Dino Bosco didn't deserve to be murdered but the longer you spend on that level listening to his nonstop whining, the less bad you feel about it. Fun fact, that guy's voice actor was originally meant to voice 47 in Absolution which is actually referenced in some NPC dialogue.

The hilarious part is the movie studio finds hiring 47 to murder the director is cheaper than paying out his contract or letting him keep filming.

where the red fern gropes posted:the least evil target is the actor that plays Jasper Knight because he's literally just an actor who gets blown through the ceiling of an aircraft hanger during what is supposed to be simulated training doesn't Diana say something along the lines of "Good thing he's wearing a parachute."? Of course that's ignoring the head trauma from blasting through the roof

Just think of him as the Chris Roberts of movies. Because he basically is. Also I gotta remember that when I do the Icon again in 2. I didn't know that about his voice!

another fun little voice actor thing is that 47 and pre-Absolution Diana have done Christmas cabarets in Copenhagen for the past 35 years I've seen them a few times. They're... not good (great voices though)

Discendo Vox posted:One of the militia members in the barn upper floor lays it out pretty well. Rose is a psychopath who obsessively seeks symbolic causes that will give him a justification to kill people. He really doesn't care what the ideology is, he'll get swept up in anything if it means people will die. Those descriptions are copy pasted from the target Intel on the pause screen /mission briefing (just select the target on either and there will be a prompt for "view Intel"). Alma Reynard and Wazir Kale's profiles can even only be viewed once the game designates them as targets during their levels. And I thought I was kidding for saying I was a bigger lore nerd than you for reading those things earlier in the thread, lol.

Oh hey, a 1.2GB update. Oh hey, servers are down for maintenance. Can elusive targets be taken down while in offline mode, or do they require server connectivity?

Alright, so like 1.5 hours more, then. I was going to ask how the game is in offline mode but wow. Everything is locked off, can't even see challenges or masteries per map. Items are still unlocked and usable, but I can't smuggle things in because those mastery unlocks are online dependent. How utterly bizarre. I'm kinda worried that things won't unlock properly if I do bother to play right now. (Was thinking of doing a last couple laps on Miami before doing the elusive target. )

i liked hitman blood money, and hitman season 1. I was really hoping they'd do away with the always online poo poo after ditching square or whoever. I guess I'll begrudgingly get this on sale just because season 1 was fun but I would feel better about it if they got rid of the always online, would even be enticed towards paying full price and getting the gold edition, rather than waiting for the inevitable $20 for the lot edition. The best thing about hitman to me, is having everything going horribly horribly wrong and trying to get away with it anyway. Did they fix the hint system and make it so you don't get gps to the next press a to win spot? I know you could disable it in season 1 but it was very hard to make any sense of what the game expected me to do without it on, but it was definitely more fun without it. If they made it so you could figure out how to do the cool assassinations partly with your brain and partly with some good hints that would be badass.

I haven't finished my playthrough of the season 1 maps and I'm wondering about Colorado: does it still force you to take the bunker exit when you play it in story mode? Am I going to have to play it in contracts to get the challenges for the other exits?

Most exit and starting location challenges seem to be gone from the base missions, I assume that's also true for Colorado.

if a target finds their bodyguard's unconscious body approximately two seconds before they get shot in the head, does it ruin your silent assassin rating?

All actors are insured movie to movie. The director probably is too. That's actually why Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey Jr. disappeared from movies for awhile. Both were unisurable for awhile. That's also how Marvel got Downey for dirt cheap for Iron Man 1. Speaking of movies, I just saw The Mechanic and it's as close to a good Hitman movie we'll ever get. It even ends with a hitman.txt kill. How is the sequel?

I mean some of them you can do without hint markers and some you can. Like, without getting too deep into spoilers I just did one of the last level's mission stories where you have to "find a dagger" to start with. And no, they don't tell you at all where you can find a dagger and there's no way to know what to do without them pointing out the area it's in. A great QOL improvement to the game would be turning guide markers off and on with the push of a button. Because some of them don't really require markers, just a working brain and the ability to follow clues. Others seem to just assume you always have markers turned on.

The statue unveiling story mission in Colombia actually gives it away a little, if you take too long to find the band members, it just puts waypoints up to find them, even if you're on minimal :/

Here's the patchnotes: https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-2-game-update-2-11/ Also for PC players there's a new vaguely named "Simulation Quality" option that defaults to the lowest setting. Turn it up and see what happens I suppose?

Killing a witness should erase the "never spotted" penalty. Dead men tell no tales. You're also getting a non-target penalty so it should even out rather than double up. Wasn't there a little dog in blood money you had to shoot to get "no witnesses" bonus on the Christmas party level?

Performance seems to have improved a lot with the new patch - previously I got about 60fps in busy crowds and 100fps in the least demanding areas, but now it's more like 75 min 130 max. (8700k/GTX1070 running 1440p max settings, including the new simulation setting)

Farm Frenzy posted:if a target finds their bodyguard's unconscious body approximately two seconds before they get shot in the head, does it ruin your silent assassin rating? Not anymore  Also I disagree on "find a dagger" not having direction on minimal, there are multiple NPC conversations where it's made very clear that it's in a random crate in the artifact storage room somewhere and they just don't know which one -- although I suppose that depends on what direction you tackle the mission from, because I think if you scale the walls straight into Janus's burial prep room and get the opportunity there, you miss out on all the hint conversations between other NPCs on that floor. I approached it by going through the castle, though, and picked up a bunch of foreshadowing about the dagger's location before I actually got the prompt
