I don't believe so. I am going to play through a purist mission or two tomorrow when I get to work as I left my system there. Purist is going to be nuts because there is no minimap D:

I thought I wouldn't really need it tonight but I really want to play some Hitman now lol

Is it worth starting on normal/hard to get a feel for the systems first though, or just dive straight in?

 

[-tetsuo-]

I started off on Expert. I wouldn't bother with normal at all, ever. You will take your lumps like I did but it has paid off.

 

[RevDM]

By the sounds of it, this game isn't worth $60 to me. I'm gonna go ahead and cancel my preorder later today and pick up Arkham city.

Ok, I have it pre-ordered for less at the moment so I think I'll wait. Do you know if there's any chance that some individual stores of bigger chains like Media Markt or Saturn sell it early? I haven't been that long in Germany yet, so maybe you have more experience in this.

Hmmm I dom't think so. Maybe saturday evening but that's just a guess. Monday evening should be safe though.

Thought as much, but thanks anyway. Don't know if I should cancel my pre-order since it's coming from the UK and could last a couple of days to arrive...

Woah graphics are insane (gras pop-in though). I just played the tutorial and already love this game. Hitman is back.

[Double D]

Anyone else that ordered through GMG know if we'll get keys before release date and, subsequently, be able to pre-load through Steam?

Cool, that's a little earlier than usual. I hate when an embargo ends after the game is released.

 

[unknownhero]

this is the one game that will, how do I say, polarize the fans. from the walkthrough I have seen, it looks more like SA than blood money especially with the disguises. Luckily, there a few great levels for contracts mode. I'm willing to bet that there will be a lot of contract assignments for(easter egg spoilers)

I love his rating system, its hilarious

My mistake, its 5 am! Not pm! :d

 

[Hindle]

I'm hoping they will listen to fan feedback when it comes to DLC. This way we will get more BM style missions.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Sooooo good. Dat possibilities. I'm in the fifth chapter after 3 1/2 hours on normal.

 

[MMaRsu]

Sooooo good. Dat possibilities. I'm in the fifth chapter after 3 1/2 hours on normal.

Normal?

Lol have fun with brain dead enemies..

Don't get me hyped again, I tempered my expectations.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Normal?

Lol have fun with brain dead enemies..

I will definately replay it on purist but I want to avoid frustration on my first run.
I can't describe how good the graphics are, holy shit.

 

[Black Republican]

There was some kind of licensing issue with some music in the game and instead of just patching the offending music out they just stopped selling the game.

what music was that?

 

[keltickennedy]

The King of Chinatown was alright, but the way the disguise system works just rubs me the wrong way.

I'm playing on hard, but expert would be crazy hard I would think, and normal too easy..

With the levels that take place in populated areas, you have to be smart and use a combination of disguise and hiding in the crowd.

 

[DukeBobby]

Normal?

Lol have fun with brain dead enemies..

Is he not allowed to play on normal or something?

Let him enjoy the damn game.

The amount of people on screen and the framerate remaining solid is impressive.

Is he not allowed to play on normal or something?

Let him enjoy the damn game.

The enemies in this game are no worse then other ai stealth games. Play whatever level of difficulty you want there is 5 to choose from! and again this game def warrants repeated playthroughs.

 

[D4Danger]

Is he not allowed to play on normal or something?

Let him enjoy the damn game.

you're only allowed to play it on purist mode while wearing a suit and if you fail you can't have another go.

 

[LeadenStride]

what music was that?

I think it was a song played by a band in the level with the bikers.

 

[haikira]

Pleasantly surprised we're getting it the 20th in UK too. Thought it would be next Friday.

Was expecting the usual BS, with the release date changing on steam just a few days before release. But it turns out it's the correct date. =D
