      i remember when the horse armor was a subject of outrage. now everyone seems to want games to have dlc and if you critique microtransactions they get mad at you

        This is what happens when you view entertainment as content to churn through

        People want an endless sluice of slop to cram down so they don’t ever have to think

    Mmm yes I love playing a game on a tiny screen where half of the visuals are covered by an ugly generic controller overlay.

    By the way it’s woke killing videogames or something and not high prices, studio greed and lack of artistic integrity.

    Man they just can’t stop fucking up the monetization on the Hitman series, huh. IIRC you can’t even buy the versions of Hitman 1 and 2 that I own on PC anymore.

      The new hitman trilogy is actually pretty great all that shit aside, the thing that pisses me off the most is something that sounds very minor but totally stands out to me every time I try to play: The lack of blood.

      In blood money you had bullet wound decals on entry and exit wounds and if you shot someone near a wall it would splatter against the wall and actually drip down (basically just a scripted stretching of the detail but the effect was great). The new ones feel so sterile by comparison.

    Not defending it, but that’s probably about what it cost buying each component of it new at release. It’s old, but not surprising if you add in the Apple tax

      Its not, that’s the discounted price from buying it piecemeal.

      The $70 price for the full game actually represents a savings over buying the 25 levels outright for $3 each–purchased that way, you’d pay more (via Kotaku).

      $5 savings if you buy all at once edgeworth-smug

        This is a port of the “World of Assassination” (formerly Hitman 2016, Hitman 2 2018, Hitman 3 2021), right? I feel like I probably spent $130ish on it (spread over 5+ years though lol)

      It’s worth noting that the Apple tax on iOS is exactly the same as the Valve tax on Steam: 30%

      It’s a hell of a fee for processing a credit card payment plus a bit of file storage. No wonder neither company feels the need to actually make their own games.

    I can’t figure out which Hitman thing I am supposed to buy. I do really enjoy these games, but even trying to access them sucks. Also, they take up huge amounts of disk space

      None of them (cause you cant). Get the old set of games. They are janky but very fun. They are pretty cheap.

      I bought the second one when it was cheap.

      But anyway. Get the old games, they are in a bundle. I like it. I’ve been playing the original first game. Its jank but fun. I also wanna try absolution. These games are not huge.

          Then just pirate 3. Its supposed to have 1 and 2 missions inside it. That’s how you play it. It was less in size compared to the two previous ones separately.

    OK this is pretty impressive from a technical standpoint. Hitman would probably be a nice game to play on the go since a lot of the game is bite sized stealth sections + a roguelike mode.

    But yeah fuck hitman’s pricing model always pirate it.

      Modern smartphones are very impressive with pc games, gamehub/winlator on a snapdragon 8 elite can run a lot from what I’ve seen.
