Don't get why people compare the last level to the rest in the series I found it to be a nod to the early games where each one pretty much ended in a shooter Hitman codename 47 - had to kill all the agent 48s Hitman 2 silent assassin - had to kill everyone in the church to save the priest Hitman Blood Money - Had to wakeup at your own funeral and kill everyone That's why I enjoyed the last level

You never mentioned how small they made it storage wise. That was a complaint in 2, and the fact they shrank it so much for all three games is amazing

IO have the best level designs I've ever seen but they insist on having these weird ass business practices and fucked up pricing, it's so frustrating

Didnt IOI basically say we'll be getting new hitman games, that they're just on hold right now? Hitman is far from over.

I understand your point of view. I completely disagree with you though. The only thing that I might understand is being tired with the Hitman 2016 reboot formula as it hasn’t evolved all that much. Hitman 3, though, to me is the masterpiece that IOI built up in the last 5 years. Hitman 3 keeps changing things, avoids being too predictable. Most levels are nothing like the previous 2 chapters. And it kept making me sad or happy or scared. I feel like level 2 and 3 and the China one are possible 3 of the best game levels I’ve ever played. At least in a while. Hope you’ll change you mind by replaying it! Nice video, btw!

I actually really would love to see IO’s take on a horror game, don’t know if it was just being taken so off guard but I genuinely felt so unnerved and... watched at the beginning of Berlin, it was just spectacular how they set that up.

That first playthrough of Apex Predator where you can't see who your targets are was probably my favourite part of the whole trilogy, it's a shame when you replay it they all become visible though :(

I just discovered your hitman retrospective 4 days ago, so this video came out... pretty fast

If you look at the train level as a level like the other 5 obv it's inferior, but imo it is a bonus level where you get to go wild like requiem in blood money. It shows how much damage 47 by himself can do, which due to the goal of the game is always underplayed. This is perfectly shown when two henchmen at some point question how dangerous are you really when all you do is stage accidents using disquises. Coupled with the 3 endings where any can be cannon dependant on what a future possible reboot would look to do (none of them are so nonsensical that you can say, ok that's there for the lols).

Super Bunny Hop Suggested that now that all three games are out, you really are meant to play the whole trilogy back to back, and doing it that way makes a lot of the story moments hit much harder. He’s probably onto something!

It's not the end of the HITMAN. It's the End of The World of Assassination.

I’m honestly surprised you haven’t praised this game for what I love about it. It seems like you see it as 100% copy and paste from the last two. Yes, the overall gameplay is the same, but it’s the levels and their design choices that stand out here. I disagree that the levels are in no way unique from the last two because most levels have at least one unique aspect to help them stand out and keep it from being stale. Dubai is exactly what I expected, but it looks gorgeous! Dartmoor has the murder mystery, Berlin has a large variety of targets that you initially have to hunt, Chongqing was also what I would expect, but had the interesting story moment, Mendoza had Diana in the level itself resulting in some really interesting outcomes, and even the train level is unique despite not being a good Hitman level. Also, I think the level design is at its absolute best here! The other two games had excellent levels, but they were admittedly overwhelmingly large. For example, Sapienza mostly took place in in the central area, but had a whole town surrounding it, and in Miami, the racetrack and Kronstadt expo were big enough to be two separate levels. With the slight exception of Chongqing, Hitman 3 feels more tight. Some may argue Berlin is over bloated, but it has 10 targets spread throughout the whole level so it works there. Lastly, the story I’ll admit I also feel mixed about. The ending is really interesting, but eliminating the Providence partners was underwhelming considering all the build up it had. Lucas Grey’s death also felt way too rushed. All in all, this is a excellent formula brought to the best it can be. There really isn’t anything else they can do from this point without it actually becoming stale, so I’m glad this is how it concluded until the series is ready to make another comeback somehow.

I just watched the rest of your retrospective again last night while working on art, so this is perfect timing.

As one of the very few series that still continue to produce stealth games, ioi deserve the praise.

10:15 maybe because you are feeling how Agent 47 is feeling? At the end or in big moments, how much does he emote?

I love how, to me, this one feels like the perfect balance between the older (pre Absolution) and new games (reboots) with levels being huge and detailed but manageable. Also, the constant switch up of the formula with the murder mystery and the hunting agents hunting you etc. Quality, can't wait to play through allll the hitman games since the beginning.

Came here from your Yakuza retrospective and now I've binged all your Hitman videos over the last 2 days. You make some high quality videos, man.

R.I.P Kentaro Miura

Dude such perfect timing, I discovered your channel last week through the Hitman Absolution vid and just watched all your other Hitman videos tonight!

i think your review may have been skewed because of your burnout. Mendoza as a final (real) level was terrific, on a vineyard just like the beggining of bloodmoney was a beautiful callback. the final level to me felt like it was a victory lap because of the no penalty for killing guards.

It's worth mentioning Alexa Carlisle only saw through your disguise after mentioning the constant, and only during that mission sequence.

glad to see another installment of the Hitman retrospective. one of my favorites.

I just finally played this game a few days ago so im excited to get your take on it. Thanks for these great vids!

well, i actually think the story was pretty engaging. Espacially when subject 6 died and when diana betrayed 47. I was shocked by those moments.

Dude, just watching you show that abandoned gas station part had my heart going a bit lol

Silent Assassination music at the end is nostalgic.

Woo a Cvit video thank you for inadvertently making my day

Great content as always dude, love to see it.

Lmao nice Eva reference

Hitman series was the first game I’d ever say was a 10/10.

criminally under rated channel

Just to be real with you: I came for the funny Yu-Gi-Oh but stayed for the personality of your videos. They are great 👍🏻 Thanks for making my evening (European) better!

Yugioh GX Season 3 and 4 anytime soon? I can't wait for 5DS and Zexal.

So your Judge eyes video inspired me to buy the game. I haven't gotten to play it yet due to being busy as hell but I'll probably start it tonight. I haven't played Hitman in a long time. I was burnt out on the series long before this game lol.

Whos still waiting for GX season 3 and 4??

I personally loved all the levels in 3 but i admit, i was hoping for them to change things up more and i totally feel you on the story side of things, kind of fell flat. That said the amount of gameplay content is staggering with all games installed, even minus escalation contracts and user contracts, if you own the previous 2 Hitman reboot games, 3rd is absolutely worth the money especially if you havent played the first 2 in a while and are looking to come back to it fresh. Although after a full playthrough and looking at it in retrospect, i can see a lot of mission stories that had way more thought put into them than others, some were nearly rehashes. One thing i’d really want to change is to make some mission stories more doable without hint markers, some of them are easily accomplishable without them especially if you pay attention to in game intel but others require you already knowing where certain items or characters are with little in game hints to tell you otherwise. I feel like this would allow less hand holding and the formulaic design of story missions. In 3 I was very surprised at the depth on the England mission and honestly having no mission stories in Apex Predator was so refreshing, i never had improvised so much on a first run as i did with that mission. I think out of the series 3 has the strongest overall, but none of them are my favorite yet. One thing i noticed is how buggy 3 is though, i encountered multiple crashes and lots of wonky AI especially on the Mendoza mission for some reason. I hope with the success of this reboot trilogy, publishers see the validity in sandbox stealth game titles again, especially with the amount of positive coverage Hitman has been getting online now (outside of the mess of a launch)

Congratz! You have became emotional like the Hitman. This whole this was an S3 system to make you into the legendary assassin.

You're the only reason I own Hitman games, and have Metal Arms and King Kong PS2 on my radar

Everything Wrong with Yugioh GX: season 3?

Cvit is one of my favorite channels xD. I just love your humor and the overall editing and the way you do these retrospectives or your commentary in general

That thumbnail lmao

Thanks for the retrospective. Your a great channel. I would love if io interactive made a Friday the 13th game after the apex predidtor level. Or a DC game

Wake up babe new Cvit video

I noticed something intersting You're feeling exactly how Agent 47 feels after this game...

Neon Genesis Hitmangelion End of Agent 47

i think a couple years from now 7 8 years from now they should remake code name 47/contracts take the positive from both and silent assassin and blood money as a remake trilogy and along side it reveal the future of the franchise after hitman 2021

When are you going to every thing wrong with yugioh go 3

When you kill the MacGuffin, it's not a MacGuffin anymore

I still experience connection issues nearly three months after the game released and it’s ridiculous

Nice vid

I think its really hard to build a good finale in sandbox games. I find myself enjoying this game, maybe because i just started playing hitman in 2019, so im still relatively new to this series.

Possibly my favourite hitman game

Does the game still demand always online to progress? and what happens when they close the servers. Also good job reviewing the franchise, it has been a very informative journey

Well now he can do that vr section with hitman vr pc

i'm pretty sure he is not hitting men anymore

well at least they added the extra equipment slot

No reason for us to be waiting this long for season 3 Yugioh gx

If they make a HITMAN 4 i think they should make a story where some rogue ICA or some Providence members kill Diana for real and agent 47 hunting down those agents. I know its pretty close to Absolutions Plot but still i think it would be cool for agent 47 show some emotions especially that now he can show them.

I just watched your retrospective video of Yakuza 1. Why didn't you do the same for the 2? You said that you would at the end (which I loved).

Ngl played it on release and had the same feeling. Watched this series and wound up wanting to give 3 a try for the fun of it. Much more fun after a long break imo bc you dont feel like your going thru the same motions over and over. They should make a "complete edition" that includes all 3 games in one package/disc tho for sure

We still having recieve all the content from Hitman 3.

Personally I felt mendoza was the closest we got to a classic blood money style level while still being Hitman 3

So, the best way to have a low cost is to buy hitman 2016 with all its dlcs and then hitman 2 when they are on sale and not buy hitman 2 and legacy pack when is on sale? And buy hitman 1 and its dlcs, hitman 2 and its dlcs when they are on sales then hitman 3 and not buy hitman 3 and hitman 1 and 2 access pack when is on sales?

Soo where is everything wrong with yugioh gx season 3?

Huh. We never got a Games of 2021 video. So did you ever end up revisiting this game?

Lesssssssgooooooooooooo. New Cvit video is here 🐸

Hi, i want to get into this games but i don't know what to buy, it's so confusing... If i buy hitman 3 to i get to play hitman 1 and 2? or do i have to buy those too? because since this was supposed to be a "season 1, 2 and 3" that's the feeling that i get and of what i see in the steam page but i really don't know... can someone sort me this out?

Might I recommend a series review of Onimusha.

Indeed, the beginning of Apex Predator might be the downright most eerie part of any Hitman game, ever The thing is, they sort of didn't know what they wanted. They wanted it to be the final Hitman game, but then figured having the thing sit around will be a waste, so it's just a conclusion to the current plot arc, yet also feels like an end to the entire series, yet also straight up promises a new game in the distant future.

I don’t complete all the challenges, but I’m fine with Hitman games being mechanically similar, since I like the new mechanics, so long as the levels are varied Then again, I never use the stories because they bore me, and I do self-imposed challenges, such as not spilling any blood (meaning no firearms)

Guacamole

I'm surprised you didn't comment on the Codename 47 easter egg.

The only reason Alexa sees through it is if you choose to ask for the file on the constant. That gives her the revelation. If you ask for money, she states it will be wired and you can move on

The thing is with apex pred I wasn’t scared of the atmosphere of the gas station I was scared of 47 😂

I loved this game so much its my favourite in the 3 new games, i dont know why. But the Berlin level is maby the best mission they have ever made in my opinion

YES

I think you're right about the series formula getting old. I love Hitman, but it's run its course. I wish they had had 47 go into retirement or something.

I sure hope this means you can continue the Yakuza retrospective.

good video

the murder mystery in dartmoor was executed so poorly, because of diana spoiling everything. ever since hitman 2, IOI never trusted the player to be smart enough to figure out opportunities/mission stories on their own

I love your voice ❤

i decided to get hit man 3 on game pass on my pc, having only played the italy map in the first one. after finishing it i realized i had the first two, and then i played those ones. so i had the same experience as you have, but with the 2nd feeling the most bland to me, because it was the last one i played.

1:31 300 dollar, not 500 dollar. Usually wouldn't point out a mistake like this but the most groundbreaking about the headset is its price (because the rest of the cost is data to daddy zucc) and that's why it's becoming as close to mainstream as a vr headset has gotten yet

i have been waiting for 6 days for there support team to respond to a question i had i love hitman and wanna play 3 but none of my items i unlocked in 2 are transferring to 3 which sucks no outfits no weapons no equipment iv spent so much time unlocking are on 3

I’m curious what you thought of the 7 deadly sins dlc 🤔

I agree completely about the formula by the time hitman 3 came along. I 100% mastery both hitman 1 and 2 (which i played leading up to 3s release) but I barely got halfway through mastery for the hitman 3 maps. I think the new formula just becomes predictable no matter how awesome it is. I'm looking forward to looping back to this and playing the full WoA trilogy as one game once I have the appetite for it again. WoA packaged as one title is the best stealth game ever made, only in the company of MGS3 and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory who only come short of this game sheer breadth of content

you probably felt nothing due to depression rather than the actaal game.

Holy shit if io got the rights to make a silent hill or similar title 😳

Yup

Hitman Blood Money is the best for cutscenes, weaponry, and character design imo. It's the best Hitman game.

It's not a reboot.

Sup

I mistakingly thought a moment at the end of Hitman 2's conclusion (him not telling 47 about the Constant escaping ) was setting up Lucas Grey as the true villian, so him killing himself had me assuming he was faking it, the real story was a huge letdown from the one I'd imagined.

Is this guy some sort of doppler I randomly got his berserk vid in my recommended and he sounded exactly like demolition d and I go to this video and he sounds so similar to raycevick although not to the same extent. Maybe its just the archetype of monotone vocal fry video essayist or maybe I just want father demo to come back.

I personally didnt feel that the ending was very conclusive to the series. Especially with the "there will alwaysb be bad ppl so always ppl like me" or w/e quote really felt like a coming back type deal. hard to know though

You've an eva fan?

Are we playing Hitman or mass effect?

more levels are never bad but it will take a major leap in what your able to do in the game before they feel like true sequels to a franchise which is why I hate that people want them so quickly like bethesda games for example if we end up getting tes6 within the next couple years I believe it will basically just be skyrim with better graphics and maybe slightly better enemy ai and the same goes for the hitman series we keep getting new games far to quickly for anything to really change and end up with new 60$ games that should really just be a 30$ dlc

AI should feel more realistic. And some of the targets should of been more lethal to us while hunting. Instead felt like another simple AI
