So glad I waited for the first season to come out in full. I'm full on addicted at the moment. Can we get a Hitman thread in here?

Right
I've had enough

Is it even that good? I was lucky enough to snatch a key from someone on YT lol. Video was up for 5 minutes and some dude asked for the game. The youtuber actually posted a key for him and like a rabbid dog I pounced at it.

I feel like an asshole. An even bigger asshole since I never even played the game.

>kill someone other than the target
>you achieve the sniper assassin challenge

game is real fun but some of the challenges are broken

No Jesper Kyd.
Shit voices and accents.

The rest is great.

I've been playing Blood Money for 10 years and never thought it could be matched, but this game is honestly as good imo

>So glad I waited for the first season to come out in full

it was just as good 9 months ago

No he, IS capitalism!

I mean, that's what we all want in this day and age, right?

I am so hype for professional mode. I'm 104 hours in and haven't even come close to doing all the challenges and escalations.

If I can't connect to the internet how gimped will the game be for me?

what do you mean first season

when is the full game coming out

Each season is counted as a game, as far as I can tell.
So we can expect this kind of format in the future, I guess? Six missions plus extra stuff per game?

Pretty gimped. I think you can only do the main game (not contracts / escalations), unless they offer another update for offline.

What exactly are contracts and escalations?

> six missions
okay so when is the full game coming out

>Contracts
Custom missions, players pick maps, targets and methods of murder.
>Escalations
Missions where you assassinate a target, then redo the mission four more times with extra challenges slapped on, like more cameras, more targets, time trials, that sort of thing.
31st, if you want to be really technical about it.

>do the Hokkaido mission
>decide to KO the director, break into the KAI mainframe
>realize as the story progresses that KAI is a pretty qt for a AI, even asks that one NPC to try his flirting lines on her to test it out
>it will actually try to save flatline patients and is overall a prettyt benevolent AI
>that bit of confusion when she thinks you're the director
>sabotage it, hear it slowly start breaking down and act more confused
>then kill Soders with it
>it says the patient is dead and that it's sorry
>after the mission, realize that it will probably be disassembled and destroyed because it's too risky to use in case someone breaks in again or whatever
>realize I just set back waifu technology significantly

I'm sorry.

Contracts: You can go through any mission and kill whoever you want, setting that person as a target, and can also list your kill method (pistol / shotgun / lethal melee / explosion, etc.) as a recommended cause of death. There are a lot of these set up, including featured ones, and they're either designed around interesting stuff to do or things like sniping five people.

Escalations: Somewhat similar but dev-crafted. They have five stages. It starts with an assassination to carry out, and then they gradually start piling on objectives, conditions that have to be met, etc. Pretty fun. And there's a fuckton of them.

All six missions are already out. There's going to be three bonus missions. Two are out now and the last one is coming out tomorrow, along with a new difficulty setting for all missions. Then the game will be complete.

>final patch tomorrow

It has been an honor, gentlemen.

The music works perfectly for the game and the situations you get in.

Also, the voices are completely fine.

Contracts sounds like a simple meme thing but escalations sound like a real feature. Living in a stupid fucking internet black hole sucks.

>Contracts sounds like a simple meme thing but escalations sound like a real feature
Both are simple meme things. The escalations aren't nearly as good as they sound, trust me.

Some contracts are alright.
Can't imagine how much crap they have to sieve before they find ones worth putting in the Featured tab though.

>final patch tomorrow

we're getting a second season though

SOON
Like literally tomorrow

anyone know the exact time the patch hits? im pretty hyped

bump

Name one (1) game that did wounds better.

I fucking love this game and I love how it feels like you're actually damaging the people you kill as oppose to just shooting them in the face with a shotgun only for their face to not have a scratch on it. It's such a shame that they put so much effort in to the blood and how it spurts out only for it to go completely unnoticed by NPC's.

Soldier of Fortune 2

That's a decent shout

>waited for the first season to come out in full
me too, mine is coming in the post tomorrow, hopefully it will get me addicted like how i used to get addicted to hitman, i need something to pull me away from ESO atm

Wow, i didn't know there are cutting wounds effect as well, i thought it was only gunshot wounds.

The cutting wounds can be a bit weird though, if you do the attack from behind with the machete, the machete goes in vertically and it will give them a small vertical wound in their back and a gigantic horizontal wound in their stomach. It isn't perfect but it's still pretty fucking nice.

The frontal attack with the machete leaves some juicy facial gashes too.

Max Payne 3.

This game is everything I expected from MGSV. That's open world (kinda) done right.

I see people complaning about the Colorado level, but imagine this level on MGSV, with this amout of detail and stuff to do.

I always loved it when games made individual levels as mini-open worlds. Really adds to replay value, without running the risk of diluting the story, which a lot of full open-world games often suffer from.

>I always loved it when games made individual levels as mini-open worlds.
This. I hate when people say "hurr only 6 levels lol ???" when each level is massive and absolutely brimming with content.

Not a great screenshot but RDR had some cool bullet wounds

>the voices are completely fine
>same 5 dudes and women
>perfect american accents in morrocco and bangkok

the hokkaido japanese accents triggered the shit out of me because im a jap

the staff speaks in broken nip

Bought it yesterday, but the game keeps crashing after a few minutes of playing. Time to upgrade my PC, I suppose.

It's pretty demanding, but if you got everything on low it still looks good.

what graphics card

February schedule when

It ran well enough on medium, but it still crashed. I put everything on the lowest setting, lowered the resolution, played in windowed mode, but to no avail.
Speccy says Radeon R9 200 series. Can't be arsed to look which one exactly.

My HITMAN tends to crash as well and especially when I'm streaming it. But I only have an i5 3,4 GHz and 8 GB of ram. Thinking of making it 16 GB soon.
and I can only stream it in windowed mode. If I don't do that the stream freeze for whatever reason

How do I kill Novikov with lights? Killed his fag assistant, went to the rig with crowbar, but he just sits in dressing room and doesn't move at all. Should I activate some stupid trigger or what?

You might have bugged him out a bit.
Try restarting and remove Saato immideately with the panorama stuff. That should cause Novikov to walk to the dressing room and eventually walk on stage. He will stand there and wait for the cycle of performers to finish or whatever.

it takes a while to get him on the stage to give his pretentious message

i think you could also shoot the thing down

I was waiting for 15 minutes and he didn't move a bit. He just sits in dressing room
Dunno how I could bugged him, I didn't interact with him (except main entrance) and went straight to Dalia

I had a friend with the same issue.
and sniper challenges are bugged due to the guards will know your sniping location even though they don't see you and rush your location as soon as the target dies

when, six months ago, i tried to say this was the best game of 2016 i was called a shill multiple times

i'm glad more people are noticing now

I fucking pre ordered this and I don't regret it at all.

So does this game require an online connection? Even if you buy it physically?

Yeah. You can play it offline but you can't beat any challenges or unlock items. They recently changed it so that you can still use items you've already earned when you're offline but it still sucks.

Besides the golden coin and antique syringe what other items do you unlock via challenges?

complete 10 escalations and you get some smg you will probably never use. If you do all the christmas challenges you get the santa suit.

I'm sure there are more but i can't remember them

You get new weapons and if you get SA on elusive targets you get new outfits.

Professional difficulty won't fix the AI.

sniper assassin challenge in spienza for a sniper rifle, the iconator in the ICON dlc mission, a new knife if you do all challenges in "a house built in sand" dlc mission, and they said there will be new stuff to get in professional difficulty.
Also put this gun in the game IOI.

>literally no guards saw what happened
>somehow it's surprising that a guard walking past you from a completely different room isn't aware of what you just did
Nice

Stop fucking replying to this baiter for fucks sake

is there any reason for that? outside of devs being retarded.
and what do you unlock btw?

22 euros on CDkeys, but I may as well wait for CPY crack if they pull such bullshit.

>he doesn't post his santa catwalk webm anymore because one user pointed out the missing guard

Whut

in the first second of his/your catwalk garrote webm in the santa outfit, he/you look down the aisle to the right of the stage and there should be a guard there but he's missing. that guard coincidentally is the first one to try to arrest you if you recreate the webm. he/you always used to post that webm but i haven't seen it once since someone pointed it out.

Some shitposter who posts a webm about Hitman's AI, in every thread.

hitman.com/news/january-update-release-notes#

Release notes are out!
>With a previous update, we introduced a subtle sound effect that played with a pistol kill. Based on player feedback, we've removed the high-pitched part of this sound effect.
Thank fuck

They actively support the game through content updates every week or so, AFAIK they haven't been totally clear how much of it takes advantage of the online requirement. Either way, it's strictly a singleplayer so it's retarded.

You unlock different weapons, different tools to use, different locations to start missions at, etc. Tomorrow you'll be able to unlock the professional difficulty.

Getting those suits user?

I need 1 more elusive for the winter coat and i'm hoping we're getting an elusive in Hokkaido soon.

Next one is in Hokkaido, yes. They confirmed it.

There was also a link somewhere saying that they use the online feature to create a heatmap to find out where players spend most of their time, then they will drop an elusive target in a part of the map that doesn't get much use.

Nice, then i have all of the location specific suits.

>1 new weapon/gear unlock (earned through challenges)
>- The Big One

nani?

I fucked up the Bangkok one,
How the hell was someone suppose to know if you even got close to the target his body guards would shoot you without warning??

>Disable Autosaves
We've added an option to the 'Gameplay' menu that will allow you to turn off autosaves. Manual saves will still be available. Autosaves will be set to 'on' by default.

Thank fuck for that, my toaster has a near seizure every time an autosave kicks in.

i'm missing only white yukata, probably won't use it too much though

winter suit and blood money suit stronk

I have the game running 60+ fps on max settings but I always get a ridiculous frame drop from the periodic autosaves for some reason. Any fix for this? Is there a way to turn it off?

rpg

Gonna be a dildo.
Sure hope for the SUITCASE to be a professional difficulty reward.

I fucked up the angel of death and the colorado guy, so no winter suit yet. But I SA'd the blackmailer and got the absolution suit with gloves at least.

tomorrow you will be able to.

very nice, i remember doing one of the paris elusives and i shimmied all the way across a balcony getting ready to drag her over just to find out that i wasn't playing splinter cell and had to shimmy all the way back

i tried to recreate this but the lag was fucking immense, my cpu is a dinosaur though

I want to post 2 gems of names I found
"I BECOME U"(decent concept)
"NIGGER OR HIT TRYING"

I agree. Each target felt like a different mission altogether. Take Paris for example, it's like if BM made two different missions: a fashion show and an auction

Vroom vroom

Ding ding

I think we all did at some point

Fuck HITMAN.

Give me Kane & Lynch 3.
