In between missions 47 rests on his home, the Space Colony ARK.Buccaneer posted:Are you really upset that there aren't more black people you can kill in Hitman lol You're really bad at this. Nakar posted:The printing press is pretty gruesome (if perhaps a bit unrealistically efficient at smushing Zaydan to pulp), but it also comes with a he-had-it-coming feel that a lot of opportunities do. Zaydan is using the printing press to create fake propaganda to justify his coup, so it's fitting that he dies to his own insistence that the press keep running. Giving a dude a horrifying mental illness drug trip is pretty hosed up. Convincing Silvio Caruso his ghost mom is back for revenge is similarly hosed up but it's mitigated by how much Caruso deserves it for killing her and being a petty shithead in general. I dunno, something about that Rose opportunity goes beyond the pale in a way deliberately overcharging his explosives so he kills himself with a rookie bombmaker's mistake doesn't. A big part of it is the writing; the VAs and writers for Hitman did a fantastic job of setting up dialogue to make these deaths as ironic as possible.

So I'd say "there's definitely probably going to be a season two" and that's all anybody can really say right now.

Nakar posted:Yeah one thing I was thinking was to give some super silly non-stealthy options like Incendiary Rounds or Explosive Fragmentary Rounds or a comically long slide. Maybe require certain unlocks to destroy certain objects so you can't use Subsonic Rounds (Krugermeier-style suppression) and also shoot cameras, until some crazy Season Two unlock comes out.

njsykora posted:The KAI sabotage is one of the most unsettling things I've seen rendered in a videogame. Effectively steam burning Yamazaki alive in the sauna is pretty drat brutal as well. Sauna death isn't anything new though. You can kill one of the Fuchs brothers that way and actually, it's easier than drowning him as shown in that cinematic. In regards to what 47 does off-duty, we DO know he likes pet canaries though he is not adverse to breaking their poor tiny necks. He might also like the color pink based off of how much pink paint he had for that one safe house of his in Blood Money? Lareine fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Jul 4, 2017 |

Renoistic posted:I haven't played much of '16 yet but 47 has never been a heroic badass. He kills the people he's contracted to kill. He doesn't even enjoy the killing, it's just what he does. He's basically a robot without feelings, and will kill completely innocent people if he's ordered to. Absolution tried (and failed at) giving him a redemptive arc, and even them the game starts with him murdering his old handler because he was contracted to. No part of that means you aren't a badass  If anything looking away and not giving a poo poo about explosions and things is what MAKES you a badass  shut up blegum posted:Don't want to open a can of worms here, but what was exactly racist about blood money? I don't remember a thing about that game, except the mansion of the Mexican drug lord? I think? The mark actually uses a racial slur when talking about one of the black characters in the level.

Slight change of topic, has anybody ever seen 47 actually eat anything? I've only seen him drink, even in game when you blend in as a guest. He drinks there, he actually takes a sip. But eating? Don't recall in any of the games him ever taking a bite. In Absolution, he could hide as a cop by going over to a doughnut box and holding a doughnut in front of his face but he never actually ate it or made any attempt to.

What with how many poisons there are and how easy it is for you to slip around poisoning people's foods, I wouldn't eat anything I didn't prepare from scratch myself either.

The first time I played that level I was just messing around and exploring, and I shot his heart on a whim. It was like Diana was speaking directly to me! She probably would have liked it more if I didn't also kill everybody down there and also cremate a couple of unconscious people alive, but the sentiment was there.

Wasn't a huge interpretation of old Hitman, especially Blood Money that 47 basically sees everyone as their worst/47 really doesn't like people? Like everyone is a sterotype basically? Women are just big breasted bimbos that exist for sex, French people say hon hon a bunch and like baguettes, the Japanese are all actually ninjas, politicians are all skeezy motherfuckers. Because 47 doesn't give a gently caress and has jason vision where all he cares about is the kill. e: Here it is. http://www.pentadact.com/2006-09-23-blood-money-and-sex/ Yeah, basically just 47 really doesn't like people, and we see the world through his eyes.

Rookersh posted:Wasn't a huge interpretation of old Hitman, especially Blood Money that 47 basically sees everyone as their worst/47 really doesn't like people? This is genuinely interesting! It fits in with his interactions in new Hitman, too - literally his only ways to interact with the world are violent or disruptive. Blend in so you can sneak past guards. Turn on sinks. Shank someone. It all lends itself to this...fascinating horrifying picture of a broken man who can't quit killing. And it doesn't necessarily makes me more comfortable with the depictions of racism in the earlier games, but it's a neat way to think about it. Thanks!

It could be that the ways to interact in the world are violent and disruptive because this is a videogame series about assassinating bad people like gangbangers but sure it could be a dream.

lol chilis just being a dick for being a dicks sake it ain't no thing but 47 doesn't see the world in any particularly hosed up way, you just can't make a game where the goal is to kill people if you're killing people that don't deserve canonically deserve it. that's why you're always killing people who are already involved in shady poo poo and not the people involved in stopping them. you're almost always going to be killing the mob boss, not the judge sentencing the mob boss to a prison term like a real hitman would be. i think Blood Money had a lot more "edge" in that regard, in that you were definitely doing more blatantly for-profit hits, rather than the kind of Secret Agent-esque hits you're doing in 2016.

It costs millions or possibly billions to get 47 to kill someone for you so I imagine the kinds of people whom very rich people want killed have done something to warrant that kind of outlay. You don't hire the world's best assassin who never fails (except in Absolution) unless there is someone you want super dead.

Well this is a momentous occasion. It shouldn't have worked and I have no idea how I managed to be even <1 second faster, but fkgfw is a loving beast and this is the first time I haven't been brutally schooled by him on the order of 15+ seconds. In fact, the run I recorded was in fact about 15 seconds slower than his. If you can figure out from this how I was able to cut 17 seconds I'll be impressed because the answer is loving stupid.
