Most underrated gamming TH-camr ever, good job bro!!
silent assassin is my favourite and I still play it to this day such awesome game and nice work
Ever since I saw you'r Splinter Cell video I hoped you would do one for Hitman and it was worth the wait. And to answer you'r question about Tenchu, I didn't play every game in the series and it was a long time ago but from what I remember the first two are kind of like Codename 47, Good ideas but haven't aged all that well. Wrath of Heaven (the third one) is really good and it improved everything from the first two games, It's one of if not the best ninja games out there. The 4th one is more of the same from what I remember and I didn't play the rest of the series but I hear a lot of good thing about the last one(shadow assassins), could make for an interesting video.
The fuck?
Also for a sine tangent if anybody's interested of getting hit men 2016 well Xbox users is currently on gold for this month so it's be a good time to get it
47 being bald actually makes him less traceable, he can’t lose hair on the floor which is DNA. Also being so boney makes him lose less skin cells
b o n e y
Ah yes... the science...
Wow good observation
He can also disguise as any person with any haircut.
Fewer skin cells. Aside from that this is actually a really smart comment.
The one thing EVERY 47 fan has ever said: “ what did I do?!”
And “WHO THE HELL SAW ME”
95% of the time its just *WHAT*
"I need to use the bath room"
Am I the only one who never knew what the suspicion meter in contracts was trying to tell me
"OKAY RIGHT NO YEAH NO, CAN'T DO THAT. [LOAD]"
One thing I have realized is all targets make the same mistake: “can I have one moment without all of you guards following me around?” Every single time
To be fair though I can imagine it getting annoying having like 4 other ppl with you constantly. Definitely not something you would do when you think a hitman might be after you but still it’s a slight explanation
Its called gaining trust normally they start talking about private stuff no one can hear
@KTV 4U what are you talking about? My comment was about why targets send guards away my guy
@KTV 4U yeah what are you talking about?
@KTV 4U yeah what are you talking about?
Absolution was actually my first Hitman game. I went into it knowing nothing about it or the franchise. My mom and I had such a great time with it. While I know more now and realize it was not at all Hitman, it holds a special place in my heart.
I'm the exact same way, Absolution was my first game and it was so much fun, I had no idea it wasn't like the others.
While it isn't anything like the other Hitman games, I still think it's pretty fun
Hey I left almost the exact same comment a moment ago. Im actually pretty happy Id started with it since [apparently] we had no where to go but up
Exactly. My dad and I played it together and we loved it.
Is hitman for me.
I remember seeing Colorado in Hitman 2016 and thinking finally all the American voice acting will make sense but then almost everyone had a Cockney accent
Well most targets in this game all have the same details for security that’s why why the guards sound similar but you can here them talking about it
Yeah, it's that one guy with the thickest ass accent
@Fat Cat You're supposed to assume they aren't speaking English. We only hear it in English because it's from 47's perspective.
@@nelsonw.9483 Its weird though how literally nobody in the Paris level has a French accent and then in the Colorado level that actually takes place in America, they actually bothered to give the militia members Australian accents because theyre an Australian militia. It seems kinda backwards.
@@greybayles7955 Nobody in Paris had French accents because they weren't speaking English to begin with. They were most likely speaking fluent French. Whereas the Australians had accents because we heard it as it was without any 'translation'.
I just noticed that I watched this without moving for an hour.
Prince T same bro

Same XD
I’ve seen you before on TH-cam comment sections.

That’s the most fascinating thing I’ve ever heard. So fascinating in fact that I forgot to ask or care.
Blood Money's ending is one of the best endings in gaming. Not only is it good by itself, but also it's an ending only a game can have.
Well said
On PS2 you had to rotate the analog sticks to wake 47 up. I watched those credits roll by so many times before figuring that out.
blood money was awesome because the levels weren't linear and there were a zillion ways to get away with it
a true puzzle game disguised as combat with plenty of dark humor
Hell yeah. And where did he go as mr Johnson 😱
@@mcboomsauce7922 they were pretty small though... This game was quite tough on good ol' PS2. I guess it could've been solved with data streaming but I guess it's hard to do that and at the same time track every single NPC movements and actions constantly regardless of player's position (but oh my god they didn't reduce the npc density that much in murder of the crows on PS2, get that PS2 haters)
Blood Money is an incredible game. I remember managing to get a Silent Assassin rating on every mission on Professional difficulty. The game was punishing on Professional, but getting through a mission without raising any suspicion is so satisfying.
my issue with blood money is how easy it is to cheese through everything. you can complete all missions walking in plain sight with your suit dropping coins and get silent assassin rating
@@Lakarak wh-what? It's extremely hard to me, probably cuz blood money is my first hitman game but wherever I walk, guards keep looking at me so I could ultilize the coin, any tips?
I want the next games to make me actually feel like a cold blooded killer. In the new trilogy I felt like a spy killing bad people. I just don’t feel like a Hitman in this new trilogy.
@@donaldyeeter9842 wtf?
@@cheesuschrists I understand
And for your problem, you can actually easily fool the guards
Firstly, throwing a coin while they're looking at you is pointless, it just makes them a little suspicious about you and it wastes a lot of time
Throw when they're turned around or something, and they instantly go check what's wrong
Also, I would think Blood Money was hard as well until I got used to it, but then I realized its child's play after I installed Hitman 2 Silent Assassin
Why can't I sit through one 40 minute episode of a TV show, yet sat through a 1h game review and it flew by fast
I asked myself the same question 😅
Because nowadays tv shows are more than a garbage + all the commercials they are even worse.
Probably because you don’t enjoy it as much, otherwise time would fly past you.
You rack disciprine .
@@KaraokeNig you rack grammar
"I need to use the byaaathroom."
God, i love hitman 1 voice acting.
We got a sitSuation
The stereotypes in that game were hilarious.
"HE'S PACKING!!"
There was also that weird kiss, God, it even brough me shivers.
Kinda crazy he’s still played by the same guy after all these years.
26:42 Alec Baldwin approves
Honestly, I was hoping someone would pick up on it. A video that’s 2 years old 😂
My favorite part of silent assasin is the fact that any weapons you have on your person when you clear a level, will instantly be added to your shed. And in the shed, there are outlines of every single unlockable weapon in the game, so can easily tell what weapons you should keep an eye out for when playing levels!
Spoilers ahead lads! What out!
One of (if not THE) last levels has 47 arriving back at his home base, without any weapons, and the place is swarming with guards. My first playthrough I tried to struggle my way through and kill everyone on the map.
The second playthrough I realized "Oh shit, I have my _shed"_
The m4. Nuff said.
If I remember correctly, IOi stated that the original idea behind Blood Money’s newspaper was that if you killed the target with an accident and only killed the target, their death would be a minor side section in the papers. If you only killed the target but there were witnesses, they’d get a much larger section, and if you killed too many non-targets, your exploit would get front page. This seems like a neat system, especially for those who like to role play as 47.
I think the reason why Hitman is still alive is because of 47’s HUGE pockets
I see Preston had decided to leave the commonwealth
Diana Burnwood singing: *"MAKE HIS POCKETS HURT!"*
Dude he can hold 30 diffrent pistols in his pockets and still put more things in his pockets but he cant put a tomakawk in his pockets
unfortunately he has downgraded his pocket size for absolution
@@greenbin3028 no he upgraded his pocket size after absolution.
2006 was the year my mom bought my first PC. I remember her paying it off for almost three years.
The first game I played was Hitman Blood Money and will always have a special place in my life because it comes from a time in my life where my mom sacrificed a lot to keep me in the house and away from the local drug addict teens. I am grateful today
Is the game any good? I’m thinking of picking it up since there’s a massive discount on steam which offer the game for like $1
@@harolrvez7124 Blood Money is an awesome game. My favorite from the series.
The suspicion meter in Hitman 2 (the original) seems random because it differs per map. It's based upon a reasonable expectation of how likely it would be for someone to recognise that you're in disguise. For example, on the first map, the mafia all know each other, so they very quickly recognise you aren't one of them.
It is a bit of a frustrating mechanic sometimes, but it is not random.
The randomness aspect of it is how sometimes guards can blow your cover and sometimes not. Which the video clearly shows and that's what I remember from the level. It's the same for the first map. Not to hate on the game but, random it definitely was.
I think the big issue with the randomness is how Critical played it. I've read everywhere that playing the game at more than 60 fps (or just 60?) breaks the IA completely. I've just finished it yesterday for the first time on ps2 and the IA was mostly consistant, at least WAY more than on that video. Well... dare I say it's my favorite disguise IA in the entire series !
Copium aside.
Hitman 2 & Contracts used the same engine, which had obvious A.I. issues.
Episodic release of Hitman (2016) was demanded by Square Enix and not the decision of the studio.
One of the biggest issues with the game
@@A5tr0101 It doesn't help that technically HITMAN™ 2 is following the same structure, but says it's free initially. Other than that I love the game.
Episodic releases sucks, wasnt so bad with hitman 2
SE wants to do episodes now. So far the game has been nothing but quality so perhaps, making the games complete in sections is their method of quality control.
FFVII remake is episodic as well.
@@daoyang223 HITMAN 2 was made after Square Enix was cut off from IO Interactive.
>loves the game
>hates the always online
You a good dude.
@MR FREEZE-98 this is simply not true. Just play any Singleplayer that comes into your mind and you get the achievements even if you are offline (works with consoles & Steam).
The thing with Hitman 2016 and 2018 is that is actually locks you out of content (like Escalations etc) if you are offline which is completely insane...
so brave
@@ericschuster2680 They made it so that you can't enjoy the pirated version probably
@@davidmicleaa Well no shit Sherlock! 🙄
@MR FREEZE-98 which universe you living in?
Contracts is so underrated. The soundtrack and the athmosphere is a perfection. Its the darkest game in the series
I’ve always thought how 47 isn’t being recognized by federal agencies around the globe. He may commit murders while being hidden and using different disguises. But he always enters a location with the same suit. So he is always being seen as agent 47. At this point, there HAS to be a pattern established because a bald dude wearing a suit and a red tie is always present in places where someone has a weird accident, or mysteriously drowned, chocked, shot in the head.
Add his barcode to the equation and you will notice that 47 is really characteristic.
To be fair, most of his assignments are in high class places and bald dudes with sharp suits isn't a very rare sight in those places
Just in case you ever questioned if it's worth taking the time to create hour long videos like this: It's absolutely worth it. I really enjoy your longform retrospectives on game franchises. I hope you make more in the future!
Yeah, I liked the long format.
A video like this would be nice to watch about call of duty
especially for a longrunning stuffs like these, fans of the franchise would def love it
I dreamed of this when I saw your Splinter Cell video. Really glad you're a fan of it.
it is cool, but he forgot the one I hired to kill him a few weeks ago
I came here from one of the Splinter Cell videos too. God damn it I just spent 2 hours watching videos about video games! 😅
29:20 what's crazy is that Absolution was my first game I ever played in the series, but it really felt fun to me. Granted at the time I wasn't as analytical as I am today so I can see all these awful points still, but I do remember having such a fun time. I'm not sure if I'd be nostalgia blind if I ever touch it again.
yeah, this was probably the first m rated game i ever played. it was cool as a kid, but i played hitman 2016 a few years ago and man it was next level
Oh, I can definitely see it being a great game for someone who never played the series before
Same, it was my first and only Hitman I played. I think it's a very good game.
I played it recently after only playing blood money and i thought it was great and different more cinematic!
Hitman: Contracts came out when I was 13 years old and it was my first introduction to the Hitman series on a Playstation demo disc. Hitman: Blood Money was then released and I bought it day one on release, at this point I was a very heavy pot head but the immersion I got from that game was absolutely incredible. From playing Hitman I moved to Kane and Lynch and holy shit.. I loved the story move even though so many people hated it but the online multiplayer... I loved the concept of what they made from it so much. The difficulty of working together and then that split moment of the anxiety of working against either other was so unique..
Keep in mind that Hitman: Codename 47 was released in a time where pretty much ALL shooters games had hostile NPCs. Everyone you see is a foe, shoot on sight! And judging by the C47's guides and reviews over on GameFAQs, it confused a TON of people, apparently.
Now, isn't it something!
47 must’ve been even more terrifying during those days, a new and confused Agent 47, gunning down everyone he sees just desperately trying to find a target.
Codename 47 is not a "shooter game" and stealth games already existed by 2000. Deus Ex existed.
@@ThisBirdHasFlown while what you said is true, I think killing everything that moves was still quite a standard in 2000. Hell, Quake 3 was released just a year prior
"Agent 47 isn't very resilient" *Takes a rifle round to the back of the head like a tank and keeps going despite having a bullet probably wedged in his frontal lobe*
Actually, he is very resilient : he was made that way, as he inherited the DNA of five people - each with a particular attribute.
fuzzycatfur2008 yeah, but one time I walked through a water puddle I threw a phone in and died. That same game I got shot in the head by a sniper and kept on trucking along
He used invulnerability while capturing footage
47 isn’t too social anyway so the frontal lobe isn’t too important
@@greathoonta3461 game logic
Blood money was absolutely fantastic in my opinion. It was my first hitman game and I loved every bit of it!
And that ending is so damn nostalgic, they even made a reference to it in the recent hitman 2
In the Blood Money part, 47's dance moves is same as me whenever I have to be in a social environment and try to adapt other people
I remember it, like it was just yesterday. Secretly playing Blood Money, my first entry into the franchise, at night, selecting the flatline Mission and i asked myself: what happens, if every person died in an "accident"?
So i knocked everybody out, dragged them from across the map up to the second floor into the room with the globe on the first floor and threw those 44 bodies from the handrail onto the globe....
aaaand it paid off!
The Titel i received at the end was totally new to my eyes and was called "Versicherungsvertreter" (insurance agent). and due to the words lenght, the newspaper Picture glitched out, making the whole thing unreadable..... still got a memento pic on my nokia :3

Hitman World of Assassination trilogy is the closest thing to interactive movie we ever got.
We are in the control of the main character, have one goal and we can do whatever the heck we want to achieve it.
It's so shitty that you had to mute the c47 bit. That was one of my favourite bits. But overall, I loved this video.
I have to say, the Berlin mission (Apex Predator) in Hitman 3 (2021) with the default starting point is hands down my favorite mission in the entire Hitman franchise.
I love all the missions in the game. It’s a must buy
@@olivepizza2046 they are and it is, but having to actually hunt for your targets, with no support, it was by far my favorite mission next to the Marti Gra in Blood Money
@@Cheesefist I agree
I prefer the mission in China because it’s fucking beautiful

I've never played a hitman apart from hitman silent assassin years ago. I'm excited to try the hitman trilogy.
I just realized I’ve watched this for one hour, this super entertaining and I really liked your opinion. my personal favorite hitman game was blood money but I’ve found myself absolutely loving hitman 2016 especially the sapienza level
Ave Maria will be my one way ticket to nostalgia land. I loved Blood Money and still do.
It was in absolution too.
I remember hearing it playing on a TV and I quickly looked up because I thought it was a new Hitman game because that’s the only thing I associate with Ave Maria.
@@trashbrock2320 in blood money it had a meaning associated with a story
The newspapers in blood money also hinted at future missions in the side stories.
They also had some pretty funny side stories like "School Janitor burned to death"
The newspapers were something I really loved in Blood Money - it was like the icing on the cake, didn't make a big impact but it was cool the developers added it
Blood Money was also my favourite in the series, so to each their own
Robert Wave I agree except it has a huge impact for me personally. I would keep trying different ways to kill people in the same level to see how the newspaper would report differently. I fed everyone to the crocodiles on that crocodile level wish they would mention it. I really wished they would have expanded the newspaper reporting in the future game but instead they took it away. That was very disappointing for me...
Also some kane and lynch allusions if i remember right. Not that that game matters.
@Amadeus Eisenberg I've waited my whole life to hear those words and ascend.
Absolution being my first Hitman game is probably the reason the "caveman with stick" approach is my preferred way to play these games.
This was extremely thorough and even handed. It was a pleasure to see the links between the two games I have played in the series so far: Hitman 2, back before I stopped playing videogames, and Hitman 3, this year, after I started playing videogames again. Videogames are amazing these days.
My cousin had a copy of the demo of Silent Assassin, being the only one in my village to have kind of a... "computer." And he would occasionnally let me watch him playing that demo over and over again - which was the very first mission at the italian villa. Since then, I am in a serious relationship with the Hitman franchise.
same dude
we had a demo of 1st mission and the big party mission .
This demo got me into the series too
I liked it so much I downloaded the demo for the first game too while waiting for hitman 2 to come out.
Same, i have played invitation to a party mission hundreds of time.
Is this in India?
@@ashumanchauhan1410 yes I m from India
Jesper Kyd is so brilliant. Silent Assassin and Contracts had SUCH incredible atmosphere. Part of the reason I played those games dozens of times. God, I love this franchise.
Silent Assassin will always have a special place in my heart - I had the disk and installed it on my primary school computers. Got suspended for a few days but well worth it. I'd just sit at the start screen and listen to the intro music! The Danish National Orchestra did a symphony of the intro music by Jesper Kyd. Really hit me in the nostalgic feels.
Silent Assassin had the jankiest sneaking ever (being detected while disguised for no reason is why most of my missions went loud at some point) but it's definitely the one and only Hitman for me. Great story, amazing soundtrack and fun mission design.
He was always such a welcome addition to game music
Apocalypse is my favorite Jesper Kyd Hitman song, personally.
Or in Assassins Creed :)))))
Blood money was def one of my favorites. A major step up in terms of overall graphics. Beautiful artistic design.It felt sleek, sexy, but still gritty & raw. That angels & devils party stage. Absolute mastery. I did miss the classical music & European feel in Absolution. An unwelcome departure. Glad it's back on track.
What you said about contracts really resonates with me. Back in 06 and 07 it was probably my #1 played game. So many memorable levels. I especially liked the one where you were at that English estate at night and all the guards had hunting shotguns.

My apologies, I've been drinking and this sounds to me like Kermit the Frog talking about Hitman. So I'm gonna keep imagining that, but I'm subscribing regardless because this was a great video.
👍
I’ve laughed my ass off with this. Since you’re kinda right. Specially with some of his words, it amplifies kermitness xD
Yoooo I can’t unhear it now 😂😂😂
Holy shit I read this just as he was starting to talk about Hitman 2 and I could not unhear it for the rest of the video. It was a very well done video regardless.

Finally someone who appreciates how cool af Contracts is.
Its the one I started with and one that is still my favorite. Just has that moody, spooky feel. Newer ones dont have that feeling at all.
I liked how “dark and gritty” the game was. I loved the game so much, I just never could figure out the disguise portion in the training area.
@@agent-xqj3733 me neither, i still don't know how to approach that to this day
I tried everything, I tried to crouch behind that barrier but a strand of fabric must’ve stuck up from the balaclava because each guard turned around and saw a single strand moving then they went gung ho and I tried walking back to the door where it said disguises are required but someone always shot at me.
@BIGWORM 510 I have Silent Assassin on every mission on Professional difficulty. The disguise system and AI can be unpredictable, but the rest of the game more than makes up for it.
I think the Hitman games starting from 2016 are the best ones in the series. I feel like they are not so dark like the first trilogy was, which is a negative in my eyes, but at the same time 47's comments while he blends in, his voice acting, movement, basically his whole character is just amazing. The tons of opportunities are brilliant, i played the Miami level through a whole day and i still didnt do everything i have planned. I think these games are the best way to continue what the og games were about, and im so happy that IO knows what people loved so much about the Hitman series.

Awesome video! I appreciate all the hard work you've put into this.
My first Hitman game was Contracts and since it was the first experience of its kind, I absolutely loved it. I've been following the series ever since. And I do agree that it has the best atmosphere (and soundrack). That mission in a night club with blood splattered all over the place, hanging meat hooks, dancing ladies in latex, the butcher room and Jabba the Hutt boss, oh man...
Though, Hitman (2016) introduced the best balance of everything we love about the series and improved it in every way possible. It just turned out to be so GOOD. I really am glad that iOi decided to go back to the game's roots and delivered super smooth and polished Hitman experience.
oh hey Contracts is my favorite too, there's something about the atmosphere of that game, it feels so dark and alone, and I think its the best expression of how a heartless assassin like 47 probably feels inside

Lol
The same one goddamned level 😔😔😔
@Christopher Marlowe for a game that I'll probably spend a week on and get bored, that's a damn rip-off
@Christopher Marlowe bruh it's like the no 6 top selling for mobile games rn...
I've played the Hitman series ever since playing the Codename : 47 demo from a PCGamer Demo Disc. Contracts was one of my favorites as well, but Blood Money's end scene was iconic at this point. I think the meat factory gimp party was the all time most memorable map for me. Great video, and the toilet "scene" made me laugh out loud. Subscribed!
Haah, how I love this series and how I am totally watching this video for the 3rd time now. Classic stuff. So glad you made this ❤
2:57
Jesus, the frame rate on that is like reading a book.
that looks how avp 2 on pc looked on my old desktop in 2002 lol.
Lol
Yes i was playing like that too... and same for Soldier of fortune (2000) and now i can play at 165hz.. Started from the bottom now we are here. *good sigh*
F. morin lmao right on!
game was playing like a powerpoint presentation
My favourite hit man mission is the one in the opera house in blood money where you get the kill by switching the pistols
My favorite was the suburban mission and one in Mardi Gras
Saaaaame. That and Mardi Gras mission both seem so iconic looking back. So memorable.
I loved it how you can do it with a sniper rifle and if you time it correctly, it will count as an accident
Curtains down?
Eh, I still feel Birdman was a better adaptation of that level, really keeps you guessing.
Ive watched your reviewing every hitman 7 times, shows how amazing these vids are
Overflowing the sinks on purpose for fun reminds me when I was a kid. That's why I love this series so much.
Not even exaggerating, I had to look away when that 1FPS Hitman footage played.
Holy hell, my eyes.
Brings me back to my old computer...good times
Got a time stamp for that, me bredda?
@Dr. Red eye Jesus!
The worst I ever saw on my computer was back in 2003. I downloaded the doom 3 demo. Ran at most 1fps for 30 seconds before crashing my computer. Good days. *Sips*
I played Final Fantasy 8 like that.
Alright, hear me out, "Reviewing EVERY Metal Gear Solid game"
Yeah, how many games are in mgs again
@@maffyu there would be definitely be a mainline and handheld video, there's that many lmao
If he doesn't tell the story, then it may be possible but without the story, there isn't much point
Ice Pick I think 12, I may be wrong
@@ivangambino4135 is that including handheld ones??
Contracts FTW! :D The best atmosphere, the best music, and some of the best missions. We need a remaster!
Letting go of Jesper Kyd for the later games was criminal though, they feel soulless and dead without him.
Just bought the entire hitman series on steam just because you made this vid. Thanks for reminding me of this amazing series I had forgotten
"contracts plays how you think silent assassin played in your nostalgic memories" hahaha so true
A moment of silence for all those frames no longer with us during his Codename 47 playthrough
??
206 frames were killed in the accident
I always wondered why contracts was mentioned after part 2 and you explained it perfectly. Blood Money was incredible then aboslution and beyond
My favourite missions are A Dance With The Devil, for its open ended design along with interesting map interactivity, and The Farewell, for the great opportunities that the game puts over the table for you to execute. I like every single game, but oddly enough, my second and third favourite ones are Codename 47 and Absolution. My all time favourite one, is Blood Money. It's a little ankward how the formula was changed coming from the more stealth based gameplay showed in Contracts and Silent Assassin, but it was far more accesible and dynamic to play.
Good video, you have really good explicative skills!
I can never get over 47 recoiling in horror and disgust on being kissed.
It just feels right for his character
I mean he got kissed by a prostitute. Only god knows where that mouth has been.
@@dilegox oh god you’re right
Affection is alien to him. It's perfect.
Bro has seen literal brain spilled out and gets disgusted over a kiss. Seems oddly fitting.
“Stop naming your game sequels that are already things.”
Xbox console names: 👀
All of the Xbox's have different names tho.
@@low-budgefudge2164 That may be true, but prior to the Xbox One most people called the original xbox, the xbox 1. They may have different official names, but you gotta admit, it's a poor naming scheme that causes way too much confusion to those that play video games on a much more casual level.
@@tj1622 nah. original xbox/og xbox, 360 and one.
@@tj1622 A nick name doesn't change its official name. Just saying
@@low-budgefudge2164 search "Xbox" and you will not get results of the original Xbox. Then Xbox One screwing again the classic Xbox with its confusing name, and lastly Xbox Series X is really similar to Xbox One/X in style.
Xbox counter: 7 in total
I'm amazed by the praise that you gave Hitman 2016. Hearing its the pinnacle of the series is really interesting, that's the game I started with
Thank you for mentioning tenchu!!!! That was a great one your the first i know to mention it
This takes me back. Remember the days when you could hardly save and had to memorize the whole map and how it moved before you could do anything right? Ps2 gamers remember.
Pepperidge farms remembers
hell yea blood money and sa was amazing
Sparse saves were fake difficulty
After playing and doing stealth in so many games the "What did I do?!" became "But I didn't do anything!"
It's like walking through downtown Chicago and suddenly being arrested on the spot for no discernable reason.
I loved Hitman 2: Silent assassin, introduced me to the series and i loved the nailgun cheat with the rag-dolls. I never really got with Contracts, i played it but idk it never sat with me. Blood Money is probably my absolute favourite though, i loved that game so much. I loved the newspaper feature, depending on how well you played it got harder if you were guns blazing.
blood money was really nice, I still play it occasionally.
Finished the video now and I think you really did a great job at reviewing the series. You highlighted all the pros but also shined a bright light at all the cons of all the titles. Even if I don't agree with every point, you explained them in away one can understand why you think this way.
Nice work
Critical Nobody: the Hitman isn’t really that resilient
*shows him getting shot a million times
Look at the bottom right when you see that again
God mode was activated
it was on godmode for the trigger happy point
Too many missions worth mentioning but Blood Money was awesome simply because of the weapon customization and I agree that Contracts was severely underrated.
Blood Money is my favourite in the serie but I'm surprised that what you find noteworthy about it is the weapon customization, considering you spend the entire game actively trying to AVOID using them
@@victorparadis460 not me, after completing the missions in Silent Assassin I go full ham and put everything to use lol.
@@dumbasamoose3382
Yeah, I did the same. Silently save up all the weapons, then clear out the casino with an M4 with drum mags. Blood Money was great.
My biggest gripe with the older games is the running = suspicious mechanic. "Hey that guy is running!? He must be a murderer, only murderers run!"
what an awesome video man, really! loved your take on the hitman franchise ;)
"I need to use the bathroom"
My first introduction to a Hitman game.
To be continued
"DIS GAH IZ LODED! ALAM, ALAM!!!"
He packing
is it sad that I instantly tried to look for this comment when I scrolled down..
I love the "God forbid you run in front of anyone" lines
I've been a fan of Hitman for more than 15 years and I absolutely loved this video!
Echoing your thoughts on Hitman Contracts. While I'm not sure I'd say its my favorite in the series, I am definitely very fond of it. The dark atmosphere really drew me in back in the day as a kid.
Lol he sounds like Kermit the Frog, and now I can’t unhear it 😂
Why did you have to say that now i cant unhear it lol
Annoying Reptile lmfao if I had to go thru it, so do y’all 😂
Thank you for ruining the video for me
Aaaaaaaahhhhhh nooooo
Omfg 😂
This is a video I never knew I needed, but I’m glad it’s here.
Really enjoyed your funny and highly informative feedback on the series. I really love playing the bald guy with a gun and agree that Hitman Contracts was one of the best releases in the series. Nowadays I'm mostly on PS4 so would love to relive the experience on a good PC in the future.
This is no joke one of my favorites videos on TH-cam
"This isn't a bad game"
Cuts straight to Strip Club level looking at the stage
I'm inclined to agree
I want to see IO take a poll on everyone’s favorite Hitman levels and then recreate them in Hitman 3. Then Hitman 3 would be the only Hitman game I’ll ever need haha.
Only mission I’m really wanting done is the White House mission. The whole mission concept was amazing
@@KorbyWorby Do you mean Amendment XVII ?
@@KorbyWorby meat king party would be crazy
@@vinayaks7994 I believe it was Amendment XXV, but I do believe that is what he's referring to. What I mainly hated about the White House mission was the amount of cameras you had to avoid, and I know video tapes exist, but I could never find those. Other than the cameras, the level is great and has a whole bunch of possibilities.
@@kai64warden86 Yeah I think that's the name, it's been a while since I played blood money and I do believe that would have been a good map if it had multiple objective and a better ending rather than a shootout, the video tape I think was in the guard's staff room, getting there was sort of easy since I basically blasted every single soul that came into my path
I got absolution for free because it was installed on a hand-me-down Xbox I got, and it was my introduction to the series, and it blew me away how fun I thought it was. I’ve only played the newer Hitmans and absolution, and I gotta say as an introduction it did a damn fine job roping me into the series
