I love this series. I don't know why but when Jon plays games that he really knows well it is much more fun to watch. For example this series where he shows different ways to do a mission and has fun showing his knowledge of it all, or in Fallout where he's dedicated multiple series showing just how much is in the game and how fun it can be.
Genuninely one of (if not the) best channels on TH-cam. Thank you.
"Hello fellow ninja. How are you enjoying... ninja-ing? I'm certain enjoy being a ninja. Cowabunga and all of the things The Turtles said..." 10/10! Totally believable! Absolutely uncanny!
Did you know in Japan, if you go to one of the old castles in Kyoto they actually squeak like that. So this game actually did its research. They were made to do that on purpose so they would know if they had an intruder, mainly during the night.
Profesour - That's fucking cool
@@MrDoctorColossus seriously like WOAH cool
Close Encounters mean that somebody pointed a gun at you, not that you almost got caught.
As terrified as these targets might be in there final moments that is NOTHING compared to my fear of what Jon will put out for this Fourth of July.
He's not American, why would he even bother with your holiday?
Check Twitter. He has something planned.
clearspira A large part of Jon's audience is American, and 4th of July videos can get plenty of views doesn't matter if he is American.
Also Jon loves explosions... Enough said?
clearspira He was right!
Thinks to myself, "another Hitman for this evening would be fantastic!"
Notification pops up.
Well, thanks I guess. ^^
This game has one of the best soundtrack in any game.
Not true.
@Julkke Very true... Jesper Kyd did an excellent job with all the Hitman games he produced music for as the music matched every mission in my opinion...
Very true.
Ahh, the dreaded japanese levels in hitman 2...
Kudos to the people who were able to get SA without looking it up in a guide!
pincset, suit only?
Michael Kunath silent assassin it was rage inducing how hard it was
thank you for noticing how hard it was for me to finish it without a guide
Assassinating Hayamoto's son was my favorite Japan mission in Hitman 2. I found the other three too big of a step in difficulty this early in the game. I somehow managed to SA that level my first try, and was a really cool assassination.
I do hope you'll have a look at Hitman Contracts after this. :)
That is one of my favorite Hitman games... I love the atmosphere in that game and also I love the way they remade some of the missions from Hitman: Codename 47 as well...
God I have so much nostalgia for this game I used to play it all the time when I was like 10 to 13 lol I mastered a few levels on Silent Assassin but this game was brutal
I’ve only ever played the new Hitman and this series is like a crash course in how and why the game is like it is. Thanks Jon!
This is the only Hitman I've ever played. It truly was an intense study in planning and execution. Well done, chief 😉
Having only ever played one hitman game - to completion when I was about 15 - I'm pretty glad it was this one because otherwise it'd be missing out otherwise.
...now I can't help but wonder how Andy Farrant - who aims for Silent Assassin in every OXbox three ways to play - would do vs the game of the name.
Older video, but good that you mention the music and its themes in Russia vs Japan. The music for Hitman 2 Silent Assassin was created by Jesper Kyd, who also did the original Hitman: Codename 47, then Contracts and Blood Money. He also did the music for Freedom Fighters (another of your fav’s, and mine), and did the music for the first 4 or so games in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. But after those first four, and after Hitman Blood Money, for some inexplicable reason Kyd and the developers of both those franchises parted ways. The music was a huge and memorable element in the games Jesper Kyd worked on, and both franchises lost something after that.
Another fun way of taking that last guy out is setting the bomb right next to where he goes to get the guidance system, I think it might even be an easier way to get the least amount of kills in that run as well.
I used to play the hell out of this game. I'm pretty sure, at some point, I've gotten Silent Assassin rating in every mission, very much thanks to TH-camrs who are much more resourceful than me. The gun collection mechanics, combined with the limitations how many weapon you can carry (only 1 large weapon at the time), gave the incentive to finish certain levels multiple times to get all the different weapons to your collection.
Operator: Agent 4tyJon, here are th- wait, stop what are you, MY GOD JON, WHY?
Jon: WHAT AM I DOING?! WHY AM I HERE?? NONONONONONONONONONONO BULLETS SAVE ME!!!!!
I hope we get a Fallout 2 series someday.
Denver Taylor keep dreaming
This this and thrice this. Jon doing 1 was amazeballs.
ChaosTheory this comment aged like milk
'Security in this game makes sense!' >Literally Ninjas
Yakuza Warlords living in hidden castles in Japan tend to have Ninjas as guards though
literally the only hitman fan I've ever heard say something nice about the Japanese missions
oh yeah! actually never knew about the sniper rifle on that last level! literally have played this whole game and would still watch this whole series......lol
to be honest, I think the cover system is a good addition, though the "awareness" of the guards could be worked on when they aren't really sure if they just saw a grown man jump over a ledge. However, it makes sense that 47, as an assassin, would know how to take cover behind stuff.
So glad I have notifications on I love your content keep it up
nice profile pic.
I've played all the hitman games on silent assassin and I can tell you that close encounters are when you are ditected by people
I love your stuff dude, and you have a very mimicible tone of speech. Not a bad thing, but I just can't not hear it from every statement that comes out of your mouth. You're a far better gamer than I, and I thank you.
Love you Jon! You are the most amazing TH-camr and one of the best Hitman players ever if not the best!
You were supposed to plant the bomb on the helicopter?! I used it to blow Hayamoto to bits (along with the rest of the top two floors)
It makes sense that the newer games are easier since 47 has gotten better with experience
I'm pretty sure the newer ones were set further back in 47's career.
It’s clearly made of pyramids
Always fun to watch Jon complete Arizona killer
"... let's dive in to a WHOLE NEW CONTINENT..."(goes from Russia to Japan)
Jon, Russia and Japan are both in Asia. (Russia partially)
To be fair Japan is not on the same land mass
Tahstig asia is not a continent its eurasia
St. Petersburg is in European Russia and not in Asia, and Japan is an island.
@@CThyran We are both right and both wrong. Jon too. Because if that quote is direct, the "whole new continent" statement is indeed false. Cause Asia and Europe are part of Eurasia, and are not whole continents.
"Heyuuh, we have-uh some ninjaaahs, and-uhh, a little bit of danguuuhh"
Getting all zeros on these missions was a nightmare
Bo C yeah somehow when taking a safe route and need to restart, that same route is then impossible.
Michael Kunath Haha yes, especially "Hidden Valley" where the ninjas could get run over by the truck which resulted in a "+1 enemies killed" in the stat screen.
Bo C yeah either that happened or a sniper spotted me when before, he did not. Or when inside the truck that they can see you, dispite they were not supposed to be there.
Michael Kunath yupp, this game is pretty bs, but fun non the less!
Its actually easier to get to the kitchen if instead of going into the garage, you continue around the side of the complex
Where you can get a waiter disguise, then all you do is poison the food, bug it
Then leave
>takes smg
>says assault rifle
never change jon
Jon could you please play an older splinter cell game because I think you will enjoy it
wait did i just hear jon praise high profile missions? His least favourite type of hitman mission? flip this game REALLY did something right.
I’m going to miss this when it’s gone, despite the lack of a Santa Suit option.
Jon is wary of Ninjas because Claire has them secreted all over their house.
I would absolutely love to see a Tenchu playthrough on this channel. All fine and well being a badass hitman, but can you ninja?
Please Jon, make it happen??

Over there
I'll have to give the xbox version a go. I remember playing these on ps2, and you'd get suddenly spotted when you were literally nowhere near any guards.
I thought he was kidding about the ninjas, I was wrong...
I never got to this mission this game was too hard. I was also pretty young when I played this and thus, an idiot.
Jon, having the attention meter go into red doesn't necessarily equal having a close encounter. You only get a close encounter if an NPC attacks you.
cowabunga to you, fellow ninja
*Y* *A* *M* *E* *Y* *A* *M* *E*
Love you Jon!
Whats the main differences between the pc version and the improved xbox version?
Thanks for the video!
Japanese castles were built with squeaky floors, so the guards and people living inside would easily hear if someone was intruding.
Well that went well didn't it.
That's true. They were called nightingale floors.
It’s a great game, but Blood Money was still the height of the Hitman series.
@Dee Oh Dee Yeah I think in terms of the gameplay you are correct however in terms of the missions I still think Contracts and Silent Assassin had better missions... also the disguise system in Blood Money was way too lenient in my opinion as you could just run around wearing a disguise and no one ever really got suspicious of you unless you were in a area you weren't supposed to be in etc...
ur disguises seem to work fine but u keep panicking loool
Wow this upload was quick
God damn ninjas.
Tower of Strength? Don't you mean the glorious Pyramids of Strength?
Jon, think you’ll check out the Ancient Empire mod for Total War Attila? Kinda like Europa Barbarorum but for Attila.
You would have inspired me to play Hitman 2, but I'm bad enough at the new one.
You should do a Silent Assassin play-through.
It was truly a game ahead of its time. It was originally released in 2002 and ran on a PS2. I find it funny how a game that is close to 20 years old has more interesting mechanics that also add to the realism that the modern titles don't bother doing.
Fun fact you don’t have to be Japanese to be a member of the yakuza unlike you have to Italian to join the Mafia

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin - Part 3 - "Bad-Ass"
Can't really agree with the modern hitman hate. I also distinctly remember Jon praising some of the things in the new game that he's been calling bad things here.
Baeagon i don't get the hate either. It is how Hitman is supposed to be. Great open levels with tons of different options to complete it.
Yeah I agree. Having played blood money (and silent assassin and contracts after playing 2018) I think that the series is where it should be right now.
Do you have footage of the mission you skipped?
God I miss Jesper Kyd and his amazing music
Ikcatcher I never understood why Jesper Kyd was dropped from the franchise after Blood Money. His original and memorable music was *so good*, and was such a critical part of Silent Assassin, Contracts and Blood Money (and Freedom Fighters, and the first 3 or so Assassin’s Creeds). Leaving him out of Absolution and later games made no sense, and his absence was notable. The games after that missed something.
Happy Freedom Day American Jon!
It's coming home....
OHNOITSANINJA!!!
Only one kalama conscience this time around
more crusader kings 2 please
CK 2 schedule is Thursday and Sunday. There's going to be one tomorrow and according to Jon's Twitter, it's a good one.
"Oh no! It's a ninja" was a common last thought at one point in history
DID SOMEONE SAY THE TRIANGLE OF STRENGTH?
47 is a tad to slow in these older games
NANI !?!?!?!
They've taken the hitman to Isengard! (Oops I mean hidden valley.)
The most Hitman-y thing that ever Hitmanned.
I’m going to disagree on the cover mechanic criticism. I’m all for some more immersive less gamey elements or increasing the challenge a bit but honestly the ability to take cover and quickly move between cover just makes too much sense for the game. Especially over clumsily trying to maneuver behind cover and hoping that you are positioned well enough to not be spotted because a tiny bit of you happened to be sticking out and you didn’t realize. Sure it makes things a bit easier but I’d argue it’s better to sacrifice a little challenge in the name of giving the player more reliable and controllable tools. Leave the challenge to come from the mechanics, scenario, and enemies not the old school jank of outdated control schemes. The old games were good for their time but quality of life mechanics like cover systems where appropriate are welcome in newer titles.
I still think the new Hitman 2 is better
Still waiting for a fallout 3 remastered
You and me both
Insert Channel name there was a fan project that was cancelled by bethesda not too long ago
It wasn't cancelled by Bethesda. Bethesda told them the same thing they told the F4NV team: using clips of their voice actors in those games is not allowed. The F4NV team decided that that was okay, and have taken on voice actors to voice act out the entire game, but the Fallout 3 team, a much smaller team, decided that it wasn't worth the effort. Bethesda didn't cancel anything directly.
thats a porsche
back when i played this on ps2 i just shot everyone
Is it just me or are Jon's videos in general a lot darker than most youtubers?
Try adjusting the contrast or brightness on your screen.
Hi
Today on MATN: Watch old man Jon reminisce on how much better Hitman was in his day.
wait doesn't 47 have asian dna
Japanese guards are so annoying.
Can you do mortal combat Armageddon please?
I think what Jon liked was realism, but the game has become too gamified,
Japan is a continent? Lol.
FROST!!!! Frost??
That was over months ago
So this has just been a series of "Why i love bad game design" huh.
First
Really disappointed you skipped a level.
In fairness, it really is a boring level. If I'm remembering rightly, all you need to do is kill a guard, take his clothes and then slowly make your way through the tunnel and boom, level complete.
