Yea, it's the best in the series, definitely worth the money.

Thats arguable,i say Silent Assassin was the best Hitman game.

I'd say that Codename 47 and Blood money are awesome and I never liked Silent Assassin nor Contracts.
Dishonored was a fun game for those who don't care about game balance and like being god-like, but it was a terrible stealth game.Originally Posted by Giaddon
With great scepticism I've looked forward to this game. I don't think I'm too cynical if I think people shouldn't get their hopes up after the initial direction the game seems to be taking is so very wrong. So many claim "it's just marketing!" "We haven't seen the game yet!" like it's supposed to convince me. I've seen big companies take their franchise in to what is for me the completely wrong direction. Although I haven't played Absolution yet, all signs seem to point this is the case here as well. This video sums up how I feel and have felt since we got the first information about this game (very minor spoilers):
That wrestling this is actually pretty cool if it is just one option. You've been assigned to take out a wrestler, why not grab a costume and kill him in the ring. The QTE's are dumb, but I guess you wouldn't have those if you took him out another way? Also kind of weird he takes off the mask...
Yeah, it's disconcerting, but hopefully it's just one of several options for assassinating that guy.
"Maybe it's an option" doesn't sound very convincing to me. I think it's too easy to sweep it under the table like that. Maybe I am just too cynical, but I've seen it happen time and again.
Yeah, don't get me wrong, a lot of stuff about Absolution looks anti-Hitman, but I do think if you had a mission to take out a wrestler it's a neat option to be able to disguise as a wrestler and kill him in the ring. Maybe that's TOO Hitman for Absolution.
That's what I'm afraid of. I loved the silly options in Blood Money (Insane Florist rating!), but I think the player got a silent assassin rating for murdering the guy without a mask in front of hundreds of people.
WIT ! Conclusion: Not so good..

Another great franchise ruined. it has so much potentiall. i read PC gamer review and they mention Cutscene Assasination. really??
so it means targets will be automatically killed?
When we developed this game, we fell the need to bring the stealth genre to the next level, so we designed it with the sole purpose of satisfying the new audiences while not alienating our core gamers... so you can press square to stealth...
Even if the game provides 1000 options for the kill, that option with QTE is still retarded, no matter where you look at it. Is designing a melee system that hard?
I would assume so, considering very few games actually do get it right.
Also, the QTE awards a Silent Assassin rating. Its so embarrasing
“There are objectives in the game that involve walking through the only entrance to a room and aiming at someone’s face in slow motion. React too slowly and they shoot first and then gloat in game over scenes that you may remember from Batman’s adventures in Arkham.”
“Remarkably, most levels don’t have a target – they’re about getting from one place to another instead of hitting a man”
Tabumdish! :D

To be fair to the game, the QTE system is probably the best way around that encounter. It would be quite ridiculous to design a whole control scheme around wrestling for a sequence that lasts a minute, whilst just having generic melee combat would look silly there.
The issue is more that the kill was rewarded with a silent assassin rating.
WTF??? most level dont have targets??
then what is the point of Hitman? and it even has QTEs??
let face it. Cover, See through walls, QTEs (worst mechanics ever), Finishing Moves, cutscenes assasination...
they ruined it to apeal lowest common denominator. this is not Hitman
Just read WOT I THINK on main page and stop repeating yourself men.
