GameReviewerByTrade:

"I have reviewed this game, although I would like to remain anonymous. I can honestly say that the comments Mr Francis has made about the game are entirely false. Assassinations are NOT cutscenes any more than they are in Blood Money (IE an animation once the 'accident' is set up or whatever is the way it's always been – it's not a cutscene because you're either choosing to stick around and watch – in full control – or you're already making your escape or whatever, NEVER is control taken away from you).

As for checkpoints THEY ONLY EVEN EXIST ON LOW DIFFICULTY. Meaning this reviewer played it through on easy or medium and since he claims to be an experienced Hitman player, he should know that these difficulty levels were not made for him. He has essentially failed to do the job he has been paid to do.

The 'pointless' objectives (open a door) refers to exiting the level once the hit has been complete. YOU HAVE ALWAYS HAD TO EXIT THE LEVEL ONCE THE HIT WAS COMPLETE.

Some of the levels are small, sure, but THERE ARE FIFTY OF THEM.

The AI is fantastic as always. 47 is the catalyst. Mix him with the AI in any way and entertaining (and often unexpected) things happen. Just as they always have, but way, way better than ever before. The story is, admittedly, quite poor, but it's also irrelevant. It ties one playground to the next by a thin thread and that's all that matters.

Do not listen to Tom Francis. He has failed to do his job and speaking as a fellow reviewer, in my opinion deserves to be severely scolded for it, both by the general gaming public, who he has failedf, by the developer and publisher of the game, who he has failed, and by the company he works for, who he has failed. Once you lot get to play the game, you will immediately see how FACTUALLY incorrect this review is. It's chock-full of out and out lies."


Can't wait :cool:

Well I hope your right toString, considering I can't get into Dishonored and that got 99% from PCGamer and a few other places...

If you're so easily swayed, and have such a weak opinion that an awful review can completely change your mind, then no offence but I'm glad Hitman won't draw that kind of mentality from its fanbase.

Hopefully.

Wow thats a bit personal isn't it?? Never did I say it had changed my mind, I just said I was glad I had waited, I haven't played it so I cant agree with the reviews can I?

Hope you won't be disappointed with it, it'd be hard to get off that high horse.
 
pre-loading now at 9Mb/s :D

Purchased the game from mm, but I can't say I'm disapointed for not getting it from gmg which would have entitled the extra games. (tbh I'd never play them, Absolution is the only Hitman I think looks great)
 
No manual saves and you can't select your load out in the campaign!? :(

WHY DO DEVELOPERS CONSTANTLY TAKE THE BEST BITS OUT OF GAMES!!
 
PC Gamer is probably the worst at reviews of all so do not worry about it.

Besides if you are a Hitman fan it's probably great anyway makes a change from all the fps games since stealth games are rare.
 
Hitman games rarely get praise, because they aren't generic ********. Pc Gamer and Eurogamer are also complete jokes, and always have been (EG more than PCG, though).

As are most pro reviewers, IGN aren't far behind for being lolworthy, and people who take 'professional' reviews for anything of value at all need to go buy an overpriced annual expansion and keep away from the good fanbases. Mentioning no names.

CoD.
 
I will admit I'm probably living in the past when PCG were relatively unbiased and accurate. I think that may have been years ago now.

I would't say I take them as anything of value, but I'm sick of preordering games which are terrible. Media hype has a lot to answer for
