Hitman: Absolution

[abhidev]

I think...they have tried targeting a larger audience this time by introducing newer elements of multiple ways of killing the target...either go by stealth or go the psychopath way...the choice is upto the player with a lot of options. I think this one will be a good game and seems it will be easier than its earlier parts.

 

[gameranand]

Yeah if it wants to cater more audience then obviously it would be easier, I hope they include a difficulty mode in which you are back in previous olden days.

 

[cyborg47]

There is one, hardcore mode, one of the difficulty options.

 

[gameranand]

No I am not talking about difficulty level, I am saying that if we select that hardcore mode then gameplay should change and become more like proper Hitman games not just guards with better health and ability to find you quickly as compared to easier one. It should somehow encourage you not to kill.

 

[cyborg47]

Yes, that's pretty much what a hardcore mode is

 

[abhidev]

exactly...every Hitman game has this mode where you don't get any hints/clues and killing anyone than the target is like getting killed

 

[sync_nine]

That is if by Hardcore mode you mean Purist mode.
In this mode you have no HUDs, no hints, no instinct mode. Just raw Hitman style gameplay.

 

[gameranand]

Yeah kind of.

 

[rohit32407]

^^ and that purist kind of gameplay is the real core of hitman series. Do the mission however you want to. I used to play same mission 5-10 times and still wasn't bored because there was always a different approach to be taken to complete the mission.

 

[gameranand]

Yeah that is the beauty of Hitman series. Splinter Cell is also a very good series but its kinda linear.

 

[abhidev]

yea...totally agree....first Hitman game didn't even had a save option.

Agent 47 have evolved a lot, compared to the Codename:47.
Is the PURIST mode is like PRO mode in Blood money?

I don't like that madness either.

 

[abhidev]

reading this review makes me worried abt hating this game ... it seems they have lost all the best things that happened in Blood Money and got into totally a different direction

 

[gameranand]

Don't read those review, if you are a hardcore Hitman fan then get the game and decide yourself.

 

[rohit32407]

^^+1 to that. Sometimes you may love what others absolutely hate. I guess for hardcore fans the best thing to do would be to play and decide for themselves. Their previous games were so good that this game deserves the investment from hardcore fans atleast. I know I would. But I do hope that there is atleast 1 level of difficulty which is pure hardcore hitman style.
