blood money still stands out to me as one of my favourite games off all time

[@jmaster4941]

Having recently finished Blood Money on Switch as my first Hitman game, I am absolutely in love with this series now and can't wait to play more Hitman games!

[@blazzinga595]

This game marked my childhood.

[@AadetTube]

This was a great piece of content, a shame so few have watched this.

[@TallTapper]

im blooding the money so hard rn

[@JohnSmith-fs8bu]

Who up agenting they 47 rn

[@mitchie2267]

The WOA games are some of the only new games that I actually found fun. I think they are faithful reinterpretations of the originals.

[@Arcanynes_Corner]

I just found this. You're a joy to watch and are really funny! Hope you keep at the grind and make more videos! Good job brother

[@user-ge3gq8qy3b]

You forgot to mention that the more you wild out on mission the more known you become, thus making you easily detectable by guards (if you weren't wearing a disguise)

[@Louis_M2k1]

This is underrated. New supscribe here 👏

[@hcohic9884]

top 10 games ever and i played countless games. from the start menu you can tell the atmosphere of this game it had the minimalistic digital dystopian future aesthetic like you are using strictly effecient high tech which matches the stoic cold almost machine like nature of agent47 mix that with the religious music that gives soul to the husk . mechanically the slow animations and walking speed of agent 47 fits the grounded pace and level design because it immerses you in the role of a classy assasin trying to assassinate someone in a social setting without getting noticed or leaving any trace behind , this is how the game should be played and the secret 'real '' hard difficulty '' intentionally designed to be self imposed by the players while the menus difficulty is just surface level since players can brute force any level with the amount of tools and weapons available and this freedom is what makes this game so fun and replayable . these small levels are puzzles that can be solved in countless solutions because of the many routes and interactivity of tools and elements between eachother .and when it all clicks while that perfectly fitting music is playing its hard to find a game as moody atmospheric and immerive even modern games with fancy graphics cant match that. its not just the reactive AI and creative tools and but also the little touches of real artists with a vision like the characters design and slow pace and last breath slow motion or the news paper and weapon design ..ect i can go all day. finally my biggest gripe about this game is that it wasnt long enough not even long enough for notoriety system to be relevent . in my first playthrough by the time i reached the last mission i thought i wasnt even 1/4 far into the game . right when i was starting having fun it abruptly ended just like all masterpieces but ill always choose quality over quantity.

[@ghack8274]

Honestly i want another game exactly just like blood money same gameplay yet new maps i don't even care abt the graphics i jus wanna see another game jus like this

[@alessiodibella2003]

I would go crazy for a Blood Money expansion pack. Very same game, just new and well-done levels. They should make a system so that the fans themselves can create new levels and upload them on a server so others can download them, with the support of graphic modelers, artists, programmers etc., and a rating system that highlights the most appreciated levels so you know which are the better ones to download. I think a lot of gamers would gladly spend money on something like that.

He has returned... 🥲

Hitman blood money is what got me into the series its a good game with a few flaws

[@isakyttervoll6034]

Can you rank all the game missions in a video

[@maydaymemer4660]

Good video. I have to say you got some details wrong on the story, for example the rival Agency is called The Franchise which is trying to install one of their members into the white house to ban cloning to get a monopoly on selling it. Cayne is only former FBI, and as he narrates the game he embellishes the story to make 47 look more evil or less competent. For example saying in the Murder of Crows mission he was trying to assassinate the politician the Franchise was actually gunning. This just supports your point tho that the story isnt all that rememberable I do prefer the new games just marginally because theres so much more to do, but Blood Money is excellent because its not just a lesser sandbox. Each level always has at least three ways to do something, three entry points into an area, three disguises you can use. So it doesnt pale in comparison to the new games because its just as dense but with more manageable levels. A detail I just recently found is that in A Vintage Year you can climb a truck onto the roof and then drop down to find a smoking wine worker for an easy disguise. Its also a game that benefits from playing it as a sandbox. For example a kill you might like in A House of Cards is if you go to the blond guy’s room you can store a bomb in his briefcase then when he meets the sheikh you can use that to blow them both up

[@NorthonBruce]

Is it a clip of the SH:1's intro music right in the beginning of the video? I swear, it must be it.

You have to press the analogs in, it caught me out! Also be prepared for a massive shootout 😂

[@Ycuk1989]

I know what you mean. That why I'm trying to make my own game.

[@leonst.7471]

That video was quite ok lot´s of these let´s call it "essay/rambling" channels are blowing up I believe you have what it takes to blow up you just need your YT recommendation moment.

[@Danka0199]

Thanks a lot!!!

[@1marcelfilms]

Nah this is too good. For one of those channels you need 100% stock footage, drawn out AI scripts and AI voice. 0 effort required.

[@alexandernadem4133]

Best Hitman 🎉

[@leobuscaglia5576]

I don't like the episodic format of Hitman games nowadays. Instead of one mission on a gigantic map they should be doing a number of missions with a wide variety of smaller sandbox maps like in the past. It's the variety of missions that keep the Hitman games fresh and fun.

[@Danka0199]

I like the new hitman games at all but the levels are so big and long, I end up playing one level and then don't touch the game for weeks.

[@vmx23]

They have absolution for lazy players like you

[@redhood7778]

Why? Also, it's not really episodic. The game is done.

[@leobuscaglia5576]

@@redhood7778 The levels are too big. Smaller levels and more missions would be great. Like Blood Money.

[@IZA_Grey]

Have you played the recent games? They have huge maps but they can be played quickly depending on your style. It's not too different from the previous games except the levels are more expansive. They haven't ruined the series or gameplay. Relax

[@ramidolfin7999]

Greatest game of all time, truly genius

[@BitterwindSE]

Haven't seen the clip. But... awkward control for basic movements, like opening a door, climbing a ladder is far from gold standard...

[@dbenz16]

Ever heard of a little franchise called resident evil ? Yeah that’s been their thing since the beginning. Still fun
