At first, I was like "this game is shit" to "this game looks awesome" to "actually it's shit" and so on. | ||

biggest problem: areas are pretty small and there is no real sandbox feeling to it, making it linear and story-driven for the "modern gamer", as tb calls it. no one ever gave a fuck about the hitman story ffs, and what is up with that wallhack and the other stealth action mechanics? its totally out of place. i must say as an oldschool hitman fan i am extremely disappointed. probably still gonna get it, its just an impression after all and i want to make up my own opinion. its the glorious hitman franchise after all, right? :< | ||

I've completed the tutorial on purist. I managed to get to the end without being detected at all, but the last bit there are four guards. Tediously I had to distract each one into the vicinity and then knock them out. Also, there are two gripes I have with the tutorial: the linearity of it. There is a greenhouse that has one entrance, and so that eliminates "suit only" usage. Obviously this is without any instinct, so I can't magic my way in past the guards. The other grip is that the silencer on the silverballer isn't really that silent. I'm still enthusiastic, and it was still fun despite those two gripes. Oh, Absolution differs in a very big way from Blood Money on disguises. In Absolution let's say you have a group of private security. Getting into their uniform is only useful from afar, otherwise close encounters it would be better to disguise as a chef, or something unique. Commonality seems to be detrimental rather than camouflaging. Edit: Purist is... No Interface (Except weapon selection and crosshair) No Instinct No Tips Something else I can't remember. | ||

Any more updates as to impressions so far ? Purist sounds like something way out of my league.. | ||

Screw HUD's, intuition, etc. No looking through walls, and constantly getting busted/killed. So far enjoying the game. Dunno if it'll ever live up to the earlier games (which I used to absolutely love back in day), but seems good enough entertainment. | ||

I'm something like 6/20 according to main menu and so far the game has been pretty nice though a bit too cramped, one part I didn't like at all was with all the police, it felt so forced and un-hitmanlike or maybe I'm just biased due the actual kill missions being so fun. | ||

Tried few what other people had made, some of them are very simplistic and obviously made during the tutorial just to get past it, while most seem to range from decent to interesting. Though I'm not sure if the search system and money system live up to rest of it. I think the downside of the current system to show a contract during menu is, it only shows featured contracts (at least for me so far) and I'd really like a way to hop into random one faster than spamming search. | ||

The instinct system has no business being in Hitman. A lot of fans are hating on the check point system and I myself don't particularly have an issue with it but I do understand where everyone is coming from. There are quick time events. Disguises were made useless to fit with the new focus on small, corridor based levels. 5/10 for the impressive graphics and the cool ranking system for single player. That is the only interesting idea they brought to the table with Absolution, everything else is a HUGE step backwards from Blood Money. I blame Call of Duty, everything needs to be simple and dumb for mass market appeal. these days. | ||

The characters all act like complete idiots and the story telling in general is amateur, which only makes the fact that they stripped out all the open ended gameplay elements to focus on a more cinematic approach just that much more offensive. The graphics are very pretty but that could also have a lot to do with why everything feels so small and enclosed. The instinct system has no business being in Hitman.

It just feels clunky and strange. | ||

Level good be bigger but they are big enough, about as big as blood money and there are more of them. One of the first few games where i have to call totalbiscuit ( which i very much like )between other critics a "complete twat that doesn't understand the game and hasn't played previous games from the series enough". I could see how someone who started with 47 and still thinks of that above BM might think this is only average for hitman but as someone who "grew" with blood money and loves that best i believe this is their best game so far from what iv played. Not to mention the graphics, the sounds and the lighting. Love this game and will happily waste hours upon hours onto it. Don't like the fact that they added "story" and try to make 47 look more human and what not... but story is something I didn't care about much in hitman anyway and as long as 47 stays bad ass i don't have any major complain about that. | ||
