I can't really get over the 90s era stealth gameplay with blind and deaf guards (but somehow they react to thrown objects with the most immersionbreaking voice lines and know precisely where to walk), and the fact you can literally kill someone with a banana and a soft tug on the back as they're on the floor, knocked out by said bana.a

I was on the 1st level in Dubai and there was one guard near the security office that ignored the fact that I wiped out every guard and staff member around him. I'm like 'WTF'. I made it a point to go and shoot his ass before I left the level.

the techno club level simply doesn't work in their game. Why did they make it? It feels like some user created level with standard assets that just don't fit.

You can't even "blend in" on the dance floor. What a letdown.

Some of the levels play a little differently first time vs second time, the Berlin (club) level is definitely like that and I agree, a bit weird. Try the DJ or drug dealer disguises though, its pretty hilarious

February roadmap

I guess they are gonna have elusive targets, and it sounds very similar to H2. Kinda disappointing, the "only available for 10 days" stuff was a bit lame

Sounds interesting. I played the hell out of Hitman 3 at launch but pretty much stopped when I finished the campaign, just got burned out on the formula I guess or too much into JRPGs right now. Still haven't come close to the platinum trophy or even 100%'ing each level.

their 7 deadly sins xpac is supposed to launch today too. If you previously owned H1 & H2 (even the free ones) you can import all the levels from those games into H3 and delete the older games. Or keep them to double and triple dip trophies

^ lets you play hitman 1 inside hitman 3 for free if you previously claimed the free H1

7 deadly sins is also apparently just 7 escalations reusing existing levels, for $30 thats pretty fucking shitty

normally you'd just play h1 & h2 INSIDE hitman 3, which imports all the levels from all games, but this is a new collection so I assume they will streamline it and yeah, you'll just play H1, H2, and then H3.

There is a story progression, you can just play and finish each level in under 30-45 mins each and then go back and 100% each level (takes hours and hours) afterwards. Theres like 20+ levels in total and some of them are absolutely brilliant, esp H2.

Yea, I want the full story but have no interest in 100%'ing all the levels, but the idea of hopping into a level when I have a short amount of time sounds really great!

hitman 3 will include H1 & H2 end of the month. Jan 26th is when they are releasing a big update that adds a home for agent 47 and a map randomizer and new mode that is supposed to be a bit rogue/metroid like.

I'm a Blood Money purist, enjoyed the new take for what it is, but had concerns about the new direction.

H3 has changed my stance significantly. IO stayed on the ball and deserves support on this one.
