Long time Hitman fan. Played when it came out.

Hitman: Absolution sucks.

Discuss.

 

EDIT: If you want a rather lengthy explanation+video material, etc, I'd recommend this PC first-impressionist in general. Although he admins not having played the original Hitman as I did, his points are valid.

 

For my part, it seem to be looks nice,

 

Btw, you did you think that ?

Best English ever.

 

on topic: new detection system is hard. #nerfdetection2013

Haven't played it yet but it looks pretty good.

 

And saying that a game sucks without naming any reason is just stupid.

> new detection system sucks

> new evasion system sucks even more

 

You can walk past ANYTHING while burning Instinct, but if you play on purist mode, you can't. Because the game is intended to use "Instinct" (all difficulty levels except Purist have it) as a means of getting by.

 

> first Hitman was all-over the world, every mission unique

> this Hitman is in 2-3 locales, tedious and repetative

 

This is rather self-explanatory.

 

> Hitman used to hit men

> Hitman now running from teh law

 

You are basically pulling off a reverse Max Payne 3.

He doesn't do contracts anymore, he's just some random-fag running from the cops. Used to be a goddamn killer for hire, now he's a nobody.

 

I can go on an on.

You seem to think many new games suck. What games do you like?

 

Sure you can have your opinion, but I'm still intrested if you play any other games.

Hmm I loved blood money and this doesn't sound to promising if its true.

I have only watched reviews and not played it but it seems that is departs from the series in a terrible way

I don't see how game devs stray so far from what used to be so good :/

2012 good games in order of appearance, regardless of platform (excluding HD re-releases and ports to PSN, PC, XBL):

 

- Black Light: Retribution

- Tribes: Ascend

- Orcs Must Die! 2

- Darksiders 2

- Sleeping Dogs *rather meh

- CS: GO

- Black Mesa

- Retro City Rampage

- Torchlight II

- Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

- Natural Selection 2

ItВґs sucks? I wanted to download/buy it... Well maybe I will watch more youtube videos about this game.

Added video. Watch and discuss.

Uhh, Blood Money was ALOT better, compared to this shit.

I'm downloading it right now and probably gonna play it on the weekend

But after hearing all this I'm kinda turned off by the game

it's funny how ign "thinks" the game is much better then prequels

You shouldn't trust to IGN.

You shouldn't trust to IGN.

That's why you should watch TotalBiscuit for any major game. Well not all.

Interesting thumbnail. It completely lacks any content from the video.

how does watching a video review compare to reading text reviews, which is what IGN offers primarily?

Yeah I played it for 15 minutes, and was like yep this sucks

dot.

 

I am definetly getting this game

*Arr matey!*

 

as I love the new features in this especially the challenges system

Sadly I have to agree with this. All this new helping system, seeing enemys trough walls etc. It doesnt really give you the challenge feeling like it used to. They just made another easy game for the 12 year olds.

This game sure may be fun and challenging to some, but as a hitman game it's a bitter disappointment! I'm not against innovation in a game series (I encourage it and it's fun to find new elements of play in your favorite game) as long as it doesn't corrupt the core of the game. And that's what has happend to hitman in this latest release! Hitman used to be about large mission maps ("It's a big casino") and the creative freedom you had as a player to achieve your goals. Now it feels like you're in a straitjacket compared to previous hitman games. Absolution is so linear (going from A to most of the time that it is really annoying. The introduction of checkpoints (which in my opinion don't fit a hitman game at all!) emphasizes this even more. Levels are way to small and you have to hide and sneak so much that the environment is set up in an unnatural way to let you do it. Implementing features from other games ruin the true hitman feeling even further and make it all to main stream (a save bet from the development team? Well it was a wrong bet for me I'm afraid). Despite the good things in Absolution (great graphics, superb voice acting by David Bateson and some good new elements (like the new fighting mode) it remains a letdown for a true hitman fan like me. I actually felt so bad about Absolution I stopped playing it. I pity myself that I pre ordered it. The disks are in the trash, the case I'll keep to store my vacation photos on DVD. Sorry, but this ain't hitman...
