Hi dad

[@UncleJaken]

Neat to see you watch Bunnyhop, I agreed with what you had to say about the game. A new level in Hitman is leagues more substantial than new additions of most yearly releases. Hell, it's more substantial than a lot of new IPs altogether

[@fearedjames]

I have insisted on playing every level on hard first, with no guide or any idea how to progress, which means no objective assistance. I'm still on Hitman 1 with over 60 hours in the game, but my god does it show off how unbelievably meaty each level is.

[@GreenEyedDazzler]

If you’re going for SA there sadly is not much to do compared to Blood Money, just check out Kotti he’s an actual Hitman KZbinr and streamer

[@PinkManGuy]

What people like that are basically saying is "I played the on-rails story mission and nothing else because the rest of the content wasn't spoonfed to me, this game has nothing to offer." Now if they made the critique that a lot of the items have one of five properties: Blunt, sharp, bullet, poison, or explosive, I'd be inclined to agree. In that sense, there are very few items to experiment with because they all operate exactly the same aside from maybe a contextual interaction in the environment. That's my biggest issue with the games, but it clearly was not enough to stop me from playing for a minute short of 120 hours.

[@RyanArnold]

All hitman game are canon(there might be some retcons) but its sorta like the story serves as a reason to carry the gameplay. Even this new trilogy is in the same universe as Blood money and absolution and so on. During a cutscene in hitman (2016) we see his past Assassinations from the hitman games

[@davidguerrero941]

I knew this is what you were working on, George. For the record: This trilogy is a masterpiece and truly a game of the generation. This is a trilogy that prioritizes gameplay, and yet delivers against a spy-thriller backdrop that is thoroughly intriguing the entire way. Outstanding level design to provide thousands of hours of replay value. Michael Vogt and the writing team make every line of dialogue count. Every character, every asset, they all matter. They are interrelated and the cohesion is established flawlessly. Niels...your music hit it out of the park. Stealth game developers take note. This is how you execute the assassination simulator.

[@tuuudes3449]

I still think they should have stuck with the pure episodic release schedule. I paid the same price for all three games, but I got more out of Hitman 2016 because the episodic release schedule encouraged me to dive deep into the game mechanics. I would not have enjoyed the second and third games as much if I hadn't spent dozens of hours mastering the levels of the first game, and I only did that because of the episodic release schedule.

[@shadow_realm47]

Unfortunately people cribbed about it a lot but in hindsight they were doing the right thing. I was like a playable tv show back then.

[@BAGGStheAugmented]

As someone who was actually following the story through all three games I love that everyone else going through the trilogy again is finally able to spot the small details I’ve noticed going through all of the levels and cutscenes like how in the cutscene for the very first level in the trilogy they mention iago giving classified flight plans to the Delgado drug cartel who proceeded to shoot down the president’s plane and later down the line in one of the levels in hitman 2 where you have to take down the same previously mentioned drug cartel you can actually find the wreckage of that very plane.

[@AdamWieczorek-Swain]

Rewgarding the "always play on master" - I have a great tip for everyone looking for true, master difficulty level Hitman experience - switch off your entire HUD or parts of it. Since the 2016th release I have exclusively played without instinct, minimap, opportunities, weapon and tool HUD and some other tiny things. Game allows you to greatly influence what parts of HUD you see and I recommend disabling some of it so that you feel more immersed - it works miracles. From my experience, playing without HUD and instinct is infinitely more difficult than blank master difficulty - and once you're used to such gameplay, you see no difference between pro and master difficulty - except for single save file, which is basically never that important. Except for Colorado mission. Fuck Colorado.

[@Dionysus24779]

The "problem" with Master difficulty for me is that it makes exploration and knowing the level inside-out far less rewarding because it removes a lot of resources from levels (like key cards, free disguises, poisons, etc.) and adds guards in inconvenient places which simply makes things more tedious instead of more challenging imo. And not being able to get disguises by killing people in a bloody adds to that too. This also kind of feels antithetical to the whole "mission mastery" theme, at least when you come from the professional difficulty, because quite a bit of your knowledge of a level will become useless.

[@the_elder_gamer]

Thank you for the review George. As someone who hasn't ever really gelled with these new titles, you've renewed my interest, and because of this review and your recommendation I do eventually want to check the mega-trilogy out...when it's not tied to the online requirement.

[@KageNinjaMC]

Considering IOI is self-published now, and Hitman has basically been their only child for the last decade... With all the love they've shown the franchise over the years, and especially the new trilogy-- When they get to the point of having to shut down the servers, I highly suspect they will release an update to make it compatible for offline only.

[@Dinosaur_Senior]

I finally got the third game on the ps5 along with the other two games through a sale, and playing through all of them is so much fun. This game really takes me back to when I was a kid playing Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory on my xbox, sneaking around and doing levels over and over again until I learn the craziest ways to beat the levels. Man can you all imagine if hitman had a spies vs mercs style multiplayer in this game? A team of four hitman with limited gear vs a team or five: 4 bodyguards armed to the teeth vs a vip target who has to reach a destination before they get whacked by the agents.

[@gabrielledebourg2487]

I got my PlayStation Wrapped yesterday and Hitman III stood as my number one game of 2021 and was the game of that year. I played the whole trilogy as a mega-game and it was just an amazing experience. Few games are as mechanically rewarding like this trilogy is. Whenever I hear people saying “but they’re so short, there’s only like 5 levels per game!” my answer is that they’re looking at it from the wrong direction, because it’s all about replaying, experimenting and discovering levels in a new way. It’s honestly more of a puzzle game than a stealth game.

[@WMan37]

the thing about the Master difficulty changes like "their hearing has been buffed only a teeny teeny bit" is that it prevents certain perfect timed maneuvers from being possible. when your going for that perfect speed run and you've memorized a particular "I slipped past that guard by the skin of my teeth" routine on Normal difficulty, it sometimes wont be possible on Master difficulty.

I'm _really_ starting to see why IO got the Bond license.

First person I've seen seriously praise the story!👍

The first two games in this Hitman trilogy were so damn good, Hitman 3 became the first western AAA game I preordered since Assassin's Creed 3 back in 2012.

"First couple were so good, I didn't care if 3 was bad" Don't preorder.

[@SpringdayAutumnmoon]

@@marciodr09 i uh... did care if 3 would be bad? i just had enough confidence to believe that not only would it be a wonderful time but also worth the $60 to play it at launch. idk how lenient egs is on refunds for preorders, but if hitman 3 disappointed, you know i would've asked for my money back.

Yes I absolutely love this trilogy. Such an interesting fusion of gameplay tropes and mechanics and level design that are like a metacommentary on videogames as a medium and a cathartic revenge simulator for the player against our 1% overlords. Great vid
