As usual. Happens in every blogpost with each Twitch Drop, even when they aren’t reactivating the old Drops either (not sure if thats the case or not in April this time yet).

The suit is kinda weird. Not the worst, but the design could have been made better, imo. Would’ve been better to get the Bank Robber and yellow bird guard from Blood Money as replacements for this suit.

Also, they’re deviating very slightly off the usual order of the ETs. But not by much.
Usually The Serial Killer would be before The Rage. So they’ve skipped that one and just continued on with the usual order.

Kinda agree with that. Given the “bend it like 47”, maybe David Beckham? 
I actually really like the baller and will definitely become a go to for me. I appreciate having another ornate one like the floral which is what I almost always use now. Yeah it’s a reskin, but we are so past the point of bloat now it doesn’t really matter (but an inventory UI update is desperately needed).
And now that we have the Cherry Blossom baller, I fully expect the Honeycomb baller next roadmap 
The suit is bizarre though I actually don’t hate it? But still I’d rather something a bit more interesting, either a nice new stylish suit (eg Solstice) or an even more goofy costume - this feels kinda just in the middle, didn’t go either way with it and not much to it. I don’t really get the egg hunt connection either, am I missing something?
The FC batches should be good, shame mine and Quartz Tan’s got delayed, but that’s fine they’ll turn up. I have no idea what the bandit one is.
The twitch coin feels like an intentional joke, which is weird after the purple baller was actually quite a nice unlock.

But then again, ET hasn’t changed much since the second year.
Even Black Hat, Twin, Fugitive, etc. that were there in the first year have not come.
In that sense, 5Years ET lineup is not at all surprising or interesting.
I would like to see a little more uniqueness in the lineup and order from year to year.

Yeah I totally agree, I honestly wonder how they prioritize things because some bugs have literally been reported for months at this point but all we get are model tweaks and typo corrections. And despite featuring FCs with the flamingo guy as a thumbnail it looks like the display bug on his mugshot when he’s a target in contracts hasn’t been fixed yet

Okay-ish roadmap.
The highlight for me is that suit. Cool to have a balaclava suit option for all our TF2 Spy/Payday 3 inspired shenanigans, it’s such a simple thing but I really like it. I appreciate that the balaclava’s design is “lowkey”, the penguin motif is not overdone so the suit is not overtly goofy or too Fortnite-esque to enjoy. Would still love to have a more properly “serious” variant of it further down the road though, with different suit colors and no orange beak.
Edit - Nevermind this suit is FUGLY it has those dumb flamingo feet from Miami according to the leaks section, that singlehandledly ruins that suit entirely…SAD!
Pinkballer looks nice too, and I actually don’t mind that the Twitch item this time around, that coin looks too minimalistic but it kinda works for me. The soccer shoe is such an out-of-left-field option though, doesn’t feel too fitting to have an item like that in a Hitman game.
Sean Bean again is ok. ET selection is ok. Featured Contracts are all fun as always. The “Play for free” stuff is eh since I already own them, good for Starter Pack players I guess but for everyone else it’s just roadmap filler. Minimal/zero bug fixes = dissapointing.
I wish we could unlock the suit right now instead of having to wait so long for it…
PSVR2 Launch
Oh right. THAT is a thing…
If you ask me, IO is WAY too insistent on trying to make Hitman VR a thing.
Surely fourth time’s the charm, now…
Saddens me that Dual Wielding is a VR exclusive feature

Wow, looks like to be quite a season of new things! I never ever would have seen that ‘boot’ coming as an item unlock. Wow, just wow 
I really like the pistol, it’s very cool and can’t wait to add it to my collection!
I wish I saw this live but I was sleeping after a very long and difficult night shift, oh well, I’m seeing it now! Thank you to everyone for a great reading experience!

I admire your tracking of the ET lists for every year. And yeah, to just randomly deviate by one missing ET from the usual track is odd. What about if they used a randomiser system and just pooled together all of the game’s ETs inside it and then it’d be truly a randomised experience!
tbf it’s not just spaming the solstice suit, i also spam the butcher suit

It is long over the soltice suit could be contained into the leaks section where it actually belongs.

With my luck it will be an unlock.
But my wish of swapping the obsolete Season 2 ET lapel pin for a providence one 
won’t.
Because it’s the essential part of my wish.
(I sincerely think it would make it better and more resonant to the larger community)
Same as the coin just being added to the loot table.
Same as the RFID being suspicious.
My baseline is accomplished crushed hope.

Why aren’t they addressing the delisted DLC for the freelancer weapon wall? This is ridiculous. It doesn’t take any time at all to put together a separate DLC with only the weapons or the whole thing with the actor replaced by an NPC. People don’t like unobtainable content.
The Twitch drops should be sold as a pack too for completionists who want nothing to do with Twitch.
