though

isn't the blue octopus an antisemetic symbol?

>>722838817 (OP)
He's not amoral.
Given his skills and reputations, he'd only get jobs on big targets. That kind of leaves only big assholes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYHUP_atdiw

>>722840980
I always wanted a mission that was just 47 on one of his days off. And he's got a nice house in the suburbs, and he helps the old lady next door bring in the groceries, and invites the neighbor over to watch a football game and drink some beers.
All the mission objectives would just be the chores.

>>722870723
>He's not amoral.
He absolutely is. He has no morals or inhibitions, he was designed and trained to not have any feelings except the satisfaction of a silent kill.
He's just such a top-tier assassin in an agency with all kinds of layers of insulation and compartmentalization don't put someone like 47 on the "murder children" jobs. He's killing crimelords, politicians, and industrial barons.

>>722840980
>>722840980
what he doesn't invest back into his business is spent on custom tailored suits and fine dining. the rest is donated to charity. 47 doesn't want anything more than to be a globe trotting assassin

>>722838817 (OP)
That's why Absolution is the best.

I miss the 47 AI voice memes
I just like hearing him speak about silly things

>>722854978
Damn the lighting really has improved, I played the Japan level during release and I don't recall the bathroom looking this good.

That's just your downtime at the freelancer safe house

He always killed bad guys.

>>722843140
As much as I miss the campy, grungy, over the top nature of the other games, the current games have a much more realistic art style, and within that art style, there are plenty of missions where girls run around in bathing suits.

>>722860380
More like evil crime lords make lots of enemies.

>>722840558
Now that they got to make a real Bond game maybe they'll go back to grimdark for the next Hitman?

>>722872063
>>we'll pay you $300k to murder him
i wish freelancer used actual money instead or merces
and that said money would be drained on various supplies: ammo,suits,fuel,travel costs,bribes, even stuff for the house

Seems pretty amoral to me.

>>722838817 (OP)
Maybe making the main motivation money for a guy who doesn't care that much about money wasn't the best idea.

>>722872821
what kind of militants were these guys anyway they're just kind of hanging out on their farm plotting terrorism for no reason

>>722873689

because their hyper-capable and enigmatic leader has set them on the path of taking down certain powerful people with unclear connections

>>722863691
There's something about Square-Eidos trailers of the 2010s like nu Hitman and Deus Ex HR

>>722873443
Does 47 even care about anything at all?

>>722874734
Just doing the job he is given. At the end of the day he is and always will be a tool that was invented for a single purpose and he will be always happiest fulfilling that purpose. But for some reason we can't have that and he needs to have his own agenda and fuck around.

>>722874734
>>722875134
play silent assassin, he had a whole attempted penance arc ultimately resigning to his purpose

You can so easily make a hitman game with a great plot. Agent 47 just needs to be the plot device itself and not the protagonist.

Imagine the top 1% of the top 1% realize there is one person in the world that can literally kill anyone. Doesn't matter who you are. That person, that hitman for hire can kill literally anyone. No fucking shenanigans, no fucking assassins going after agent 47. The facts are this person is not findable if they don't want to be. They are unkillable and they can kill anyone. And the most powerful people in the world are aware of this.

This alone is enough for a great plotline.

>>722840980
He hires himself so he can kill more people

>>722875721
isn't this the plot of absolution and the texan guy going crazy because the "ghost" came to kill him?

>>722874734
>Does 47 even care about anything at all?
The church he donates to and Father Vittorio
He cares about nice suits and fine dining
He cares for some animals like birds and rabbits
He (eventually) cares for Diana, which started around BM
He cares about learning new things so he can fit any role needed while on the job

>>722876781
Hitman Absolution plot is literally the opposite of what I have written.

>>722875721
That plot was done twice
Hitman doesn't need big dramatic plots like it's a movie. C47, SA, Contracts and BM are very memorable without being some giant large scale thing

>>722877119
dont forget his daughter victoria

>>722877405
That plot was literally never done and I can't count how often Agent 47 went trough a humiliation ritual that made it extremely questionable that he has the skills he possesses.

Maybe it's far too late for the plot I have written because who the fuck would seriously be afraid from 47 at this point. A simp and cuck that can easily be tracked and hurt.

>>722840980
builds legos

>>722872196
no they aren't...
The only woman who is even close to sexy is that target on colombia and the cartel boss wife.
All the other women are very plain and flat.
Crazy that Diana is one of the better looking on the entire game, and she is a hag.

>>722877475
is that how he calls the bird?

also he kinda cares for that asian whore who shows up in a few places, and that American agent who is his "friend" and you are always saving him.

Are there any games that tried to copy hitman ? Any recs ? (preferably not released like 10y ago)

IO Interactive's output was so diverse before they went indie. Now, it's all Hitman, and now 007. For fuck's sake, they made Mini Ninjas.

im glad i enjoy videogames more than tortureporn

Nu-Hitman is written by Reddit and women. They can't handle his character so they made him a self-aware quipper like in their Marvel movies - the only fiction they consume.

>>722884902
this isn't real... right?

>>722884789
I'm talking about the general feel and look of the games, not how brutal you can be with the kills. I'm not expecting them to go with the Contracts style again but even C47 had a more "real" and gritty feel to it that you'd expect from a game about an assassin. The new ones feel like superspy movies made in a laboratory.

>>722838817 (OP)
I don't even recognise anything after Blood Money canon
47 went off to do his own thing and the Agency went underground while it rebuilt itself
A spin off alternate universe where the Agency cloned another 47 for themselves because they wanted to keep the contracts rolling in is what the new Hitman games are
That explains why it's so different and he acts so fucking human and can actively converse with his targets or take up roles where he's not just a forgettable background element but has to take the main stage

>>722884902
>the only fiction they consume.
ironic that this is fiction anons consume

>>722840980
Donates it to churches for absolution and also rabbit sanctuary charities
After spending what he needs on hideouts, bribes, access and equipment of course
Being the best in the business means high running costs

>>722838817 (OP)
Congratulations, you just now realized they don't understand Hitman, you're about a decade later though

WoA saved the series after the train wreck known as absolution

>>722838817 (OP)
I couldn't get into nuHitman1. It's more like a Disney ride with great graphics, than a real Hitman game. They should have made a GTA online style open world map for freelancer.

Gameplay is a little more clunky (camera most notably). Tone and atmosphere are PEAK.

I'm still trash at this game so he can't kill shit and dies all the time just to wake up in medical bay, what a shit assassin.

>trannies put DRM on the MOD MANAGER
they've gone too far

>>722885757
TY for the comments. I'll give it a shot.

>>722885602
In the actual games, 47 doesn't straight up just kill "evil people". He gets paid to kill sometimes innocent people purely so someone can profit off it : /

Your reddit brain would hate that, wouldn't it

>>722885672
it's great until the second half where it just remakes C47's levels

i dont like how nu-hitman is about finding fancy and funny ways to kill the targets
in the actual hitman games you just shoot them with a silenced pistol or strangle them, the actual challenge is about getting to the target and running away without being seen

>>722863158
>good people typically don't have assassins coming after them
>no one is going to call a hit on someone that runs a legitimate charity organization or something
And even if they do, like another anon said, they usually don't have personal bodyguards and security teams around them 24/7 nor would you have to get someone as expensive and skilled as 47. The missions where you assassinate good people would be fucking boring by comparison and the only real merit would be a short mission highlighting the difference to make it incredibly grim and sating some people's desire for the games to be edgier.

>>722886201
Real Hitman:
>give the target food poisoning, follow him to a dim, stinking bathroom, and shoot him in the head

As mentioned earlier, this is what women writers get you.

there is literally nothing stopping you from playing that way
not gonna tailor the game for you princess

>>722885684
Who is 47's favourite girl?

>>722886710
I'm stopping myself from playing them at all because they're shit
the games ooze with that post-ironic female/zoomer energy, everywhere from their visual design to writing to gameplay. that shit is not hitman

>>722886517
nuHitman 1 feels like absolution with linear gameplay and lots of eye candy. Like it was made by someone who played earlier ones, but didn't understand why the gameplay was good.

A good example is BM's "a dance with the devil." You have multiple options on how to open the level, or disguises to get. Sapienza isn't as fun. It's big and linear. Please correct me if it's one of the best levels.

I love woa but contract has the atmosphere, even blood money is inferior to contract

The level of sheer contrarianism on this board somehow still increases.

>>722887434
Good taste seems contrarian to those with shit taste.

Personally I always thought Codename47 was the most polished entry to the franchise.

>>722887434
is that what you said when we shat on absolution too?

Honestly it's Hitman GO or bust.

>>722885873
Always online on a single player game is the death knell of any game, even if it's good. Hitman was building into a massive scale world map with nuHitman1. They should have made something like GTA-online with dwarf fortress level of NPCs.

>>722887790
>Always online on a single player game is the death knell of any game, even if it's good.
ohhh so thats why gtaonline made billions and nuhitman is still releasing new modes and shit
cry harder

>>722885468
If the level is more open ended like WoA then it's absolute kino, but they're literally corridor shits and SASO is not really a viable option in some level, also fuck instinct burn for disguise this is my main pet peeve for absolution

>>722838817 (OP)
Is there a single target in the series who isn't a bad person in some way?

>>722888402
IDK what schizo shit you made up. If hitman had a gta online style world map, then it would have made a lot more money. Especially if there were heist style missions that needed collaboration.

>>722838817 (OP)
Impossible to get the grittiness of Hitman Contracts back. God I miss it. But i mean I'm grateful that Hitman is even still alive though. Imagine being a Splinter Cell fan, that's true suffering. All you got was one dud with Absolution in this series. Splinter Cell might as well be six feet under after 2 crappy games. Minus spies vs mercs on Blacklist, the was the good part of the game. What I'm trying to say is that even though Hitman doesn't feel as dark games anymore, they're still alright with their gameplay. The major stealth games like SC and Thief are dead, so you are more lucky.

>>722887790
even if you own the game you should be using the cracked version of peacock. there is mods too on nexus that make things available offline but i think peacock is easier since it emulates pretty much everything

I'm glad SC is dead and I wish Hitman was too. Series being dead or finished is better than them continuing as completely different games skinwalking as a part of the series.
Nu-Hitman isn't Hitman, the gameplay is completely different. SC died with Conviction/Blacklist and any new games would continue their gameplay styles instead of being actual SC games. Studios just don't make good games anymore

>>722850503
What? Is it?

>>722888460
There's been a few but it's pretty rare. The only one I can recall in the old games that's an actual proper target is the PI your client hired that got caught. In WoA, you kill Dino Bosco just for putting a studio in debt trying to make a good movie. There's also the one architect dude whose only real crime is trying to fuck over a multi million dollar company because he hates his job. Depending on how canon you consider it, it's also likely 47 had to kill genuinely innocent people in Patient Zero to stop the virus and if you really want to push it then one of the side missions is him getting hired to kill other contestants just to rig a garden show.

None of the people bitching about it have even really played the games except maybe as a kid. They just want to whine that new bad because they're miserable faggots.

>>722871912
The one that really killed my gut was the heated exchange between him and Battler. The AI didn't have any trained data of 47 emoting loudly (for obvious reasons) so when he yelled "BATTLER" it sounded so fucking off tone and out of character it split me.

>>722838817 (OP)
I feel like my problem with the WOA trilogy is that the plot kinda went nowhere until midway through the second game. And that it hardly ever felt like you were actually visiting different countries across the world, because you'd hear the same american and english accents almost everywhere. Even in the few times when they did latin american or indian accents, it just felt off.

Didnt he kill the twin sheboons because they were building dooms day shelters or something? seemed pretty evil to me.

>>722888460
in SA he kills a fat computer guy who's his target then learns that he has a twin and kills him too just to be sure

>>722889304
They were tomb raiders who used mercs to kill a bunch of locals. And they were black.

>>722888587
Don't be too happy. Tron Ares just replaced the previous MC with (diversity hire) and dropped a big stinking shit.
>>722888735
I refuse to use mods to fix dev mistakes on principle. This isn't an old neglected game. It's actively developed by a major company.

>>722887480
Contrarianism also seems contrarian to those with good taste.
>>722887520
No, in fact, seeing some anons lately even trying to act like Absolution wasn't trash is part of why I posted that. Do you really assume people who like WoA also like Absolution?

>>722889441
>I refuse to use mods to fix dev mistakes on principle
seems obtuse if the outcome is you get to enjoy a game offline entirely. i don't condone their practices either, but woa is a ton of fun. if not for peacock i would've played through 3's story missions and moved on

personally even when i replay old roms i look for fixes, retranslations, quality of life stuff. if it allows me to enjoy what i want, i'll look into it

>>722889520
Yeah, WoA looks and feels like Absolution. BM was the last Hitman game

>>722887076
Damn she was sexy as fuck

>>722889687
>WoA looks and feels like Absolution.
Not even him, but Absolution is literally a Max Payne game

>>722889687
it even has the hitman vision

>>722889785
Absolution is so based

>>722889785
I didn't like the on rails nature of some of the levels I played in Absolution was my major complaint. The way levels were structured just seemed wrong and incredibly linear in your approaches to them. That's what I remembered about Absolution. And it seems to just discourage creativity in approach in general.

>>722890051
most hitman levels are very linear though

>>722890051
Same, and it carries over into nuHitman 1.
>>722890149
The only rails level in BM is the white house one.

>>722890149
I've been playing through the old games again recently, and while they certainly arent the giant sandboxes that WOA levels are, they were nowhere near the linear setpieces that the majority of Absolution was, either.

>>722889687
>Yeah, WoA looks and feels like Absolution
As if people's main complaint about Absolution was how it looked. The games play incredibly differently which is what's most important to people who actually do play video games instead of just whining about them online. That's why everybody instantly went from having zero faith after Absolution to losing their shit when the Paris level got leaked on here and actually played like a Hitman game.

>>722890352
>played like a Hitman game
it doesn't though

>>722890149
You may consider it as cherry picking, but by the point I reached the mission Run for Your Life I was questioning whether I was even playing a Hitman game anymore. That's what I mean about how this game just went in a dumb direction and 'on rails'. That's what I mean about linearity. It just had nothing to do with freedom in levels at that point, you're being pushed into the sequences that are barely the sandbox stealth the series was known for.

>>722889687
>WoA looks and feels like Absolution
isn't absolution like the prototype for woa where they reused the engine, some models, animations?

>>722890560
yeah

>>722887491
I'm not sure if I was just the biggest shitter at the time, but I unironically got filtered so hard by the chinese level that I ended up not playing it further. idk wtf was up with that level but I just could not get through it by stealthing

>>722870963
He's got that Freelancer safe house. I know they couldn't put too much into it, but it just seems like he works out, cleans the place, does some gardening, and shoots guns in his downtime.

>>722890650
being a silent assassin isnt a thing in C47
even if you're being stealthy, you just have to quickly kill groups of people sometimes

>>722890434
Okay. I miss when shitposters at least had amusing bits or some energy instead of just throwing out the lowest effort contrarian replies they can until they finally bore everybody to death instead of riling them up. Like, how have even the shitposters declined so much on this site? Have a good night, I guess, anon.

>>722873689
From a Euro perspective, they're an international version of the American militia movement that, thanks to their training, are elite footsoldiers for Gray's anti-1% army.

In reality, the American militia movement is 95% FBI honeytraps and 5% survivalist loners that wouldn't have 1/10th the funding and capabilities shown in Colorado. They'd be Providence's dumb, throwaway stooges.

>>722882191
I really enjoy choking them out and then dragging them around to pose their unconscious bodies with 47.

>>722890051
Absolution isn't a Hitman game, it's a Jason Bourne game and it's a fantastic one. Every complaint people have with it stems from trying to play it like something it's not.

Case in point: the disguise system. People say it's broken because it doesn't let you saunter around levels for 40 minutes like Blood Money. But that's not what it's for. It's to get you past one room or halfway down a hallway full of cops before you get spotted and slam a book in a guy's throat before shooting 20 people.

>>722891087
So what are the hopes for the Bond game?

>>722891186
0. Studio run by women and Redditors now. Absolution has guys calling each other fag every two minutes.

>>722838817 (OP)
>amoral assassin that works for the highest bidder
Was he really like this? I've only beaten Blood Money, Absolution, and WoA. Played like half of Contracts, need to finish it. Played like five minutes of Hitman 1 but it was probably the worst controlling game I've ever experienced.

Was 47 really just emotionless and amoral in 1 and 2? Because from 3 onward it seems like he only kills cartoonishly evil guys aside from the delivery guy and camera guy in Blood Money.

>>722891087
Nah, every year I do a stealth run in Absolution, you can easily stealth and cheese every part of the game.

>>722891186
gameplay looks fine especially if they do something like freelancer which becomes the default non-story mode. the characters look from the trailer looks like sweet baby inc made them though

>>722859295
Contracts

>>722891960
he takes any well paying job and does whatever he's told to do but I wouldn't call him emotionless and amoral
Silent Assassin opens up with him being retired and working as a gardener at a Church and he confesses to the priest about his past and feeling guilty and how he's a bad person. Contracts' story is him remembering his past missions while being on the brink of death
It's clear that he's a very conflicted person and does feel at least some guilt about what he's doing, but in the end he keeps being an assassin. That's just who he is

in the 2nd hitman movie, agent 47, at the end when the elevator opens and its another 47 but he's actually bald, does that mean the 47 we watched through the whole movie wasn't the real one? i heard the actor refused to shave his head, but that doesnt make much sense given the role is for a dude with a shaved head. it makes more sense anyways that it wasn't really 47 the whole time

One thing nobody talks about contract are these well made cinematic
https://youtu.be/aJDBulaTfcA?si=D3C1RzwLBWRASc3g

>>722893013
then they just stop halfway through the game

I love freelancer mode, to the point where I bought the DLCs just so I could have more weapons to buy

>>722893328
if theres stuff you dont own you should check nexus. theres a mod that replaces some stuff you'd need dlc for with other weapons so at least its more to collect

def get freelancer variations and hantu port sandbox as mods too. freelancer variations adds diff times of day and a bit more randomness, but also adds the hawk bay map to the rotation, and the hantu port

>>722893328
freelancer variations
>https://www.nexusmods.com/hitman3/mods/437

hantu port
>https://www.nexusmods.com/hitman3/mods/588

check the authors other stuff too he's like a main creator to look for. even his accent addon is great.

>>722872328
Yeah that's the biggest disappointment with freelancer to me. Having a more 'hardcore' mode where there is multiple stuff like that to manage on TOP of what you have to already do would be great. Make it so that doing things like a professional would be rewarding not just for the payment, but also by keeping costs low. You could still have a way for people to go guns blazing by having ammo be free for those contracts that want you to do a loud assassination.

>>722838817 (OP)
>Amoral
Name a single target (1) of Agent 47's that didn't have it coming. Even the blonde mudshark in Blood Money I pushed off a balcony did.

>>722894483
cheers, I'll check those out, but I assume I can only use them with offline mode? All my progress so far I've made in online mode

>>722896914
i hadn't considered online (i use peacock) that but i see for freelancer variations there is some way to do online, but you'll have to read about it

>>722896590
he kills a reporter in contracts, and maybe that priest at the end of BM

>>722838817 (OP)
>They've turned Agent 47 into a superspy that only kills ebil supervillains
You mean, like in the original game where he kills triads, coke lords, mercenaries and a gun runner who for some reason has a fucking NUCLEAR WARHEAD on his ship?

>>722838817 (OP)
47 needs a No Way Home treatment and return to being a nobody assassin.

>>722897665
>return to being a nobody assassin
in what game was he a nobody assassin?

47 is about him killing his dads because his main daddy told him so

the entire plot of 2 revolves about him being a superhuman whom various parties try to exploit

>>722877604
can't believe they took away her undies
no fun allowed

I miss the horror elements of the first games. Not the gore, but the feeling that the whole world behind 47 was disgusting as fuck and full of terrible people.

>>722840980
Magic cards.

>>722885604
Go with God, motherfucker.
