HITMAN 3 | Fantastic Finale, Fumbled Launch

[@CriticalNobody]

Update: As of 2/18/2021, IO fixed the PC content transfer issue. Better late than never, though I maintain it shouldn’t have been an problem in the first place. HITMAN 3 provides another batch of quality assassinations to add onto Agent 47's extensive resume and your connection to the HITMAN server has been lost...

Time for "Reviewing EVERY Hitman - Critical Nobody - Part 2"

[@SOBEKCrocodileGod]

Personally Berlin was my favorite for the atmosphere. It made me think of the Meat King’s Party from Hitman: Contracts mixed with a John Wick movie. The grimy, abandoned, unnerving location turned into a night club rave party (with some folks even walking around in masks) reminds me of that classic mission from Contracts. The whole thing of the agents hunting you down is really intense and added to the atmosphere really well. I think Chongqing was the most disappointing mission. The city environment was beautiful but it was underutilized and set aside for that shady laboratory and the high-tech underground facility. Carpathian Mountains wasn’t what I expected and was a bit too linear but still felt very gratifying. It was very satisfying to be able to just go nuts and let loose with assault rifles, shotguns, and SMGs. It was nice to have a mission where those are a viable option.

I always found the "you must be always online to play a single player game" aspect of the current Hitman trilogy pure bullshit. I understand piracy is a concern, but to go around punishing paying customers is not the way to remedy it. Learn something from Valve, accept that pirates will be pirates, and work on rewarding legit copies.

[@q-tip4723]

There is one solution I can think of: if the game is detected as a pirated copy, 47 can't equip disguises and he's always in a hostile area no matter what. In addition, no alternative starting locations can be used or unlocked, you can only use the default load out, and the game always gives you a 1 star rating no matter how well you do.

[@creeperhunterD]

@@q-tip4723 Those piracy changes are always worked around within weeks or months of implementation. Pirates, unsuprisingly, are good at finding ways to play things for free. IOI just needs to realize that pirates aren't going to buy the game just because they can't pirate it. They'll just find a different game to pirate.

I highly doubt that piracy was the main or sole reason of this "always online shit" I bought Hitman 3 and got so fucking sick of all the disconnecting issues, that I just said "fuck this" and stopped playing, then I found that if you copy and paste a crack onto the game and a few simple mods, I could enjoy the game with no problem at all and not care about my progression, so I did that, and I enjoyed the game offline. (also to clear out, the mods made most of the magic to make the game work offline, I just put the crack because I was affraid that I would get screwed over for some dumb shit)

I had never played a Hitman game before Hitman 3 and only picked it up due to every other game that was set to come out getting delayed months out again. And, I loved it. I always assumed Hitman was just the usual action game with stealth mechanics in it as well. It is not often that I misread a game, and even less often I try and end up loving that game. Even less when it is a decades long running series that has a fanbase. I immediately went and bought and downloaded Hitman 1 and 2 into Hitman 3. Game is so much fun. And the replayability on these are high given how many different ways you can play a level and the open nature of how you can proceed to your assassinations in each level. Consider me a new fan of this series for sure. Awesome awesome game. Not sure if any of the previous games hit 60fps but the smoothness of 3, and 1 and 2 if you import them, plays really well especially in 4K. So much fun and would recommend to anyone looking for something to play right now. And you’re right, the murder mystery one was unexpected and a lot of fun as well. On one of my later playthroughs I set a personal goal of killing everyone in the house. I’m not a sociopath, you’re a sociopath. What.

[@horusreloaded6387]

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin's Steam page has a screenshot of 47 violently gunning down someone and then Absolution plays like an action movie but is a stealth game. These can cinfuse people I imagine. New Hitman games are crazy enjoyable though

[@Furymgs3]

The very very first game in the series (Hitman: Codename 47) often ends up playing like the usual action game with stealth mechanics because it was a pretty novel concept that wasn't well thought out at the time, but the formula started to improve immediately from the second game onwards. If you don't mind somewhat dated graphics, you might want to consider picking up Blood Money, which introduced a lot of the more modern Hitman concepts to the series (most notably accidents, distractions and expanded environmental kills and interactions). That said, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin and Hitman: Contracts are excellent as well. But yeah, the very first game is skipable if gameplay is what you're looking for, unless you're interested in the lore and the origins of the series. Especially since Contracts is partly a remake of some of the best missions in Codename 47.

I think they'll make it so that you can unlock progression offline, but as far as contracts go, I don't know.

[@adaptorperish1322]

Probably. They’re not shy devs, had no problem charging dozens of € for sniper rifles in mobile Sniper game, locking out elusive targets forever, not transfer progression/Mastery with Hitman 1 unlocked in Hitman 2 and both in Hitman 3 and include stupid challenges just to pad the gameplay time (catching fucking frogs, are you kidding me?!). I wouldn’t expect that. I know it costs money to sustain servers, but don’t fucking do it in the first place, if it’s a problem. Apparently piracy concerns and player data collection are really that important to them, that they are willing to annoy ALL of their players who paid them (full) money, which is incredibly fucking dumb.

[@minecraftermike1243]

I too thought Lucas Grey's death was rushed, so I did some thinking. My conclusion? He's not dead. He fires a military-grade pistol straight at his head, from point blank range. The bullet would have gone straight through his head, and since it was straight up through his chin, it would've caused very little to no damage to the brain. And the damage it would've caused wouldn't be fatal. His other wounds from the CICADA officers obviously weren't even near any vitals, because he was able to run and even break an officers arm. And on average, it takes around three and a half hours to bleed to death, even from multiple gunshot wounds. This would've left plenty of time for hikers or townspeople to find him and nurse him back to health. In short: Lucas Grey faked his death to escape CICADA officers.

[@courier6960]

If you think a point blank shot from a military pistol that goes directly through your brain isn’t going to be lethal, you have never taken an anatomy or physics class in your life. Also 47 had the time to take his clothes, he certainly would have noticed if Grey was still alive.

I feel as though the level where you're being hunted down by the other hitmen would've been more interesting if you were being hunted. You start in a level, a parade or celebration or something, with no objective, but notice a suspicious man following you. When you get to a private area he tries to off you,and then you discover you're being hunted. The only way you can find who is and isn't an ICA agent is if you either catch them setting a trap for you, or they try and kill you. You still get the earpiece and can hear chatter, but its used by the others more frequently, giving clues to their locations and updates when you aren't even near them. And when their handler turns off the earpieces they don't communicate anymore, and you have to figure out who it is on your own.

Actually when i saw that level i hoped the other guys acted more in a "Hitman" way, i know they are not 47 but i wanted to see them actually using his own tricks, like trying to cause distractions, the only interesting thing was the encounter when you disguise as the owner and fight them with the shotgun or when the sniper tries to get you

The real reason Ghost Mode (and sniper co-op) was shut down was because the EG launcher doesn’t support the framework steam used for the multiplayer modes, and ioi didn’t feel like developing a work around for the epic games version.

To me, Apex Predator feels like what Absolution should have been. Agents are attempting to hunt you, but the problem is: you're not trapped in the level with them, they're trapped in the level with you.

[@VandalCabbage]

Yeah, the Hitman WOA Trilogy as a whole are some of my favorite games of the 8th generation. Level design is intricate and some of the best in the industry and the AI (while not necessarily smart) is some of the most dynamic. With that said, hopefully for future titles they get rid of the need to be online for anything other than saving leaderboard scores or potential multiplayer modes. Great review!

[@Plushy-Guy]

Never had a internet problem with hitman 3... Because my internet went out the day it came out

[@michiganjack1337]

Yeah that persistent online check has been a problem since 2016 and it's just going to get worse, as you mentioned with the 1v1 and Sniper Co-Op modes have been removed it's going to be a nightmare for preservation. It kind of already is with the elusive contracts and the missing electric ICA phone. God I miss that thing. - Great video Critical. 🖖

[@Pal6283]

My favorite part about the hitman games is that it seems like there are only 2 npc voice actors, Spider-Man PS4 voice and generic British guy

[@joninfiction]

It’s a good think KZbin wasn’t around during PlayStation 1 era.

[@NerdorDieNews]

That being said. Dope review, always appreciate your stuff.

Nah Berlin is amazing and far more repalayble then Dartmoor

[@breadbread4199]

Yeah Dartmoor feels almost more linear than Romania, just because after the first time the murder mistery is more annoying than anything and you're just checking off a to-do list. In berlin you have many targets, which, in my view, justifies the many many layers of the map. It gives you more experimentation and IO doesn't hold your hand with the story missions. It also features cool easter eggs like challenges for the florida man, the ufo exit, the talking hippo and many ways to kill your target, as most of them are roamers. It's the perfect hitman map, only this time, you actually have to use all the things you've learned from the first 2 games. Dartmoor is dull and boring, berlin is fresh and creative. That being said, that is only my opinion.

I found the berlin level too dark and it was hard for me too focus. Thats why I like the Mendoza level

Been waiting for this all day I just found your channel yesterday and watched on your hitman reviews so the timing is perfect

[@Lamtitude]

That server connection lost thing is annoying! Lol

[@SubparLoki]

I think you either loved Berlin or hated it. I personally loved it, it was the one map where I didn’t feel like I was being cheap for not SA/SOing it. But yeah I booted it up like 3-4 times before I actually played it and quit bc it just was too complicated then.

[@xMadDonaldx]

I was really excited about this game but I am going to wait for them to sort out all the launch problems they had or wait for a sale

[@CazadorSixFour]

I was going through my old favorites list, and holy shit I used to watch you're old channel! I didn't even it you were the same person

[@spagetworm]

Watching this years after launch makes me glad I got patient and bought it just now

[@johnskywalker9334]

The Mendoza level on contracts mode was fixed after the game update but you can only load contracts created after the update.

[@thejenk4434]

Chongqing was probaly my lieast faveorite level in the whole trilogy i really didnt like that the hush guy has such a bland and boring target area and that he sits in his chair for 30 minutes and there werent alot of cool ways to kill your targets and the dongle thing was really anoyying

[@SOBEKCrocodileGod]

Yeah. The city was so cool but they just shoved it aside to go into grey and white laboratories

[@urlocalbeanboy]

12:25 Reminds me of the Paris-Nice, France mission in Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. It’s a cool mission, but just like you said about Hitman 3, as SC fans we both know it’s pretty linear.

[@Etherman7]

When I got this, the framerate just plummeted for no discernable reason all the time no matter what the settings were. I was really confused because I'd just gotten a new 2070 graphics card and it was just a terrible experience... until I unplugged a wireless mouse I'd been using and suddenly got silky 60fps at highest settings. So either it hated my motherboard/cpu or it REALLY hated old RAZR mouse inputs. Good times.

[@ChristiansCartoons]

The content transfer thing was so weird. On Xbox I had only bought Hitman 2 (but physically), but then Hitman 1 Gold was given away free with Xbox Live and that content came into 2. When 3 came out, none of my stuff transferred over at first but eventually 1's content showed up and I almost ended up buying the $100 pass for Hitman 2 through Hitman 3 just to be sure it would work, but then I was like wait, this should recognize DLC for 2, so I just bought the Gold upgrade through 2 for like $20 or $30 and got access to the same content that the $100 version would have gotten me. So crazy.

[@tigza.j777]

Watching this I’m so glad I got this in the beginning of December last year. I’d of been pissed all my progress gone.

[@LynxStarAuto]

The greatest remastering of a series imo. Loved the trio.
