Is Hitman 3 (with all content from 1 and 2) of lower disk size than Hitman 2 with content from 1? Because that really ballooned in size.

yes:

Install size on my PC right now is 64Gb - initial download back in 2021 was 52Gb if I remember correctly. Don't know whether the size difference is new content or just decompression but it's gonna be between those two.

So if I want a coop tactical shooter, my choice is between the super old Swat 3, the aging RS Vegas 2 and the new one, Ready or Not, developed by people who may or may not have brain rot. That's it ?
I was thinking how much fun Vegas 2 was and how Extraction should have been Vegas 3.

Yup. Hitman lets you unleash all the fury you want. Its just unforgiving if theres a lot of enemies (unless you play on easy, then its a bit more lenient, but still, Agent 47 takes more or less realistic damage...unti he magically heals away the bullet wounds after a while).

Its not moralising you unless you care about the leaderboard score at the end (there a points system to unlock new weapons, suits, gadgets and entrance points, and that system is tied to efficiency, time, etc – and it will deduct points from murdering innocents, but that shouldnt stop you from just having fun with the game). They didnt put a gazillion way to kill in that game if they were punishing you for using em. I know I've done horrible things to those poor NPCs in those huge levels :p

Also, I've FINALLY finished Tales of Arise. Good game! Bit long. But good.
Does it use the score to lock progression? As in, if I don't get a cumulative score from the first X levels I can't continue past a certain point without going back and grinding earlier missions to get S or 100% or whatever system it uses? If not, I've been afraid for nothing.

The developer of DUSK has a short horror game coming out in March. Looks moody as heck.

Getting Quake-engine Soma vibes from the screenshots

I just realized that Activision owns shitloads of old franchises from gaming history that are AWESOME and should come to PC storefronts (some might already be on GOG, I didn't check). Microsoft is way better at respecting history than Activision ever was, so maybe there's a chance we see some of these down the road.

  • INTERSTATE 76
  • King's Quest
  • Police Quest (not a great look in the US these days, but these games were fun in the past)
  • Space Quest (hard to do joke-y games, but these were popular at the time)
  • Pitfall
  • Zork
  • Quest for Glory
  • Tenchu
  • Guitar Hero
And of course the ones everyone remembers in Tony Hawk, all the Blizzard games (Starcraft, WoW, Diablo, Overwatch), etc.

Could be some really cool remasters of true classics there. And maybe some studios get inspired to continue or remake some of these in modern style. Heck just getting the old Guitar Hero games playable on PC with new licensing would be a MAJOR achievement.
The Tenchu IP is owned by FromSoftware. Their last attempt at Tenchu (Z) wasn't very good, but I'd still love for them to take another try at it. Or have Acquire make another entry. Funny thing is, after From fumbled Tenchu Z, they had Accquire develop the next entry, which was Shadow Assassins.

I just want one more Tenchu game before I die. :cryingwhyblob:

No, the points system - "Location mastery" its called – is used to unlock new items: lockpicks, outfits, new starting locations within a level...that kind of thing.

But the story levels...you can play the levels in any order, start at the very end if you wish, there is no gatekeeping whatsoever, you dont even need to play the tutorial or anything, just play it the way you wanna.

The score is just a rating how well you did, but it rewards replaying the levels and getting to know them, playing them differently etc, with these extra unlocks.
They also make it more convenient: for example, the lockpick is easy to get, but its also really useful. (mind you, you'll still be able to play without these extra items. you'll find crowbars and keys to get doors open if you dont have a lockpick)

Oh and the score you get after a level is also used for leaderboards. I was top 5 in the Stadia rankings for one Hitman 3 level once. Not a lot of people played it on Stadia, I reckon :p

For more on Mastery & unlocks, check this Mastery


Nice to hear. I think HITMAN 2 was like 120 gigs or something of that sort.
Hitman 2 (Steam) is 149GB on my PC
Yeah it was pretty bonkers how large that game is/was

Nobody Saves the World is really, really good! Imagine an RPG with 16 unique classes, but instead of having to do a new run with each class, you can unlock other classes by doing quests, and change to a character of another class whenever you want. When your characters get enough experience, you can even use attacks, perks and specials from other classes for that character. This is really cool and so much fun! I can't recommend this game enough!

Oh, soon then :)

I am hoping for a complete package for a nice price

edit:: Just read the patch notes and it looks like that there will be two different packages for Hitman 3 :( Standard and Deluxe Edition

Six Extraction was boring and bland. Not gonna use my time on it.

Hoping for a good price on Hitman 3, already have the previous games and DLCs.

Mmh, I could see myself giving Hitman a third try. But I have to remember how you reset progression, it's foggy.
Maybe simply the starter edition to play the first two games with less hd space.

The joys of IOI release: make sense of what piece of DLC you have and the convoluted upgrade path.
So I have H1 (with everything except the Blood Money pack), H2 with every DLC except for the Silver to Gold Upgrade and GOTY Legacy Upgrade. Do I have access to every levels of H1-2 ?
I suppose I'm missing some costumes, but if that's the extant of it I'm good, only interested in the levels.

LEGO Star Wars trilogy - 9 Films!
Now that is a TON of content and i think they're my favorite LEGO series. I haven't played The Hobbit or LOTR LEGO for years but i remember losing track of things as they attempted to do a non-linear presentation. I might be wrong about that but i do remember getting confused but the Star Wars LEGO games are great.

Well, Were great, haven't played for years which is why i have the itch. I also want to get Lego City as that's supposed to be great too.

I got spoilt with Control. 50% launch discount on Steam for the Ultimate Edition.

I now expect a decent discount on release on Steam or a complete edition, preferably both.

Still not sure if I want it. Played some Hitman 2 but not as much as I thought I would. On paper its a lot of things I like, I just didn't get into it for some reason.
Yeah, I bought 1 + 2 with dlc's and remember only playing two maps in the end (not included tutorials). Its strange though because I can see they are incredible games, I think I just get overwhelmed with all the things you can do, and you want to try experience everything but the checklist shows how much you missed. Then I load up the next map and get this guilty feeling like I didn't experience the previous map properly.

Anyway will most likely get the third game to complete the collection, really hoping it's not expensive, I've got 4 weddings within 4 months to go to, so things are expensive for a while.

They kept it confusing :p


( I really hope Imgur works this time)

Edit I just realised this isnt even all. The "7 deadly sins" are all individual DLCs too. jeeesus IOI...is it REALLY so hard to make it simple?
