Funny you bumped this as I hadn't gotten around to it yet. Playing these "reboots" for the first time and holy shit the game finally clicks for me. LOVING IT. Only played through Marakesh so far because I keep replaying until I finish the "mission stories" and get silent assassin. Super fun.

Having to keep a 100GB game installed

Tried the windows 10 compact cmd? Shrinks Nioh from 70GB to 20GB, runs faster too. AFAIK games made with ps4/xbo in mind tend to have shit compression.

will PowerTorment make a showing in the noclip doc?

Nu-Hitman is at its best when you really deep dive into one level and replay the shit out of it, I think the game opens up at the point when you start to see how much you can get out of each level. Funnily enough I think its one game where the much maligned episodic release actually suited the format, as it forces you to do that with each level rather than speed running the game and then complaining its to short/not enough content.

I like both. That first run where you explore everything and open up most of the mission stories feels pretty epic (and takes me like an hour and a half, because I have all assistance on minimal). Then going back to master it is also great fun. I'm kind of worried I will get burnt out long before the end, but I can take a break when I need to I guess. Only issue there is how much fucking SSD space it takes up. Speaking of the assistance, I'm assuming most people leave it on and I feel like that would really kill the game. The fun is walking around and finding these opportunities on your own, and when it says "find a screwdriver" having to actually find a screwdriver. I know modern gamers love playing follow the arrow, so I don't blame them for doing it, but man I really hope most people on a forum like this one turned that shit off.

CEO says how giving away first episode(s) of Hitman 2016 boosted sales and helped their cash flow as an independent company.

Hitman 3 may go episodic again. The whole trilogy will have 20 or so maps.

They're secretly working on a new IP.

"World of Assassination when it's complete will be one game starting from Paris to last locations of Hitman 3"

what the fuck are y'all waiting for then

 

[DalekFlay]

That's cool. Reminds me that everything I'm doing in Hitman 2 will need to be unlocked again in Hitman 3 though, like the Hitman 1 guys complained about with 2.

Call me again when timed content is removed.

Oh god damn it I hope not, I got so annoyed by that. If we have to re-unlock 1 AND 2 again... But aside from that having all the games connected is great. Im happy to throw more money at these guys. They dun good.

Oh boy, Mk3 unlocks

This is how my assassinations usually ends up:

They patched in SSAO options and the new "ultra" setting looks a good bit better.

I like these kind of maps, we had Whittleton Creek for that slice of American suburbia, now we get some typical Eastern European suburbia. (This is what Russian towns look like right?)

 

[AwesomeButton]

Why is it a sniper mission, IOI cease fire into your foot, ffs...

 

[Zombra]

Yeah, I'm sure they decided to throw 5 years of design out the window and make a mission with only one way to complete it.

 

[Alienman]

I would have loved to infiltrate that prison... but instead pew pew.

Your character cannot move from a fixed position when you are playing a map for the Sniper Assassin mode.

What a terrible month. Unless you're crazy about legacy elusive targets and escalations I guess.

Meme briefcase sounds fun though.
