Hitman: Absolution

Im not sure what you are talking about. Yea each game added new features, but outside of Conviction they were all really similar.
I'm talking about the buttons and their actions. I don't remember which game was which, but I remember on the PS3, one game would have the aim button at Square, then another had it at L1. Just things like that where the buttons were changed, but not just for one specific action. It got very confusing after a while since I would get used to the controls in one game, only to mess up and do something like shoot when I meant to whistle in the next.

Not to mention the HUD was completely different in each one. I can't remember if I had the same issue with the originals since I played them all on Gamecube, but I was hoping that they would have created a more universal control scheme for all three games, especially since that one was delayed a few times.
 
The only reason why I still have my ps2 is to play blood money. I'm getting the HD collection as soon as it drops.
 
I might get the HD collection since Contracts seems to play kinda funny through the PS3.
 
Sounds pretty good. Hopefully Hitman does well out of this, though I have to admit I was gonna buy the game anyway. From what I've seen of the game so far I was pretty pleased with where the game was heading.

Yea I'm hoping this game can do well enough so SE will think sequels and hopefully not spaced out by 6 years
 
where should i preorder this game?

Depends what ya want. GameStop gets ya the sniper challenge, best buy gets u a 50s getup and tommy gun and amazon gets u a tactical suit and custom pistol.

I'm going with amazon(cheaper and free release day shipping for prime members)
 
I don't think I'll be able to get this right away at release, but it sure sounds great to hear some good early impressions. Hopefully more will follow.

Iv had to cancel a few preorders because i wouldnt have enough money to get the SE at launch and that is just not an option. No other game this gen would of taken precedence over this title for me.

For me, the only definitely must-buy is ACIII, not just because it looks awesome, but because I have every other game and want to complete my collection. But I have a few job interviews coming up which could mean that I'll finally have a steady flow of income just in time for the holiday season, so I can be able to buy some games, or at least renew my gamefly membership so I can try them out. But from what I've seen, this definitely looks like something I would like to add to my collection.

Although, I have become a bit hesitant towards buying games lately. After spending so much during my first year with the system, and then selling games after I either got all the trophies and finished them in a few days or I was just disappointed in the content of the game and length overall, I opted to rent first for most games. It's definitely been cheaper and has given me a better sense of what I would actually spend money on. But then again, Hitman does seem like my kind of game so I'm kind of torn on what I would want to do.
 
In regards to the HD collection, I hope this time the acheivements stack. Don't really feel like playing through all four difficulties.
 
Good luck on the job hunt, Spidey!

Amazing all around.


All these trailers got me thinking: it's really too bad the movie sucked so hard, because a Hitman movie done right would be amazing.

It was doomed the minute they refused to even let Bateson(an established film and stage actor) audition for the role. I mean i love Tim Olyphant but Bateson is the only person capable of playing that role
 
Meh I think other actors could've handled the film role just fine, but Olyphant was completely wrong lol and the script was god awful. I face palmed so hard during that ridiculous sword fight on the subway car...

I can't think of any actor that could of performed better than Bateson. Olyphant is a REALLY good actor. This isn't like Michael Ironside and Sam Fisher, Bateson is responsible for 47s look and mannerisms. Haha but yea that fight was LOL inducing. They were all just carrying swords?
