Can we take a moment to recognize how fucking based the new Hitman games are? (hexbear.net)

They have always been about killing objectively awful people but the third mission in the first of the reboot trilogy is literally about killing a corrupt banker and a reactionary general involved in what is heavily implied to be a color revolution bankrolled by Swedish capitalists and the CIA.

The game has a weird always online component to it

This is the sole reason I never played them. I really hate that always-online bullshit, it makes me really wary about why it's necessary and another one of those creeping anti-end-user aspects of gaming that I fear will become something everyone just accepts despite not wanting it. After buying one of the Hitman games and then finding out I was not allowed to play a single player campaign without going and staying online (which I rarely do as a console user with a shitty connection anyway) I just chalked it up to a lost twenty bucks and vowed not to ever make that mistake again. Which really sucks because it sounds like the kind of game I could really enjoy getting into - for the overall stealth gameplay, but now also because of what Nakoichi and MolotovHalfEmpty are saying about it which sounds awesome.

So I'm really glad to hear there is such a thing as peacock, it makes me happy that someone made it. And I'd use it in a heartbeat, but again as a console user, I'm sure there's still no way for me to take advantage of it. doggirl-gloom

The always online thing is mostly just for the player generated contracts and the rogue like mode where you can't save scum which makes for a MUCH different experience. I am currently on a fuck my rating play of the main campaign where I try to rely on disguises as little as possible and instead just emphasize letting the silenced pistol speed run me through it which is fun. I have a general rule to not kill innocent proles and that is it.
