3 **** out of 10 ****.

I feel like you're just raging for the sake of raging now.

Sniper challenge isnt bad.

Had about 35 goes at it, got to 2.5mill high score, havnt bothered getting higher.

But still, it's kind of a demo.

God damn you're a pedantic cry baby.

I think the game only has two sections in it where you are on the run. All others are filled with contracts. The stages were you are on the run are great fun nonetheless

Have you played the game?

None of those are contracts.

Yes. The chase scenes are at the beginning after terminus and with the agency later in hope.
Thats it

Thanks for this thread guys its given me a good 20 mins of amazing reading .
Dont think I'll ever fully understand why people lose their minds when they see a score they dont like but I guess its because I know the score is Joabys opinion and Im free to make up my own mind.

BLOPS 2 got an 8.5. Now, on GA thats an above average game. I disagree. Im 5 mins into the 2nd mission and thats where Im gonna stay because the game is driving me nuts. Im not gonna go and call Joaby names and try to be condescending because he enjoyed it more than me. Im just gonna not play the game anymore.

And the next time someone smashes a game I enjoy? I'll shrug it off and maybe have an adult conversation with them about why I enjoyed it, not why they're wrong, if they're interested to know.

Who has played the game? Thats who gets to give their opinion not those that haven't.If I play a game and think its **** I wouldn't play through again to see if it's gotten better, unless it's been modded of course.

I didn't say it was all a chase, I said he was on the run.

And none of the other kills you do are contracts.

well iam off now to pre load hitman off steam. Going into already thinking whats the point.. but as a fan of the series i will hope for the best and hope i dont dislike

They are targets you have to eliminate. If you want to fuss over definition of words then only the first level of the game is a contract. 47 isnt with the agency after that.

haha, I saw the score and though he must've selected the wrong button to score. Then I read it. Then I lol'd.

Switch, you're onto it dude! Hope you enjoy it!

Im a huge series fan. Blood money wasnt polished like this game is and while it has some issues(what game doesnt?) Its an awesome game and a big step forward. The pc version is great.

That's the spirit, if your into it play it and decide for yourself, don't just go on about someone elses opinion, make your own.
Fabulists love sodomy, just 'cause I'm not interested in it doesn't mean they shouldn't do it.

Pathetic.

It is highly amusing how the IGN score is being bandied about to justify how the game should of gotten a higher review rating.

Obvious noobs know nothing about the backlash IGN has received in the past for giving high reviews to people who grease their palms.

Everyone who disagrees with me should just shut up. You are all dumb and should fall from the balcony of a 50 story building into the oncoming path of a fire truck.

I would videotape this event and then upload it to Youtube and get rich off advertisments.

The falling from 50 stories should suffice.

A fire truck as well, is just stupid.

c'mon panda post the link to people saying they are getting 100 fps. You gotta back this **** up bro or you're going to be just as bad as someone who writes reviews based purely on how they were treated by the developer company..

First Palestine and Israel, now Joaby and Panda. The horror... The horror...

This post is like a solid gold block of chocolate it's so god damned rich

All hail joaby, who tells it like it is.

You are stupid.

Your mum told me so when I was fisting her whilst she had her monthly shower.

2700K @4GH + GTX 670, 1920 X 1080 with ultra settings (inc Tesselation), V sync on , pretty much 60fps all the time. A few of the crowd scenes can drop it down to 45fps.

Only reason you're not getting any links, is because you supplied none, which made me google the **** on my own.

1- You gave me no proper info and/or links to sources.
2- I had to find this **** myself, so you can aswell. Google is a good search engine.



"V sync on"

Would someone who's never played any Hitman games in the series get anything out of Absolution, Joab?

I agree. A few times i have passed over watching a movie because of bad reviews. Only t olike it when i do end up watching it. Same goes for games. If i listen to everyone here i would have thrown my xbox out the window a long time ago. But i like it, despite popular opinion.
But i do understand his frustration or rage. If a game gets too many bad reviews ppl will not buy the game. The less ppl who buy the game, means less time, money and devlopment goes into the next one. (if there is one)

It's such a hammy story, such a buggy game... I dunno. I guess you might, but there are better games out there.

hahha the game sucks get more butthurt.

That's a decent system and should run any game smoothly. But you need to turn v-sync off to know your fps... in any case, wasn't your argument that weaker systems run ok? No support for that claim here.

That link stirred many emotions within me

First was the strong nostalgia for Silent Assasin and its music which was overcome by the hilarity of the dubstep wrestling match but eventually wittled down to anger that they screwed the game up so much

Prompted button sequences isn't gameplay, its diarrhea

Just goes to show how thoroughly you read Joaby's replies to your posts. I've played the sniper challenge on a gtx690, it's not impressive.

So much crying over a **** franchise.

Absolute fail attempt at a meme. Perhaps you should learn how they work before you try to create one through a **** meme generator site.

this meme wont do well in the meme pool it is unlikly to reproduce

expert on virgins... lol virgin.

Quicktime events are worse than the holocaust. I wish developers would stop putting in **** gameplay features that do nothing but detract from the immersion.

... I just wanted to get in on the quoting fun.

Shame you messed it up.

looking on meta critic other critics dident mind it

Lol'd at how mad Pandaemonean is.

I quite liked the story. The characters are believable and many of them i took pleasure in killing. I completed the game twice and didnt have a single crash or bug.

Thay section of button sequence only happens at one point during the game and only when you chose one particular way to kill a target. It doesnt represent the game at all. Absolutuons gameplay makes blood money feel broken as its so much more refined. The video is a misrepresentation of the game and to post it is misleading in trying to support a position on the game.

It runs the game at max detail. Vsync on limits the renderer so without it the fps will be higher. Again this means it has no problem running the game. I keep vsync on because it eliminates tearing and syncs with the monitor to mske movement smooth.
