If you "suffered" through Dog Days then I'm so sorry that you have terrible opinions about games.

from the couple I've encountered, that isn't true in the slightest.
chinatown, for example, looks big but upon exploration is roughly the same size as the a new life level in blood money.
no level I have encountered so far is as huge or sanboxy as the level murder of crows for example.
True, on hard(er) difficulties - can easily say 20 hour minimum. You just can't just finish all things achievable in one mission.
I used the term suffered because some really, really hate those games. I quite liked it, and I didn't think the ending was as bad as some said.

There are no levels of that size in this game from what I've seen so far.
Nah, you should own up to DD's greatness and let the whole world hear it. That game is remarkable.

I suspected as much. it's disappointing to to have it confirmed, but I am otherwise enjoying the game. my hope is that this is a blip and the next game will return fully to the series' root and not further devolve like splinter cell currently is.

hopefully Green Man Gaming gets their keys today, I wanna pre-load >_<
According to Steam it unlocks in 6 hours. Still no key from GMG
6 hours? Holy shit! I need to finish Dishonored already. Where in Steam does it say that? On the store page it says 22 hours.
I'm in Australia.

Really? I mean REALLY?!
The gunplay is pretty poor and the gamedesing is very uninspired.
The characters, the visuals and the general art direction are some of my favorites though.

I'm currently in the desert and I still think about if I should
kill Lenny or let him walk. Does the story change somehow?
I'm glad I pre-purchased on Steam, a free Blood Money is a good Blood Money (I did it on Xbox 360 back then, but sold it in the mean-time, so I might want to re-do it on PC).
Tested the Sniper Challenge as well and...well, it's not really good, but that doesn't matter, that was just a small bite-sized appetizer to make us wait. It at least shows that the game runs well in-engine on my PC.

The game is long, especially if you are playing on hard and above - although it can be sort of frustrating at higher difficulties.

The shooting looks as wonky as it did in the past Hitman games.
I'm perfectly alright with that.

Contracts now free for everyone/pass costs nothing.

That's pretty cool of them. I do wonder if this is them pre-emptively preventing a blunder ala Ubisoft's Driver San Francisco mixup rather than just something out of the kindness of their hearts, though.

in my sleep daze I first thought that Hitman: Contracts was finally available digitally and free to boot but then I clicked the link and realized my folly

A very good game. Graphics are insane ( PS3 version ). Deferred engine with a lot of lights and npcs on screen. Great, seriosly. Gametrailers review is a joke. Well, Gametrailers is a joke since giving COD "scripted" BO2 more than a 7...as is the same shit as always...

Gives me time to do all the challenges in Sniper Challenge and then get 50mln for all the unlocks
Or I will just end up playing ME3 on Silver.

Spoke too soon, GMG just sent me the code. For those who might be confused - there are two keys there, the first one which you used to get the Sniper Challenge, the second one is for the main game.

it's a shame as well because the levels just before were really good. probably one of three levels so far that felt like the hitman levels from blood money.

So glad it's not just me there, that was the point where my patience just broke with the game

it's really trying my patience. I'm sorely tempted to stop playing and move onto something else, but I'll give it one final go tonight.
I'm sorry for repeating myself, but it cannot be stated enough. they are dreadful levels. dreadful. I was enjoying the game up to that point, the levels were becoming enoyable and slightly challenging with the level just before feeling very reminiscent of the levels in blood money (not as good but it felt like a level that wouldn't be out of place in blood money, if that makes sense), but then it goes downhill and it continues to go downhill.

Someone mentioned there will be Day 1 patch, but I don't know if we have any confirmation on that.

IMHO is very unfair. Worse games this gen have received great praise being shitty moneyhated sequels.

So how long until this unlocks in Australia even? I wish they would just release it at the same point from the first unlocking region.
Argh, too much work to do today besides.

Pre-order... cancelled. Just had to do it even if it's a decent game on its own. Ultimately it still carries the Hitman name and should live up to that name. I'm sure I will buy it eventually if only for the contracts mode.
Transferred those funds over to Star Citizen. Going from broken promises to something that promises absolute perfection. I'm sure I won't be disappointed in two years time, right?

PS3 I believe has better IQ and takes more advantage of being on Blu-Ray. The 360 version has the game of the smallest filesize, but its advantage is it's the one with the fastest normal loading times. There's such a difference that I'd almost suggest getting the PC version (it's about three times the size of the 360 build), but I figure as that was not an option you don't have a machine ready for the game.
