Hitman: Absolution

I'm shocked. This was one series I didn't see coming back. Was never really the biggest fan of Hitman, but I enjoyed Blood Money. I'd be interested to see where they take the series now in terms of gameplay.

I was concerned that Blood Money was going to end the series, especially since it actually started some character development of 47. Good to see that my fears were unfounded.

I need to get a red tie and shave my head bald. They already barcoded me back in the day. I mean, nothing. Look, I'm wearing a funny hat and looking exactly like an old lady.

Blood Money was amazingly fun. I liked all the little things, the ideal ways to solve your problem and the... Not so ideal ways. Like soaking a teenaged girls panties in chloroform to knock out a perverted security guard who prowled into her bedroom. Stuff like that was amusing.

Wait, what?

On an unrelated tangent, I think I should get Blood Money.
I've got Hitman 2, and contrary to what people may say, I can get through the first ninja mission without being detected(the second one, where you actually kill the guy, though...).

If you're patient and scout the place out well before making any real moves on the target, you can pick up on the habits of individuals and exploit them. Like the aforementioned guard who wanders around for a while before occasionally wandering into the girls room of the house, and sniffing her panties. If you know this, you can use chloroform on them, and when he does his think, he knocks himself out. It's an easy way to get a disguise.

I (somehow) knew about this a few months back. Didn't know the subtitle though. Been playing Blood Money on my XBox (damn thing won't die) in preparation.

And the ether panties is in A New Life. You can get the ether and some tranq darts (for use with the air rifle in the treehouse) in the vets back room. For you people who didn't know :)

I dunno if I should be ashamed at my almost frequent playing of Blood Money (broken up only by Coliseum: Road to Freedom on the PS2, which also won't die).

Me too.

I can't wait for some strangling, poisoning, silenced Silverballer in the face-ing action!

Since we're talking about Hitman, what was your weapon of choice in Hitman: Blood Money?

Mine was a silenced Silverballer.

After I beat the game the right way I loaded the M16, SMG, and ballers with upgrades and started doing it the fun way.  Namely, I went through killing everyone I saw.  Good times.

The best way to have no witnesses is to kill everybody.

The game turns from a hitman game to a derranged muderer game.

Yesterday I used up all the ammo in New Orleans killing everything (even the respawning NPC bots in the streets). When I ran out of ammo, kitchen knife to the face. Wound up with well over 200 kills. The bot filler people apparently add to your kill count without adding to your witnesses. Nor can they take up arms against you, and they don't flee in terror. Drunks.
