...so this game has ZERO REPLAY VALUE ?

[Mike_Crossbones]

Before you all go nuts on me and this thread, lets understand what "Replay Value" really means.

NO! It is not how often you can repeat a single level in different ways or different approaches.

It actaully means that once youre DONE with the game, you go back to it after months or years to REPLAY the whole game, or parts of it, either with harder difficulty, in different approaches or just the same way AGAIN because it was so much fun to solve missions.

Now i heard (havent checked yet!) that every progress you make in the game, all main-missions, side-missions you name it....all that is saved on the servers and once youre done 100% with the game or missions everything stays at 100%.

WTF?!?!? So lets pretend in 4 years id like to repeat the nice time i had with this game, then i start it again and start over with mission-stats 100/100 or 85/85 or whatever progress i completed the game with years ago ???

This is a joke right ? I already own the game, but if thats the case then i am going to get myself a pirated version (if its ever being released) to make sure i can start over with 0/100 missions once i feel like doing that.

....you know, something like a friggin MASTER-RESET option would have been nice.

Now some of you probably ask yourself "Is that guy a complete moron ? Why would someone want to start over again from zero ?"

...well sorry, all i can tell you is.....if you dont understand my point, then youre probably far too young to understand this and/or you have no clue what "nostalgic" means or why some people like to go back to play older games and prefer to start an older game with 0/100 progress and not with 100/100.

Oh, you mean like Contracts was a remake of Codename 47, but this time put in all the parts they left out of Contracts? The jungle—they left out the damned JUNGLE.

Yeah—they were actually BOXES! And they had MANUALS that you could HOLD IN YOUR HANDS and read! Operating systems, too, with big, thick manuals. Back when they stopped putting manuals in the boxes, I complained, and the then-kids (now "old farts" that are JUST as stupid) all started flaming that I was nuts and "what did I want something to READ for? Didn't I know that there was such a thing as the INTERNET?"

Oh, you mean world-wide computer networks that I was studying before there WAS a publicly-available one? Before CERN? Remember when we connected to other computer users BEFORE the internet using phone modems? Bulletin boards? Kids these days have NO idea how we've seen first-hand the computing and gaming industries change!

...floppy discs....code-wheels....track´n field and dozens of broken joysticks*....no patches...no bugs.....and install-routines where installing the game was sometimes more fun than playing the actual game itself.....or loading a game took longer than completing the game itself.

*has nothing to do with sex or any of it (info for the younger generation who, again, has no clue wtf i am talking about)

Speaking of floppy discs: The motherboards of modern computers have slots (internal connectors) for floppy disc drives…despite the fact manufacturers have not availed themselves of them for years, and that fact is testified to in the design of the cases, which no longer support those devices.

Hell, the last time I actually USED a floppy drive was in 2005.

...man...i think i am gonna install one of them old hitman games now!

AH!!! WAIT.....i probably know how to make those bastards here understand what my point is!

You see, i just got nostalgic and feel for playing the old hitman games again, no problem! i install any or all of them, and START THE HITMAN GAME FROM ZERO just like the first time playing it ever...

...now imagine you are probably in the same situation in the year 2026 and you want to play HITMAN 2016.....you will have a great time for sure starting the game over again with everything completed at 100%, thumbs up!!!!



....for some reason i think those brainwashed morons still dont understand wtf i am talking about.....

Dude, I stopped posting AT ALL six months because trolls wouldn't leave me alone, stalking me all over the net, they got so mad at what I was saying. I gave up trying to explain. Try to teach a pig how to whistle, and you'll just confuse and enrage the pig—he'll never learn to whistle.

....the 5 1/4 floppy-discs were cool.....you actually could have slit throats with them.

when i got angry at some game again (happened very often with the C64 games) i was sending the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ disc flyin through the room......i remember the walls......full of cuts from those sharp edgess!! i always wondered what probably would happen if i would throw it into someones face

There's a Gin Wigmore song line that applies here: "Everyone is doing it, so why the Hell should I?" (Black Sheep).

They think that because "everyone" does or believes whatever, then you're some kind of deviant if you don't parrot and unthinkingly regurgitate what they do. My mom put it this way: If they jump off a cliff, will you, too?

Lemmings and sheep.

Dude: What if you taped razor blades to them? I actually, um, yup, I've done that (not the razors!), thrown them at an idiot or two. Damn, but, they didn't bleed (only 'casue I didn't hit 'em in the face).

And no, I have no problem at all with violence—only willful morons and congenital idiots.

I remember the very first DVDs—but, you couldn't use them on personal computers, which were still mostly relying on 5.25" and 3.25" floppies for removeable media. These DVDs were as large as 33.5 RPM vynil records, and companies were using them to present training videos to new employees.

Heck, when I first began studying Computer Science at unversity in 1984, were were using Apple IIe computers as mainframe workstations on the VAX-VMS-11, and we didn't use mice—only keyboards. There was only a single directory for each user account, no subdirectories, and filenames were limited to six characters and the file extension.

And the VAX didn't have any games, either.

now i dont only remember....i also owned...LASERDISCS!

and when there was a rumour that there will be something better than laserdiscs, called "DVD" or something like that, i already knew i better start selling my complete laserdisc collection, and thats how history went....laserdisc was dead, just like vhs. betamax and v-2000, and now the dvd is dying and the blu-ray rules.....

......oh wait...blu-ray is already dead.....4K-blu-ray rules! ...no wait, i just remember an article where they say 4k-blu-ray is dead and lost it all to streaming services...

....this is just insane.

Well, here's the thing about Blu-Ray (and it's definitive proof that people are "Stupid, stupid, stupid): in COMPLETE contravention to the concept of user-friendliness, standard Blu-Ray players DO NOT OFFER MOUSE SUPPORT.

"They" are attempting to coerce the buying public to purchase dedicated hardware devices to play Blu-Ray DVD titles (movies), COMPLETELY ignoring the PC user market, PURPOSELY "ignoring" the fact that there is NO technical reason WHATSOEVER that one should not be able to view a Blu-Ray movie in EXACTLY the same fashion that one may watch traditional lo-def video titles on personal computers. Yours truly is NOT an utter idiot; I know EXACTLY the kind of code that would accomplish this absurdly simple task (it's NOT that gawdamned hard).

Long story short: I will NOT be bullied into buying UNNECESSARY technology, therefore, I will NOT buy Blu-Ray movies. See, here's the thing about this (and you'll see it's PERFECTLY logical): There is NOTHING divergently special about Blu-Ray movies on the application side, not a WHIT of difference, in fact. The technology is divergent from the mainstream ONLY in terms of how much complex data can be accurately stored and reproduced on the media. It is PRECICELY the same sort of difference between CD data and DVD data, how much information may be packed into a given amount of "space."

It's like telling consumers that if they want to drive cars that can travel faster than 200 miles per hour that they have to buy cars with engines powered by 1.21 Gigawatt nuclear power plants; it's utterly RIDICULOUS.

Check it out; applications enabling users to play Blu-Ray DVDs on PCs with mouse support is NON-EXISTENT. They want you to think that you have to buy a dedicated hardware device—besides a Blu-Ray drive—and Homie don't PLAY dat krap.

This was a wonderful review. This is a true gamer right here everyone. And if you can't agree or respect what he said, my guess is you entered the gaming world too late and there's no hope left for you.

i also dont buy them....i download them with share-hosters


i am probably switching topics too fast but that topic leads me to the friggin content-industry/mafia, when i remember back the good old days when you were oficially allowed to copy vhs-movies from the video-rental-stores for your own good or when we all were recording any new music hits directly from the radio and now they dont even want you do download certain youtube-musicvideos let alone download mp3s. i still dont get it why i am allowed to record any hit from the radio but not to download the same mp3...or did i miss something the last 20 years when it come to music/mp3s ?

Chill: Troll. 'Nuff said.

Knight of the Cross: I guess you haven't confronted the Nazis from ASCAP (the copyright thugs from American Society of Composers And Poets or some such drek). They go into bars where, for example, some poor shmuck is tending bar and playing a radio as he serves drinks, then tells him he's got to cough up a fat royalty check or go to prison, and then the bartender throws him out.

Recording radio play is not problematic…unless you try SELLING your radio mixes. Then the fascists in black come knocking on your door…but…that thing about [VHS rental] copyright infringement even without monetary gain being punishable by blah-blah-blah? If you're talking about before 1978, I was living in Germany at the time. I didn't return stateside until a few years after the war—wait!

You're from Austria. Sorry, dude—my bad; compyright laws are different in European countries.
