Do we have any confirmation that episode by episode buyers get the summer pack with this?

we have confirmation that episodic buyers will NOT be able to play the summer pack with this
the summer pack will be playable for episodic buyers as soon as the third bonus episode is reased. at this point the bonus episode pack can be bought separately.
?
The bonus episode pack will be available later when the next bonus episode content hits. It will be available as a separate DLC pack for $10

Got it, thanks. That's kinda shitty and I wish they had been more open about that beforehand.
Man, I really dislike the way they do the patches. While the downloads themselves are not that big, the patches on steam basically "build" the whole game all over again with great gigantic files. I have the game on a SSD, had like 30GB of free space and I couldn't download this 8GB patch because of that, which is ridiculous. Had to delete the game and download it again :/
Yup it's terrible especially for a game that updates so frequently. It's too bad that this game in particular improves massively by running off an SSD, otherwise I'd just leave it on my regular HDD.

It's taking forever and is making my HDD run all slow. Granted it's old as fuck and I should really get a new one.
Personally I think A House Built on Sand is worth it. Such a great mission.
Gave in and purchased, I'm part of the problem.
The main thing I disliked about Marrakesh was the warzone backdrop, so I'm looking forward to playing without it.

Seems one of the unlocks is a silenced shotgun lol.
Yeah, it's quite neat. There's a lot of cool opportunities and stuff to do. It's small and condensed and benefits from it. It's a nice palate cleanser from the bigger levels for sure. The only issue I have with it is that you only have one spawn location and one equipment drop location, which somewhat limits your approach. Would be neat to have a couple points where you could spawn with disguises and have equipment hidden in severla points of the map.

Lol, so the target is Jared Leto.
Just finished the level, good stuff. Though conversations seem glitchy. They have a tendency to cut out randomly.

How big is the level in scale to the others so far?

Livestream if anyone wants to tease themselves
Watching a bit here and there. Looks fantastic.
God dammit. This guy is currently running around blasting everyone in the face with an old school metal microphone.

Similar to Paris I'd say, maybe a bit smaller since you don't have the gardens and stuff (that I've seen).
The level is insanely beautiful. I loved just wandering from room to room simply looking at the furniture and the NPCs. From a level design point of view it seemed pretty straightforward. Nothing crazy imaginative or unexpected, although I probably missed a bunch of stuff in my first playthrough. It's a real shame that the music stays the same from mission to mission, especially considering it's not that memorable to begin with.

Incidentally, the mission briefing confirms that Jordan Cross's dad was an NPC in the yacht level.

Seems smaller. Which is fine, not every level needs to be a huge.

not super impressed after the first try, where I didn't really do anything special and only explored a bit on my own and killed the 2 targets with simple headshots when they were alone
someone mentioned here I think after sapienza already that this hitman seems to be very tame.
where is the exciting stuff? the fun stuff? the striclubs? the crazy stuff?
this hitman seems a bit too realistic to the brink of boredom. bangkok feels small, lifeless and honestly a bit boring.
maybe my standards are simply too high after paris and sapienza, I'll certainly have a better opinion after I've done more opportunities and challenges and have seen what the level has to offer, but that's my first impression.
at least it's legit beautiful and the unlocks seems to be really cool. I hope the
works as I think it does.

I mean, if you want to take targets out in the most boring way imaginable and then turn around and ask "where's the excitement?" then I think it's on you man.
Moff

Yes, that's why I mentioned I'll surely like it more after I've done some opportunities. but as you can see I was more talking about the settings and locations, they all are very tame so far.

I guess the older Hitman games were more... baroque in their art and design. Characters were wildly exaggerated, levels looked theatrical in their design, stories were sensationalist and ripped-from-the-tabloids.
This game definitely looks more naturalistic and less intense. I think people have mentioned that 47 actually looks like a real human being for once.
Besides stripclubs and a red light district, what would you do for a crazy/fun/exciting map? A mission on the moon, in an underwater facility, a floating pirate ship? What is crazy to you?

I finally put those on minimal along with challenges, should be more entertaining to figure things out now.
Just finished my first run.
I tried an opportunity, but it either bugged out or I couldn't find out how to get the last step:
Overall, the level feels quite small but there seems to be some neat stuff to do. I'll reserve my judgment until I mess around with it a bit more; right now I can't say i'm super impressed, but there could be some fun stuff ahead.

It was the microphone thing. I replaced it, did the mixing, the voltage, etc. and then the producer said we're just waiting for the singer to come, but he never did and he was just pacing upstairs looking at his phone.
I had no idea how to get him to move, so I just drew him to his room and boringly snapped his neck.
For the lawyer guy, I led him to his room, cleaned some stuff which was kinda amusing, got rid of the bodyguard and then him.

I made 47 play a sweet drum solo and then shoved a hipster through a plate glass roof.

to give some examples of previous hitman games:
the playboy mansion
the heaven and hell club
the theater
the english mansion
those are exciting locations, you know immediately you'll get something special
I did not see that in marrakesh and bangkok, they are tame and boring
Stripclubs are the "fun exciting stuff?"
