It’s too bad people like Hitler, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, etc. died. 
Only flag this if you’re oblivious to the idea of facetiousness.

Hell Pol Pot was arrested and then died of heart failure because he was 73 and fragile as fuck. Some say he killed himself to avoid capital punishment but this hasn’t been confirmed by an academic body.

Hm, it’s been almost two years since the last time I’ve played it. It has some good missions so I’ll have to do another playthrough when I get back to my PC. 
I’m never that certain about the best mission, but currently my top 5 would be:
- Blackwater Park
- The King of Chinatown
- Hunter and Hunted
- Death Factory
- Shaving Lenny

End of the road is memorable to me too.
Since it’s the shortest mission.

humanity has a reached a new low
In all seriousness though, it’s a pretty great level - I don’t know if it’s my favorite because I am terrible with favorites, but it’s good

unsurprisingly i wasn’t a fan. they were thinly veiled corridors.
wasn’t a huge fan of the sexy s&m nuns either, but that’s more to do with their context in the game rather than anything else.

fight night because of how stupid a concept it was, and how fun it was. we’ll probably never see something like it again the series. in it, he rips off his mask and therefore blows his cover in front of a packed crowd?? just to what…make a point? and those target locked shorts will always be unforgettable

The BDSM nuns were pretty stupid - but that’s as far as my problems with it go. You’re free to differ, of course.
IO-Interactive devs actually toned the level down after receiving backlash as I’m sure some of you know - it makes me slightly curious as to what it was like originally, but at the same time I’m not sure I’d want to know.

That was remarkable restraint by IO, here I was thinking they actually did all they could to make the game bad. Nice to know they refrained for once.

it’s not so much that they’re stupid. i like stupid stuff. they’re just symptomatic of absolution’s main aesthetic issue: it was confused about what it wanted to be. it wore the dressing of ‘splotation films and revelled in all the sexiness and murder, while simultaneously having a very staid, conservative/traditional subtext. the nuns were ‘baddies’ because they were ‘deviants’ - all the bad guys were in one way or another - while the ‘goodies’ were literally a chaste, (almost) pious, family unit. it was very weird and off-putting for me.

It’s subjective - but that is part of why I consider the nuns stupid - all I mean by that is that they as a concept were not a very smart thing to introduce.
This is true - the writers had many well-formed ideas and plotlines. In the end it was a bit of a hacked-together job (though one I still love despite the popular Absolution hate) the subtext is a matter of interpretation (everything is for that matter), though I do partially agree with that.

sure is. i can’t talk for anyone else apart from me. even then… 
i’d be interested in any other readings, but that seems the most obvious to me. oddly, i’ve not seen any discussion about it, just the crassness.
but yeah, definitely a “new low” for hitman-ity
this is where you lost me (even when you already didn’t have me apparently 
)

I love this take. Diana the mother, keeping Victoria the child safe until her father 47 can take over.

it’s a cool central set-up they had going that adds 47 to the ‘sad dad’ list… but i’d like it a lot more if the game didn’t come across so aggressively sex-negative and pervy at the same time
