Does this game have a story ?

Or is it just running around and killing marks ?

It does have a story.

Sadly, story died with Hitman: Absolution as I saw you already played it. About this game it is, somehow, a prequel and it does not even focus on story... it's only pro is the gameplay. It is short and with a poor story but people play it anyways & says it is great, don't know why.

You're kidding, right? Hitman wasn't EVER been a short-through story like this disgusting puke Absolution. There was some small plot-related missions and cutscenes, but the only thing MUST be permanent in this franchise: 47th is a killer, hired by any rich person. He's making his way to the victim no matter what's going on. Dead body, no evidence, no suspects, NO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CRYING GIRLS AND FACEPALMS.

In other words you didn't actually pay attention to the story, because there is one and you are also wrong about when it takes place

The first location (the two ICA training facility) are a prequel to the franchise and take place before all other missions (with the exception of the escape from the asylum, which takes place before 47 joins the ICA. ~ these first 2 missions are 47 joining the ICA)

Once you get past those there is a montage of all the previous hitman games. The story arc for season 1 (starting in paris) begins 7 years after the events of Absolution, followed by all the other episodes in order

There is story cutscenese before and after every location all the way through Japan, and the final scene shows Diana and the repurcusions of what you just finished, along with hinting at things to come

technically not just any rich person. He works for the ICA, and Diana (his handler) chooses his contracts

if you've been following along Diana is the only one he trusts (both absolution and Hitman 2016 hammer that home pretty clearly)

if you need a "story" in this shi*tty inde cra*p, you have too buy all 3 seasons. But stupid fanboys eat this shi*t and no one of that dumba*ss kiddos plays HITMAN for "story".
Duh.
Silent Assassin has a good story. Blood Money has a good story. Absolution has a go... ok story. Hitman 2016 has no story at all just some random CGI with no any sence.

Without her explaining the lore, I wouldn't appreciate this franchise as much as I am right now.

Well I read a few lines here and there and it's enough for me to not read these kids and un-sub from thread lel. People have become way too toxic in this community... kids whining cause they did not like Absolution, or other because of how short and expensive is HITMAN 2016 (it actually is, I won't buy this crap).

I would really like to know what you mean by "her" and which lore, but I won't open your blog sorry...

You made a statement that was factually incorrect (that the game is a prequal), and that it had no story, all I did was correct you

That's hardly "toxic"

All of that was pretty obvious for anyone who finished every game without skipping cut scenes. That blogs just a summary of info that was made clear in each game

Define "toxic" because the only people that are "toxic" in this forum are people who dislikes this game for whatever reason.
The people who are defending are actually quite calm when it comes to arguing about these things.

If you want a real representation of the Hitman community, visit the Hitman Forum[www.hitmanforum.com] or the subreddit because most dedicated Hitman fans don't want to browse the Steam forum due to how it's infested with uninformative people.

It goes to show how very little you know about the game if you think it's short just because it has six episodes without realising that replayability is a big part of the game.

If you've been paying attention to the title of this thread and the context of what thread I was replying to, then it should be clear that I'm talking about the lore of Hitman.

Was it really clear though? I guess so but judging from the third introductory paragraph, the intention of that blog was to help people understand the games' plot whether they're struggling or believed that the series don't have story at all.
I just wanted to show that person that there is a story/lore in Hitman.

I wasn't trying to contradict you. You have a valid point: that blog serves the purppose of showing people (who weren't paying attention) that yes, there is a storyline to the entire franchise

I was just pointlessly commenting that for anyone who completed the series and watched all the cut scenes, that blog is just a summary of events.

I may have a habit of stating the obvious (mostly because I don't know what is obvious to other poeple)

There's barely a story in this one, and what it has is so confusing and badly presented, that the majority of people who plays this think it's a prequel.
