Subject: I never knew Hitman Codename 47 was so hard...

Never make me angry. I am a Hitman and I can easily find you and take you out.

I never really played the first Hitman until now. I always played the 2nd one a lot and then the others too. I didn't really play the 1st one because I I don't find gaming with a keyboard comfortable.

But now that I am older and better I had to play the first one. But I never knew it was so hard.

The first few missions are okay, but "Say hello to my little friend" is just an eye stabber.

It's so difficult. But maybe that's because I hate the PC controls.

Have you ever played an old game and then found out it was bloody hard?

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

You hate the PC controls? Can't you literally rebind any key to any other key? I don't have the first Hitman, so maybe that feature isn't there?

I think he means the whole keyboard /mouse setup in general.

You could get a program like Xpadder and then use a ps3 or 360 controller.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

Maybe you're just used to playing easier newer games that hold your hand and such. It could happen.

Older games in general are usually more difficult though.

Lol so how does a hitman find out that it's hard being a hitman :P

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

I got the first and second in the sale and I just gave up on Codename 47. It's very unforgiving (no saves) and the controls are very clunky. Hitman 2 is pretty fun though.

On a related note, ******'s mom has really nice boobs, and it doesn't take much booze or encouragement to get her to let the puppies out of the pen...if you know what I mean...

LMAO

Yep, that's what I mean. Plus I play it on a very old pc. It plays fine but I have no internet access so I can't download that program.

When you have to restart the whole tutorial because you don't know that you can't kill the guy guarding the door (and you aren't told anything), it's a bit much.

I think so.

I sometimes can't headshot perfectly because my mouse is acting crazy and goes everywhere. :P

I don't suck though, I still do very good. I should because Hitman games are my most fav games.

But playing with a controller in my hand is easier for me than a keyboard. Still, it isn't unplayable for me, I get used to it. :)

This is a truly terrible signature.

Out of the series, i'd say it's the most difficult. Closely followed by Contracts.

Lol, when I got up in that elevator there's a guy in the room who sees you and screams while running towards you.

That scared me to death and I was in panic trying to choose a weapon. I just started so I didn't know the controls very good but luckily I picked a gun just in time and shot the bastard. Afterwards I took his clothes and the guard behind the cell door let me in and then I killed him, for the lolz.

Like I said. I play Hitman CN: 47 on my old laptop. It had internet before, but my adapter thing broke and I couldn't restore it somehow. But I don't mind. As long as I can play Hitman on it I'm fine.

I killed the first guy easily. Then I killed the second and couldn't get through.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

The Hitman franchise has pretty much gotten steadily easier as its progressed, yes.

That's a shame yes.. But therefor we can choose difficulties! :D

I got Codename 47 for $2.50 on Steam a few days ago. It is indeed pretty damn hard; took me dozens of trys on get past the last two Hong Kong levels, the first of quick I had to look up a walkthrough for. The second one was frustrating as all hell; that "no saves" thing is probably the games biggest flaw, it's a classic example of frustration-provocation over legitimate difficulty. But when I finally finished it it was very satisfying.

I am also currently stuck on "Say hello to my little friend." Getting onto the compound is easy; killing the main guy, getting across the compound to the bunker and then getting back to the airstrip is the hard part.

The problem I'm having is that every guard shoots me when they see me holding a gun. I'm not the only one holding a gun, what the hell!

That's why I try to kill Pablo and everyone else with the silenced gun since I can hide it in my pockets.

I've found when you're holding a gun other guards are holding (an AK, in my case), they don't shoot, but when holding an abnormal gun (silenced Beretta, in my case), they know you're an imposter.

Excellent coding or finicky glitching, I don't know which. Either way, killing everyone in the house is possible. The trick is doing so without dieing. I've managed even that, the REAL trouble for me has been crossing the compound with getting shot to death from every side.

This is my first Hitman game, I've assuming the others are more reasonable? Absolution certainly looks very good.

They even shoot me when I hold an AK.

But yeah, every Hitman game so far are incredibly amazing in my opinion! Not a single Hitman game has disappointed me. :)

It was $6.24 for Codename 47, Hitman 2 and Blood Money.
