Hitman is a financial disaster

[DawnWarrior]

According to Steamspy Hitman the new episodes doesn't help at all to bring new customers. Nobody is buying Hitman just the people who already bought the first episode. Hitman is stuck at 200000 owners. I hope this will be a lesson for the future. You've almost destroyed Hitman franchise with this episodic sh.it. http://steamspy.com/app/236870

Well, i played Absolution and i liked it, really. But it s a different kind of gameplay.
I prefere this game here, despite the technical flaws.

[MarBl]

Was Absolution by any chance your first Hitman game?

[SpartanWolf]

Nope, i even played the first one a long time ago.
I liked the idea since the beginning. But it felt always a bit clumpsy to me in the execution until Blood Money.
But i still think Absolution was a good genre mix. A good game but not really a great Hitman game so to say.

To be fair, Hitman made the plummit into the abyss thanks to Absolution,
the new HITMAN is not that bad,
I really like it........................

Really don't get how they did not find the time to get a full title tough.
I mean its not like its hard to come up with a full name, make your vote:
-Hitman: Initiation
-Hitman: Square One
-Hitman: Proxy rising
-Hitman: Perfect operative
-Hitman: Countdown
-Hitman: DRM

Hitman: npc in a gazillion

Just to intimidate the player with unnecessary NPCs, sucking the juice off of one's machine.

Could not agree with you more. It was on par with stealth games of 2012, but light years behind the gripping gameplay of Blood Money, which is slightly over rated as a whole but it kind of deserves it.

[MarBl]

The pre blood money games are not at all clumsy once you sink a good few hours into them. Not perfect, but I would say precise over clumsy.

this is a fun and beautiful game why all the negative comments because its episodic? its kind of better that way if they would have released it all at once people would be saying, this sucks i finished the game in 2 days. to the makers of this game i think your doing a great job keep up the good work.

imo, Contracts is just as good, if not better than Blood Money. The disguise system isn't as forgiving as BM (which is good to me, as BM was a bit too easy in that area), but is still vastly superior to Silent Assassin's system. At the time of its release, I didn't think much of Contracts as much of it was rehashed Hitman 47 levels, but going back to it, I think it's just as good if not better than BM.

If I could get a version of Contracts that worked with proper wide screen and no UI or game clock bugs I would cream my pants

The game is kind of called HITMAN: World of Assassination dude

Nope, the official title is "Hitman(tm)"
"enter a world of assassination" is there slogan, its not part of the title.

Also, you are literally playing absolution as we speak XD No hate, alright stealth-action game outside the story, just suchhh a low point for Hitman games

I spend money on the game, so it would be stupid not to play it, I'm a collector freak when it comes to achievements/ingame collectibles, and I was literally just 2 achievements away from having them all, so it seemed like a waist not to just try to get them, now that I have those I will never have to play Absolution anymore.

Aside from that you also can't say I'm just a hater who never tried playing Absolution,
I actually beat it on every difficulty, and I hated every step of it,
(I'm starting to think testing video games would be the perfect job for me, I keep on playing even tough I hate every part of it)
as a game, Absolution is "oke" for that matter,
but it fails badly as a hitman game, both in story and gameplay.

as a easy example its like playing the entire pokemon series, and then suddonly you get to play a digimon game.

a small precentage will say its the best pokemon game they ever played, even tough the larger amount actually know's this is not a pokemon game, and its not a good game at that. (yeah blunt and crazy example, but its also a clear example)

200k pc only you mean?

best analogy ever, pokemon and digimon games, that's exactly how absolution was, sure it was a tealth game with disguises, but suddenly those disguises don't ean a thing without your instinct (digivice) hahaha

Good. This steaming pile of ♥♥♥♥ lost my interest a few days after it released. Now even after releasing the new episodes I have ZERO interest in going back to play. Should have waited and released a full game. People are fed up with this episodic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I wish I could have gotten a refund.

Then wait until it's finished, Mister "Private profile and probably played this game over 10 hours" Guy.
