Hitman Absolution Pre-Order.

Should I bite the bullet at that price then? Or will it come down more do we think?

Between now and release day? I think this is as cheap as it'll get, it's a damn good price regardless.

That review has got me concerned.. but that GMG deal is very nice.

Do I just go for it and hope for the best?

Well if you wait for the steam xmas sales it'll probably be half price

Worst of all, shopto confirmed my order this morning so I can't even cancel it now. Ah well it's only 2.50...

MrJohnSherry · 16 Nov 2012 at 14:36

Bit the bullet, that price is too good to resist! If I get a few hours entertainment from it it will be worth it!

£2.50 wouldn't even buy a pint, not much of a saving.

I thought today was release day, is that not the case?

20th?

Brummies · 16 Nov 2012 at 14:48

Yup it's out tuesday

Yep, what annoys me more is that I pre-ordered it from those guys for £20 in the first place. Ah well.

Me too. I have complained and asked for the £2.70 difference out of principle

I won't ever pre-order from them again if this is what they are going to do. plenty of other retailers out there that can have my money instead

Hmm, so many mixed opinions on this but considering how cheap it is to pre-order I'l take the plunge. I've never played a Hitman game before but am considering pre-ordering Absolution so i can play the previous ones 1st. Just seen a quote from another website:

"X360 magazine scored it 10/10 describing the title as “one of the best games we have ever played”"

This is gonna be really good or it's gonna be a mess!

Wow that post gave me a lot more hope^

Sounds like a good game! I hope it is!

The sniper challenge is awesome fun, although I can't find that stupid last duck, the ninja or all the pigeons

Omaeka · 16 Nov 2012 at 23:40

Fifty ****ing levels. :eek:

Ninja:

At the top of the screen basically, at the top of a really tall sky scraper. Quite small. But if you've done the boxer one, then it will be more obvious..

Im way off doing half the sniper challenge (any way of cheating)

Hunders · 17 Nov 2012 at 09:53

I wasn't planning on buying another game this month but the new Hitman for 17 odd quid!? How could I resist!

Already?! My copy was dispatched yesterday but I think it might be coming from the Channel Islands...

What are your first impressions?

Edit: I'm guessing we won't be able to play until the 20th
