I watched Giant Bomb play this and though I didn't like any of the Hitmans besides Blood Money (which I didn't finish) I think this new one looks amazing. I love that it's just a handful of huge maps with various objectives to go do and learn instead of a regular linear structure. Does it play better on PS4 or PC? Should I just start with the intro mode to see if I like it?

Thanks guys, I have a pretty beefy pc so I'll give the starter pack a shot on PC and see how I like it. Anything I should keep in mind compared to Blood Money (which I was rear end at but that's half the fun)?

I'm surprised there's any plot at all to be honest. Though it's funny they keep dancing around 47's goofy origins.

It's a little thing in a game loaded with little things but I think the thing I like best is that you don't have to complete the mission for challenges to save. You can complete them then immediately die or leave or whatever and it will stay completed. That's so nice compared to how most games do it. Also jeez, even the two prologue missions have a lot of ways to tweak them. I haven't even loaded Paris yet. Definitely going to pick the whole thing up.

The Cheshire Cat posted:You're going to be pretty blown away by Paris if you think the prologue missions are detailed. It and the other major levels are a whole other league. I have some questions here: Why can everyone hear my gunshots over the fireworks? I'm trying to shoot the target by using them as a distraction from the second floor, except I can't aim over the balcony, and doing it from behind has the guard get instantly alerted to my silenced pistol and zero in on me. Is there a way to know which guards will attack me for not being a black-suited guard? Half of them just wave and say hi. How do I NOT punch someone out? Crouching and hitting X is just getting up and whaling on them. e: Why does it take two shots to the head from the silenced pistol to kill someone? e: I equip the garrote. I sneak behind the guy. I press "Garrote"....he punches the guy. Got the first guy! I was able to sneak into a corner and get him, then walked past his bodyguard. The controls are a bit awkward but this is really fun.

I did not! I'll keep that in mind for later. I was also trying to just drop a bust on his head but it's impossible to aim blind lol. I did eventually get him by sneaking more. The real fun's going to be replaying and learning how it all works together.

marktheando posted:Too far away probably. A lot of the weapons are dogshit past their effective range. Does it have a range of like five feet? I'm pretty close. Also I still can't consistently garrote and not punch the guy out. If they're doing anything but standing does it not work? Same for Subdue. It's also really finicky who gets pulled by coins, but I just need to learn that I think.

The silenced pistol is worthless for me. Five shots to the chest and head, and I didn't kill the scientist in Italy. Not that it matters, I never found out where the virus was. It took 3 to kill David Caruso too. I got the garrote down though, I keep swapping from guard to waiter. Maybe I should stop bothering with things that aren't rifles and do more opportunities.

Thief posted:The silenced pistol rules and bailed me out of many situations that would have ruined the entire run for me. The one with that stupid digi-camo pattern on it has like a 20 round mag so you can just unload into multiple targets if you waltz through the wrong door. Will it let me dress up as a jester? I want to figure out how to get that costume on.

I love the contracts you can set up to screw around in levels after you've done whatever else. I'm bad at getting over zero points, but shanking all the crew members with a screwdriver is its own reward.

How does the scoring system work? Is it primarily time based with negatives for killing? Does going for a high point score matter for anything?

Oh cool, I didn't think so but figured I'd ask. I keep having people find things and also taking half an hour, so that combined with my kills (do subdued people wake up if you toss them in a box?) means it's always lovely. I want to do a smg run later.

I'd appreciate it if the smg and shotgun's aim assist didn't lead the gun five feet to the right. e: What am I supposed to do to disable the virus? I have the biolab security (which everyone knows I'm not), and can get a technician outfit (which everyone knows I'm not), and I have the card, but can't get close. And shootouts won't work because I die in one bullet and the guns don't aim at people. e: I think I got it. e: No I don't I can't get to the hazmat suit.

I couldn't even get in there, couldn't figure out how to get past the two guards staring at the only entrance I could find to the hazmat suit, so I looked it up and just shot the stalactite. I really like everything about the level but this area, what a pain in the rear end.

Mastery weapon unlocks carry over? That explains how I have that sniper rifle in Sapienza then. My girlfriend watched me be Hitman No. 1 Best In World (rest in peace Hitman No. 1 Best In World, if only you had bumbled in another direction) and she laughed at all the British people in Italy and kept asking why nobody was speaking in Italian. She also thought 47 looked like a dork in the shirt and sunglasses.

I'm doing escalations for the first time and doing the first one on the boat map. Is there a special reason why the galley crew can't pick up kitchen knives? It's a crime, somehow. e: I just whipped a pair of scissors at Helmut in the yard then hauled rear end for the chopper and somehow didn't die lol. Can't do that next time though

The thing making the elusive target hard is you can't get out of the way of these bodyguards. I'm one of you! Stop hogging the doorway rear end in a top hat! e: Got him! Used the exploding golf ball and the church getup, started in the safehouse. Waited for him to get to that little building behind the church, sat behind the statue he was in front, and lobbed it out.

Thief posted:fwiw irl guns like that are actually quite a bit louder than they seem in movies and television. I was about twenty yards away. At least it killed him in one shot; I knew I was going to get caught, just not immediately. In Italy it took about twelve to kill the regular target (and it still didn't so I reloaded). I wouldn't have used it in the first place, but I was out of time and wouldn't be able to mess around more later. Next time I'll be sneakier about it. It's kind of funny that just whipping some scissors or something at someone is quieter, faster, and more powerful than just shooting them. quote:Yeah even if the other people in the room spot you it will revert back to normal if you kill them before they scream for help or shoot back.

Oh nooo I threw the golf ball at Busey from a hidden spot, it killed everyone around him but him (what the hell btw, it hit him square on), then I shot him and killed him, but two guards I didn't see rounded the corner. I restarted to try again. I forgot the rule about killing the target.  e: Got to level 5 on the killing the chef escalation in Sapienza though! It's super easy since you can sprint from the kitchen start and get to him before the door closes. Except the part with the tripwire.
