    top 10 games ever and i played countless games. from the start menu you can tell the atmosphere of this game it had the minimalistic digital dystopian future aesthetic like you are using strictly effecient high tech which matches the stoic cold almost machine like nature of agent47 mix that with the religious music that gives soul to the husk .
    mechanically the slow animations and walking speed of agent 47 fits the grounded pace and level design because it immerses you in the role of a classy assasin trying to assassinate someone in a social setting without getting noticed or leaving any trace behind , this is how the game should be played and the secret 'real '' hard difficulty '' intentionally designed to be self imposed by the players while the menus difficulty is just surface level since players can brute force any level with the amount of tools and weapons available and this freedom is what makes this game so fun and replayable . these small levels are puzzles that can be solved in countless solutions because of the many routes and interactivity of tools and elements between eachother .and when it all clicks while that perfectly fitting music is playing its hard to find a game as moody atmospheric and immerive even modern games with fancy graphics cant match that. its not just the reactive AI and creative tools and but also the little touches of real artists with a vision like the characters design and slow pace and last breath slow motion or the news paper and weapon design ..ect i can go all day. finally my biggest gripe about this game is that it wasnt long enough not even long enough for notoriety system to be relevent . in my first playthrough by the time i reached the last mission i thought i wasnt even 1/4 far into the game . right when i was starting having fun it abruptly ended just like all masterpieces but ill always choose quality over quantity.

      I would go crazy for a Blood Money expansion pack. Very same game, just new and well-done levels. They should make a system so that the fans themselves can create new levels and upload them on a server so others can download them, with the support of graphic modelers, artists, programmers etc., and a rating system that highlights the most appreciated levels so you know which are the better ones to download. I think a lot of gamers would gladly spend money on something like that.

      The newer hitman games are exactly that. I'm not sure why people crap all over them so much. They more or less play the same way minus a few small nit picks. Blood money is still my favourite but I would be a liar if I said the newer ones weren't better games. They refined the formula and expanded on everything present in blood money.

    I don't like the episodic format of Hitman games nowadays. Instead of one mission on a gigantic map they should be doing a number of missions with a wide variety of smaller sandbox maps like in the past. It's the variety of missions that keep the Hitman games fresh and fun.

    Blood Money is an excellent game, but I wish it had at least two more customizable weapons. I wish the game had more levels, because although the first playthrough is an incredible experience, there are some levels that are more frustrating than others, I personally always had problems with Opera and Mississippi.
    I always had the thought that Contract levels should be for Blood Money.

    i'd say that the first person mode is useful in more medium-close range gun combat, because you can focus on your targets and if you're good on fps games, be more precise. First Person mode also helps with aiming at long distances (sometimes, with the sniper rifle, not using the scope is better than using it because of the lack of shaking)

    It makes me so sad blood money didn't top HItman 2 silent assassin in sales it was such a good evolution of the series giving you more options and streamlining stealth and disguises at the same time. Hitman world of assassination brought alot of aspects back but also kind of simplified some of the improvisational aspects. Its like they give you 100 scripted options instead of a more free sandbox.

    Him in the elevator, the red-haired girl on a stage accident, the singing dumb girl as soon as she is alone in a room with me ( the laptop room ), and lastly the other hitman in his own torture room. Literally, no one else was harmed and I got no silent assassin, no cameras, no witnesses, not even a yellow alert.

  • @maydaymemer4660
    @maydaymemer4660 Рік тому +3

    Good video. I have to say you got some details wrong on the story, for example the rival Agency is called The Franchise which is trying to install one of their members into the white house to ban cloning to get a monopoly on selling it. Cayne is only former FBI, and as he narrates the game he embellishes the story to make 47 look more evil or less competent. For example saying in the Murder of Crows mission he was trying to assassinate the politician the Franchise was actually gunning. This just supports your point tho that the story isnt all that rememberable
    I do prefer the new games just marginally because theres so much more to do, but Blood Money is excellent because its not just a lesser sandbox. Each level always has at least three ways to do something, three entry points into an area, three disguises you can use. So it doesnt pale in comparison to the new games because its just as dense but with more manageable levels. A detail I just recently found is that in A Vintage Year you can climb a truck onto the roof and then drop down to find a smoking wine worker for an easy disguise. Its also a game that benefits from playing it as a sandbox. For example a kill you might like in A House of Cards is if you go to the blond guy’s room you can store a bomb in his briefcase then when he meets the sheikh you can use that to blow them both up

    Hitman blood money for me wasn't fun. I don't know why but I really tried approching it with an open mind but ended up killing everyone in half of the maps. The map design range from avarage to fuck off. And I hate the ai turning around when youre sneaking behind them like what does that do other than annoy the player. And I don't get the hype around the newspaper and notoriety, if it ever gets too high I have wayy more money than i need to and make it pointless, the newspaper is fine but it doesnt add anything to the gameplay.

      ​@@AdamNotaroabsolution is more or less a very generic stealth game with annoying mechanics. Its no longer a sandbox and instead focuses on a checkpoint system. Its pretty much "here is an area full of guards now make your way across using cover" and it repeats this again and again. You do have targets but it's mostly about traversing a guarded area and not getting caught doing so. The disguise system is more or less useless because almost everyone can see through it immediately, unless you use instinct which makes 47 cover his face but its limited depending on difficulty. The one thing I really liked about absolution was its sound design for weapons and its animation work. Throwing knives at people feels great and popping heads feels really good. The point shooting is kinda cool when shit hits the fan but dosent feel super rewarding. If you like playing the game suit only with a silent assassin rating like me then prepare to wanna punch a wall. Its a fun game admittedly but its definitely the worst hitman game by a country mile due to it being boiled down to a generic stealth game. It has some merits but don't expect a blood money like experience.

    You made a mistake talking about the story, the guy who was the head of FBI is behind another cloning group called The Franchise, they want to replace the president (Smith wants you of this plot which is what the last real mission is about) so the Vice (who is a puppet for them) can outlaw cloning so they have an underground monopoly on it.
    There is a few secondary antagonists all based Mark P#.
    The first one you read about after a vintage year (also in the cutscene after tutorial), second is leading the Crows game in their assassination attempt, and the last acts as the penultimate target of the main levels, they have the motive of wanting you dead because they are jealous that you can live with free will while they are bound to help The Franchise and die bot more than 1 year after creation due to only being prototype clones.
    The FBI guy also diminishes your acts and death as sloppy to cover himself as being invested personally in your demise.
    It's actually one of the more cohesive stories in the series and did great eith setting up Absolution even if it wasn't as good as Blood Money.
