A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

You're talking about the IO interactive Hitman games, right? Can you play them offline yet? The games look very good but this has kept me from buying them.

The fans have made a local server replacement to emulate unlocks and such. It even lets you run the old timed FOMO missions, so it's technically superior to playing online.

Sort of? The main campaign is playable but not the other game modes, and you can’t progress location mastery or get unlocks. The game also differentiates offline and online save files and you can’t go between them. It’s by far my least favourite part of this game. It’s one of my all time favourites but the online semi-requirement is awful. I really wish they’d change it.
