Hitman kinda became the coolest, most unusual pop culture character. Doesn't yap and rely on insecurity based sarcasm, clean shaven, shows up on time, has skills/knows his job, dresses cool but not flashy and the only tattoo he has actually has a meaning. This is like the complete inverse of what's mainstream now. The dude is exceptional.

[@shieldinhand6586]

One of my favorite moments from 2016 Hitman was posing as a therapist in World of Tomorrow to kill Caruso. He’s laying on a couch with a pillow next to his head while you listen to him whine, and finally 47 is like, “is that why you killed your mother? Because she smothered you? She smothered you, so you smothered her…” and then you proceed to smother the shit out of him. My wife and I couldn’t stop laughing at the irony.

I hadn't thought about the Hitman series in a long time and had forgotten that I played all of these games. _From beginning to end._ Hitman was never a "play it for a while and lose interest" game; I always finished them. The open-world, free-form nature of the missions, the gritty realism of the game world, and the hypnotic soundtrack make this series a masterpiece. EDIT: Finished the video now. Looks like I was wrong to stop at Blood Money. Razor's convinced me: I need to pick up the rebooted series post haste.

Interesting fact about Hitman Blood Money. The first batch of the CD for the game wasn't a finished product, it installed the game alright, but it could not launch it you got an error code, you had go to the company's website and download a patch and install it in the correct folder after to get the game to work. This was personally the first time I ever experienced a "fix it after launch" type of game, to this day it still baffles me that no one checked if the actual game worked before ordering thousands (if not hundreds of thousands of copies of it) and then ship those to retail.

[@Serahpin]

On large projects where hundreds or thousands of things need to be done, sometimes simple things get overlooked. Often because people assume that is was checked by someone else, or that it already works. I'm not condoning their screw up, but I do sympathize with them. As long as they fix the issue promptly, that is.

[@Temuldjin]

@@Serahpin If I remember correctly, and i could be wrong here the fix was up at the website less than 7 days after launch day (where you could buy it from the retail stores) and they helped spread the info about the fix through a lot of interviews in the gaming media.

[@fraserking4747]

I’ll give IOI credit, not many companies/franchises could have come back from Hitman: Absolution like they did, but by god they did it. Hitman 3 is an absolute gem of a game, even with the shoddy VR implementation, and it has one of my favourite levels in Hitman history - Dartmoor. A grandiose map, a murder mystery subplot, and all of those potential paths to success? Sign me the FUCK up! Great retrospective, Razor.

[@thekeyandthegate4093]

Hitman reboot series is pretty fun and I love the variety in the missions, but actually trying to figure out how to play them is a massive pain in the ass. IOI has no clue how to implement their "play Hitman 1 and 2 in 3!" Without it requiring a fucking flow chart of what to buy, where to redeem what, what has which content, and where to differentiate between physical and digital copies of stuff. And the DLC varies in quality from "pretty fun mission" to "this is a complete waste of money". I miss when you bought a game and it was just a game. Self contained. I can't even imagine how stupid this series will age when the digital storefronts are down unless down the line, they make a Hitman Reboot Trilogy, all under one package with all the DLC.

They're willing to interact with fans and listen.

Blood Money is still one of my favorite games of all time. And while I like the new ones, nothing is as memorable as the missions from Blood Money. Even after all these years, I guarantee you I can map out every single mission with 100% accuracy. It was level design perfection. And to me still has the most memorable kills from any game. Swapping the gun in the opera house, shooting out the hot tub at Christmas party, dropping a piano on a guy in a bird costume during mardi gras. And what really made it the best is that you had to figure it all out for yourself. There was no going onto youtube to find the best paths and traps or to figure out what the hell to do with the rat poison. You had to just play the game and figure it out. That made every kill so much more satisfying. And of course its still fun even when you screw up because you can bring an absurd amount of firepower with you to mow everyone down once stealth fails. I will always miss my completely over the top M4 with double drum mags, that is completely silent, but shoots massive WMD level bullets. When you can go from super serious stealth to completely ridiculous carnage in one second you got something special.

I've been hearing you sing the praises of Hitman for about as long as I've been watching you Razor, but this retrospective has got me itching to play the whole series now. Your retrospectives are usually my favorite works of yours, because for all your good humor, I like to see you delve into the more nitty gritty of what makes a game tick, because I think you have a good mind for it. And I enjoy the way you sum up the course of a series without going full video essay and getting too bogged down in details, even if sometimes it can feel a bit too brusque sometimes. It's especially heartening to hear that Hitman 3 is one of the most stellar entries in the series, really gives me hope for iOI and their 007 game. Also, it's funny that you mention that The Hitman Trilogy has a unified menu, because if you've been paying attention to other games, everything from Call of Duty to Battlefield has a combined menu now, so at least Hitman can join the long series of games that have had their innovations pilfered and spoiled by modern gaming lol.

[@joeytunney5476]

Great video! I’m pretty much 100% in agreement with your opinions. Just a couple things I noticed and wanted to point out, elusive targets were introduced in the 2016 game, so they have been around since the start of the trilogy. Also, Co-op Sniper Assassin was not in Hitman 3, Hitman 2’s Sniper levels were playable in 3, but not in 2 player mode. Lastly, I don’t think Hitman 2 had a progression carryover from the previous entry, Hitman 3 did (and it was convoluted as hell) but I don’t think 2 did; however, there’s a chance I’m wrong on that last one, that’s just what I remember. I love your retrospectives and cannot wait to see more!

[@ScarletKing9697]

I got not long ago into the hitman series and started with the older titles which was a good choice since I was willing to give More Time and chance to older titles than the average modern player, since Lotta newcomers from woa can't stand the jank of Older games, I really liked contracts and blood money, I had fun with h2sa but.. Ohh boy that game degenerates into a sliding simulator, and c47 Was... Interesting, absolution is the only one I truly hated, woa have the best social stealth mechanics and has probably the most in depth lvl design, although I still prefer contracts and blood money as Far their mood and style/atmosphere, woa feels like James bond fantasy and I do miss the gritiness of Older titles, Beldingford manor might be ma fav lvl in the og series, the amount of options as far assassination methods, disguises, infeltration, is nuts for a game as early as contracts, this was the best retrospective I've seen despite being short, Lotta of these long ass lame videos are filled with awful takes, have barely seen any good retrospective on contracts

So if I took your .45 away from you and gave you a 9mm with twice as much ammunition in the magazine as the .45, you’d choose nothing? *Siiiiiiiick*

Been waiting for this for about 6 years.

I watched my friend play Silent Assassin, Contracts, and Blood Money growing up and got invested into the series growing up. But my first played game was Absolution and I immediately dropped it. Didn’t feel or even look the same. I’m now convinced that I need to go back and pick this series back up again. Thanks Razor.

He did fail to mention some downsides about the latest trilogy, always online DRM. Epic Game Store (Tencent) exclusive controversy, so on.

“What do you remember from Razorfist’s new video?” “It’s time to go watch some Traci Lords videos….for nostalgia.”

[@salehmg7650]

Right on Razor, perfect timing for me to pick it up . It's on sale

[@ChazDragoon]

I was thinking of the infamous "homing briefcase" during the credits....and lo and behold, that's the post-credits scene. Well played, sir.

Agent 47 is still getting plenty of work. Boeing pays really well.

Finally! I’ve been waiting for a retrospective on this series. Thank you, razor!

The original hitman had some serious problems but was still fun. 2 through blood money were pure gold.

[@KnjazNazrath]

Remember: Never forgive FromSoft for turnin' what was gonna be a new Tenchu game into Sekiro because of Activision. They had their chance, and they went with Gorge R. R. McDonalds instead.

[@MetalHead1310]

Holy shit, David Bateson looks just like 47 too.

[@benrechakiewicz3594]

Hitman blood money was the first game I bought on my 360 and was not disappointed brilliant game.

[@Kinos141]

I did love how Hitman 2 added more logic that wasn't in Hitman one, like hiding in bushes was not in the first game. However, it was in the second game, and therefore the first one. That's freaking ingenious!!

[@loneboy1237]

About time for that retrospective

Silent assassin is what hooked me on stealth games, and is the measuring stick I use to judge every other game with stealth mechanics.

[@HotRossBuns]

As it should be. He did fail to mention some downsides about the latest trilogy, always online DRM. Epic Game Store (Tencent) exclusive controversy, so on.

[@femsplainer]

Loved it from start to finish, but that outro was the best part. Haven't laughed that hard since Canada was still considered a free state.

[@reaverofjillsandwiches]

Love the inclusion of the Ambush song at the start.

[@HoChiMints2007]

The World of Assassination trilogy's "Mission Clear" theme is as iconic as Ave Maria
