So does this only have 7 missions or am I missing something?

9. Or 11 if you count the prologue missions. And then add all the escalations which are a few dozen. And then the featured contracts. And the user contracts. And elusive targets, and all the challenges and differents ways you can do all of those.

That makes more sense.

I dunno I uninstalled it

Dayum.

Echoing the other positive comments, I'm a newcomer to Hitman and game is great. Highly replayable, strong emergent and scripted moments, surprisingly funny, and the episodic rollout really works for me. The concept behind elusive contracts is neat, you get to spend some time with each new map instead of just burning through everything, there's always something on the menu to try. Keeps you engaged and returning for more over the course of the year. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the disc based version, but if you're interested and don't mind digital they've got a good thing going on right now.

1070 on the way. That's it. I'm going in. Lets murder some fools.

Hoping for a redbox release because I need my 47 fix.

Hmm, I haven't picked this up yet but since I'll probably want to play before January, I'm thinking I'll do the $15 to check it out + $50 for the rest if I like it route. Nice to see that it's coming out on disc, though.

 

[Clauss]

That asterisk, unfortunately. Hope it's not the case.

Bummer! I was hoping to take another crack at some of the ones I missed/messed up. Oh well!

If that offline content/unlock thing doesn't change for the disc release, looks like the only way I'll be playing this game is if it shows up as a PS+ or a GWG title while I have an active subscription.

 

[swarley64]

Is it worth it to jump in now for the Elusives? People seem to be excited about 'em.

Yes. They take the game to a new level. And there's plenty of base content right now with the 4 episodes.

It's so frustrating. This is one of my GOAT series too. I'm gonna end up cracking and buying it, then hate myself

Is it the principle of the thing? Because in practice you'll most likely never even really notice it.

First two months after launch were a nightmare. I've developed a Pavlovian response to pop-ups I think IOI were pretty shitty not explaining how the offline mode would work prior to release. Yeah, maybe it is principle at this point.

For me it's a principle thing. They're absolutely not justified in requiring the server connections for those things.

Also, really not a fan of adding basically more factors that can lead to your run messing up before finishing..

Before, for a game like this, things that could end a run:

lights going out
console/game messing up


now that's changed to:

lights going out
console/game messing up
internet messing up
PSN messing up
SE/IO's servers messing up

 

[grosvenor_92]

I was gonna wait till they announced when this was coming out and it sounds like it make a good birthday present come February

 

[BBboy20]

So, they're going to be a disc version for the PC version for the US? Because they didn't even try putting a disc in the collector's edition of the latest Deus Ex. =/

Seriously, it made the steelcase a paperweight for that platform. That gonna' be the same here?
