Anybody else really like this game?

I thought it was amazing. As a fan of the Hitman franchise as I was very happy with the long wait in between games but it was well worth it. The production value was very impressive and gave me the sense of being involved as opposed to just playing like so many other games. The open ended missions gave you the option to go in and gun everybody down or be as stealthy as possible. I say as possible because playing stealthy is pretty challenging in the game.

You get a lot of game play with both time and things to do. With new challenges on ways to kill your target it gives you reason to go back and enjoy plaything the same map again. With the "contracts" gameplay you can create your own contracts and decide how to kill your targets then save them and challenge your friends or put them out there for everyone to try.

I will say that the inconsistent A.I. was noticeable but not so far off it ruins any game play. Also even though they were done very well there was a few too many cutscenes for me.

Overall I give the game a 9/10 and would recommend it to anybody who is on the fence.

I'm not really an Apple person (Bananas forever) but damn, that's kinda sad.

The guards you face are really stupid, to the point where they detract from the game.

It's still pretty fun though :)

Yeah the A.I. can be stupid but they can find you spot you pretty easy so I think that was to try and balance it out a bit.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Did you play on easy because they aren't stupid at all on Expert or on purist mode? Every little mistake I make they -blam!- notice it.

Hey wait a minute you haven't even played it yet.

OT: I am playing it right now. I like it.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Never played any Hitman games. My cousin owns Absolution and the last one, and he said I could borrow it because he completed it. Not really sure tho, Splinter Cell: Conviction really made me dislike stealth games.

Conviction was not about stealth. It was about the character going over the edge and not always following training.

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

God, I want that game.
