Quick Look: Hitman: Episode 2: Sapienza

Hitbrad is back!

I love Dan as the Hitman Coach to Brad

Brad Hitmaker strikes again!

Yay!

Was waiting for this. Favourite 'feature' at the moment.

EDIT: I suspected they might not have finished this in one QL. Glad there's going to be a part 2.

Sweet! Another mission for HitDan: Agent Brad to tackle. These episodic releases are perfect for quick looks since you can pretty much complete the whole episode in that time. Hopefully they fixed the server issues by now.

@baronsamedi: It would be cool to see various GB pairings take on each level. A Vinny/Alex or Vinny/Austin run through would be great.

I don't really care for Hitman but these are very entertaining, please keep these up.

Demon's Souls, Hitman...

Brad getting coached really works well for some reason.

Fox.... Die?

Best level so far! I just hope they fix the online for those having issues. I am loving it though, no issues for me on Ps4

I think I would like playing Hitman games way more if Dan was also there

edit:

mmm mmm mmmmm, that's a spicy piece of content! *kisses fingers*

Wait, can Dan not understand the ethical problem of an engineered virus that can kill people..?

Well that was a botched mission lol

So is noone doing a Nioh Quick look ?

@borklund: Listen there are two sides to every genocidal virus coin!

Use the stairs you walked up arg

20 minutes in, Brad has been in 4 disguises, and hasn't properly utilized any of them. This is going to be a great series.

This is a fantastic Hitdan episode!

@mmarsu: I was hoping Vinny and Austin would take a look at it :(

Even though I was hoping for this, that was really painful to watch at first, especially the whole "How do we get downstairs?" bit...though when they just went completely off the rails, I started loving it.

It is pretty dumb, that the game let's you get away from a situation like the one they ended up near the end.

oh man that axe to the head was the greatest thing ever!

I enjoyed the fact that Dan was trying to work out the controls, then found the button that displays the controls, then decided, "No, it's not that"...

Well from my understanding a quick look is a preview of a ready to release or already released game. Nioh is an alpha/demo. If anything, I would say it would be an Unfinished vid, not a QL.

*edit: Does anyone know if I need to have the first Intro pack or the full season pass to be able to play this second episode? I would like to play this mission but I don't want to buy the first Paris mission or the full season to be able to play it.

This needs to become a series. Brad and Dan just playing through all the Hitman games.

@danryckert the plague masks looked so fucking creepy because they stuffed the nose with good smelling things because they think smell had something to do with getting sick.

Hit me!

Happy that we're getting another installment of Hitdan: Bradgent 47, hope this becomes a thing for the upcoming levels of this game.

The continuing adventures of the most incompetent, hilarious hitmen ever.

I'm pretty sure you need at least the Intro Pack to be able to buy any of the invidual episodes. Couldn't find any official confirmation, though.

Jesus Christ are they just being completely stupid because they know it would annoy people because that is something Dan would do.

As for what Brad said at the end of the video, yes, I would very much like another video of this map.

Ahh, the debate on if I watch this.

I want to run home and play it, without seeing what happens.

But I REAAAAALLY want to see what Brad and Dan get up to. Ahhhhh

Why is that surprising to you?

Dan's is basically the devil on Brad's shoulder

Five minutes in and I just had the realization that Brad and Dan should be doing everything together. Brad keeps Dan's tangents somewhat restrained and Dan makes Brad play games a lot less conservatively. They've got good personality chemistry for these types of videos.

This was really fun. But the ending, where they were fine in the Hazmat suit and didn't know it, makes me think @danryckert and brad don't understand the suspicion system. Even when you're fully incognito, certain people will get suspicious of you. That's indicated by the white dots over their heads. If you avoid those people, you'll be fine. So they could have just killed the virus like they did and walked away...but they ran right past the one person in the entire cave that knew they weren't cool.

@mmarsu: GBE playdate tonight! :D (or at least its tonight in my timezone)

This may be the best Quicklook ever.

That was one of the funniest exchanges I have ever heard on this site:

"I need to take Freddie Mercury's disguise!"

"Take the mustache! It's not gonna work without the mustache!"

Brad and Dan need to do more content together for sure :D

need more of this... more!!

Various controls and systems are various degrees of improved over previous games. From a general game design perspective, it's the best playing Hitman ever. And Sapienza is a peak Hitman level. It's a wide, open level that's dense with detail, looks pretty, has an atmosphere and identity to it, and which doesn't really have any dead-ends, it feels like you can just keep walking around exploring and finding new places.

What I've been most impressed by is all the incidental dialog, there's such depth and broadness to it. I walked into town with the hazmat suit just to see what people would say. And much of the dialog is amusing, particularly when civilians give descriptions to guards. Does a lot to liven up the game. Io's doing a lot of good work.

Shame they fucked up the part where single player progression is an online only feature for no justifiable reason. At least (on PC) you now don't necessarily get booted to the main menu when there's connection issues, can try to reconnect from the error message popup.

Hit Mango!

SCIENCE IS THE POETRY OF REALITY!
