That Epic bribe money wasn't used for offline functionality, apparently.

Please try it and then lets talk about it.

Also this is a general statement: People who defend the always online crap are soo weird. Especially since Hitman 3 has a chronic problem of losing connection, which Hitman 2 doesn't have as much. It may take 5 seconds to reconnect, but it takes you out of the game for 5 seconds every 10 minutes and it sucks.

They are either shills or just kindergarten dropouts.

Or they can afford good Internet/live in a region with good Internet.

And it helps against piracy.

As a person who started Hitman career with pirated version, I can certainly say that it doesn't help, you can go through the whole game without any problem whatsoever lmao

Only thing you miss which only shortens the fun with the game is the fact that you are locked away from challenges, but I believe not everyone is going to 100% the game and just want to experience the gameplay/story

So nope, as much as I know people want to give an excuse to the online being there, it's not preventing pirates from enjoying the game whatsoever, similiar to The Sims 4 actually, you won't be able to see player creations, but if you are creative enough, you will have fun free of charge

But I digress, buy the game, seriously, even for the sake of dropping few dollars to devs pocket since now you get most of the Hitman content in a price of one game which is fair and worth it And if you are smart enough, key shops offer the game for such low prices it's almost a steal

This is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ way of defending your point. I live in the Netherlands and its considered one of the best "connected" countries and still drop out of the game every time. This is not just my conclusion. A connection requires both ends to be operational, and sadly its a fact that IOI cant keep their part up.

Soo, kindergarten dropout? Because normally people realize that "not minding the terrible ♥♥♥♥" does not warrant "I don't mind the smell then I have to defend the terrible ♥♥♥♥."

I'm not defending anything. If the problem is there, okay, I don't have it, though, so it's not "everyone" who is struggling with keeping the game online.

Looks more like you are the Kindergarten dropout. Where did I say that your problem doesn't exist?

You are implying that people who don't have good internet ( or live in a good region ) experience these issues, and if they do they should "fix their internet". That is just flat out wrong and doesn't make any sense at all.

Ok, I give up. Tell me, what is wrong with you? If you don't defend it, what are you doing here making meaningless comments. Are you the regular clown of this town?

They're only meaningless because you think they are. You only care about what you say, there's only your options, not any others.
And you want to tell me that I am the problem?

That should be the least problem these days.

I have and I can play real online games without a problem

BUT
Hitman have, for me and a lot others, problems to get connected to the server sometimes it need minutes youst to get in the game (and sometimes even this don't work), I have nearly in every single mission at least 1 interruption by an "connecting to server" window

this are the problems and I can play real online games without any problem thats the problem
you can start Hitman offline but it make no sense at all because on one hand you just can play the Story but without any Mastery progression and on the other hand everything else is not available

and sorry this just sucks it makes a very great game very bad

It's believed to be linked to the egs bribe. You don't screw your bribers, right ?
Happens every 60 mins.

Never acknowledged by ioi and no solution in sight.

One silly thing I often think about is why it's not exactly one hour. From a technical point of view.
I sometimes get the reconnect popup after 57 minutes, sometimes after 1:02 and so on. It's not a perfect one hour.

Well, I haven't timed it, like you possibly did, but it's not random, and kind of spot on 60 minutes ISH.
Maybe they added some random noise to the 60 minutes baseline in order to make it difficult to spot as a timer ...

I know I've done that kind of random noise stuff to cope with employers asking for non copy/paste timesheets that would always land on 40 hours per week, strictly. Lol, memories ...

Project Peacock is working on tricking your pc into being it's own server so you can play long after ioi shuts them down. Plus side, everything is unlocked.
