FruityGamers:
Suit Too Far
Hitman Absolution, if you’re not familiar with the concept, is a game where you are tasked with assassinating targets while having a set of optional challenges to complete for each individual mission. The idea behind this was likely to add an extra layer of difficulty for the more experienced gamers among us; what it actually does is ensure people like myself, who cannot bear being told they have not completed each level to the fullest, are forced to give the title full weeks of their lives just to get a virtual well-done.
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.

the opening statement makes me hate the uploader too much o pay attention to his article " ... to add an extra layer of difficulty for the more experienced gamers among us; what it actually does is ensure people like myself, ... forced to give the title full weeks of their lives..." Uh yeah thats what would a warrant a $60 price tag not a game like dante's inferno or COD where i can give it two hours of my time to get a "well-done" with so many games today that are so short its nice to see long ones. whats not nice is idiots who knock on long games for no other reason than the fact that they are long.
