So what do you think of the Christmas update?

It's pretty good desu

There was less effort put into it than the average elusive target. Only meaningful for the Santa suit.

it makes me want to kill someone

Aside from the targets' names being nice, there was barely any effort put into it, while I do appreciate its existance and know it was just something hastily put together to go along with their donation incentive, I'm still kinda disappointed with how meaningless it is. This could have been done as an elusive target for little it actually changes the level.

i hate how the mission briefings and challenges aren't always clear

do you have to steal all of the toys before the robbers find them? or can you wait for them to pick the toys up then knock them out and empty their pockets?

was fun tho

You mean there are no changes to the Paris dialogue?

The mission friggin sucks. Zero dialogue to fit the context, absolutely nothing substantially different in the map aside from finding Santa. The extra mission in Sapienza was so much better.

Much like the last update that had a few unposted changes, this update made the ragdoll physics worse.

Worse how?

test

The ragdolls (upon killins someone, shooting etc) are floatier/lighter, and less reactive -like when stumbling to the ground. There's just less weight to them it seems.

And believe me, I've gone on headshot sprees on this game well enough to tell that there's a difference now with this update.

Does that mean that they now go fucking flying when you shoot them up nonstop like in Silent Assassin? That always cracked me the fuck up.

Unfortunately not even that. They just seem like hollow paper bags now.

the special escape is a bit disappointing

stupid kill ringing sound is still in

on the other hand i can be santa on any level now

BAD SANTA

Pretty underwhelming desu.

Suit was nice.

They cut some corners with no new VO (maybe because of the strike?) and no opportunities.

But I'll be able to be santa on the upcoming ET, so thats cool I guess.

Is there a katana you can unlock to use in Paris or some weapon like a katana in Paris?

I need a screenshot of Santa being stabbed from behind

theres a katana in a present on 2nd floor, not far from where the key for the boat is i think

boat key*

>Just wanted some home alone quotes or conversations written with similar dialogue
>Instead Harry and Marv don't say a single fucking thing

It's pretty crappy.
The Christmas theme isn't implemented very thoroughly, no unique dialogue, the targets are easy to kill and chasing Santa around the map is annoying.

For the no-money I paid for it, it's alright. Christmas decorations everywhere and shit, pretty neat I guess.

Really not much to it, though.

>first saw schedule
>thought there was going to be 2 elusive contracts in Sapienza
>misread Escalation for Elusive
>"Wow 3 elusive contracts this month thats pretty n---"
>"Ohh..."
I was late to Hitman, and I fucked up 3 contacts... I just want that sexy Winter Suit

>tfw im so shit that I will never be able to do an elusive contract with Silent Assassin
How do you guys do it? I just cant with all those bodyguards elusive contracts get. I just fuck it all up that I decided to resort to just sniping targets

Fucking kek, i wasnt expecting that

>chasing santa
>not beating the shit out of him and stripping him down

So, here's an actual question: when I bought all 6 missions for this game it said in a bundle "PLUS A BONUS MISSION".

But there wasn't any. Only Paris-Italy-Morocco-Bangkok-Colorado-Hokkaido.

NO bonus mission.

Or am I missing something here?

The mission (and there's two of them) are exclusive to the bundle. If you bought the episodes separately, you have to wait for the last episode with the three bonus missions that's coming out in January.

Bought them as a bundle, nigga. No extra episode, though. Where can I find it?

Are they in the DLC menu in the game library? You might have to contact the support.

They probably mean the bonus mission in Sapienza, Italy. It changes the map and makes the level a lot different, but using mostly the same assets.

WHAT

Assuming you downloaded them, they can be found under sapienza and marakesh. So you should see like a gilded cage, all it's escalations, and then a house built on sand.

>Wanna do the ETs without cheesing them and looking them up
>Really want that sexy ass Winter Coat I'll probably barely use

post your face when you found out you can exit the level through the chimney.

at least he saw santa before dying

...

>Letting this thread die
That is a sin, Sup Forums

Have a bump

Alright, I've had enough

Victor and Dahlia are still going around tending to the fashion show and auction, no one makes any mention of Christmas despite the theming. There's not even a video briefing.

I get that it's free and honestly just having the suit makes me happy.

it's the season of giving

Well yeah but you have to chase him around to get to him first

was this the last side mission or just a bonus? i think its great if it was just a bonus

This was just a bonus, the last side mission is called Landslide

The new targets grunt, there's no new real dialogue. I'm not disappointed by it though, they could have just added the Santa suit and I would have been happy, the mission is just a little something extra they whipped up.

Where get the santa outfit ?

Recently started playing this game and I'm not sure I get the progression logic in it. First time doing the mission you are limited to very basic tools. This makes the first time relatively the hardest run because after that you unlock new toys only for that specific map and thus make replaying it easier? What's the fucking point? I already made through once, why I'd want to do it again this time it being less challenging.

I laughed for a bit when Marv snuck into bathrooms and turned the taps on

for the mission only just find santa in the level and take his outfit. to unlock in other missions you need to complete all the santa challenges. you can can read what they are in the briefing menu)

Than Hitman games are not for you. Hitman games have always been about finding the best way of eliminating your targets and completing the objectives without getting caught or with little as possible collateral.

The point is finding new and creative ways of eliminating your targets. It's not like the game is particularly hard in the first place. The new spawn locations cut out what amounts to a lot of running around when you know the map and the items just give you more options to experiment with.

But I did all that on my first run. No casualties but the targets, never got caught.

Fucking garbage. They acted like it was a big update like the November one and it was nothing. Didn't even fix the problems the November update added.

Level is fine.

anyone else getting a bug in Sapienza where you place the explosive golf ball in the ball pile, but i still have it in your inventory afterwards?

>unlock new toys only for that specific map
any weapons or tools you unlock can be carried over to new map

>They acted like it was a big update like the November one and it was nothing.
did they? i had no idea it was out until i launched the game yesterday

Now that makes way more sense. I don't think it is mentioned at any point though.

I haven't got this game but I'm considering it, how much am I missing out on with this limited time mission stuff?

>Tripwire are such huge faggots they don't do holiday events anymore
>meanwhile we atleast get some goofy effort from IO

you're just missing out on suits which only changes your default clothing

It just made me realize that I'm a faggot that hardly wants to play if there are no unlockables involved

you can unlock a cool suit.

Eh, I'm not going to use that anytime soon. And there's no time limit on it.

It was pretty fucking half assed, is what it is.

This update fucked up performance now the game runs like shit.

Bravo IO

But it can easily be noticed.
"Oh look, I got the classic Silverballer from playing Paris. Oh look, I can still use it in Sapienza."

mine actually runs better now

Fuck man, starting at the default Red Carpet spawn point, you'll walk past a lady and her cameraman and she'll mention the party is celebrating a new 'Fall' fashion line.
First thing I noticed, beyond the shitty looking snow on the ground.

the fucking main targets are still alive

technically if it's not december 22th it's still autumn
