Oh, I didn't realize untill now 🤗🙂

Even then at least in Hitman Blood Money, the game that I played a lot in the past. There are still plenty of killing methods for us to take if we screwed up one method we planned before. So for me the "trial and error" doesn't make sense and the new devs at that time probably just wanna make your typical 3rd shooter game.

Ayyyyyyyyyyyy!

The reason i personally enjoy restarting levels, is the ability to observe how different interactions play out, and how certain elements interact with each other. I might be wrong on some levels, but the majority has so many different interactions that it's most likely impossible to exhaust them all in a single playtrough.

It feels really Dark Souls-y (I’m so sorry for that comparison) But when you die you don’t feel like giving up, and even if you associate the deaths with failure they’re just a way to understand everything better

When contract mode went dark i lost all interest because for some fucking reason you can only play the story which limits loadouts

You like sneaking around dont you ??

Why am I not surprised seeing you here, Critical? Lol As I hope Cvit to cover Hitman 3 I sincerely hope to see your input as well! Until then take care!

Love your vids mate, but Kane & Lynch: Dead Men was badass!

The new trilogy does the exact same, keyhole peeking and relying on sound queues is a thing of the past now apparently

@@HarbingerOfTruth1 Instinct is completely different in the new game, it doesn't drain away and you don't need to use it when near people in the same disguises

Yeah, and now I' hoping that another dev company makes a comeback, Overkill from the Payday series. I hope they make it. It's like every game series I like is made by companies that gets in these messy situations.

@Mentor Altaïr ibn la'Ahad the sad part about slinter cell is that ubisoft may be just uninterested in a sequel. They are a large company afterall

Hole project 007 is a masterpiece.

LOL you clowns can keep that reskinned “trilogy” absolution has a story and not mission kill mission kill $60 reskins

Someone still think absolution story better than world of assassination trilogy... Ok I guess lol

Yeah same , playing it like a hitman game was frustrating tbh , so I just played it on easy and went crazy ( tbh sometimes I feel this was the game they wanted to make from tge beginning )

If you want a game that feels like you are John Wick play Max Payne 3

io should make a john wick game, if it was lead by the right folks it could be really cool

@@BrianBrianBrianBrianBrian maybe not a John wick game but they are working a James bind game right now and that seems like it could be phenomenal Edit: This coming who’s barely seen any James Bond or 007 media and hasn’t even watched a single movie

@@Way2MLG4u I've only ever seen Dr. no so i cant really say I'm super into the series either, but it definitely has promise. I guess ill keep an eye out for that one. Cheers

Perfect comparison

Oh god I forgot about that trailer with the nuns.

The same sexy nuns that had an S&M sex session with another antagonist earlier

I think that any one of the elements could work well if well implemented, having 47 kill Diana could be a very powerful moment, but it would require for it to be built up over the course of the game (so not in the beginning) and be the result of something huge. Having 47 go on the quest to save a little girl from becoming like him could be a very good plot with ways to actually get hindsight on the character's psyche. And SM nuns can be good because it's SM nuns and that sounds pretty much like one of the whacky ideas I can definitely see in Hitman with the mix of religious symbolism, decadence and violence. The real problem is having all 3 at the same time whilst not giving much set up or pay off to any of those and they end up feeling cheap and robbed. You could have a game where 47 slowly starts to turn against the Agency for some reason and at some point even ends up killing Diana or you could have 47 do his normal missions but in one he encounters a little girl that is supposed to become like him and then he takes a personal decision to rescue her and then in between missions you have him try to help this girl to find a new life and be safe. Both plots could really work and be completely fine, they just royally screwed up in the execution department

To be fair, it’s revealed at the end of the game that Diana is alive

@@therock238360 Yeah, I distinctly remember that and I haven't even played any Hitman game. Surprised that people are making that basic of a mistake in recollecting this. On the other hand, you could say that the game is really memorable, as I have little interest in the series and can remember basically the entire game blow by blow having watched one playthrough when it first came out.

No....no..2016 hitman just...wasnt a good game lets be honest

@@RealTeX1 It was a great game.

@CARPAINTM3 ha haha yeah okay better then blood money? You mean with episodes every month lmao or the terrible levels or the zero story or better yet the complete lack of actual game it took forever to actually have the full game. Bloody money is better then any hitman game period. If parts of a game is what we consider a "era" shit era

@@RealTeX1 the world of assassination trilogy is great.

@@RealTeX1 it was great loved the crowd mechanics

I enjoyed it too, but it was so far from the traditional formula it was borderline insulting.

same here, surprisingly

I also enjoyed this game but it was my first hitman game and now I play the new hitman trio logo

@@commandershepard7110 You should try original Hitman games - Codename 47, Silent Assasin etc.

that level in the orphanage was one of my favorites of all Hitman locations!

same, also i was a kid when i first did so it was quite fun from all the memories ive had

It’s a Bad game

Yeah i quite enjoyed it. Esp the asylum mission was great. After that i jumped to hitman contracts

I can't play the new ones, i get instantly overwhelmed

the story is bad though

"Ahh... YOU?!"

@@comixproviderftw_02 IMPOSSIBUUUUU

Victoria , where is she ?

@@22blackabdu35 I AIN'T TELLIN YOU SHIIIIIIIIII

@@etrs loco pendijo

There was checkpoints loo

@@natethegreatreviews but the checkpoints suck. I enjoy absolution (sometimes), but the way the checkpoints work aren’t really good.

It was pretty simple and explained at the start of the game and it is the same mechanic that was in hitman 2 silent assasin. If u use disguise from lets say chef the other chefs know each other and it goes on like this with everything. If u use gangster outfit they know each other well so if u get close they recognize it is someone else.

That would have actually been interesting and needed intelligent game and level design, which Absolution does not have.

Ikr? I remember they were so highly publicized that u just assume that they’re gonna be main characters, like they were some OP anime villain group where each one is their own boss battle, it was very disappointing and head-scratching their actual role in the game.

I could even re-write the entire story with the exact same character with the Saints alone. Victoria is a relative of Diana, who is being kidnapped by Travis to become the second 47 under his control. Diana try to fight back and as a result, 47 are being tasked for her execution. However, 47 saved her. Choosing to trust a long time friend rather than some bastard from gods-know-where. As Diana and 47 is on the run, Travis use his position to issue a priority 1A Kill-order on both of them. Effectively turning the entire agency against them. One of the Assassin coming after them are The Saint, a mop-up commando team made up of former female child soldier (to show off the dark side of ICA dealing with human trafficking business) with Blake Dexter and his company being their arms supplier. This would make the game more "blood-money" as you would have the usual Diana briefing, going from place to place as you're on the run as well as THE ACTUAL PLOT! Gameplay would be a more cat-and-mouse as now you're not the hunter like usual. First few mission would be about gathering information, kill ICA agent operate in the area or kidnap them for interrogation. Later on, The Saint show up and they have the ability to detect your disguise so you might have to use your cover more to hide from them. Each member have their own personality and have a different relationship with each other, you can use it to assasinate them. Their might be boss battle, like in Codename 47, maybe some of them got a minigun or they got the entire reinforcement to back them up and you can't hide anymore.

@@johncarter4956 That's a lot of great ideas! 47 protecting Victoria and Diana slightly showing his emotions while being hunted throughout the stages sounds like a very good change of pace

One pal I know who played this game but also studied color palette or some shit said it's not only about the graphic but the overall tonal of this game is why it looks pretty good despite the years it is behind now.

The graphics looks pretty desaturated for me tbh, and too foggy, too water washed, and too flat. For me I use reshade to improve the graphics later to make it acceptable.

piss filter

They don't do that in the new ones.

@@cezarstefanseghjucan Yea, I wrote that BCS it's exclusive to absolution

I understand its gameplay wise purpose, but I supposed it was remove from WoA trilogy because is unreallistic and somewhat useless feature.

That just cracks me up. "GUARDS! QUICK! ARREST THIS MAN! HE IS DUCKING IN A PUBLIC AREA!"

Pretty much. While hitman isn't exactly known for being realistic, it's detrimental to gameplay and just completely insane that random passersbys would alert fucking police/security to the point they shoot at you just cuz you are squatting. With the absurdly limited instinct mechanics and all the mechanics required to navigate the game being extremely punishing, Absolution in general feels like they went completely overboard in punishing the player in a blind paranoia for the game to be "too easy" when difficulty never was the point and even now in the WoA trilogy, the sandbox lets you basically choose any difficulty. @@ganr1277

😂😂😂

😂😂

Yeah, so stupid

@@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012 Its not stupid, they just went with less evil option. Dusguise with covered face would be too OP.

Just played new trilogy and I'm 100% in lockstep with you. Thank you for putting words into what I was feeling

In fairness, I'd say this is more because of World of Assassination's focus on the Providence storyline. Before they're revealed, 47 does take out some people that, as far as he's aware, have committed much smaller crimes in comparison to several targets from the older games. Like Jordan Cross who, while definitely a bad person, is definitely tame compared to, say, Curtains Down's targets, or the Meat King. The face-to-face conversation you can have with Cross where he begs for his life even feels inspired by Mr. Swing King.

Yeah, you know this franchise is a masterpiece when this is considered their worst game

​@@0ffguy248The only thing game suffered was not being hitman formula. Well focus story and well acted, game was well polished. physics and graphics were excellent too. But the other games in the series are more enjoyable and memorable.

the game was weird but i look at it as a fun action spin off

" giant Danny Trejo" exactly how I remember him

They tried to make a Tarantino/Rodriguez story

It still has better atmosphere than the newer ones. It is way too understated.

@@cezarstefanseghjucan How does this game have better atmosphere than Hitman trilogy (the new one)?

@@konodioda0962 It is much more immersive than having everything clean, orderly with zero map-transformative events. Nothing changes from the beginning until the end of the mission. It had a much more rugged, gloomy and crumbling setting. I like the new games a lot, but they aren't dark and that is a big drawback. Especially with an ignorant composer like Niels Bye Nielsen, who deliberately ignored Jesper Kyd's work.

@@cezarstefanseghjucan If we're getting specific, you can make stuff fall down and break, open doors and break glass.

discount john wick

Still better then hitman 1 2 and soon 3

@@ZIGM1NT no that would be blood money amd absolution

That’s kind of what I liked about blood money though, it added a nice bit of a challenge. The newer hitman games are great but feel a little too easy at times

@@yamingoat They have no atmosphere whatsoever. There is no actual music. Even less than in Absolution. It is only gameplay, nothing else.

@@cezarstefanseghjucan you don't need music to make an atmosphere, but the game does have music, and a great atmosphere

@@lucastekkan Wrong. It is James Bond wannabe and not Hitman. Jesper Kyd was the real MVP of the soundtrack.

@@cezarstefanseghjucan The first games are the most atmospheric of the bunch. Great soundtrack, locations, feeling. Absolution is linear crap with a generic gameplay pandering to low iq shooter players

im curious to know what exactly you liked about the OST cause previously jesper kyd was responsible for creating so many memorable tracks and I literally cannot remember anything about the hitman absolution soundtrack except for loud horns, despite having put like 40-50h into the game desperately trying to like it

Same ! Unpopular opinion but i agree

Having also 100 percented all Hitman games I think Blood Money and Absolution were really bad in terms of story although the remake of the original story in the new games is even worse and I would go so far as to say it is an absolute joke. I think Blood Money is highly overrated and in my opinion Contracts is the by far best the game in terms of design.

???? The new ones have some Agent Smith Easter eggs but he’s not really that important and they are still really good games

@@Chuked its a joke

@ ok

Agent Who? Man, I will never bother about Agent Smith's story.

I mean blood money is one of the best games ever but it aged kinda bad.

@@picklespickle1641 perhaps if I played it when it was first released, I would have enjoyed it more, but the controls were awful. I really did try though.

I never knew they remastered those games , Absolution is the only one I played but I hated it, I’m kinda curious to play Blood Money

@@DaDualityofMan The remaster was done in 2019, they made a Absolution/Blood Money twin pack, it's available on the PS4 (and I assume the XBOX equivalent) as a digital download.

Yea I agree the old Hitman games have terrible controls, I couldn't get into them either. Absolution was the first one I actually beat and it was pretty good. The current trilogy is even better.

I genuinely cannot tell if you meant to say abortion or not lol

@@spikedkitten1109 lol, I did do it on purpose. This is the only Hitman game that I genuinely don’t like, and that’s coming from a diehard fan of the series.

@@joeytunney5476 what's your top 3 favorite hitman games?

@@trenchcoats4life891 3rd place is the entire World of Assassination trilogy ( Hitman 1-3) I can’t pick a favorite. 2nd is Hitman Contracts, and 1st is obviously Blood Money.

I don’t think that’s the case as the movie came out 3 years after this game

Cvit there was another Hitman movie released in 2007, it was even worse than Agent 47

Yeah I think it was the original Hitman 2007 movie that people referred to, since Absolution came out in 2012. Not the 2015 movie.

I'm still not sure if that argument ever made any sense though, I think your analysis of the development team's changing direction at the beginning of the video is a much more logical explanation.

GG Bro hope you enjoy it 😁👍🏼

And you were right, it doesn't. About halfway through the game I realised that the stealth gameplay was crap and just started slaughtering everyone in every mission. I had relatively more fun doing that and breezed the rest of the game in a few hours, thus it just became a standard third-person cover shooter. I've never played it again and probably won't.

I had the same epiphany except I may have gone through less missions

@@CarlSlime Yeah I can't remember if I got two, three or four missions in. I remember getting to the one where you have to escape the police and there's no target to kill and absolutely hating it.

@@KorriTimigan lol same. Slaughtering was more Fun in this game xD. Still Good game just not a Hitman game

Yeah, that's the worst thing about it. It does have the little Chinatown level, which is as big as it seems to get, but at the time I thought "okay, now THIS is when it starts playing like Hitman" then it just goes back to linear shooting.

It did feel cool rigging the gas in that guy’s apartment

Same here. I thought it was alright for what it was. But then I got ahold of the newer Hitman games, and I was like 'wow, this is Hitman? What the fuck was I playing before?'
