HITMAN 2 is a numbered continuation only formally: in fact, this is purely a new season of the series, which started two years earlier. Looking at the trailers, it sometimes seemed that there would be nothing to tell in the review, just discuss the locations, perhaps, and grumble about the online ballast. In practice – unfortunately or fortunately – the opposite happened. On the StopGame agenda.ru a weighty and leisurely report on the new business trips of Agent 47.
Hitman 2
Best comments
No one pays attention to the white guy among the black musicians. Convention? I will say that this is laziness and mediocrity of the developers
And he accidentally sealed it not because he cut it off with meat? Well, yes, excellent disguise 12/10, no one will recognize him with such a noticeable face
Now a little about the lore. I have a feeling that the developers have never played their own games. What the hell boy? He was already cloned by a man
Suddenly, almost out of nowhere, almost the best killer appeared, really, why find out his past.
Over there, in the canonical second part, he retired from work, and returned only because the radishes kidnapped the priest. What did you play with??
Dude, a free lifehack just for you. First you study loka, and then you begin to collect the necessary things in your pocket. Problem solved.
What does it have to do with story events?. You just come and they lead you to your goal. You just need to be dressed appropriately or have the right item in your pocket. This. Just. Awesome
And in the settings you can Casino-Hopa.co.uk turn off the markers, then you have to figure out everything without prompts. Incredible, really?
Passed some Blood Money dozens of times in different ways. Hitman has always been designed for replayability.
What kind of mission is this?? Because Absolute as a whole is dull and unmemorable. Although no, I remember the mission with the nuns in latex. Because I facepalmed myself when they appeared. And from the AI from the time of the second part, joyfully shooting allies in the back.
And what did you mean by this?? What’s bad about these locations?? Now I’ll do the same.
Before everything was dry and dull. Here is a theater, here are docks with a ship, here is an ordinary villa, here is an ordinary American country house.
By the way, the emphasis on the “Warner brothers” is incorrect. As far as I know, WB is not funding the developers, acting only as a publisher and PR man for commercial interests, and IO Interactive operates as an independent studio and has all the rights to the series. Under the wing of Square Enix there were opportunities to make full-fledged CGI videos, but for an independent studio this is a large injection of money.
Gentlemen, are my headphones dying or something is wrong with the sound?? Not the whole video, but rather at the end, as if there were some kind of metallic whistling echoes at the very edge of audibility. For example from 10.10 when it comes to optimization – you can hear it clearly 🙁
So here we have a fan of the series who went through all the parts, after which, judging by the comment, he considered the 2 most controversial ones (contracts and absolute) as reference ones, while he is sincerely surprised that someone can replay a level 40 times. Very funny fan of the series))
Oh, exactly, about the vaunted social commentary in the previous parts. It was that being a drug dealer, a fag, a murderer or a corrupt military man is bad? MY LEGS, life didn’t prepare me for such turns.
Large injections, I agree. But this somehow doesn’t really fit in with the fact that for the announcement they weren’t too lazy to organize a heavy CGI trailer about the race in Miami – at whose expense was it? Sami IOI? I doubt. Nowadays, not every major publisher sees the point in such beauty; Ubisoft for “Odyssey” also ultimately did not make a CGI trailer; for the second time in the history of the series they refused it after Liberation.
As for the “chamber reactions” to the expert, it’s strange if that’s the case. This is not mentioned in the description of the difference between difficulty levels. I personally am not willing to lose hours of research because of one mistake when there is only one save available. Even with all the love for the brand. So I went through it professionally. I’ll check the hypothesis further later, but something tells me that these are some minor coincidences. According to the official explanation, there are simply more enemies on the expert, they are more accurate, deal more damage, and stuff like that.
Of course, I may not remember well the entire general chronology, but where was it said that the first season is a restart of the series? Judging by the same Legacy video after completing the training, this is exactly the continuation of Absolution, a few years later.
The shooting of cameras is responded to, although not always by security, but mostly at an expert level of difficulty.
I pre-ordered the gold edition almost immediately after the announcement, completed all the missions almost at once – definitely a masterpiece. The pumped-up first season, which, in turn, was pumped up (well, somewhere worse, yes) Blood Money.
IMHO, game of the year on PC, nothing came out better this year. And it’s not expected in the near future either. I really want more sales for this game and a third season.
Dude you’re contradicting yourself. You either say that it’s unclear why Diana is running around with 47 like a son, or you say that this is a continuation, not a restart. If this is not a restart, then everything seems logical, no? 47 in absolute terms saved her life (and ultimately her career). And they’ve been through a lot. In Blood money she also saved him. As for the clones and the plot, everything is quite smooth here.
A very controversial statement. We saw a bunch of clones including those who had not yet “hatched” and they were adults yes. But 47 itself was not shown to us like that. There are still many places in the lore that I suspect were deliberately left with holes in order to further develop the theme. For example, about Ortmayer’s son. For example, many believed that 47 could be his son or his clone. Since for all parts (I have not completed the last one yet), the origin of the 47th has not been completely 100% confirmed, the developers can still completely turn everything upside down.
And the rest of your arguments are so-so. Hitman has always been a game of replay value. This concept has been the main feature of the series since Codename. The only part that didn’t make me want to replay it was Absolution. The theme of an agent playing different roles is a natural development of gameplay, because no one would need the same Codename on new rails. They were already in almost all parts.
Now, all the best from the ideas implemented in Blood Money – the best part of the series – has been taken, and more scaled. All hints and tips are disabled and if you want hardcore, it’s easy to get. New Hitmans are essentially the same Blood Money only on a larger scale.
For me, the game sank only in terms of graphics, but otherwise everything is fine.
Perhaps, but I was more offended by its secondary nature due to the fact that half the game is a remaster of missions from the first part
