that's correct. there is technically an open city but the only thing you ever do in it is drive back to the same three locations at the end of each mission. even the parts where you're in a car chase are over in like 30 seconds because the cops lose you if you escape their line of sight for a few seconds. you can go anywhere you want within it but why would you? there's nothing to do anywhere.

if you drive east of mzahnch theres a mudcrab who will buy whatever you got

could it possibly be more racist than mafia 3? at least that's vaguely self-aware given the main character is black but whoo boy the first major setipece is a shootout in an incredibly racist abandoned theme park

Mafia 3 has a lot of racism in it, but considering you go through that theme park as a black feller and murder a whole bunch of good ol' boy racists idk if I'd call the game itself racist? I mean I wouldn't call In the Heat of the Night a racist film.

still playing Hades a whole lot, got to credit roll again the other day

it's kind of weird, a whole bunch of plot threads and conversations that i recall from 2 years ago haven't even started, and yet a lot of characters've shifted to generic one-liners. i swear i remember Asterius and Other Guy having an argument or something at one point, for example

now i just got the dialogue with meg that's like "why the hell did you sign the pact of punishment you idiot" even though i've already had the dialogue for turning it on then back off the following run. i don't remember things being so inconsistent last time (not that it's a big deal or anything)

i think if you progress fast enough it definitely makes the dialogue triggers a bit wonky since they get queued iirc, so stuff will fire some time after it's relevant

hitman freelancer mode trip report day, uh, 5. finally managed to complete two sections of a campaign and only kill two suspects incorrectly because I don't know what earings look like. wanging people in the head with tools continues to be the most valuable tactic, and blowing open safes attracts surprisingly little attention

also this image is very apt:

so how rough would this freelancer mode be for someone who's only ever played london & sapienza from 1 in 3

Honestly I would play through the rest of the story missions first. They're pretty good (except for the very last mission on the train, which is more of an extended cinematic anyway). Don't look at guides, it defeats the point of the game. (You can come back later to achievement-hunt with a guide if you really want to).

idk maybe not too bad if you're prepared to slam into a wall a few times. I don't remember playing 2, and 1 was ages ago so had no memory of any of the maps and it hasn't been that bad because your targets are in random locations, so it's not like you had to know how to get into a specific place

like I had a Hokkaido one where one target was right outside my door when I started and another was walking around the same floor. That should have been a silent assassin but I pressed the wrong button and pulled a knife and had to shoot my way out.

some of the maps in 3 are a pain in the rear end though (looking at you Berlin and Chongqing)

oh, and the extra routes you unlock in the game carry into freelancer I think.

I guess it's easier to get a feel for things when you can savescum it

i ended up playing thru London & Sapienza again yesterday. Reminded me I've got two hang-ups I need to work past (advice appreciated)

- I savescum if I so much as get spotted by a camera. Unless i'm forced - overwrote an earlier save or something - it's really hard for me to just roll with mistakes instead of compulsively hitting Load
- I get kinda bored repeating levels, even for seeing different Mission Stories - not least because there's so many more levels to do - so my odds of memorizing much that's useful about the maps themselves is kinda slim. Especially if they're all the size of Sapienza, yeesh

when i played hitman 1 and some of 2 i actually enjoyed barely making it through by the skin of my teeth. chaos mode is the greatest

when i first tried 1 i made myself miserable by trying to understand the whole clockwork mechanism. gently caress that. exploding rubber duckies etc are more fun

the thing is i did learn levels somewhat because you can't exactly clouseau your way out of everything so by brute forcing it you're basically a velociraptor systematically testing the game designers' electric fence. or a boomer asking very specific questions at the hr harassment seminar
