Damn, Robert S Pearson has been hitting the gym between episodes. Last episode he could hardly lift the massive present, and yet this episode he was easily lifting and catching it
The intro theme brings a smile to my face every time. Thank you, Access! Also, Rob meandering around the office during the challenges remains the best part of these videos.
Love that every time we cut back to Rosie, she's just wandering round the mansion murdering random people. What's the betting she'll have platinumed Hitman 3 by the New Year?
@@SavepointHype i suggested this in one of the other videos. I’ve started to wonder though with all of TH-cam’s algorithms that it would potentially negatively effect the videos performance and analytics if there were junk minutes added on just for suspense.
The penalty for reloading was almost certainly too generous. It might have incentivised more careful (read: any degree of careful) gameplay if a fresh start wasn't basically a freebie. Charging directly at the target and immediately reloading is quicker than actually planning a proper Hitman takedown and then cleaning up would have been anyway, so it's no surprise they just did it every time. Dealing with the fallout of a botched hit (or potentially even four by the end) is a much heavier burden than just losing 1/45 of the allotted time. I'd have gone with three or maybe even five minutes per reload, even if they were closer to running out of time in the end than I was expecting based on the first three targets.
Yeah that's what I thought. You can easily burn more than one minute stalking a target properly, the reloads here became habitual rather than a last resort.
It would have been a far more stealthy challenge if Mr. Freeze was playing I’ll say that much. Love your guides Mr. Freeze. Watching Rosie play Hitman, or anyone else who has never played hitman for that matter, is a very strange combination of amusing and infuriating. Perfect example… Rob: “So it is in your interest to play as stealthily as possible and as carefully as possible. You are disguised as the detective which gives you uninterrupted free reign around most of the mansion.” Camera pans back to Rosie just starting the mission as she’s decided to completely ignore Rob’s advice which was provided in an effort to give her the best disguise possible, and already changed into another one whilst killing a non target asking “I’m allowed to kill this guy right?” 😂 It would have been amazing if she actually managed to use the exploding duck as a distraction to get the unicorn horn, then when she went to kill Alexa Carlisle the duck was gone from her inventory and she couldn’t win. That truly would have been hysterical, and it would have been the appropriate karma for her complete disregard for stealth in this challenge. Lol
@@PlayStationAccess is there such a thing as enjoying yourself too much though? Even if it involves some NPC murders or Gollum level coveting of crystal baubles? 😈
I love this series, but I also embrace the darkness in me and want Mr Robert S. Pearson to win, so I can't help but feel a bit angry after each win by the contestants this is truly a rollercoaster of emotions
The reason why Robert S. Pearson works as a great villain is the overconfidence in his masterfully crafted plans despite being easy enough to beat. He often gets defeated and still never gives up. Also, this challenge was clearly the perfect excuse to frame Dave as the owner of Rob's messy desk. What a villain!
This should become a monthly or quarterly series. I always love this and Rob is the perfect person to embody a super villain! He reminds me of Cortex (in human form) from Crash Bandicoot. Lol
Man, I am so glad I found this channel. Thanks to Oxbox for bringing me here. Because this Christmas Maze series has had me in stitches. Too funny. Keep up the fantastic work,
You keep giving them too much time, Rob. Plus, your penalties aren’t too harsh and they abuse it. At least remove 5 minutes from the time when they reload the save😂
Man, Rob coming up with all these games anad challenges, is really good! I enjoy it. The way he links Hitman to the office is a superb thinking! Thank you for the idea, Rob!! Really cool!
Robert totally gave this one up. The pressure really started rising when Rosie began to give in to Ash's violent temper btw, Dave was her good conscience and moral support - the moment he left, it was FULL ON RAGE for the girls. Highlights: Ash begging Robert S. Pearson for the last riddle, Robert's gollum impression and the unicorn horn shenanigans. What an episode!!
@@NormanReaddis "David's so distraught that there's 15' left and two targets to kill that he scurried away like a pathetic coward!" ...or something along those lines. I'm guessing he was like "aight my role is done here, nobody ever listens to the voice of reason".
you did the same thing last year: Gave them WAY to much time and freedom on it. It's Hitman, it should have been "Target, specific room, specific weapon, total stealth, all targets in one run. Reload? DO IT AGAIN!"
This challenge really was like Cluedo with the mansion too is just perfect, very well thought out! Love the music also really adds to the tension, that last target though 😅 close one! Well done to Rosie and team! 👍
Another fun video. Love Rob's frustration with them not playing the game how he intended and then inadvertently helping them win. Maybe Rob is setting them up for a difficulty spike later on?
I would love to do these challenges. These are one of the highlights of the Christmas Season. Ow Robert S Pearson you gave way to much hints and tips haha
Love how Robert S. Pearson couldn't help himself and was directing them how to be stealth at the end. Their crash and bash approach was infuriating to him!
As the game went on you could see Dave being less excited and even the the expression on his face change. I hope he is feeling better, the team needs all its members to defeat the evil Robert S. Pearson
Robert S Pearson's greatest enemies are not the contestants, but his urges to tell said contestants how games should be played.
You got me there -Robert S Pearson
@@musashi.miyamoyo *your own fault, for reading comments before watching the video
Robert cannot allow bad stealth gameplay. Gives him flashbacks to when he was once Christmas Snake :(
@@musashi.miyamoyo still your fault, you don't have to read it just because it shows!
(Now I'm just nitpicking to be annoying, Merry Xmas)
Robert S. Pearson spraying the perfume into the air and prancing through it is such an iconic move.
xD I need a gif of it. It's perfect
Robert S. does not use "perfume" he uses "cologne", as he is the pinnacle of manliness.
Delsin as the tree topper is some Stan Lee level cameo work, right there.
Damn, Robert S Pearson has been hitting the gym between episodes. Last episode he could hardly lift the massive present, and yet this episode he was easily lifting and catching it
It's amazing what a strict gym routine, combined with evil powers, can achieve
Robert S Pearson doesn't hit the gym, he level grinds.
Thought I was the only one that caught that!!🤣🤣🤣
Actually, he could lift it because he let Nathan out of the box... :P
My favorite parts are where Rob breaks character and is genuinely encouraging before berating himself for it
Or breaks character for a quick Gollum, he can't resist.
I have to say, I think Robert S Pearson outdid himself with the creativity of this challenge. Amazing idea and concept!
loving this Christmas tradition so much, increase the difficulty Robbert S. Person! Go for it lol.
This is so much fun! PlayStation Access always goes the extra mile for us! Thank you all, I can't wait to see tomorrow's challenge!
Thank you for watching and being a great part of our community, John!
The intro theme brings a smile to my face every time. Thank you, Access! Also, Rob meandering around the office during the challenges remains the best part of these videos.
Rob Pearson's love for the game and for giving hints is sabotaging Robert S Pearsons plans and I'm enjoying it so much. 😉
Two spirits, one good and one evil, vying for control of a single vessel. It's quite the internal battle!
@playstation access I would call that evil and chaotic battling each other
Rob's Gollum impression always brings a genuine smile to my face
Love that every time we cut back to Rosie, she's just wandering round the mansion murdering random people. What's the betting she'll have platinumed Hitman 3 by the New Year?
We don't want any more platinums for Rosie, thank you very much
I wouldn't be surprised if she did
3:26 Dave's joyful walk got me!😂😂
Who needs an office tour video when this Christmas maze episode basically became one as a bonus, great episodes so far can’t wait for tomorrow’s
That's what I thinking, myself. I always wanted to see around their office and I was able to witness that today.
I love that Rob put one of the dossiers at Dave's messy desk just to show he wasn't the messy one. 😂
Robs parental urges to help Rosie are conflicting with Robert S Pearsons urges to make them all suffer. So much fun to watch.
Rob’s Gollum impression will never not amaze me. Fantastic series as usual!
Maybe stealth challenges could have the timer go twice as fast when stealth is broken.
Been watching last years maze between episodes, the crash 50 lives one with Rosie was EPIC.
The Christmas Maze is making my work week better
26:56 That was a phenomenal Golem impression.
He's very good at Gollum. I wonder if Andy Serkis has heard his impression.
*Expectation* : someone with an aptitude for stealthy murders
*Reality* : SHE'S HERE THROW THE DUCK
God I love this team
I feel the length of the videos versus the time limits that Rob sets can be a bit of a giveaway as to whether the team wins the challenge or not.
There should be filler at the end to make each episode the same length. Something simple even, repeating Delsin dance gif.
I initially thought that but once they kept reloading and having time removed towards the end, I wasn't so sure.
@@SavepointHype i suggested this in one of the other videos. I’ve started to wonder though with all of TH-cam’s algorithms that it would potentially negatively effect the videos performance and analytics if there were junk minutes added on just for suspense.

"Without Alerting, and being discovered forces a reset" would have drastically changed the outcome, I agree with Mr Pearson
Rob does this “Rob S. Pearson” character REALLY well
If Robert S Pearson was Voldemort he would have guided Harry to all the Horcrux!
i love these ones where you see the office. I always imagined the list features were filmed in a bigger space!!
I literally waited on this popping up - love these. Robert S. Pearson is a God amongst men and Ash is a real-life angel.
Or demon depending on your point of view.
Not that I’m complaining about either description, mind you.
I really wish I was a contestant for this challenge 😏
So do I mate. So do I -Rob

Mr freeze, the man, the legend. Helped me through many Hitman predicaments. 😁👍🏻
You and me both! Actually, I'd love to be a contestant for the show.
Mr.Freeze, you are the one and only for Hitman challenges 🤩 You helped me loads of times. And I love Hitman so much.
Thank you 😊
I love Ash's "are you alright, mate" look aimed at Robert S Pearson during the outro
Rob is such an excellent villain.
Yes, he is - some would argue he enjoys the role a bit too much...
@@PlayStationAccess I'd say he could win an Oscar for the role, but I don't think he's acting. 🤔 Happy holidays to the whole team! 🎄 ❄️ ☃️

I love this style of video. I've watched you guys for a very long time and I genuinely enjoyed this more and more with each episode. Keep it up!
Hahaha, Ash with her "old man yells at Cloud" moment. Love it
So happy to have these to get through the last hours of the work day, Robs frustration *chef kiss*
I feel the second riddle is just to redeem his own name from the "Clean your desk, Rob!" episode
This should become a monthly or quarterly series. I always love this and Rob is the perfect person to embody a super villain! He reminds me of Cortex (in human form) from Crash Bandicoot. Lol
Best bit about all of these videos… to see the patient gamer once again. Hope he had a very lovely Christmas and New Year. The rest too.
When I saw what map they were on, I was like "He's going to have the unicorn horn as a murder implement. I know it."
Ash leaning over Rosie's shoulder for most of the challenge like a hauntind ghost is really apt for her entire persona. Spooooky Ash.
This was the best Christmas Maze episode so far. Very fun to watch. Rob's chalanges are really fun to watch
Really love the Delsin Rodent-tree top-ornament! :D And also love the Christmas Maze!
"Thats upstairs you've" for a split second I thought Dave was gonna swear 🤣
Hope Dave feels better again soon!
Right soon
I'm playing catch up on everything Playstation Access, is Dave ill? I hope it's not too serious.
@MadAlice no, he was just feeling poorly during one of the games, but he was back the next day! 😊
Man, I am so glad I found this channel. Thanks to Oxbox for bringing me here.

"She can take a punch to the face."
Best/Funniest thing I've heard in days.
Man, Rob coming up with all these games anad challenges, is really good! I enjoy it. The way he links Hitman to the office is a superb thinking! Thank you for the idea, Rob!! Really cool!
I can still hear Nathan saying i'm the elf !
I wonder if the Elf will make an appearance in a later video....I sure hope so!
Robert S Pearson was far too kind in this challenge xD
Shoutout to Dan for his wonderful work and pacience to deal with Robert S. Pearson's shenanigans
I love how Rob has become Robert "Hand-Holding" Pearson! He'll never win at this rate.
This is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite Christmas traditions.
This scavenger hunt was a lot harder than Rosie and Elle’s yakuza hunt 😂
Rosie saying she can take a punch to the face made me lol 😂
I hope Dave's ok
Dave's absence was felt, but this was still bloody brilliant
"She can take a punch to the face" this phrase wins the prize
Robert totally gave this one up. The pressure really started rising when Rosie began to give in to Ash's violent temper btw, Dave was her good conscience and moral support - the moment he left, it was FULL ON RAGE for the girls.
Highlights: Ash begging Robert S. Pearson for the last riddle, Robert's gollum impression and the unicorn horn shenanigans. What an episode!!
What happened to Dave?
@@NormanReaddis He left near the 15' mark, cue 28:18.
@@saterdei i saw it but i can't make out what Robert S Pearson was whispering.
My speaker is too low even at maximum.
@@NormanReaddis "David's so distraught that there's 15' left and two targets to kill that he scurried away like a pathetic coward!" ...or something along those lines. I'm guessing he was like "aight my role is done here, nobody ever listens to the voice of reason".
@@saterdei i don't think that's the reason why he left for real tho.
I think he has something to do, that needs to leave the office or something.
I can feel Robs pain of people just not caring about stealth and just going head trough brick wall until one of them collapses
I love Robert S Pearsons character arc of villainous mastermind to anti-hero in this one, helping the heroes
Rob, you’re having way too much fun here, and I love it!
Your announcer voice reminds me of Borderlands for some reason.
Every time I see Rob like this I think he's about to reveal the secret ingredient for an episode of Iron Chef haha
I really appreciate the intricate structure of this challenge.
"YOU'VE RUINED THE ESSENCE OF HITMAN" 😂😂
These PlayStation Access Christmas challenges are always the perfect gift!
you did the same thing last year: Gave them WAY to much time and freedom on it. It's Hitman, it should have been "Target, specific room, specific weapon, total stealth, all targets in one run. Reload? DO IT AGAIN!"
Yeah it feels wrong to play Hitman in this way!
Poor Rob... Sorry, Robert S. Pearson... He is visibly in pain watching Rosie 'stealth,' and it's beautiful.
The way he helped at the end... I feel like Robert S. Pearson's heart grew three sizes this day.
I knew right away where the Unicorn horn was 😂 I clearly played too much Hitman. But I loooove it so much.
Love the challenge Robert S. Pearson 👍
This is so uncanny! It's a tradition for us to play a few board games as a family on Christmas week and we just got finished playing Cluedo!
Me: Sprays cologne on self *Drake No*
Robert S Pearson: Sprays cologne into the air and walks into it *Drake Yes*
S-s-s-sure, sure, s-s-sure!!! -Ash’s words of wisdom
Listening to the intro to this just makes me think of Nath - "I'm the elf" 🤣
This challenge really was like Cluedo with the mansion too is just perfect, very well thought out! Love the music also really adds to the tension, that last target though 😅 close one! Well done to Rosie and team! 👍
Another fun video. Love Rob's frustration with them not playing the game how he intended and then inadvertently helping them win. Maybe Rob is setting them up for a difficulty spike later on?
Explosive duck you say, Ah the Mike Channel method.
Ya gotta appreciate how much work goes into this sort of thing.

Rosie and Dave have such a big brother, little sister dynamic.
Love how Robert S. Pearson couldn't help himself and was directing them how to be stealth at the end. Their crash and bash approach was infuriating to him!
Rob’s got some mad super villain vibes going on and I love it!
ROB STOP HELPING THEM!!!!
YESS PLEASE
Dan running behind Ash with the Camera like its a episode of Mauri & she just heard " you are not the father" lmao!
Come on Robert S Pearson don't let them get away with it, it's redemption time.
Me while watching " why are you helping Rob? why did you help? If you had not helped I think that they would have failed."
This one is really clever! I like the thought that’s gone into the challenges
Dang! How much for one of those ps5's on the floor at 4:16 lol. Great video guys I love the Christmas series every year! Keep upnthe great work!
" I don´t know why i bother setting stealth challenges, i really don´t" every video game developer ever.
I loved the timing when the theme song ended right before the last kill..
As the game went on you could see Dave being less excited and even the the expression on his face change. I hope he is feeling better, the team needs all its members to defeat the evil Robert S. Pearson
Also, I would like to see Ash take the opposition host role sometimes, because her evil voice is SO GOOD, and compliments Robert S. Pearson.
You're a very good sport Rob, absolutely loved everything you did in this! Funny, fair, competitive. Yes the team won but you were 10/10 😍
I was hoping the game would be dishonoured, but I never knew how badly I needed to see Rosie play hitman
Robert S Pearson telling them how to complete the challenge
Robert S Pearson fuming that they've completed yet another challenge 😂
Anyone else adding “I’m the elf!” During the intro? Just me?
The thumbnail for the video should have read "How not to be stealthy. A correspondence course brought to you by Rosie and Ash."
If this keeps up, Robert S Pearson is going to lose his membership to the Guild of Calamitous Intent.
