I originally posted this in the steam forum but was told it would be better to do so here. First let me say how much of a long time fan I am of this franchise and how unique it is in gaming. I remember the first time I saw HitmanC47 come out and I thought to myself errr maaa gerd I get to be a hitman!
That being said I am absolutely terrible at the most recent game. Even though I think it’s great. I can say with great shame that I have failed every single elusive target I have attempted so far. Yes yes, I know it’s pathetic.
Anyway I wanted to share some thoughts about what would really make the game more immersive for me and probably others as well. So bear with me.
I really do like the latest installment of the hitman series and I will most likely be purchasing the new game. However I am saddened by the fact that there are no upgrades available to be bought as well as actual money($ values) being given to you after the completion of each mission which are dependent on the skill in which your hit was performed.
This could add a lot to the immersion as well as give the player a sense of progression. Also I remember in one Hitman installment that you got to read the paper after each hit and it would be a story depicting the aftermath of your work. This would be a great addition to the current series and offer players more immersion.
Perhaps there could be achievements or unlocks also related to how well or how psychopathic your hit was. I am sure that I’m not the only one but sometimes I found it quite fun to simply mow everyone down in the level when things didn’t work out as planned. Like where is the gatling gun? I know, I know it’s not very Hitmanesque but since when was having options a bad thing?
Looking forward to the newest installment even if it is very similar to the last game(which is pretty awesome). However I tend to find the progression disconnected from the actual immersion of being a hitman getting paid for doing awesome hits. Like you finish the level and you get these points like it’s pac-man or something. Why not make it actual money that is used to get the unlocks and perhaps cosmetic items?
Performing a hit then receiving 160k points just seems really…off to me.
