Are you guys checking the solution to the challenges online or try to figure it out on your own? I love to check if I completed the challenge, but sometimes it can be rather frustrating.

Fucking christ, what were they thinking with those checkpoints? Many (all?) of them are absolutely useless! The one at the beginning of the Hawaiian hotel mission resets you in such a poor state that you might as well just restart the mission.
Spoilers about said mission and the checkpoint:
Spoilers about said mission and the checkpoint:
Before the checkpoint I had smoked one of the saints and a guard, hidden both their bodies and got the guard's clothes. My instinct was brimming and I could have done anything I wanted. I didn't end up using any and killed the second target, then went to the exit and got seen at the very last second picking the goddamn door lock. Cue my restart.
I start back at the top of the stairs with a scrap of instinct and the conversation that is distracting all the guards down stairs doesn't even occur! So they're all walking around patrolling the place and I'm left with a millisecond of instinct because the checkpoints are garbage.
Yes, I know the checkpoint is not very far from the beginning of that level, but they really shouldn't work like this.

I did the same during the second mission.
On leaderboards it's best to either be first or last. It looks like you might've beat us all in that way. You're number one in more ways than us.
Yeah that's what I meant. So you can't use the dlc weapons in regular single player story campaign then?

Just finished Prologue. Please tell me it's the only mission that forces you to kill, and use instinct.

Beat the game last night. As the game moves along, it started to feel more and more like Hitman to me. Very close to Contracts in regards to atmosphere. Beautiful game visually, technically. I see the issues but don't think that they make the game terrible (it's a fantastic stealth game, and an 'average' Hitman game to me). Some really great levels in there that do take on the spirit of Blood Money, you just have to be willing to take your time with it.
What more can I say really? Pros and cons have been covered over and over; I really enjoyed the game and the ending felt good :I.

I haven't beat the game yet but this pretty much sums up my opinion.
For all it's flaws the game is still fun as hell. This and Sleepy Dogs will be fighting for my coveted GOTY award.
the knife? it's in the hotel before that part. You have to bring it with you between levels.
It's so fun, I terrorized their ass with it. It was a proper horror movie.
I think now I've stopped trying to play it like Blood Money I'm actually having a lot of fun with it.

So I found out over at the gamefaqs forums someone made a mod/trainer to fix the detect system some of the users are saying it fixes the complaints

You're going to have to force yourself at some point. Some of the points in the game are clearly designed to use that ability.

So, some of them want it easier like blood money... =(
Also I do agree that the people can see to damn far sometimes

One problem I had that forgot to mention was when I dropped a chandelier on a cop's head he just stood there and looked up at the ceiling as if nothing happened. Either his hat is chandelier proof or it's a bug. Has anyone had this happen before?

Holy shit that was quick. VGAs reveal?
I might try this later. I know trainers are usually frowned upon, but if the system mods the game to the disguise system being like older games, this will be one of the few times I'd be happy for such a modification. I'm sure that would raise the game to a far higher level for people like me who simply think the disguise system is pretty weaksauce.

I tested it out you can still be spotted but only if your acting out of character or really close to the person your disguised as
So in other words, it's like Silent Assassin?
Oooo!
Going to download this.
Does this interfere with challenges and the like at all?
What exactly is "a trainer."
Sounds good. I'll probably try it out later.
A trainer is like...if you used a cheat device on a console, it's like that, but it's usually designed with one game in mind. It can offer infinite health, ammo, score...lots of stuff.
Instinct is a part of blend, so you will have to do that. You can disable seeing them through walls/their pathways, though. You never have to point shoot or kill anyone aside from your targets after that.
There's another segment later on that was just as fun as the scarecrow in the cornfield to me. I just beat it last night and my early opinion is Hunter and Hunted, Birdie's Gift, Death Factory, Attack of the Saints, and Blackwater Park are some of my favorite missions here. Some of them possibly being my favorite in the series.

Finished the game on Hard over the weekend, took me close to 16 hours. Got Silent Assassin a handful of times too. Absolution is certainly a worthy title in the Hitman series. I'm sort of indifferent to the disguise system. I more or less just played to the game's rules and had a ton of fun doing so. I'm just thankful we still have Hitman games to play. Very much looking forward to future releases.
Time to play Contracts mode.

They alter memory something something. And then this happens.
That's Menu 1. That thing is ridiculous.
IO will probably be a bit huffy about things like this messing up their leaderboards. So I suppose they might do something there.
not sure if posted but
Good to hear, hope they get a fix for it soon. I got hit by it right at the end which sucked.
He'll probably review it either this week or next week. Oh god, he's going to hate it.
And, even though I like the game, I'll probably agree with every word he says.

Yeah. Zero Punctuation is the best when he reviews a game I love. SSBB, Zelda, Fallout, Portal 2. Always entertaining.
