Hitman 2016 Thread

We had one not too long ago today, but I'd like to keep some discussion still going if anyone is up for it.

Let's start off with some easy topics.

Anyone here who just bought the full season 1 today or disc?

What's everyone's thoughts on the new difficulty?

Bonus Episode: Landslide?

Can anyone for the love of god give me an easy method for Paris Pro?

Besides asking for Dual Ballers and Breifcase, what else would you guys be looking forward for as unlocks in S2? What maps would you like to see in S2?

Akari~n should actually be Hitman, she'd be literally unseen.

Just got my first SA on the new Professional difficulty, my usual five minute SA runs are a thing of the past. I used my save super early too so it felt satisfying as fuck when I actually pulled it off. I feel like I'm learning how to play all over again.

How WAS Gilded Cage on Pro? Are there some level changes you wanna bring up?

Too bad not even Diana would see her after returning. She's the ICA's ghost, they send 'her' out on a contract and it gets done in due time. SASO of course. She's too tiny and cute to be in uniform.

Pretty fucking hard, I won't lie. The keycard in the consulate garage is no longer there, I don't know if it's just been moved or completely gone but I couldn't find it. This meant I couldn't pull the old 'turn on the radio and grab the card' trick and creep up the stairs behind the cop and soldier. There's also two or three more guards wandering around which makes things a lot harder.

The guard that usually walks up the steps near the drainpipe on the back of the Headmaster's terrace doesn't turn around any more, he just stays in one spot staring straight ahead, and there's another guard near the big military vehicle that you use to blow Claus and Zaydan to smitherines.

On the other side of the locked door, there's two guards now instead of one, and one of them can see through soldier outfits. Besides that it's just a ton of added guards.

Oh and there's an extra guard who can see through disguises who stands right next to the intercom so say goodbye to the old toilet trick unless you plan on knocking out about five guards beforehand. Those two rooms are swarming now and all of them can see through disguises.

How about the cameras inside the Consulate? Have any been added, moved, etc? Sounds pretty damn hard so far.

>47 mins
gg

I didn't wander around too much so I can't really say, I just distracted the cop and soldier who stand next to the staircase at the back and snuck straight upstairs to the balcony where Claus stands. The guard that used to stand at the very end of the balcony next to the door now wanders in and out of the room with the stage lamp switch, and there's a new guard to take his place who stands with his back to the wall right behind where Claus leans on the balcony so you can't subdue him, but a cheeky gun lure does the trick. You have to either take care of the stage lamp room guard before killing Claus or just have damn good timing because he looks out the window and stares at everything that's going on on the balcony for a while before standing outside again.

When does the OST and Doc video come out again? Does the OST include that insert song in Bangkok?

Professional's most difficult bit is limited saves
>Sapienza
>the detective's usual knock out spot isn't usable
>requires knocking out a random civilian near the public toilets
>after that is done, you need to lure the detective inside a toilet with sounds
>get him inside, him entering blocks me two ways (the door itself and the laundry box where you can stash him)
>try to close the door so I can knock him out
>47 instead enters the laundry box from an impossible angle and gets spotted
>this happens after I've already poisoned Caruso and gotten the USB dongle

i like it

Yeah one save is a bitch if the game decides to fuck you over with stupid stuff like that, but if it's all going as it should then it's a really good feature and I like it a lot. It makes me think twice before doing pretty much anything and forces me to consider better options.

Oh yeah. I forgot Poison Caruso was still a thing. I've been doing this ol'SASO route on Normal diff for so long I didn't knew what to fucking do next when I was in the Kitchen after getting the dongle. when I saw a new guard posted by. I guess SO will have to wait.

>tfw cheesed Landslide and too eager to try out Pro to fuck around with the Bonus Episode more

it's a good one, the 'how about a magic trick?' challenge is real good, you can probably guess what happens just from the title

I did 47 Chandeliers. The easiest SASO I did yet. I swear to myself after I give up trying Pro I'ma play Landslide the fuck out. I love the evening setting festival for the pier. Reminds me of the festival time in Venice in AssCreed2.

Without youtu.be/g2wZN_h_AgI

Pls don't die, I really wish this game was popular enough for a general. 9/10 Hitman threads come close to the post limit so I don't know why generals don't happen.

So do I, though half the fucking posts are idiots who complain about how the new one needs to be more like Blood Money.

then go to /vg/?

People have tried to make them before but they don't take off for some reason

Probably simply the lack of major content, not to mention people are pushed away by episodic release and online DRM. I mean the game has plenty of ways to play missions and I like it a lot, but I don't remember replaying Blood Money over and over again within such a short amount of time to warrant continuously talking about it either. I assume most people don't grind the mastery to max level, and this new content patch in particular requires players to have max mastery level already.

The game's already a lot like Blood Money though, just with bigger levels and some gameplay improvements. Just missing sniper briefcase, Jesper Kyd soundtrack and NPCs speaking the mission area's native language. Now that Pro difficulty finally has guards suspecting you if you're carrying the wrong type of weapon in guard uniform that briefcase would actually be useful.

I think this is appropriate. There's nothing fun about circlejerking a singleplayer game, regardless of new content being pushed every now and then. I wouldn't wanna see a Hitman general turn as cancer/autistic as that Undertale one.

How the fuck do I lure that elusive fashion model somewhere secluded?

coin magic

Nu-47 looks like a hipster

Fuck this.

...

After several rounds on the catwalk, yes a long while. He'll take a stroll down a narrow hallway near the catwalk, knockhim out and kill him after the first window he passes.

The only one who could possibly see you is the bartender lounging by. Take him out in the restroom next to him.

When he is going out of the scene(I don't know how you call it, he will take the path out to return into the dressing room.

Where is just near the adjacent hall, you throw a coin, let him get distracted asking you if you dropped something.

Go to the nearby bathroom and overflow water.

He will come to clean up.

WAIT UNTIL HE CLOSES THE WATERFLOW.

Them kill him.

You can do this with your suit only.

This is too dangerous and balsy.

Lure him to the bathroom near where he exits the runway

Just flood the sink in the bathroom next to the catwalk exit, there will be a staff guy standing outside the bathroom leaning against the wall, stick him in the closet and wait for the target to wipe up the mess

I just triggered a lot of women models and even fucking Novikov but now him

He also is ignoring the sink

>lost pro sa virginity on marrakesh
why?

landslide has the best atmosphere yet and professional is fun

That said professional has created the first time in the game that a suitcase is actually needed, npcs (even non-guards) become alarmed a guard carrying a rifle. That is pure bullshit with a briefcase.

>Walked by guard
>Is that...pittbull??
Based IO

>dude let's appeal to normie meme culture lmao
Based IO

I like it, it gets a lot of hate but I can't really find flaws with it besides wasted space.

>being a fucking casual
youtu.be/B7lXyFPQpnk

>DUDE REDDIT HUMOR LMAO
You're in the wrong place.

>when Abiatti cucks the yellow shirt guy
My sides.
It took them a bit, some of the levels weren't solid all the way through, but now they seem to have got the formula down and if they can bring it into season 2 I'd buy it immediately

One thing I hate about Marrakesh is how contrived getting the targets to meet is
>explore the school and get to Zaydan's private room in order to call the Swede
>then run to the other extreme of the map
>explore both the first and second floor of the consulate in order to call Zaydan
>then go back to middle point of the tunnel and kill them
Not to mention stupid shit like the Headmaster and Fortune Teller challenges, with the latter taking ages to follow before you can take his disguise.

Fucking human shields, please oh please.
Back turned only, just like BM.

>two guards facing away
>take one hostage
>shoot his buddy in the leg
>buddy falls down, knock out hostage
>knock out buddy with a face punch

Thats some assassin shit right there

Pro difficulty is fucking garbage.

>You're in the wrong place.
You're on the wrong website.

You're shitting me.

This is a thing???

If you enjoy fanbase pandering self referential humor then you are R.E.D.D.I.T with a capital KEK and I doubt you're over 20 years old.

fuck off Kotti

eh yeah, they should have made it available without getting to 10 mastery and maybe make it so location unlocks only work for professional after a new special set of challenges.

I still think it's pretty damn fun, especially the camera reactions

>self referential humor
Where do you think you are?

>Especially when the PRO MODE challenges revolve heavily around opportunity based kills which I would consider to be EASY MODE.
The challenges are the same as the regular difficulty, they're no different. I watched the video too, why would you complain about revamped AI and levels and instead ask for harder challenges with the same shitty AI and camera system as before? I love the new difficulty, even if some of it is artificial difficulty. The guards and cameras should've reacted like they do in Pro from the very beginning.

Anybody else disapointed by 47 new face?

Any humor here that exists to give everybody on here a nice little pat on the head for being part of the special club that's "in the know" is reddit cancer influence. That only kind of audience acknowledging humor is that which actively antagonizes. Fandom and community deserve to be met with an iron fist. Not cultivated.

Took some getting used to but I like it. I preferred grumpy old wrinkly forehead BM face though. He looks young as hell in 2016.

>If you enjoy fanbase pandering self referential humor then you are R.E.D.D.I.T
You're being mildly autistic for getting so asshurt over some references. Self referential? You're confusing with the idea of the community jokes vs self-gratifying humor. Holy shit kiddo, You just can't show up here after english class thinking spinning words around helps.

>I doubt you're over 20 years old
I know that I'm old enough and been on this site long enough to see 2012 kiddos still love using kek.

Come on, man. Grow up.

>Any humor here that exists to give everybody on here a nice little pat on the head for being part of the special club
Again, where do you think you are?

>hurr they made it too good, take some of it back and just give me some more shitty challenges instead :'(

Community jokes are cancer. Community should be showered with gasoline and then ignited. Community is reddit. The only acceptable common ground is that of hate for other groups, not a common recognition for memes or pop culture references.

The video game board where people are shamed for identifying with brands, displaying autistic tendencies or indulging in circle jerk fostering humor. If you're here to feel part of a club then you should not be here. If your here to attack others then that is okay.

Yeah it happened to me when walking by a guard on landslide wearing the Requiem suit(not sure if any of those factors matter)

Is there a way to turn off the auto pause when you alt tab? I miss being able to shitpost while I wait for the stars to allign.

>Community jokes are cancer. Community should be showered with gasoline and then ignited.
Prejudice isn't a valid argument. Follow with a critique and WHY jokes such as said video are bland and unfunny.
>Community is reddit.
Any conformity and association with any group of people would be considered a community. That means the people here, who actively visit or strike conversation in this thread are part of a community. Branding it as a website doesn't make it any different. I could be calling everyone on this site YouTube or Brazzers. I can't tell if you love playing devil's advocate or that your dad must've dicked you so hard to have such a jaded look at any who share a common interest.
>The only acceptable common ground is that of hate for other groups
Another example of a community. A hate mob is no more different.
>not a common recognition for memes or pop culture references
Have you seen our banners? Or even seen what every board as a community has done? From Sup Forums making Katawa Shoujo to Sup Forums making two pornos with Brazzers. I said this once, but you're on the wrong website.

>From Sup Forums making Katawa Shoujo to Sup Forums making two pornos with Brazzers
It was only ever the reddit sensibility posters on either of those boards that enabled any of that shit.

Holy shit, Kotti can be an ass. He's gone to far in the deep end playing bizarre escalations and contracts he forgot people like to play this game as a stealth game. Not your competitive wallbang competition.

nice butte

THIS

THIS
FUCKING THIS!!

Now you're just making shit up. While I can't say I've been on every thread dedicated to KS' development or even care where did their little circle jerk went off to, but you're just grasping for straws if you're talking about the Sup Forums sticky.

Cheers, made me put down my drink so I could type this. I hope you never finish doing Pro difficulty.

Can you faggots exchange a throwaway email address and bicker over pointless shit somewhere else?

>but you're just grasping for straws if you're talking about the Sup Forums sticky.
I'm primarily from Sup Forums. The only people who ever thought that shit was funny were the same people who post Sup Forums memes in the youtube comments section. Authentic Sup Forums hates Sup Forums and is against the very idea of Sup Forums having a sense of community.

There are some seriously nice asses in ™. If I were 47 I'd quit the ICA and just become a serial rapist.

One thing I dislike about Professional difficulty is how guards who would see through your disguise get alerted if you run near them. I know that's how it's supposed to work for sneaking, but it's kind of silly how one particular guy's jog stands out and makes them turn around if the place is full of people wearing the same uniform and pacing about.

Imagine it's your typical day at work, when all of a sudden some guy you've never met runs by you. He's got one of your uniforms on. Why's he in such a rush? Where's he going? Maybe you should see what he's up to?

Make sniping great again.

Its bullshit when the guards bumrush the exact location of your shot after you take out a target with a suppressed sniper rifle.

bros I just got the bonus episodes, the film set in Sapienza was pretty cool. I'm about to start the Marrakesh one. Any tips?

Does being asked to leave / escorted out of the premises affect witnesses and SA ranking?

It was like this in BM too.
Once you shoot, you have to leave the place asap.

In SA and absolutuon it was broken because guards would get alarmed randomly.

If you get the big red HUD pop-up that says "caught trespassing", then yes.


But I haven't had a chance to play since the update yet so it may have been tweaked

If you're far away enough then they can't pinpoint you. I just finished Sniper Assassin on Landslide and sniped the target from the rooftop out the back door of the ICA apartment when he was coming out of the church and got away with no problems completely undetected.

Finally.
Dongle, Poison Caruso, and Electrocute Franny

You really need to learn how to read.

Somehow I don't think that should fit

ONCE AGAIN, with every update IO fucks with things that were supposedly fixed in the last updates.

HEADSHOT KILL RINGING IS STILL THERE, the patch note regarding the removal of this is misleading. Literally the only (cosmetic) thing I wanted to be patched out.

Also, now full auto guns are back to being burst fire for whatever reason instead of semi when you click just once, even tho the devs fixed it on the last update.

The burst fire sound effect on semi triggers me too m8

Thats probably why they put the shitty 2-round burst back in.

It makes 47 seem like he has no control in his shooting, absolute stupid gameplay decision I noticed when i bought the game last year.

Still, that headshot ZING sound is what bugs me the most, I was scrambling through the patch notes to see if they removed it.

>the big one is a distraction that can ignite shit

ROOOCCCCCCOOOOO

...

How do you change difficulty? I realize this is a stupid question but I can't find the option.

Master destinations (20/20)

You unlock pro difficulty for each location separately

damn sis bro like wtf bro you see all this shit right here sis? this shit right here bro it's all fucken temporary man like cmon bro sis
