Hitman 2016 for me.
Every level of Hitman 2016 will make me go in a different mind set to play them. H2 and H3 can be played without changing it across their levels.
And Hitman 2 is the lowest for me on that front.
Hitman 2016 has the best “this is a game with a progression and changes in the levels of the campaign”.
Paris is the presentation. Sapienza and Marrakesh are the Archetypes. Bangkok is Paris but Hard™, Colorado is a social formula twist, Hokkaido is a final test.
Hitman 2 is the more diverse theme wise.
But strangely enough everything is so much high production that it all blends together. It’s the game that suffers the most from “follow the script”, and of “we found the formula”. Due to incentives, most rooms and situations ends up single purpose, frequently an orthodox one, and the game silenced the multi-angle modular gameplay.
Hitman 3 refined everything, is the best at the Swiss cheese part of the design, and the application of the WoA formula on it smaller gameplay loops. It’s great, and frequently heights of the trilogy. But diverse it is not (if slightly more than H2 in the main objectives and main condition.). It’s all safe.

I agree that the 2016 maps were more interesting in their mechanics, routing, and the availability of both targets and equipment. Even Colorado, for all the dislikes it tends to get, is an interesting map and nicely explores the idea of “what if the whole map is hostile and trigger happy?”
Hitman 2 though does offer a more diverse set of maps than the first game did. The stark differences between Hawkes Bay with its mostly empty beach and Isle of Sgail with its verticality are obvious. All of the Hitman 2 maps are somewhat unique in their design - more so, in my opinion, then either of the other two games.
I actually enjoy the Hitman 3 maps more overall (despite Whittleton Creek remaining my favorite of the trilogy) but the Hitman 2 maps are arguable more diverse.

What is your preferred method to kill Wade in Absolution?
- Confront him and shoot him.
- Burn him with the boiler.
- Both. Burn him with the boiler, and while he’s writhing and screaming, shoot him.

As someone who prefers 47’s perfect, targets-only style even when he’s not on an official contract, I always preferred using the boiler… until I read someone’s walkthrough online where they used the boiler and shot Wade while he was still standing. Couldn’t believe I’d never thought of it before, and it’s been my favorite way ever since.

I always preferred to confront my targets when possible, making 47’s face the last thing they see. Especially if the target and 47 got history, like Janus, Ort-Meyer. Other times it’s just thrilling to toy with them, like Agent Montgomery and Jordan Cross.

Not including the first two Deadpool movies, I feel like they’re more their own thing.
Not sure these are technically X-Men movies as they’re not about the X-Men, but since they are featured in them, it’s close enough I guess.
Yeah I chose to count Wolverine movies as X-Men movies. I didn’t do the same for Deadpool because he wasn’t featured in X-Men (2000). Went by the wiki
FWIW, I go by the Capcom vs games. That’s where most of my “Marvel knowledge” comes from.

So I actually just went back and rewatched several X-Men films after having seen Deadpool and Wolverine. I hadn’t seen the first two in honestly more than 20 years, that was fun. It’s worth noting that they’re basically the first two real superhero movies of the modern age (aside from Blade, but I kind of see him as more… vampire than hero? idk). My takeaway is that they’re incredibly charming, the first in particular moved along at a rocket pace and I was shocked at how simple and stripped down it was. That said, after having gone through all of the “good” ones (ie skipping X3, Apocalypse etc), the best ones to me were far and away Days of Future Past and Logan.
I will say though, it is a major buzzkill getting to the end of a good X-Men movie and immediately getting a “DIRECTED BY BRYAN SINGER” tag slammed in your face. They should honestly make edits replacing his name with a black screen or something.

Is there even a question?
The most convincing story, the most popular and professional actors, the most realistic script, the most lifelike costumes, the most, the most, the most…
Of course the original and the best trilogy whatsoever with Maguire, Dunst, Franco, Dafoe and others.
I mean come on!

I know energy drinks are supposed to be extra stimulative but Dr. Popp… I dunno, it just hits right at the head you know.

Fountain View with Vanilla.
Edit: Maybe there aren’t any cans for that, but there are definitely machines. Of the 4 I think I’d like to try Thwack. Seems like it might be fruity. 
Edit 2: Oh yeah, there are also some machines in Hokkaido.
Edit 3: Next time I’m in the game I’ll need to use the camera, zoom into the cans and see what they say. 
Edit 4: Update. Nothing special. They’re each a low-rez generic label that are the same on each can, just with different colors.

We got elusive and celebrity targets but would you be interested in seeing HMF members as targets? We create our own profile and one lucky person can be selected to add their own likeness as a future target. Sounds good?
