how's it better? i heard it's too easy (like :bustback: thru the entire mission) and not many ways to complete missions as before
Its more cinematic. The atmosphere on these stages is incredible. Walking into an apartment thats being raided by police for drugs while you escape your way through mad cops is great. Far superior to any stage in blood money which in comparison is generic looking. This has all the production value of a square game. It has almost like a Rockstar swag to it.

Its goat watching the characters interact with the police while you worm your way through. More random convos from enemies when they are chasing you, investigating you and talking among themselves. More ways to kill enemies. Different animations for the same weapon. Even if you beat the stage one way, they have a variety of challenges per stage for you to complete which open your eyes to the other ways there are to complete the stage. Better shooting, better death animations, nice ragdoll phyics.


Whoever said that was playing on an easy difficulty. Im playing on the hardest difficulty and its pretty hard to :bustback: through an entire level. Unless you're going to get behind cover and try to head shot every person who comes through you're going to have a tough time, not to mention, you have to deal with the ai which is designed to surround you. Not to mention you will run out of ammo which is not plentiful and you will be murdered. There are guards littering these stages. Its harder to shoot your way out of stages in this game compared to blood money. Then again, im playing on the hardest difficulty so, i dont know why someone would complain about the lesser difficulties. If its too easy, crank it up?

There are a few accident kills on the mark stages (i had an option to kick a man into acid drop shyt on his head from above, catch him slippin at his car but instead i chose to do things another ill way that they designed. If i didnt want to do that, i could have just killed ol boy wherever i felt like it and shot it out with the goonies. There are various weapons littering the stage there are kind of scripted kills where you intercept the enemy doing something stupid, if you pay attention to their convos.

This game hasnt been out long, and these critics have not mastered all these ways yet. People who have been ride or die hitman fans like me are enjoying this. Only people im hearing complaints from are people who havnt played the game and people who arent really hitman fans.

This is a game, you have to own. I cant make it any clearer. Dont cheat yourself by playing on easy and then bytching like that fakkit conan o brian.

Somebody will no doubt prove me wrong almost as soon as the game’s out, but there are a lot of levels I’d struggle to cross without killing guards. It’s certainly less tedious than waiting for them to finish their dialogue and move into a suitable position, and because most maps are so small and self-contained, the consequences are reduced - Translation - I SUCK AT THIS GAME AND WOULD RATHER DO IT THE NEWB WAY. THE GUY USED INSTINCTS TO WALK FROM ONE END OF THE STAGE TO ANOTHER. He was playing on newb because you cant do that on the harder difficulties.

This guy is trash. He has legit points as far as there being a lot of stealth in this game but again, that really depends on how you're playing. When you're escaping from the cops you have to use instincts to just walk by a police officer undetected which has a meter. Otherwise, yes you will be sneakin around them. You dont have to wait for them to complete dialogue. He isnt using the new mechanics of misdirection. When i dont want to listen to these fakkits talk. I pick up an item and throw it in the direction i want them to go, and then i sneak past them. THIS GUY IS TRASH!. There are a lot of ways to do this but the game just came out and i doubt hes covered them all to make an accuracte statement. He himself knows this which is why he said this trash above. People iwll be youtubing for some of these answers. I still dont know how you can walk through some of these stages with just your suit on, but im guessing thats where stealth and misdirection come in. HE SUCK and no game should lose pooints because the player lacks skills of an elite gamer.

This guy is faulting the game for trying to be more then just a game where each stage is a hit. I mastered the hitman games and again, im enjoying this the way it is. Take that as you will.

You gonna see so many hits in this video you might not want to watch this video. This is a better review in my opinion because it speaks on whats good about the game instead of trashing everything the game is not in the eyes of someone who had a pipe dream about the games development in his mind.

Got this sitting in my steam folder, but after reading a ton of impressions on hitmanforum about the disguise(s) being broken, I'm gonna wait until they patch the shyt. Not usually one to go off peoples opinion but this seems like an overwhelmingly bad design decision.

Mowgli pulling every alias to sell this game. I played the last gen hitman games on the ps2 and always thought they had great concepts but failed in execution. I may have to check this one out though. What's the length of the game?
