Hitman:Absolution

Post by Forlorn Drifter »

Another assassination game I'm interested in. Most of us know or have at least seen something from one game in the series, and I hope this game can take the series to a new level.

I also found it interesting how they are doing their pre order bonus. In this case, I'm somewhat more happy with it, as one could cancel their pre order after getting the code. Very interesting....

As long as it doesn't end up being dumbed down. I expect nothing less than a punishingly hard hitman simulator. I loved the first game and 2 but I haven't actually beat either of them. I'll get to it one day. :lol:

I've been looking forward to it since the first trailer. I really enjoyed Blood Money and the series in general. 8)

Why don't you like small font? Do you have bad eyes?

Wouldn't be Hitman if it was easy.

Half the fun is the insane amount of tension. Though to be fair, it's been years since I've played the first one, and something tells me it hasn't aged as well as the second one has.

Haven't played any of them myself, but I've been hearing that the first one has aged kinda poorly.

Also, I probably ought to fix the fact I haven't played any of them. Somehow I just don't seem to come across the PC versions in the wild.

I didn't try playing it at 600x480, but at whatever resolution I was playing at the text was nigh unreadable. Which made actually knowing the mission objectives kind of hard.

The second one is on GoG 10 bucks (first one is 5).

If you're not opposed to DRM-Free digital downloads that's always an option.
