Hey
PowerTorment, now that Hitman 2 is confirmed to be a first week financial disappointment, can you ask people around the studio if it was worth it to have Denuvo, Always-online DRM, 2005-tier PC graphical options, 5 levels and to ask people for 60€? Also please ask them why Jesper Kyd hasn't returned.
Thanks!
I've been on the fence to get Hitman 2 but guess I'll wait for a deep sale. Is it worth getting at all?
There's a pretty big chunk of people that, during the 2016 Hitman days, were critical of IOI for their Elusive Targets (that are live for one day and disappear forever, rewards you'll never get), always-online DRM, Denuvo, and lack of gameplay features compared to Blood Money, a 10 year old game. At the time, these people directed most of their rage at Square Enix, screaming "it's all the publisher's fault". The usual talk.
Square Enix quits the picture and IOI has full control of the IP. The same mistakes are made, except now the sect has shifted into irrationally defending IOI despite getting brutally assfucked at every angle by them.
Is Hitman 2 good? Yeah, from what I've played of it it's more of the same. (TM) 1 was good, this one is too (if you turn your brain off and don't compare it to Blood Money). Is it 60€ good? No, it isn't. The content is simply not there to justify it.
