The gear + suits stuff and the magician suit unlock alone are enough for me to be happy with this roadmap. Twitch drop is a tad.. sigh, why no purple streak hackl to go with the briefcase… a purple banana doesn’t even make sense! At least green grapes are real. But oh well, overall this seems cool for me. ---

I really don’t think IOI cares about the same kind of game balance we care about. 47 moves way too fast and can react way too quick. Aiming your gun used to take nearly half a second, now it’s near instant. 47 can disengage from any choice near instantly. Terrible for a stealth action game, but great for a speedrunning sandbox game as is. We aren’t the target audience anymore (or atleast I’m not) and they don’t care about what we think because we bring no value to the game like speedrunners and themed meme items do (attention and therefore more sales). It’s really just not our type of game anymore, GOTY edition was a pretty big canary in the coal mine in hindsight. I think the item is fine in the current design because we know speedrunners probably love it, so it will _never_ be changed. Sorry for the doomerism, but I’ve accepted this game has turned into something that’s not for me a long time ago and playing blood money here recently made me realize just by how much again. ☹ I still look forward to the ETs though, watch speedrunners and buy all the packs on release like a whale, so IOI still has me, but yeah lol ---

Facts If you want to lose even more faith, take a look at new dlcs they released this season, this is just sad to see in game like Hitman ---

So much gloom and doom. I didn’t expect a decade after H1 to even be seeing updates to the game at all. Not everything is going to be for everyone. ---

Im _fine_ with this, broadly, the mission is good and all this stuff is on brand… but if they do anything like this again it’ll be a shark jump ---

Just played this. The mission is okay. The added basement with all its obscure suprises was pretty funny. The dialogue was terrible lol. GenZ brainrot dogshit. For the rest it’s pretty alright. It will keep you entertained for a day. ---

I get the point is you’re meant to find them annoying, but imo Hitman missed the opportunity to INVENT slang for this mission ---

i hated those 2 guys following Colton around decent mission but the special mission has too little challenges Again i hope this leads into other content creators like callmekevin or cheru having elusive targets or something similar (just no more brainrot dialogue please) ---

Terrible for a stealth action game, but great for a speedrunning sandbox game as is. Are those bad things? Those always felt like QOL adjustments to make the game better, iterative differences to improve the feel of the game. The climbing is always brought up as another change to gameplay, but again the climbing always felt _so slow_ in Hitman 2016 and 2 that players dreaded it. These changes benefit more than one party, and are a general net-good to make the game snappier and more fun to play for everyone. Again, I don’t even think this was motivated by speedrunners, just general fixing of hated mechanics. > [@maxmods](#): > > I think the item is fine in the current design because we know speedrunners probably love it, so it will _never_ be changed. I don’t agree. The Balloon seems more like deliberate newbie bait so they feel fast and accomplished something, not speedrunners. @chuckmcgillgaming 's idea of making it a slippey water puddle sounds like a good idea. Rather ironic considering they don’t like participating in balance discussions. > [@blutgeld](#): > > So much gloom and doom. I didn’t expect a decade after H1 to even be seeing updates to the game at all. Not everything is going to be for everyone. I mean, I could say that about a number of games, but Hitman gets updates because it’s what IOI is known for by most players in the gaming space for the longest time. This ET definitely isn’t for me, but I don’t think saying that “we’re lucky we have any content a decade later” is all that good as a defense, it just shields the mission from valid criticisms from those who have problems with it (and outsaide of the cringey voice lines, I do have issues with the mission on a mechanical level unrelated to Jack). Yes, there are personal issues I have, but also more objective issues as well. > [@Danger\_dog\_guy\_7](#): > > The dialogue was terrible lol. GenZ brainrot dogshit. Yeah, I just felt old hearing all of it. The one time I laughed at it was when Colton got told off. But again, the mission isn’t aimed at me for it’s humour choices, so I’m biased in that department. > [@chuckmcgillgaming](#): > > I’ve been saying for years too if the E-Phone wasnt an accident and was like the molotov where the fire kill is a fire cosmetically but registers as “Any Method” in game rules it’d be a fine unlock I agree. It would keep it in line with the explosive phone too, but you’d have a more quiet kill method than the explosive phone. ---

How do you even trigger the game to start? I’m clearly missing something obvious af.
