Put the DLC packs, and the game, in your wishlist. They will definitely go on sale. I bought Hitman 1 on sale for like 70% a year after it released. I'm sure Hitman 3 and its DLC will get a good sale by next Christmas.
IOI has said that they are working on a solution to allow owners of Hitman 1 and 2 on Steam to redeem the DLC legacy packs for Hitman 3 on EGS. I don't know if those plans have succeeded yet.
Hitman 3 has improved mechanics and UI. I very much recommend that you play the Hitman 1 and 2 levels inside Hitman 3. If you do not own any of the three games, don't bother with buying 1 or 2; you can simply buy Hitman 3 and they the DLC legacy packs.
I just checked, looks like they found a solution. I just bought Hitman 3 on Epic and it's on sale. You've convinced me, thank you.
Sweet! I'm looking forward to reading your impressions on the game.
You can, though the story will have many holes for you. I'd recommend that you get the DLC legacy packs as well, though that'll prove expensive right now. If you're not in a rush, I'd suggest putting the game in your wishlist and waiting for a sale. I'm sure the game will be on sale this summer; PSN often has sales.
Buy 3 and its DLC. There is no need to buy Hitman 2016 or 2 anymore; they've been made obsolete.
Money was tight, I guess. Fully animated cutscenes are expensive. Are they improved in Hitman 3?
The cutscenes in 3 are pre-rendered using the game's assets, so they look fine, but a little stilted and nowhere near as good as 1's. I liked the stills of H2, and I kind of wish 3 had stuck with that.
Better, but I still think the direction of the cutscenes in 1 were best. It's not a major issue and I enjoy the whole story, I just think the way they unfolded the story in the first game was really cool.
The Hitman 2 Expansion is needed, as it contains two story levels. I would suggest getting the Hitman 2 Gold Access Pass, as it comes with the DLC maps as well as the other DLCs (weapons and costumes).
Yeah that makes the existence of the trilogy all the more impressive then. Sad that it didn't sell well and had to go that route.
Noted, thanks.
The offline mode is severely limited. The only thing you can do is play the story missions. You can't earn xp, unlock new gadgets, weapons, starting positions, costumes and stuff or do any of the new elusive target missions, you don't even get a score when you finish a mission and regardless how you finish a mission it does not count any special way you do it.
I wonder what would have happened if SE kept them on. Would Hitman 3 have even happened or would IOI just be working on Avengers DLC right now?
I honestly think these are, by faaaaaar, the jokiest Hitman IOI has ever made. Don't get confused with the story, which has always been dark and gritty in all Hitmans.
