HITMAN 2 - the new NON-episodic Hitman game

[Agame]

Sure that collecting stuff is kinda lame, but I could easily argue most of the guns are also superfluous as I have yet to use anything other than pistol and sniper after playing through both nu-Hitmans.

Its just stuff to scratch that itch for collectophiles.

But they could have easily done something like MKII lockpicks pick 5% faster etc, just so you feel its gaining something.

New York is a bit disappointing for a location. The US in general is.

I dunno if it's just me but it seems like the thumbnail and other parts of the video seems to make his face look a bit more stern like in previous titles (also glad they're at least using some classy music than something painfully shit).

Spoiler

(honestly could just be the lighting in the trailer being dark)

 

[AwesomeButton]

I really hope the feeling of "banks are evil", "bankers are bloodsuckers", "capitalism is heartless exploitation of others" that I am getting from this trailer is not the running theme of the mission itself.

 

[CyberWhale]

All of them are true, tho.

Greed is good. If it wasn't for the institution of credit we'd be living nearly like in the mid-ages.

Im just happy we have a bank level, I actually prefer the more 'mundane' locations over the 'exotic'. I think its because the stakes feel higher trying to stealth through civilian locations as compared to gunning down generic cartel/mafia/militia mooks.

That last gif gave me child-like glee

 

[AwesomeButton]

how?

I guess a gas tank and a remote-controlled duck.

Got the list, poisoned the Entertainer, no bodies found etc. Did not get Silent Assassin

Dont they have an SA notification now? So you should know the exact moment you lose it?

 

[HoboForEternity]

i screwed up in finding the list. i thought it was the guy who you can peek from the club bathroom, so i blew him up with candle and gas leak, turned out it's the woman outside lel.

No one cares about sniper missions. It's boring when you can't move.

HAVE they survived going independent? It hasn't been super long, and Hitman 2 didn't sell super well from what I've read.

 

[PowerTorment]

We are not dead yet... It has been two years so far since independence. Going well. Lots to do and many games to make.

You guys are doing great!

Just wish you wouldn't lock out elusive targets.

Yeah, just started to play again, and seeing all those missed targets just pisses me off. So much content locked away for some reason. I wanna kill Sean Bean for fucks sake.

This design is just the fucking worst. Even worse than micro transactions.

 

[AwesomeButton]

BTW, PowerTorment , I apologize if my 2-year old asking me to go to the underground parking and go in and out of the same underpass in Miami is messing up your telemetry statistics about player walking patterns :D

 

[Terra]

Yeah, Elusives would be much better handled if they were unlocked on their release date and then it was left up to the player as to when they make their attempt, instead of restricting it to a 1~ week period of IO's choosing. Having to keep a 100GB game installed and randomly play new content at IO's convenience for a portion of the game that shouldn't even have an online dependency is off-putting. I'd hoped that they'd move away from that model after breaking away from Square, they've missed the key fact that as good as Hitman 2 is, sometimes I'm just not in the mood to play it.

 

[Zombra]

I think the Elusive Targets system is cool. I like that call to action, the sense of immediacy. The only thing I would change is that if you miss the window, that target is still out there and a new window might appear some time later.
