My point being, if BM had been an actual failure, IOI wouldnât have bothered to continue it, even six years later. The reason they did is because it was so well regarded by the fan base that they felt they could safety make another. What this forum thought doesnât matter; lots of things and opinions were different more than 15 years ago. What the wider Hitman and general gamin communities thought is what mattered. And to this day, those communities believe BM was, for a long time, one of the best, if not the best game in the series. Majority rules and all that.

Damn, imagine getting that one shopping cart that has 4 broken wheels

Good thing that didnât happen here. 
Imagine getting that very first shopping cart ever made, and while it has potential, itâs otherwise almost a total bust, so they keep making new carts to fix everything wrong with it, and two decades later itâs successors are lauded by the industry.

Can we all just agree Absoluion is the worst and all the other games are fine

Nope, because I would say Absolution ranks above the first 3 games and below the other 4.
Although, credit where itâs due, Contracts holds the best mission and 47/Diana conversation in franchise history to this day.

By that logic, Absolution, which was unarguably a failure in a lot of ways and wasnât warmly embraced, should have been the last game in the franchise. Reality is, such a big IP as Hitman will always have new entries until some corporate fuckheads decide that itâs not worth investing in. At least thatâs my way of looking at it.

Point is taken. Not quite, but a contender, it is true.
What ways?
And perhaps it wasnât quite as hated as people claim. Keep in mind, Hitman fans are not the only ones to have acceptable input on the series. Absolution seems to suffer from Nickelback Syndrome: everyone claims itâs terrible, everyone claims to hate it⌠so where does the financial success come from?
And yes, though it underperformed from what was hoped for, it was a financial success.
Can you gimps please take it to the appropriate thread?

I agree with the rubber duck sentiment, we donât need any more rubber duck items, and yet people in the forums keep asking for them (and so IO keeps following through on them). I think we are at the end of it now with the outfit (which compared to the weapons, isnât that bad).
But I would prefer that in future games, if we get a rubber duck as an unlock, that it mainly sticks to just one item (and work like the duck in Codename 47 or the sack of gunpowder in this game, where you have to shoot it for it to explode).
