So, what’s the best target? (SPOILERS obviously)

I liked Yates. He’s your typical power hungry guy who makes the obvious choice (leave his firm to become the Constant), then another one I won’t spoil. It’s clear he believes himself to be a master of the universe, he’s in love with the sound of his own voice and even makes self deprecating jokes about his long winded speeches (which means he knows he over does it and yet he does not care) but he also takes advice from his wife whenever she so much as suggests something different from his original plan. He also has an amazing vineyard, which I’m sure is profitable, but that’s not the point. He’s an attorney first, so the vineyard is his pastime? I love all of it.

Maybe you’re right. After hearing what you said, I’m definitely more interested in the target. It’s also very cruel on my part since I killed him 10 minutes in the mission.

I can’t even replay the levels because the servers on Playstation have been down for more than 36 hours already. :cry:

(Actually not down, but a lot of users can’t connect right now and some have been having this issue since launch.)

Can you not play offline? I know it doesn’t get you unlock stuff. But just to explore and puts around, is better than no H3 at all.

I can but it’s shit.

I don’t want to elaborate on how incomplete the experience feels when playing offline.

The vineyard is his wife’s I think, I recall him saying something about in the blowing up the machinery mission story.

Don owns it and his wife runs it after her diplomat career was deliberately tanked by Don just to win a high profile case and advance his own career.

And she didn’t call the ICA to place an order? Gurl…

She doesn’t know about all of that of course. If she does find out (thanks to 47) she punts him right off a cliff I think. (I haven’t done that opportunity yet)

Maps that involve targets being eliminated by other people are always top of my list, right next to funny falling deaths xD

They reminded me of the Temple City Ambush mission in the first Hitman 2

Didn’t the temple city ambush guys have their own coding? They shot on sight, the Berlin guys are essentially always enforcers so they go through the slow process of “realising” your a bad guy and it gives you a lot of time to take them down.

Even though she’s a merciless person, she has her interesting humane parts, that show after a lifetime and knowing regret. I like how she reacts to different culprits you point out.
The best one being where you don’t lie to manipulate her and then still ask for the constant file and she recognizes you as 47. ‘i figured i’d meet you soon, but i expected you to kill me, not help me’. making the conversation very casual as she’s at peace with it. Still shows her thorns when she’s like ‘could i get you to kill the killer per chance’ lol.

Shit I didn’t mean to vote her for worse target

I may be alone with this though in my opnion the worst Target is Imogen Royce. Her Design is just so over the Top that I cannot take her serious. She’s kind of a Vetrova Clone, which may also seem this way, because she has the same voice actress.

I much rather would have the Guide be the Target, since she seemed much more intresting and could’ve also been the first Target who you should maybe wait to kill, since she brings you inside the Facility, oh well.

I’d say Edwards if he was in a proper sandbox mission, for me a good target isn’t just an interesting character, they have to be good gameplay-wise. I might change my opinion when I get to play Mendoza and Dartmoor more, damn servers, but for now I’m saying Stuyvesant. I have to say he’s even sympathetic in some way, unlike Ingram who is just a jerk.

The worst ones are undoubtedly the agents. No personality, very few interesting opportunities.

For some reason I like Ingram. He’s just so comically grumpy, stupid and greedy.

Did anyone feel there weren’t actually that many targets this time around? Not counting bonus missions, in Hitman 2016 there were 16 targets, in Hitman 2018 there were 17, but in Hitman 2021 there are only 8 who are fully fleshed-out (I’m being a bit unfair here as I’m not counting the Berlin assassins, but they seem more like upgraded guards to me)

Story-wise, Arthur Edwards is my fave target, but gameplay-wise, he’s dull and stationary. The same could be said for Soders, but at least with him there are multiple approaches and methods.

Oh, well, It’s still a wonderful game.

Not counting bonuses, it was a 2 2 2 2 4 2 so 14 not 16.

Not counting bonuses, it was a 1 2 3 3 2 2 so 13 not 17.

You can’t dismiss 11 people. At least the main 5, not counting the other 6.

I didn’t exactly get what you’re trying to say, but I assume you meant easy. If easy, they weren’t easier than Janus or the Hawke’s Bay dude, were they?

I enjoy making him mad by causing ruckus, otherwise he’s quite boring in my opinion.

ICA facility, New York and Haven are still main missions, not bonus. Despite the ICA missions being tutorials, of course.

This would have been neat, especially if we also got a scripted opportunity to snipe them both, maybe from where Agent Tremaine is.
