Hitman Mission Championship - Heat TDY

@TheContractor

A Bitter Pill is a decent mission. It’s not offensively bad

Decent=/=Good

@TheContractor

Dare we make an unholy alliance? I’d be willing to sacrifice my beloved SF for Himmelstein

I didn’t really expect you to sacrifice SF,but OK,I accept it.

Decent mission = Good special assignment

Nightcall is good for what it is (a much better training than H2016)

I think you are the first person I’ve seen have that opinion.

I was under the impression that 2016’s tutorial is objectively the best in the series. I mean, it literally teaches the player everything without dumbing it down and treating them like an idiot.

Nightcall, on the other hand, is a fine mission on its own but I refuse to call it a serviceable tutorial. The developers clearly expected people to already have the hang of the game mechanics upon launching Hitman 2.

@eydontactdumb

I think you are the first person I’ve seen have that opinion.

I actually started writing a whole bunch of paragraphs justifying why Hawke’s Bay was better. But as I got towards the bottom I realised it’s really not and I was conflating my enjoyment of its tone and objective layout with its quality as purely tutorial. So yeah, better mission imo, but worse tutorial, and I’ve amended my original comment to reflect that

@TheContractor

Nightcall is alright (it has great mood and pacing but isn’t the best tutorial)

One thing I love about this thread is how it makes me examine my own beliefs/bias about these games and how easy it is to think ‘I like’ = ‘Is good’

Silver Tongue utilised a stupidly small part of the map where it felt like it missed huge potential.
A Bitter Pill at least made sense to focus on one house, and was the best of all the SA

So this is this thread’s version of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and SF is Poland now… I’m curious whether there will be a Barbarossa-like move in the future

How @MrOchoa probably feels when he sees someone add points to Another life:

Seriously though,why all this hate for Whittleton Creek?

Mumbai is a great map, but the main mission just takes too long. Way too much going on.

@IlikeHitman

Seriously though,why all this hate for Whittleton Creek?

Boring Targets, Retcons, boring Setting, the fucking clue-hunt. Its also just a rehash of A new Life, obviously in Name and Setting, its like the devs pat you on the head and say ‘you remember Blood Money, right? Everyone likes Blood Money, right?’. I’m probably just bitter because they cater too much to BM Fans

I don’t expect anyone else to understand this, but thats how i feel about it

[Khakiasp]

i indeed wanna see the world burn, i just cant accept my darling mumbai to be behind miami

[Bad_Stu]

Out of curiosity, what’s the retcon?
I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad level, but it’s pretty underwhelming when you realise only about 6 houses are explorable. Plus it was the map that made me take my PS4 apart and reapply thermal pads, because I couldn’t hear the dialogue over the fans going into overdrive

@Bad_Stu

That Providence was involved in Ort-Meyers Experiments, they don’t even mention the Five Fathers there
