So the final product will have 6 maps in total right?
The music seems to be very repetitive.
It's a shame about the soundtrack in this game. I usually just turn the background music off, because it sounds very generic and like something you would hear in a spy thriller. It barely adds anything to the atmosphere of the game, unlike Jesper Kyd's music.

Nope. Just seems to be that way all throughout the level. I'm sure it didn't start out that way when I booted up Sapienza for the first time, which is why it stood out to me.
I've had this happen. It's definitely a bug.

Hey y'all, got a question or two:
I've never really played a Hitman game beyond the opening level of Blood Money, but the concept has always intrigued me, would it be worth giving Paris a go at least?
and
I know they are pretty different, but everything I hear about the levels kind of reminds me of MGSV Ground Zeroes, which I adored for how many ways you could go about finishing the level; do you reckon I would be able to enjoy this?
Cheers!

1.) Yeah, Paris is only 15 dollars anyways.
2.) Yes, there are multiple ways to kill each target.
Yes, if you enjoyed Ground Zeroes for its variety of ways to complete missions, then you should definitely play this game. The Hitman series has always been one of the best series to play, if you like having a lot of options to complete a mission.

There's another much smaller patch out on Steam today. But people are reporting that it makes the game unable to start?
(Possibly related to DX12?)
Also, escalation #2 for Sapienza is up.

Yeah, just booted it up for a second time and the camera is way further back.
I'm guessing that it's got something to do with completing an action or perhaps loading a save whilst using the zoom that's making it get stuck.
Mastery level 20 in Sapienza. Did my SO,SA run and Sniper Assassin run back to back. Sniper Assassin is especially easy if you start off in the ruins and pick your sniper drop spot in the ruins. You can see both targets from the top and have a quick route to the lab. My fastest run yet.
Still wanna complete all the opportunities.

Paris level is so good. Spent about 5-7 hours on it in past two days. If I've got about 7 master level should I turn on opportunity objectives or am I cheating myself??

I would say turn them on after you completely run out of ideas that you can track down for yourself. Remember that there's always somewhere you can overhear a hint for what you should do.

I think the only reason to turn on the notifications is if you're going for the achievement for completing them all. I found with a few of them I'd complete the action it told me to, but not in the right order or I wasn't standing in the right spot and it wouldn't count as completed.

I just keep finding new places I've never been.
While running around escaping after having punched some guy in the face because I couldn't throw flowers in it, I climbed up somewhere and accidentally found

I've had the camera permanently bug out of me after getting out of hiding by being way off center (not fixed by shoulder swapping). Had to reload to fix it.

You have to buy Paris episode 1. All further episodes are optional dlc.

drop the stalctice on her maybe? I havent done this yet, how do you trigger her to go down there anyway?

When she's searching Caruso's office, there's only one bodyguard inside with her. You can basically do whatever you want if you hid yourself in either the bathroom or the adjacent office in advance.

Is there a way to see my high score or past scores of levels?
Of course it is. This is the goty this year and it only costs $15 to try it out. If you don't like it then it's not a huge amount of money lost, or do a steam refund. This is a great game. There have been a few pc issues but none at the moment are game breaking.
Music aside, this is the best Hitman game ever made.

It's basically a sequel to Blood Money. It takes the ideas that Blood Money pioneered (special opportunities specific to each mission and accidents) and go home with it, making it bigger and with more possibilities.
From Hitman Absolution takes the contract system (though strangely not as good) and the fact that some people can see through your disguise, but it isn't freaking everyone like in Absolution and it changes with the disguise you are using.
only by scrolling to where it is listed...
it's annoying there isn't a filter to see your score or see a friends-leaderboard

My two cents.
I agree with you in theory. A supervisor or two is good, but there are a few too many on Sapienza.
On the other hand... Paris was a too easy mission. We can say it was because the first real mission, but apart from that, I think it was also too because the expanded gameplay gives you so many ways to kill your target in each scenario that it has made the game easier than previous Hitmans. Even if a pair of ways to kill them are hard for your and you don't find other two, you still have other 3-4 ways to kill them. A few of them usually are pretty easy, where you only need to know and use a specific disguised and objects, but once you have the knowledge, you are good to go.
So it seems they have tried to compensate putting more people who can see through some of the disguises. I had a lot of fun just now avoiding guards, escaping through the roofs, climbing down pipes, going around, switching disguises, activated tvs or lights to distract people, etc, at least the game level is well designed for these moments of more traditional stealth.
Paris in contrast was a question of going to the back garden, and taking the suit of one of the vip guards, baam, you basically won the mission.

Where do you scroll to see it. The only time I see mine is right after the mission and now I can't find it?

Honestly, I like the kind of stealth where you don't have to stay hidden from everyone, just some people. It feels more tense because it forces you to get in closer quarters - pure stealth and just staying away from everyone feels a little too safe after a while.
And it helps that it's not just "wait for someone to turn away, then sneak past" all the time. I mean, there was a guard in the attic in Paris who was literally turning in an endless circle while standing in place. That was a bit silly.

She'll go down
once the virus is destroyed
like literally scrolling from first place to whatever place you are
if you don't remember... then scroll until you see your name?
lol
She does? In my playthrough she remained on the top of the mansion...

Yeah I've done it like that multiple times, it takes a bit but
she goes into the containment room which is also how you get Fatal Reaction
Edit: Just tested it to be sure I wasn't crazy and yup it worked again.

The breaching charge, right? Yeah, that thing is pretty cool.
Edit: oh wait, you could be talking about the noise maker as well. Haven't tried that out yet!

Finally finished trying to kill everyone in episode 2, lol. Tried making sure I combed the area before finishing the mission. Looks like I got 297 non-target kills total XD

Ah jeeeeeez, I thought the disconnecting issue was gone, because i still was exploring in Sapienza after 15 minutes or so. And then out of the blue i got error that i was disconnected from the Hitman server.
I hope they bring that patch soon so i can just reconnect, because you sure as hell can't now. And playing offline means no challenges and the everything.

To be honest I think I like this disguise mechanic the most out of all games. I guess if you look back on it, Blood Money was pretty easy in that regard. Sure there were area's you werent allowed in if you didnt have the right disguise, but it makes a lot of sensw for a few members of the crew to be suspicious of you.
A worthy sequel to Blood Money, and aside from the music probably my favorite so far.

There are a couple of areas which look like they're being saved for another mission although that spot you refer to has a spliff in it so I guess it does have some relevance to the current job.
What I don't get is, who did the music for the Trailers, because that stuff is much better than what we've heard in the game so far, certainly sounds more Jesper Kyd like. Unless that will be a late surprise in the year, the score being redone and working back into the older levels.

new patch on PC, a lot of people are reporting (including me) that it won't start at all if you leave it in Direct3D 12 mode. D3D11 works fine though.
