What a ridiculous title for a ridiculous video. Of course it's not historically accurate, it's a fictional video game universe with magic and Darth Vader. We don't need this unnecessary baggage shoved down out throats! That's just my personal opinion, though. I am very smart.

"Best worst selling game of the year" is the most depressing thing I've heard in awhile. I've bought Hitman 2 on PC and XB1 and between the two with the new levels and replaying the older levels up to 20/20 Mastery, I've got well over 100 hours into the game. Definitely my game of the generation.
Thank you for giving this wonderful game some much-deserved attention. Hitman 2 very unexpectedly became my personal GOTY (it wasn't really even on my radar until after it was released) and I love it dearly
RDR2 bored the life out of me after 5 hours. It is beautiful, vibrant and the characters are so fascinating. Unfortunately Rockstar seriously dropped the ball and show how bad they are at storytelling and mechanics.
@John Moon Cool game, but to be honest Rockstar didn't innovate much since GTA 4. Everything is bigger and more refined, and that's it. They need to take more risks. With the amount of profit they make with every release they totally could start experimenting with something new aside from their flagship franchises.
I want to play Hitman season 2, but why should I buy it, when I can't get my self to finish Season 1 due to a complete lack of any story with substance. Releasing in a window dominated by whalenight, COD and Red Dead 2 (story mode) might not have been a good idea either.
@@kenneth83DK True, but Hitman 2 kind of picks up the pace in terms of the story, relative to the first game, but it's still mostly nonsense in my opinion. It's just some retconning and and a few truly ridiculous plot twists, but the real reason to buy Hitman 2 is the gameplay and replayability, not the story. There are a few things I dislike about the modern interpretation of Hitman, but it's a great game nontheless. The story takes a back seat, which fits the series in my opinion.
kenneth83DK if you're playing Hitman for the story then I think you're playing the wrong franchise. Hitman has always had a trash story and focused way more on great gameplay.
One huge improvement that I wonder if people notice is the voice work. Of course David Bateson is always perfect as 47, but in the previous game they seemed to recycle the same few voice actors, which doesn't work in a game that takes place in locations around the world. It's odd to hear a character that's clearly meant to be a native speaker of another language speaking English with no accent. This makes it feel like a B movie. In the new levels, it seems they took this into account. Small detail, but it makes a difference.
The older Hitman games like Contracts, Silent Assassin etc also had good voice work in terms of how their accent was and also they spoke in their native language as well which made it more immersive in my opinion... I have no idea why Hitman 2016 didn't have native voice actors...
@@TheOrangeMatty Agreed. My guess is they had a small budget for voice work in the last game and were only able to hire a few voice actors to play all the parts, but it really gave the game a cheap feel. Being in the middle of Marrakesh, for example, and hearing everyone around you speaking English as their native language, is offputting because it's unrealistic.
Thats the case for most games this year though. The trick is that the season pass is not discounted, or way less in most cases. So you can get the main game cheaper faster, but the extra content stays more expensive longer.
@@flimpeenflarmpoon1353 Hmm, that's a shame. I'm more of a console guy, I've been burned too hard by PC gaming, but I am quite interested in this. I'll probably pick it up at some point. But honestly, there's just too many games to play.
@@samz8691 I played all of them, man. It's not directly comparable since the older levels were never this big. Blood Money is still tied with MGS3 as my favorite stealth game of all time, but this one is almost up there. It's definitely the best stealth game since Blood Money.
I'm so mad HITMAN 2 is doing so poorly. It's such a great game, and so is the first one! I would throw so much money at IO if only i could, they're doing God's work and no one cares...
@@deathgrinderb3284 yeah buy it. I was in the same boat as you. Now I've put about a good 15-20 hours on the new one. You also get all the remastered missions from the first Hitman
One of the things I love about Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2 is how sort of old fashioned they are. They're just unapologetically gamey-ass games that are all about the mechanics, with a huge focus on replayability. They have no pretense of realism (or of philosophical depth), with story placed firmly down the list after gameplay. This is also one of the things that made me love Metal Gear Solid V so much, despite being a longtime fan of the series and actually being invested in the story.
As someone who has gleefully perfected this game (including the Legacy Pack) I wish it would sell better. It's an immensely fun puzzle game. If you have not bought it, do so immediately.
Deservedly so, the less games that require online connection, have singleplayer-related content hosted on servers, have DENUVO and season passes, the better.
@@Happytreefriendsfan3 I don't think he meant games with shady business practices but more so games with passionate developers that actually care about what they're making, unlike what you see 90% of the time with EA
Certainly the mixed bag is unfortunate, but if season 1 is anything to go by, the connection is stable and Denuvo will be gone if you wait to buy the GOTY version (which eliminates the season pass). So just buy the game later when it's a complete package. I'll swallow the online pill for now if it means IOI and this series don't have to die, but can totally understand if that's the hill you want to die on.
I was actually wishing they would add a difficulty setting above Master. Something where leaving bloodstains on walls, or empty clips on the ground would count against your "professionalism". It's probably too niche, but with as much accessibility as they've added, it would be cool to see them tackle the more nuanced approaches by acknowledging these little details. Blood money had that newspaper gimmick. Which, while barely implemented into that game, was still (imo) a move in a really interesting direction. I want each level to end with a couple of gumshoes going over the scene of the crime with a fine tooth comb, picking out every piece of leftover evidence and trying to build a case.
@@AidanCooperSolomon It is indeed a travesty. I think the series lacks the kind of mass appeal that you get with a hero like Snake. 47 is perfect for the series, but he's a bit of a hard sell to general audiences. The story in Hitman is also difficult to get excited about, even for fans of the actual game. There's no marketable FarCry-eske bad guy to focus on, or even a generic high stakes save the world kind of affair. I don't mind this at all, but I think people who don't realize how good the gameplay is might not be swayed by these lackluster external factors.
I wish we had the starting (like blood money) gear. like you didn't have to equip it. you ALWAYS have fiber wire, coins, a remote explosive, and a lock pick and whatever else it had in it. and you could upgrade it.
@@deathgrinderb3284 FIbre Wire is useless because Subdue is fast enough, they did make Fibre wire quicker, but that now means 47 doesn't even the choke the guy, they just die instantly when he puts it around his throat, so it's less tense and less fun to use.
Glad you mentioned how uncomfortable the settings and storylines can be. I dunno if a game's story has ever made me more angry (in a good way) than the final one in this game. Listening to the wealthy and powerful candidly chat in a party about how they've destroyed the earth for profit and then became environmentalists at the eleventh hour for good PR and now are buying secret bunkers to survive the impending apocalypse they caused while the rest of the world rots to death is the most efficient vertical slice of "fuck rich people" ever. It put the messed up situation of climate change into perspective in a blunt way that really stuck with me. The 2016 game with the secret virus laboratory and rogue militia ready to destabilize governments gave me similar feelings of being uncomfortable with unchecked power, but Isle of Sgail takes the cake.
@@fluffy_tail4365 LOL, the rich monopolize every industry. They push people out of cities and cause people to become homeless by gentrification. The rich/big businesses are greedy, they take away jobs from the people by automation and outsourcing. Automation and outsourcing has ruined our economy and increased competition greatly.
I want to hug you for making this video so very badly! You just made a Hitman fanboy extremely happy! I've been enthralled with the series every since Codename 47 back in 2000, and it brings a joyous tear to my eyes to see the franchise finally return to its perfect form and become a worthwhile experience yet again.
Worst part is, hitman CAN sell well, but single player games with a required online connection and Denuvo don't sell well, regardless of how good the attached game is. IO screwed themselves when they signed on with WB games. All they have to do is put it up on GOG and I'll buy it in a heart beat (if they could put blood money on GOG while they're at it, that'd be great)
I wish I could agree with you but Diablo 3 being one of the best selling, if not the best selling, PC game of all time kinda goes against that idea. I'm sure it's true for DRM in niche communities but I think it's mainly marketing that killed this game. I haven't seen anyone outside of games press be hyped or interested in Hitman at all. I saw maybe some streamers playing it.
Always online has nothing to do with sales. Can people stop with this annoying myth? There is no basis for this. Hitman will never sell as well as you want it to. Metal Gears sales are an outlier. Dishonoured, Prey, Splinter Cell and hitman are the norm. Asus creed is an action game pretending to be stealth.
Exactly. I have the gog collection, BM and HITMAN on steam. HITMAN actuality has Linux support and dropped Denuvo although still with stupid online only setup. Until HITMAN 2 gets Linux and reduced DRM then it can be the best hitman game in the series, I won't fund that business practice with a single cent.
@@TheLingo56 Diablo is one of the most beloved and well known PC game franchises in the world. And made by Blizzard. One of the biggest and most popular PC game developers in the world. Diablo 3 would have sold amazing no matter what. Some brands always sell well no matter if it's shit or not. Because of the name alone.
Few can actually think "Oh god, sneak into the kitchen for more sauce and giggle as you turn on all the faucets at your neighbor's! This game is so cool!" in a game about killing people in cold blood and getting out unseen. But... But George can.
The best advice I can come up with for anyone wanting to get into the new hitman games is to learn the maps. They are massive and lively and there's so much going on, but that also opens up avenues of travel and new disguises to stealth around with. Stories to experience and silliness to be had
This game made me take Red Dead Redemption 2 out of my PlayStation to play it and I can say that is no easy feat to do. I hope these games continue to be made as IO has always listened to the community and made wanted improvements to their Hitman games. Hitman 2 by stands toe to toe with God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 for my Game of the Year simply because it offers something that the other two don’t, a tremendous replay value. On a Side note I’m very glad you are giving this game the credit it deserves and thank you for mentioning David Bateson’s performance as 47 which is just excellent. Hearing 47 talk more than he usually does in this game was a huge plus for me.
Thanks for giving this the exposure it deserves. So many reviewers have just been calling it "Hitman 2016 expansion pack" but they're either completely missing the point of this game, or aren't playing it right, or just aren't the right audience for this type of game. The levels are designed for replayability, for REAL. No other game puts this much effort into smart/clever level design where you have so many alternate routes and paths and so many sectioned off or cordoned off areas that can only be accessed with the right disguise. Heck, I was discovering hidden areas in a level on my 9th or 10th playthrough when I was pretty sure I had the entire map memorized. We all loved Sapienza and Hokkaido from Hitman 2016, but every level in Hitman 2 meets that quality bar and sometimes goes beyond it. It's honestly shocking how they managed to pull off a game so well. IO Interactive knows this genre and their audience so well.
This was one of only two full-priced games I bought this year. Thanks for doing this video, Hitman needs all the exposure it can get, it really is top quality in a world where AAA quality is waning
Like you, I have always loved stealth and I knew you’d be a HITMAN fan. I have long loved having 47 as an avatar of the kind of assassin you would want to be. I initially play like Vincent from Collateral and just adapt however i can. And then I love to play as a “target only, suit only” assassin. This and Splinter Cell (another franchise I have throughly enjoyed) should be way more recognisable and demanded by the general gaming public. Splinter Cell could be another Mission Impossible film franchise if managed correctly.
*Agent 47:* Okay 47, the fate of nations, the eb and flow of commerce, humanity's very future is riding on the success of this mission... let's get serious. *Adorns sombrero*
...I'm going to assume Super Bunnyhop already knows the blurred sections (e.g. when he's talking about the different versions of Hitman 1 & 2) are missing the overlays that are hinted at in the video and is working on an update to that.
I don't understand people. They'll shit all over hitman because one of the many side modes is a 2 week limited event, while big companies get away with much, much worse, and still get near-universal praise. Then there are the blood money fanboys who refuse to give anything else a chance and just immediately blow off the new games as absolution 2 and 3 because it doesn't have jesper kyd music or something. I blame the marketing mostly, unless you were already a fan of 2016 you probably heard nothing about this game, or at least so little that you'd be confused and turned off by the weird release structure. The season finale should just have all three seasons in one game, don't even call it hitman 3, give it a subtitle, and revamp the unlock system so that us old fans don't have to unlock the same things for a third time. That I think is a winning formula to make a successful hitman game.
Agree 100% of the lack of marketing. I was a fan of the first game and wanted to buy it as soon as it was out, but didn’t even notice it got released until TH-cam suggested me videos of it long after the release.
that funny as agent 47 is when it comes to the disguises and what not there's something to be said about people who sneak and infiltrate places and even outright steal sometimes because they have this confidence about them and look so self assured that they are where they're supposed to be that a lot of people honestly wont question it.
I find these new hitman games(2016, 2018) to feel more like old school splinter cell, With the older assassins creed crowd blending added in hitman 2. Wich is awesome in my opinion. A sandbox where stealth actually feels important and fun instead of just an added feature like most games these days. This game deserves praise for all it's moving pieces in each level. Maybe it's just that don't remember much from hitman 2016 but I feel they stepped it up a bunch in hitman 2.
I've been waiting for Hitman 2 to come out specifically so that the first would be 100% complete. I'm not a fan of the episodic design of these games, but Hitman has always been one of my favorite series of all times. The time sensitive missions in Hitman 2016 will unfortunately be something I missed out on, but I would rather have one long playthrough of the game than spend time waiting between the episodes. It's just how I prefer to play my games. Good to see that Hitman 2 seems to improve on everything the first in this reboot series did, and maybe by the time I finish the first game this one will be nearly complete.
I appreciate that IO stopped doing an episodic structure with Hitman 2 but their always online crap still really kills it for me. You can't get unlocks, spawn locations, challenges and other gadgets while offline. I don't know why they couldn't just add all that stuff into the normal game instead of relying on servers thst will inevitably shutdown.
I also love this game, and have to control myself when I want them to iron out all the little bugs, by the end of this year, I actually agree that it 3-4 months this might be a legendary game of decade contender in the stealth category, the levels are just so awesome.
Bought Hitman (1) because of your last review, I enjoyed it more than most games, particular the 'Sapienza' episode. Spend more time in that one 'level' than the rest of the game. Wish there was a Hitman centered around travelling Italy or something! Thanks for all your work and happy Christmas!
I really hope hitman 3 has proper co-op because I swear to god this game is *perfect* for it. Imagine two people working together and coming up with a coordinated plan like maybe one player causes a distraction in one part of the map to attract the guards while the other slips in and kills the target, or one player finds a high point and acts as a sniper to cover the other player while he infiltrates
It's so strange to me how Hitman 2 isn't selling well. I've been seeing anything and everything Hitman 2-related pop up consistently, whether it's clips, videos, streamers, late reviews, you name it. Even something such as the briefcase clips are still a thing that you see. I'm surprised all of this smaller-but-consistent publicity isn't making it sell better.
The confusing business model, pricing and double-DRM scheme (denuvo+online profiles) probably didn't help the game. Idk why the devs doubled down on that crap. I've just looked how much the first game costs, and they're asking for 52€ fucking euro. Even new games don't always cost that much, its ridiculous. IO got some damn good develoepers, but there have to be some top level/marketing people who have no clue what they're doing.
Great Hitman games ended with Blood Money. Hitman lost its personality. Now it's just some mediocre and boring game of killing for the sake of killing. "It meant to be replayed the same levels multiple times" my ass.
@@RmFrZQ blood money fanboys probably haven't even played the new games, just looked at like a 10 second TH-cam clip and went "the crouching animation is the same as absolution, 0/10"
MiniMackeroni DRM and season passes. Should've been a complete experience like MGSV or the Splinter Cell games, complemented with maybe DLC. This will not have longevity because of the always online
So I bought Hitman 2016 awhile back (Not the complete version with the extra dlc) and downloaded Hitman 2 when I found out I could get all those missions again but new and improved for free. I was having a blast with it and me and my friend were giggling like school girls when I used tactics we never thought would work. I play on Xbox mind you and was waiting until the game went on sale to actually buy it. I can’t believe the day George makes a video is the day it happens. Thank you Dad. I love you.
Like, Hitman is such a legendary legacy franchise spanning nearly 20 years at this point, but it's still a hidden gem... that's insane. This is hands down my favorite game series.
It sucks that Hitman 2 was blown under the radar so much. Even though it still takes the best gameplay elements of all the Hitman games combined into a big playground of stealth and assassinations. I really hope they can get a break to ensure they make the third season for sure.
love that game! It has the spirit of Blood Money and it feels like the developers actually care about it. Such care to detail! btw I cried when I heard the 'ave Maria' song in your review. Blood Money was just pure gold.
11:50 Really though. Sometimes when I'm listening to the cutscenes in this game I just unintentional zone out because I can't figure out what they're talking about. Maybe I'm just stupid. But even with the final cutscenes in MGS4, with Big Boss talking about ones and zeroes, I could at least generally understand that because it involved concepts from that universe I was familiar with.
You reminded me how much I loved the original Hitman. My friend and I used to play through it together. We got really far but never beat it. I would love to try again, this time older and smarter and get the game running super nice on a modern system at high res and everything. I remember the last level we were on seemed like an airport runway with fences and guard towers and it was dark out.
I have a headache and need to be awake in 3 hours, not even a Hitman fan just bern watching a lotta these videos in the background all evening/night. Might have to give it a shot when there's another Publisher Sale.
As a fan of the series, I wanted to preorder this for the sniper challenge (and eventual good-great game) months ago. Just didn’t have the money or the drive space. Just sat in the back of my mind for months. Thanks George for bringing this back to my attention in time for the sale. 👍
Blood Money's Requiem is one of my fondest gaming moments ever. Devs simply can't do that kind of thing anymore. The internet spoils everything. It was other times for sure. For all the great things the advance in technology has brought upon us we also lost a lot.
Great video, as always. Hey George, most probably someone have already asked you about that, but since you're huge Metal Gear fan I wonder what's your opinion on Splinter Cell series as a whole?
It creates "one of the greatest acts of deadpan pop culture comedy - right up there with Hank Hill and Harry Plinkett". Good to see Mr Plinkett is getting some recognition, finally!
hm2 has been on my watch-list since i was playing the demo for the first and noticed it recommended on Xbox one. You mentioned steam which is usually my primary since I'm a PC. I was just a bit put off since hm1 + hm2 on actually making a purchase because of all the add-on stuff that makes my head spin because almost nobody seems to know how to make or sell a whole game anymore at least "triple-a". I liked absolution and the previous titles so thanks for the heads up on the "GOTY Legacy Pack" kinda clears things up for me. I just have one question. Would you recommend purchasing and playing HM1 first or just skip it and get HM2?
I like this video. It's a reflection of the love letter that Hitman is. Edit: Also it reminded me to play the game. After Blood Money, i couldn't find another good Hitman game, and now i have and can play it.
Hitman 2016/2018 are just wonderful experiences. I have played an untold amount of hours on these games and just earlier today I played through Sapienza and discovered that if I set off a fire alarm on the back of the lab the tech's inside will vacate the premises and make it pain free to destroy the virus --- i've played these games and this specific map for 3 years and never even clued in. It's a game that truly does reward experimentation and creativity.
I don't think it was smart of anyone to release at xmas time the year Red Dead Redemption 2 came out. Timing is what will hurt Hitman, not the quality. People will be busy with Red Dead. Most people can't play two single player games at the same time. Anyway, I love Hitman. Great series.
@@OveRaDaMaNt Offline playthroughs (and by extension the cracked game) has none of the unlocks, mission trackers, and more. That will all disappear when the servers go dark, as that stuff is always online. The maps won't disappear, but many of the features will
Okay so I've never played a Hitman game. I'm not huge on stealth but George's depictions are always compelling and I do enjoy the environment design I've seen. I had completely forgotten this game was out after seeing some demos near E3. And every time someone talks about it or I see an article about it I need to spend time figuring out if they're talking about the new game or the older. And after all the debacles with DLC in the last game, I wasn't even sure whether I could get this entire game in one purchase (which, as a newcomer, still entails a high asking price for a game I'm not sure I'll enjoy). Or given this review, whether I should be getting the first one as well? The point? In some ways, it really doesn't matter how much this series appeals to fans; its already niche audience appears to have shrunk with the DLC debacles that do the double duty of making it confusing to newcomers who want to try the game. The gameplay, I'm sure, may be much more accessible than ever. The game however, looks like it is not. The fact that he needs to spend 2 minutes at the end explaining how to get into it, in a way that... to be honest, I'm just too stupid to understand. I'm not a stealth gamer. I'm borderline on whether I'd enjoy this. So having to know which edition to buy and knowing I'll still end up spending what equates to 4 good indie titles to see if I'll like it? I feel like a lot of potential buyers went through this thought process and maybe concluded as I do that... I'm not sure I can justify buying it. I dunno, just wanted to share that opinion *shrug
"That is egregious. That is putrid." That's how you described the business practices of the always-online single player game last time. This can't be game of the generation if future generations won't be able to play it properly. It really is tragic. It's honestly aastounding how just one single factor ruined the entire game. I don't care how good it is (the fact that it's good makes me angrier), if a single-player game holds it's players hostage, then that's unforgivable.
Bless You, Our Lord of the Georgesocks. I've been considering getting this, but I wasn't sure the best way to go about it as I missed (deliberately; I did not like what Squeenix was trying to do with it) Hitman 1. Now I have it answered.
These Hitman games are pure genius. Funny and suspenseful at the same time and drowning in gameplay options and angles. Beautifully crafted maps. Huge depth of sub plots and npc dialogue. The developers are so talented it's filthy.
What a ridiculous title for a ridiculous video. Of course it's not historically accurate, it's a fictional video game universe with magic and Darth Vader. We don't need this unnecessary baggage shoved down out throats! That's just my personal opinion, though. I am very smart.

Thats the case for most games this year though. The trick is that the season pass is not discounted, or way less in most cases.
So you can get the main game cheaper faster, but the extra content stays more expensive longer.
The moment this video ended I bought the game.
Hitman was the only game I've been excited for all year and it didn't dissapoint.

@@oscarmccormack1611 I only have a PC these days and I've never been a Nintendo guy, sadly. I had a DS and a gameboy but that's about it.
@@flimpeenflarmpoon1353
Hmm, that's a shame. I'm more of a console guy, I've been burned too hard by PC gaming, but I am quite interested in this. I'll probably pick it up at some point. But honestly, there's just too many games to play.
Most underrated game of the century
This isn't titanfall 2 😅
Unless you played any of the older games, which had more content.
@@samz8691 no
Demetrius Ervin Titanfall 2 was still a huge success commercially, so I'm not sure what you're on about.
@@samz8691 I played all of them, man. It's not directly comparable since the older levels were never this big. Blood Money is still tied with MGS3 as my favorite stealth game of all time, but this one is almost up there. It's definitely the best stealth game since Blood Money.
I'm so mad HITMAN 2 is doing so poorly. It's such a great game, and so is the first one! I would throw so much money at IO if only i could, they're doing God's work and no one cares...
I guess they just got stuck with a shitty publisher, which sucks when they're THAT good at making games
so I was thinking of getting the game I have season 1 and was going to get season 2 for 30$ its on sale right now. you think thats a good deal?
It's to some degree they're own fault for making the game online only.
@@deathgrinderb3284 yeah buy it. I was in the same boat as you. Now I've put about a good 15-20 hours on the new one. You also get all the remastered missions from the first Hitman
Notorious Tito yea I got it. im enjoying it also. the remastered missions r u talking about the very first hitman or the 2016 hitman?
One of the things I love about Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2 is how sort of old fashioned they are. They're just unapologetically gamey-ass games that are all about the mechanics, with a huge focus on replayability. They have no pretense of realism (or of philosophical depth), with story placed firmly down the list after gameplay. This is also one of the things that made me love Metal Gear Solid V so much, despite being a longtime fan of the series and actually being invested in the story.
I disagree completely about the story part, hitman is not some duke nukem type of thing
@Raving Dave Alex Jones must be the greatest philosopher of our time then.
As someone who has gleefully perfected this game (including the Legacy Pack) I wish it would sell better. It's an immensely fun puzzle game. If you have not bought it, do so immediately.
@heyboobsniceGirl Thanks, I was raised on a healthy diet of Max Payne and Hitman.
This game does deserve so much better. It's so good. I'm afraid that this might be the end for Hitman, and games like them.
Deservedly so, the less games that require online connection, have singleplayer-related content hosted on servers, have DENUVO and season passes, the better.
I don’t know id rather good games with questionable decisions than it not existing
@@Happytreefriendsfan3 I don't think he meant games with shady business practices but more so games with passionate developers that actually care about what they're making, unlike what you see 90% of the time with EA
Certainly the mixed bag is unfortunate, but if season 1 is anything to go by, the connection is stable and Denuvo will be gone if you wait to buy the GOTY version (which eliminates the season pass).
So just buy the game later when it's a complete package. I'll swallow the online pill for now if it means IOI and this series don't have to die, but can totally understand if that's the hill you want to die on.
@@Gustavozxd13 EA aren't developers.
I was actually wishing they would add a difficulty setting above Master. Something where leaving bloodstains on walls, or empty clips on the ground would count against your "professionalism". It's probably too niche, but with as much accessibility as they've added, it would be cool to see them tackle the more nuanced approaches by acknowledging these little details.
Blood money had that newspaper gimmick. Which, while barely implemented into that game, was still (imo) a move in a really interesting direction. I want each level to end with a couple of gumshoes going over the scene of the crime with a fine tooth comb, picking out every piece of leftover evidence and trying to build a case.
That's a great idea! Too bad Hitman 3 might never happen due to poor sales
@@AidanCooperSolomon It is indeed a travesty. I think the series lacks the kind of mass appeal that you get with a hero like Snake. 47 is perfect for the series, but he's a bit of a hard sell to general audiences. The story in Hitman is also difficult to get excited about, even for fans of the actual game. There's no marketable FarCry-eske bad guy to focus on, or even a generic high stakes save the world kind of affair. I don't mind this at all, but I think people who don't realize how good the gameplay is might not be swayed by these lackluster external factors.
Hitman Absolution had guards notice blood.
I wish we had the starting (like blood money) gear. like you didn't have to equip it. you ALWAYS have fiber wire, coins, a remote explosive, and a lock pick and whatever else it had in it. and you could upgrade it.
@@deathgrinderb3284 FIbre Wire is useless because Subdue is fast enough, they did make Fibre wire quicker, but that now means 47 doesn't even the choke the guy, they just die instantly when he puts it around his throat, so it's less tense and less fun to use.
Glad you mentioned how uncomfortable the settings and storylines can be. I dunno if a game's story has ever made me more angry (in a good way) than the final one in this game. Listening to the wealthy and powerful candidly chat in a party about how they've destroyed the earth for profit and then became environmentalists at the eleventh hour for good PR and now are buying secret bunkers to survive the impending apocalypse they caused while the rest of the world rots to death is the most efficient vertical slice of "fuck rich people" ever. It put the messed up situation of climate change into perspective in a blunt way that really stuck with me. The 2016 game with the secret virus laboratory and rogue militia ready to destabilize governments gave me similar feelings of being uncomfortable with unchecked power, but Isle of Sgail takes the cake.
But if you hate the rich who makes the jobs then commie?? Another libtard destroyed, pft
fluffy_tail All power to labor, baby
@@fluffy_tail4365 LOL, the rich monopolize every industry. They push people out of cities and cause people to become homeless by gentrification. The rich/big businesses are greedy, they take away jobs from the people by automation and outsourcing. Automation and outsourcing has ruined our economy and increased competition greatly.
@@truthseek3017 I should have put an \s after that I guess.
They made a marxist story with the most ancap main character ever. Incredible
I want to hug you for making this video so very badly! You just made a Hitman fanboy extremely happy! I've been enthralled with the series every since Codename 47 back in 2000, and it brings a joyous tear to my eyes to see the franchise finally return to its perfect form and become a worthwhile experience yet again.
Worst part is, hitman CAN sell well, but single player games with a required online connection and Denuvo don't sell well, regardless of how good the attached game is. IO screwed themselves when they signed on with WB games.
All they have to do is put it up on GOG and I'll buy it in a heart beat (if they could put blood money on GOG while they're at it, that'd be great)
I wish I could agree with you but Diablo 3 being one of the best selling, if not the best selling, PC game of all time kinda goes against that idea.
I'm sure it's true for DRM in niche communities but I think it's mainly marketing that killed this game. I haven't seen anyone outside of games press be hyped or interested in Hitman at all. I saw maybe some streamers playing it.
Always online has nothing to do with sales. Can people stop with this annoying myth? There is no basis for this. Hitman will never sell as well as you want it to. Metal Gears sales are an outlier. Dishonoured, Prey, Splinter Cell and hitman are the norm. Asus creed is an action game pretending to be stealth.
Exactly. I have the gog collection, BM and HITMAN on steam. HITMAN actuality has Linux support and dropped Denuvo although still with stupid online only setup.
Until HITMAN 2 gets Linux and reduced DRM then it can be the best hitman game in the series, I won't fund that business practice with a single cent.
@@Cinnamon1080
I would buy the game if it didn't have always online DRM. I love stealth games. But won't support this anti-consumer practice.
@@TheLingo56
Diablo is one of the most beloved and well known PC game franchises in the world. And made by Blizzard. One of the biggest and most popular PC game developers in the world. Diablo 3 would have sold amazing no matter what.
Some brands always sell well no matter if it's shit or not. Because of the name alone.
Your original Hitman review is what made me a fan of the channel. Thank you for making this.
Square Enix is gone, and now only IOI remains... and it shows.
"Hitman 2" is the High-End "Blood Money" makeover we allways wanted.
Few can actually think "Oh god, sneak into the kitchen for more sauce and giggle as you turn on all the faucets at your neighbor's! This game is so cool!" in a game about killing people in cold blood and getting out unseen.
But... But George can.
He needed more sauce for his noodles.
The best advice I can come up with for anyone wanting to get into the new hitman games is to learn the maps. They are massive and lively and there's so much going on, but that also opens up avenues of travel and new disguises to stealth around with. Stories to experience and silliness to be had
10:08 Rougelite you say? Devs: "quick, write that down"
Was my thought too! Holy shit George planted the seeds.
This game made me take Red Dead Redemption 2 out of my PlayStation to play it and I can say that is no easy feat to do. I hope these games continue to be made as IO has always listened to the community and made wanted improvements to their Hitman games. Hitman 2 by stands toe to toe with God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 for my Game of the Year simply because it offers something that the other two don’t, a tremendous replay value. On a Side note I’m very glad you are giving this game the credit it deserves and thank you for mentioning David Bateson’s performance as 47 which is just excellent. Hearing 47 talk more than he usually does in this game was a huge plus for me.
Thanks for giving this the exposure it deserves. So many reviewers have just been calling it "Hitman 2016 expansion pack" but they're either completely missing the point of this game, or aren't playing it right, or just aren't the right audience for this type of game. The levels are designed for replayability, for REAL. No other game puts this much effort into smart/clever level design where you have so many alternate routes and paths and so many sectioned off or cordoned off areas that can only be accessed with the right disguise. Heck, I was discovering hidden areas in a level on my 9th or 10th playthrough when I was pretty sure I had the entire map memorized.
We all loved Sapienza and Hokkaido from Hitman 2016, but every level in Hitman 2 meets that quality bar and sometimes goes beyond it. It's honestly shocking how they managed to pull off a game so well. IO Interactive knows this genre and their audience so well.
I bloody love this game
NANI!!
This was one of only two full-priced games I bought this year.
Thanks for doing this video, Hitman needs all the exposure it can get, it really is top quality in a world where AAA quality is waning
Like you, I have always loved stealth and I knew you’d be a HITMAN fan.
I have long loved having 47 as an avatar of the kind of assassin you would want to be. I initially play like Vincent from Collateral and just adapt however i can. And then I love to play as a “target only, suit only” assassin.
This and Splinter Cell (another franchise I have throughly enjoyed) should be way more recognisable and demanded by the general gaming public. Splinter Cell could be another Mission Impossible film franchise if managed correctly.
Noticed the "Where's Waldo?" image in the thumbnail. More like, "Where's Baldo?"... ... ... I'll show myself out.
Please 😂

-Super Bunnyhop, on being sneaky
*Agent 47:* Okay 47, the fate of nations, the eb and flow of commerce, humanity's very future is riding on the success of this mission... let's get serious.
*Adorns sombrero*
This would be 47% better if it was Ms. Burnwood talking to 47, who then adorned a sombrero.
Is there an explanation why this video looks so sloppy in its editing in some places? Like the unmotivated blurry filter?
I think he meant to put text in those parts, but forgot lol
Playing too much Hitman 2 to talk about Hitman 2, can you blame him?
He's been editing this while in japan, this video is mostly edited on train rides.
The James Bond comment around 6:10 or so is runny from my 4/16/2021 pov.
...I'm going to assume Super Bunnyhop already knows the blurred sections (e.g. when he's talking about the different versions of Hitman 1 & 2) are missing the overlays that are hinted at in the video and is working on an update to that.
I don't understand people. They'll shit all over hitman because one of the many side modes is a 2 week limited event, while big companies get away with much, much worse, and still get near-universal praise. Then there are the blood money fanboys who refuse to give anything else a chance and just immediately blow off the new games as absolution 2 and 3 because it doesn't have jesper kyd music or something.
I blame the marketing mostly, unless you were already a fan of 2016 you probably heard nothing about this game, or at least so little that you'd be confused and turned off by the weird release structure. The season finale should just have all three seasons in one game, don't even call it hitman 3, give it a subtitle, and revamp the unlock system so that us old fans don't have to unlock the same things for a third time. That I think is a winning formula to make a successful hitman game.
Remember kids, its ok to fuck the consumer as long as other companies do it too!
Agree 100% of the lack of marketing. I was a fan of the first game and wanted to buy it as soon as it was out, but didn’t even notice it got released until TH-cam suggested me videos of it long after the release.
@@RealAfricanPatriot How many more times are you going to repaste that?
Baeagon I haven’t seen anybody shit on Hitman because of the elusive target system, do people actually do that?
@@zimmerman1031 For as many times as other people here sincerely repeat the sentiment.
I knew it. SBFP dies and SBH rises from the ashes.
Not dead... yet.
that funny as agent 47 is when it comes to the disguises and what not there's something to be said about people who sneak and infiltrate places and even outright steal sometimes because they have this confidence about them and look so self assured that they are where they're supposed to be that a lot of people honestly wont question it.
Didn't know SBH still does reviews.
I find these new hitman games(2016, 2018) to feel more like old school splinter cell, With the older assassins creed crowd blending added in hitman 2. Wich is awesome in my opinion. A sandbox where stealth actually feels important and fun instead of just an added feature like most games these days. This game deserves praise for all it's moving pieces in each level. Maybe it's just that don't remember much from hitman 2016 but I feel they stepped it up a bunch in hitman 2.
I've been waiting for Hitman 2 to come out specifically so that the first would be 100% complete. I'm not a fan of the episodic design of these games, but Hitman has always been one of my favorite series of all times. The time sensitive missions in Hitman 2016 will unfortunately be something I missed out on, but I would rather have one long playthrough of the game than spend time waiting between the episodes. It's just how I prefer to play my games. Good to see that Hitman 2 seems to improve on everything the first in this reboot series did, and maybe by the time I finish the first game this one will be nearly complete.
I've been waiting for this!

Time to get even!
I appreciate that IO stopped doing an episodic structure with Hitman 2 but their always online crap still really kills it for me. You can't get unlocks, spawn locations, challenges and other gadgets while offline. I don't know why they couldn't just add all that stuff into the normal game instead of relying on servers thst will inevitably shutdown.
I also love this game, and have to control myself when I want them to iron out all the little bugs, by the end of this year, I actually agree that it 3-4 months this might be a legendary game of decade contender in the stealth category, the levels are just so awesome.
Props to highlighting such a great game. It beats me why this is not doing well as much as it should.
14:32 "It's possible to get to that level for like 47ish dollars."
I see what you did there, George! Very clever.
I watched the whole thing before commenting
I'm proud of you.
Bought Hitman (1) because of your last review, I enjoyed it more than most games, particular the 'Sapienza' episode. Spend more time in that one 'level' than the rest of the game. Wish there was a Hitman centered around travelling Italy or something!
Thanks for all your work and happy Christmas!
Same. I played Hitman for 90 hours in Paris and Sapienza alone, Maroco sadly isnt up to part and that stopped me from playing for now,
this game really is beautifully crafted, i bought it for 30$ and have absolutely zero regrets. if you love stealth games you need to get this.
I believe this game would’ve sold better if it was released at a different time as well as not having so many different versions to confuse customers
I really hope hitman 3 has proper co-op because I swear to god this game is *perfect* for it. Imagine two people working together and coming up with a coordinated plan like maybe one player causes a distraction in one part of the map to attract the guards while the other slips in and kills the target, or one player finds a high point and acts as a sniper to cover the other player while he infiltrates
It would be amazing
It's so strange to me how Hitman 2 isn't selling well. I've been seeing anything and everything Hitman 2-related pop up consistently, whether it's clips, videos, streamers, late reviews, you name it. Even something such as the briefcase clips are still a thing that you see. I'm surprised all of this smaller-but-consistent publicity isn't making it sell better.
The confusing business model, pricing and double-DRM scheme (denuvo+online profiles) probably didn't help the game. Idk why the devs doubled down on that crap.
I've just looked how much the first game costs, and they're asking for 52€ fucking euro. Even new games don't always cost that much, its ridiculous. IO got some damn good develoepers, but there have to be some top level/marketing people who have no clue what they're doing.
Great Hitman games ended with Blood Money.
Hitman lost its personality. Now it's just some mediocre and boring game of killing for the sake of killing.
"It meant to be replayed the same levels multiple times" my ass.
@@RmFrZQ blood money fanboys probably haven't even played the new games, just looked at like a 10 second TH-cam clip and went "the crouching animation is the same as absolution, 0/10"
MiniMackeroni DRM and season passes. Should've been a complete experience like MGSV or the Splinter Cell games, complemented with maybe DLC. This will not have longevity because of the always online
Hitman 2 didnt sell well because of poor marketing and advertising
So I bought Hitman 2016 awhile back (Not the complete version with the extra dlc) and downloaded Hitman 2 when I found out I could get all those missions again but new and improved for free. I was
having a blast with it and me and my friend were giggling like school girls when I used tactics we never thought would work.
I play on Xbox mind you and was waiting until the game went on sale to actually buy it. I can’t believe the day George makes a video is the day it happens. Thank you Dad. I love you.
09:43 for me this is the only thing missing. We need more options in the settings!
Like, Hitman is such a legendary legacy franchise spanning nearly 20 years at this point, but it's still a hidden gem... that's insane. This is hands down my favorite game series.
What a well-put, eloquent review.
It sucks that Hitman 2 was blown under the radar so much. Even though it still takes the best gameplay elements of all the Hitman games combined into a big playground of stealth and assassinations. I really hope they can get a break to ensure they make the third season for sure.
Already highly anticipating your Hitman 3 video
love that game! It has the spirit of Blood Money and it feels like the developers actually care about it. Such care to detail!
btw I cried when I heard the 'ave Maria' song in your review. Blood Money was just pure gold.
11:50 Really though. Sometimes when I'm listening to the cutscenes in this game I just unintentional zone out because I can't figure out what they're talking about. Maybe I'm just stupid. But even with the final cutscenes in MGS4, with Big Boss talking about ones and zeroes, I could at least generally understand that because it involved concepts from that universe I was familiar with.
This game needed a subtitle like Hitman: The apology for absolution.
You reminded me how much I loved the original Hitman. My friend and I used to play through it together. We got really far but never beat it. I would love to try again, this time older and smarter and get the game running super nice on a modern system at high res and everything. I remember the last level we were on seemed like an airport runway with fences and guard towers and it was dark out.
Thanks for the buyer's guide at the end. Very helpful.
What good timing for this review, given the games have some good sales going on at the moment.
I have a headache and need to be awake in 3 hours, not even a Hitman fan just bern watching a lotta these videos in the background all evening/night. Might have to give it a shot when there's another Publisher Sale.
Super Bunnyhop please add details 3:32
lmao underrated comment
I wanted to buy this game day 1. Saw reviews that were luke warm but I knew, your review would touch on the topics I cared. Buying now.. Thank you.
As a fan of the series, I wanted to preorder this for the sniper challenge (and eventual good-great game) months ago. Just didn’t have the money or the drive space.
Just sat in the back of my mind for months.
Thanks George for bringing this back to my attention in time for the sale. 👍
Was that Magickas final boss theme in the background?
Glad for your review, it pushed me to get 1 and 2 in full, and I couldn't have made a better purchase!
Blood Money's Requiem is one of my fondest gaming moments ever. Devs simply can't do that kind of thing anymore. The internet spoils everything. It was other times for sure. For all the great things the advance in technology has brought upon us we also lost a lot.
@ Super Bunnyhop >>> Which game should I buy? Hitman 1 or 2? Or both?
Looking forward to the inevitable Hitman 3 review.....I hope.
Great video, as always. Hey George, most probably someone have already asked you about that, but since you're huge Metal Gear fan I wonder what's your opinion on Splinter Cell series as a whole?
Do more reviews dude
He only made like, 2 videos that weren't reviews before this one.
It creates "one of the greatest acts of deadpan pop culture comedy - right up there with Hank Hill and Harry Plinkett". Good to see Mr Plinkett is getting some recognition, finally!
hm2 has been on my watch-list since i was playing the demo for the first and noticed it recommended on Xbox one. You mentioned steam which is usually my primary since I'm a PC. I was just a bit put off since hm1 + hm2 on actually making a purchase because of all the add-on stuff that makes my head spin because almost nobody seems to know how to make or sell a whole game anymore at least "triple-a". I liked absolution and the previous titles so thanks for the heads up on the "GOTY Legacy Pack" kinda clears things up for me. I just have one question. Would you recommend purchasing and playing HM1 first or just skip it and get HM2?
I like this video. It's a reflection of the love letter that Hitman is. Edit: Also it reminded me to play the game. After Blood Money, i couldn't find another good Hitman game, and now i have and can play it.
Hitman 2016/2018 are just wonderful experiences. I have played an untold amount of hours on these games and just earlier today I played through Sapienza and discovered that if I set off a fire alarm on the back of the lab the tech's inside will vacate the premises and make it pain free to destroy the virus --- i've played these games and this specific map for 3 years and never even clued in. It's a game that truly does reward experimentation and creativity.
I got the Hitman 1 Definitive Edition on disc....kinda wish its levels transferred to Hitman 2 when I bought it...
I already got Hitman 1 (2016). What exactly should I buy now? I'm so confused about this game's system of purchase
You're the first person I've come across that recognizes the distraction of hud elements. My friends all think I'm crazy.
I just found another george that is just another metal gear fan that streams all metal gear all the weeks , george's unite!
This is a better review than a review done by anyone at Kotaku
I don't think it was smart of anyone to release at xmas time the year Red Dead Redemption 2 came out. Timing is what will hurt Hitman, not the quality. People will be busy with Red Dead. Most people can't play two single player games at the same time.
Anyway, I love Hitman. Great series.
I can't stand that these new hitman games are bound to an online server... These games will literally vanish one day :/
Is there a way for people to just rip the levels out and copy them onto disks?
@@chrisossu2070 you mean like a repacked pirate version? Sure
So what’s on the disc if you buy it for, say, PS4?
The game can be played offline. And it was even cracked already so it can be played offline. So much for disappearing due to always online.
@@OveRaDaMaNt Offline playthroughs (and by extension the cracked game) has none of the unlocks, mission trackers, and more. That will all disappear when the servers go dark, as that stuff is always online. The maps won't disappear, but many of the features will
The blood moon has arrived, a new George video
Okay so I've never played a Hitman game. I'm not huge on stealth but George's depictions are always compelling and I do enjoy the environment design I've seen. I had completely forgotten this game was out after seeing some demos near E3. And every time someone talks about it or I see an article about it I need to spend time figuring out if they're talking about the new game or the older. And after all the debacles with DLC in the last game, I wasn't even sure whether I could get this entire game in one purchase (which, as a newcomer, still entails a high asking price for a game I'm not sure I'll enjoy). Or given this review, whether I should be getting the first one as well? The point?
In some ways, it really doesn't matter how much this series appeals to fans; its already niche audience appears to have shrunk with the DLC debacles that do the double duty of making it confusing to newcomers who want to try the game. The gameplay, I'm sure, may be much more accessible than ever. The game however, looks like it is not. The fact that he needs to spend 2 minutes at the end explaining how to get into it, in a way that... to be honest, I'm just too stupid to understand.
I'm not a stealth gamer. I'm borderline on whether I'd enjoy this. So having to know which edition to buy and knowing I'll still end up spending what equates to 4 good indie titles to see if I'll like it? I feel like a lot of potential buyers went through this thought process and maybe concluded as I do that... I'm not sure I can justify buying it.
I dunno, just wanted to share that opinion *shrug
I wound up buying this on the Steam sales thanks to this video and the game is actually really fun, so thanks for that.
"That is egregious. That is putrid." That's how you described the business practices of the always-online single player game last time.
This can't be game of the generation if future generations won't be able to play it properly. It really is tragic. It's honestly aastounding how just one single factor ruined the entire game. I don't care how good it is (the fact that it's good makes me angrier), if a single-player game holds it's players hostage, then that's unforgivable.
this is the review we deserve, but not the one we need.
Have a happy Christmas S.B
You da besht
whats your opinion on styx shards of darkness?
Bless You, Our Lord of the Georgesocks. I've been considering getting this, but I wasn't sure the best way to go about it as I missed (deliberately; I did not like what Squeenix was trying to do with it) Hitman 1. Now I have it answered.
These Hitman games are pure genius. Funny and suspenseful at the same time and drowning in gameplay options and angles. Beautifully crafted maps. Huge depth of sub plots and npc dialogue. The developers are so talented it's filthy.
Can you do a video about the games that are released today?
Well, you’ve convinced me. Downloading the game and the legacy pack as I’m typing.
I'm a simple woman. I see the best friends break up, I unsubscribe from super bunnyhop.
