#

i somethime think how fun hitman was,k then remember the hellscape that is trying to buy hitman 3 when i already own the first two

fathom juniper
#

oh yeah

#

that's the real challenge right there

#

just buying the damn thing

clear python
#

lmfao so true

fathom juniper
#

like - hitman 1 was great
the isle of sgail in 2 is one of the greatest levels ever put into a stealth game

clear python
#

i won't buy it for the time being which is a real shame but apparently if I want the full package i gotta pay like 70 bucks all over

fathom juniper
#

but is it worth the money and hassle and then some more money and then some more headaches to even get this legally?

#

especially since you won't even get all the content?

#

idunno

lost igloo
clear python
#

I'm probably misremembering but I also followed that flowchart and it was sth like 'you could've bought this shortly after release but now you're out of luck'

clear python
#

i dont envy IOI's position to somehow unify three games under different publishing and licensing agreements and maybe that's they best that they could do but it's a shame

fathom juniper
clear python
#

though funny thing that the final WoA with all three parts manages to be smaller than Hitman 2 alone

fathom juniper
#

hitman 1 was supposed to release in 2 parts - 3 levels each
but then they switched that model too into selling each level separately
AND THEN they sold the whole package

#

then you can turn it into a base
a hub of sorts for levels from other games
or entire games

#

you can do that with 2 too but then that brings a whole host of other engine and gameplay changes

#

and it's just...
just

#

it's such a freakin mess, man PES_BoiStop

#

trust me - i went through this on a ps4 and i... don't want to go back

clear python
#

wonder if we'll get ioi's 007, wasn't there sth about james bond film rights being sold or sth?

fathom juniper
#

then there was this whole save file migration kerfuffle that required you to use a separate website to convert your save files from one hitman game to another

#

that... didn't end well

fathom juniper
#

they showed a new trailer on the switch 2 showcase...

#

...which quickly turned out to be the same trailer just with a slightly different title card dusa

clear python
#

le funny pistol chamber animation?

fathom juniper
#

yeah

#

ignoring the three in the middle

#

which one is which?

#

does WOA contain everything?

clear python
#

ah yes, the h3 access pass which gives me access to, uh, h2

fathom juniper
#

and what is that last thing?
is it a set of hitman 3 levels for hitman 2?
or a set of hitman 2 levels for hitman 3?

#

there's hitman starter pack, himan World of ass celebrity bundle, a bunch of hitman 3 packs, hitman 2, hitman 2:2:2022, hitman 3 sapienza which is a hitman 1 level (which is actually the sixth hitman), hitman collection which includes 5 games

#

and hitman absolution

#

which apparently includes two gamWHAT THE F- IS GOING ON GUYS!?

clear python
#

that's just abso and sniper innit

fathom juniper
#

is a goddamn chart

#

and the title card has timed content which we can't even access anymore

fathom juniper
#

apparently it's hitman absolution and blood money

clear python
#

guh

#

they make it more complicated for no reason

#

why do they have separate versions for sapienza and part one

fathom juniper
#

i just want
a 60 bucks game

clear python
#

i love sapienza to death but why

fathom juniper
#

called "Hitman: all the crap edition"

#

that's it

#

and you get a 10 bucks discount per every hitman game you have on your account - that's it

#

there's hitman world of assassination free starter pack (which has a demo)
hitman world of assassination episode zapienza
hitman world of assassination part one (there's no part two)
hitman world of assassination standard edition <--- you are here
and hitman world of assassination deluxe edition

#

so the second to last is one full game but deluxe is three full games?

clear python
#

i would assume that standard edition is already three games, just not the deluxe content

#

19 maps sounds enough for three games

fathom juniper
#

i wanna google "how to buy a hitman?" but i'm pretty sure that's gonna put me on some sort of watchlist

fathom juniper
clear python
#

guh

#

but then why wouldn't they just say 'two games' or 'one game'

fathom juniper
#

i don't know!

clear python
#

me buying rollerdrome: 'yes i would like 11 levels please'

fathom juniper
#
  • bims internally *
clear python
#

JUST LIST THE GAMES

#

WHO BUYS GAMES LEVEL BY LEVEL

#

so yes, standard edition/19 maps = all three games, just not the bonus stuff

fathom juniper
#

and the best thing is
according to this chart - standard edition has some hitman 3 levels
but not all of them

#

wtf

clear python
#

it does, right? new york and haven were hitman 2 bonuses

fathom juniper
#

nah new york was in hitman 3

#

i think

clear python
#

the bank?

#

nah i played that, deffo 2

fathom juniper
#

but then again there's probably some convoluted way to play it in hitman 1

#

from 2000

clear python
#

codename 69

#

tried to play that

#

couldn't aim at the helicopter in the first level

#

gave up šŸ‘

fathom juniper
#

there's also hitman vr which adds another layer to this mess
hitman sniper assassin which can't be confused with the other two sniper assassins
hitman freelancer that's actually a roguelite, some multiplayer stuff that was in 2 but wasn't there in 1 (don't even know about 3)

#

there's probably some other stuff im missing

clear python
#

assassin ghost sniper warrior 2 by city io interactive

fathom juniper
#

imagine supergiants giving hades 2 for free but then selling individual boons

#

and then having god packs

#

and a way to somehow port this into hades 1 that was sold in a completely different way

#

that's what this feels like PES_Lul

clear python
#

i only bought the hadeez 2 overworld pack

fathom juniper
#

wait
are you telling me you didn't get the hades 2: underworld of assassination pack?

#

dude you can buy so many cool levels for that

#

hell you can even port some characters from 1 to 2 if you use an external site to convert your save files dusa

clear python
#

why would i want that

#

i got the melinoe sniper pack instead

fathom juniper
#

bruh

#

now im even more confused

#

so world of assasination part one has one game
but world of ass is... three games?

#

did i get that right?

clear python
#

i would just buy all hitmans at this point

#

at least one of them has to be the right one

fathom juniper
#

and WOA deluxe edition is that + some dlc
while deluxe bundle is just some dlc

#

and then some other dlc is in some other pack

fathom juniper

sudden thought.. when i was playing Satisfactory in 2021, it was funny to see a device called "AI restrictor" that was used to craft smart conveyor splitters

I want an AI restrictor irl

A bit and byte buster?

#

Ok, what's that game? Because it looks perfect for some tomfoolery

fathom juniper
#

it's reelism 2

#

a doom mod that's... big enough to be like two full games

#

some of the funniest crap i've ever played KEKW

#

hands down

#

basically - it's a wave based horde shooter that works on a REEL system
what's a REEL system?
every wave game rolls slots and each reel determines what enemies you're getting, what weapons and items are spawning and a modifier

#

and it's pure shenanigans

#

like - this mod was my goty 2023
it's that good

signal kayak
#

It really does look like it

#

Ramming down a horde of zombos like that has got to be fun

fathom juniper
#

you want a gun that shoots bees and/or cars?
you want a brick that bricks your game?
you want to take a trip to dog hell that plays midi Master Of Puppers on loop?

#

if you answered yes to any of those then Reelism 2 is a mod for you

#

there's a level that's just a big floating pizza with car-sized peperonis
there's a level that takes place on a space station built to such shoddy standards a single grenade can blow the whole thing up

#

there's a weapon that's just a basketball which you can slam-dunk on enemies from above
one time i had moon gravity modifier on and slam-dunked on an explosive enemy and the result yeeted me to a different continent

#

you can land a reel that turns you into a tank
and if you're really lucky - land a second one that makes everything tiny resulting in you turning into a teeny tiny toy tank PES_Lul

fathom juniper
#

@signal kayak like come on - don't tell me this doesn't look fun

@ocean iris oh my god dude

I'm getting kinda tired of Blue Prince's rng at this point

#

How far are you in? Or how many days in I suppose PanSweatSmile

#

I'm at Day...40ish? Discovered room 46 but will have to get a decent run to get to it

#

And I can say...yeaaah it's quite unique of a RNG I guess

#

It's not an action game so you cannot even really enjoy doing same loop

#

Here you have to focus on certain tasks and just hope game will treat you nicely

#

Like I'm trying for solid 15days to get stupid power from Boiler Room to Lab but A- you have zero idea what rooms might have vents in them so the power can transfer and B- it's still random so I had like...3 actual runs where I got both, miles away from one another

#

The actual puzzles and mystery and discovering stuff is fantastic however

green scaffold
#

LET'S GO, apparently Big Brother is watching because after my rambles I had absolutely perfect run, managed to finally get Boiler Room going to a Lab so I unlocked what seems like fimal permanent addition, I made a powerhammer and put it in coatcheck, most importantly I reached Room 46 and thus I have beat Blue Prince! Of course there is still plenty to discover so I will roam around plus from what I gathered they now give some trophies for challenges so I'm gonna check some out. Still need to explore Underground better

Plus need to find more red letters, I only got 3 so far

2 is optional imho

#

it's not bad, but...
monolith always struggled with sequels and this one is no different

also - it kinda crosses the line of good taste because this is the only game i've ever seen that has (seriously - mature shock content warning under this spoiler tag) ||a real time first person sexual assault scene set in nightmare realm|| and it's there just for shock value

like - the first one has some messed up stuff going on in the background but they never show you this so your imagination has to fill in all the nasty blanks

Oi @fathom juniper , on a scale of 0 to a quadrillion, how badly do you want to chuck Borderlands TPS into the sun?

fathom juniper
#

depends

#

are we talking TPS with dialogues on or off?

#

Uh...I'm playing it with dialogues, but pick whatever tbh

fathom juniper
#

without dialogues - about terminator 3 out of 6

#

with dialogues on - a terminator 5 out of 6

#

chuck it right into the core of the nearest star

#

oh yeah OFB is a bit more difficult, took me three tries just for the first baby level lol

fathom juniper
#

BUT IT'S SO GOOD

fathom juniper
#

i like that intro bit where they actually give you some context

#

and then the game fades in - no hud no nothing

signal kayak
#

Wait I wanted to react with that emoji, not ping you with that emoji lmao

fathom juniper
#

and you jump out and the hud shows up and your costume changes and you see all the enemies right away and this cool new music kicks in

#

and it's like BAM
cool new stuff

signal kayak
#

Let me guess, the space travel part of it taking forever to go from point A to point B in a vacuum...contributes to the score

fathom juniper
#

nah not really

#

i actually like the slow schmoovment and buttslams and what not

#

mechanically all of this works really well on a gamepad

So it wasn't just me shadeohboy

especially on split screen where your 120 FOV gets multiplied to like 240

Haha fnnuy USB stick go brrrr

I'm playing right now as Aurelia

#

Those headshots are super satisfying...but not exactly easy to proc while aiming with a controller :/

fathom juniper
signal kayak
#

Yup, cryo damage, freezing, using snipers and using coop as one entire tree of abilities (Gearbox why)

lost igloo
#

the jack clone guy is fun too

signal kayak
#

Iirc it's the first character I'm actually leaning to sniper play out of all of Borderlands, still have to play as Zer0 and Mordecai

#

Ironically used them a lot with Maya

fathom juniper
#

i played it with a buddy who's like...
hardcoded
to press every [random] button he sees in any game

#

just a total agent of chaos

#

so of course he picked claptrap

lost igloo
#

headshots are easy when they're floating in a ball

fathom juniper
#

and the experience that followed was just...
painful

signal kayak
#

Because of course they did zaglol

fathom juniper
#

to be fair - playable claptrap is a fun concept

#

first of all - he's not canon
he's not a part of this story - they just shoehorned him in as a joke

signal kayak
#

Good thing Aurelia is straightforward to build, but then..."Jack" and Claptrap say hi

fathom juniper
#

second - i like the idea of him having basically all abilities

#

but then making all of them crap PES_Lul

#

and third - he's just really fun to shoot

signal kayak
#

It's totally in character

fathom juniper
#

thank god for friendly fire

signal kayak
#

Keeeeek

#

And here's the question I've got about playing as Claptrap...
Since he doesn't use oxygen, how does the gameplay in space change with him? Do you actually consume oxygen to boost in midair, or do you run the Tediore O2 kits that give gun damage per O2 unit?

fathom juniper
#

It’s fine PES_Lul

#

I knew fear wasn’t your type

#

I was just bugging you to play cause there’s an Alma there

#

Anyways I’m having the opposite problem now - I’m playing something that was hyped up and it’s… it’s not good

#

Bioshock infinite aged like milk

#

First of all - I’m gonna barf
Max fov is like 80 - which is pretty low on its own
But I’m playing it on a steam deck inches away from my face so it should be even higher than normal - a 100 at least

clear python
fathom juniper
#

And that combined with the stiff neck syndrome (I’m playing on sticks) and the fact that everything is swaying on those floating islands makes me just peepoPuke

#

Also the combat kinda sucks on sticks

#

Naaaah I’m not feeling it

#

Pass

clear python
#

shooter on sticks, eh

rustic falcon
#

i mean i had my eyes on it before miko šŸ¤“ i found it first in next fest

#

then it came out and people were like wow its good and it sure is

clear python
#

wtf

rustic falcon
#

i am very proud of finding stuff in next fest, wishlisting without playing the demo, and then when its out and people like it i get to be like yay i knew it would be good

#

same with mouthwashing but that got totally out of proportion

clear python
#

wishlisting and playing without consuming any promo content šŸ¤

rustic falcon
#

not going to lie thats how i enjoyed mouthwashing and could form my own opinion on it and seeing thousands of people just not do that was baffling

#

i think the most of it that i saw other than the initial demo page was a negative backloggd review that said "this game is bad its just a walking simulator and a visual novel" say no more im on it

clear python
#

i just find looking at promo stuff and hearing people discuss it way more boring than actually playing it

rustic falcon
#

especially for a game that is 2 hours i dont know

fathom juniper
#

And high fov

clear python
#

yeah cuz its autoaiming

fathom juniper
#

Nah I mean the laser and the launcher

rustic falcon
#

i want to give bioinfinite another try sometime because it was one of my first forays into games

#

but when i last tried it i got basically to the end and stopped

clear python
fathom juniper
#

What do you mean you can’t do a 720 backflip mango over a deadly laser while headshotting two dudes on the other side of arena right away ?

#

Nah but seriously
I have to give credit to rollerdrome for putting in a lot of work into even something so basic as aiming

#

They really made sure it’s as smooth as possible

clear python
#

hmm didnt know you could have much nuance in that, since i only know mouse aim which basically has no issues besides laggy games

fathom juniper
#

Oh yeah there’s a lot that goes into stick aiming

#

I mean - hell - compare just aiming on sticks between stuff like - well - bioshock and doom eternal

#

Supposedly it’s the same movement, but there’s a world of difference between them

#

With stuff like aim assist and magnetism and the acceleration curve and so on
And that’s on top of your normal stick speed and yes - even the field of view

#

Although there are games that can f up aiming even on kbm

What happened?

lusty pendant
#

which happened with both DE and ghost trick, but it might also be from having read a lot of crime mystery novels

fathom juniper
#

DE?

#

deus ex?

lusty pendant
#

which sort of raised my "standard" for a good mystery story

#

Discord elysium

fathom juniper
#

or elisium at the disco?

lusty pendant
#

lmao disco

fathom juniper
#

ye

lusty pendant
#

I'm keeping that typo it's funny

fathom juniper
#

discord elysium would be one hell of a sequel

#

you failed a speech check
you get banned for repporting a scammer PES_Lul

I first thought it would be a "pure" crime story then the ||supernatural stuff happened so I was like "ok maybe it's like the Fringe TV show that mixes supernatural with the core mystery", but then it ended up being its own side story and the murderer was "angry dude you just met" so I was like uhhhh. what||

#

The one exception was pokemon legends arceus where all the poketubers I followed were like "this is overrated and boring" but it turned out quite pleasant

fathom juniper
#

yeah that's quite interesting

#

if i'm researching a game i'm more willing to try it if someone describes it as rough but with some good ideas

#

not perfect but well on it's way there

#

but when i see people going like oh this is perfect this is the best thing since slice bread with not a single fault - i'm already suspicious

lusty pendant
#

I might have said it here before but I managed to guess 2 big twists in ghost trick thanks to having read agatha christie novels with similar plot points and felt very proud lmao

fathom juniper
#

you would make for a good detective

lusty pendant
#

I didn't finish it but the ideas were good to experience

fathom juniper
#

just get a trenchcoat, a sixshooter and a pack of marlboro reds and you're set

#

proper detective

Another game

#

You wake up stranded, after seemingly crashing your ship on The Sarcophagus — a giant, space-drifting, cosmic uterus holding an ancient demonic being known as ULTROS. Trapped in the eternal loop of a black hole, you will have to explore The Sarcophagus and meet its inhabitants to understand the part you play.

Are you the gruesome breaker of…

I think the story of DE is not very interesting in the end but the storytelling – well, ā€šmade up for itā€˜ would be the wrong wording because that what it cares about – is more important

fathom juniper
#

i'm a big fan of the series
and after marathoning the entire series (some of the movies twice) just to connect all the dots i'm suspecting some ||mgs2-styled chicanery|| in this movie

#

which is supposed to be the last one

lusty pendant
fathom juniper
#

which reminds me

#

why is there so little proper spy games?

clear python
#

waiting for 007, eh

fathom juniper
#

like - it's a genre full of mystery, romance and action
stealth, shootouts, sabotage, suspense, sexy cars

#

it's perfect for videogames

#

and the most recent game of that kind we've got is alpha protocol
a 15 years old ue3-ass looking game with more bugs than features

#

like - don't get me wrong
i love me some alpha protocols

clear python
#

i feel like itā€˜s difficult /not/ to adapt it as a terrible mix of cutscenes, setpieces and scripted stealth

#

I just can’t quite imagine how it’s done tbh

fathom juniper
#

but it's a game that can't even hold together even in it's most basic menu screen that has just three buttons

fathom juniper
lusty pendant
#

the DE dialog mechanic would make a good spy game I think

signal kayak
fathom juniper
#

they were precisely that

lusty pendant
#

like spies isn't all about sneaking around, it's also trying to convince people of your cover story and trying to live your pretend life correctly etc

#

Do they have those quiet sections? I havenā€˜t played any of them but all I see were straight-ups shooters lmao

yeah

#

hitman's stealth mechanics kinda suck ass, actually

#

but those new games as a whole - are amazing

clear python
#

idk i found them alright. not that i have high standards

fathom juniper
#

nah - pure stealth in those games is barebones af

#

it's all the stuff around it what makes those games great

lusty pendant
#

tangentially, apparently karl jobst is bankrupt?

clear python
#

better than all those stealth games whose levels become increasingly warehouse-y and all ur unlocks are GUNS AND WEAPONS KILL THEM LOUDLY AND GRENADES AND

fathom juniper
clear python
#

nah but blacklist fifty years ago. dont play much stealth nowadays

fathom juniper
#

they're built on the same systems, more or less

#

epic ranking system with pacifist stealth, pacifist stealth but you press a different button when taking out enemies, and third-person fps (why would you want this)

how's OFB going?

clear python

still just the first match, tried some more challenges in the story

fathom juniper

third match on OFB is just PES_Ok

clear python
#

I think I closely missed the ā€šno damage spidey tankā€˜ achievement but trying to get it could be frustrating lol

fathom juniper
#

made civetta summit my favorite map

#

honestly?
it's not worth it

#

if you're not sniping it by shooting grenades at a 45 degrees angle and hoping for the best

clear python
#

itā€˜s not that hard i think. hardest part is when the trash mobs spawn

fathom juniper
#

then you have to rely on RNG and hope THE SECOND BULLET COMING OUT OF THE BARREL doesn't hit you

#

yeah - every time you think this thing is firing
it's actually firing twice

#

you can see hitmarks on your right, dodge left and still get hit by some imaginary hitscan attack

clear python
#

yeah that was my problem previously and idk how my random dodging did it i wasnā€˜t hit. I just dodged all the way until it stops lol

it's weird
