The Second Half of That Hitman DLC: Colorado

Perfect for my Sunday morning coffee!

Holy Shit! Five minutes in and already the video is off to a good start.

Sunday, October 9th. 2016.

Something went well in a Hitman video with Dan & Brad.

It's a shame that the guy got suspicious on Brad when he disabled the safety the first time. He's not supposed to. Whenever someone is suspicious, the best thing to do is run the fuck away.

Wow the fact I set my fire alarm off this morning while making an omelet suddenly feels much scarier....

Oh my god... Brad finally managed to use the proximity mine properly.

Yes!

D'Valde. That is the famous blood money mission in the opera theater.

Giant Bomb, aggressively misinformed as usual :) Just to repeat my post from the last video:

The video game on the TV in this mission is Kane and Lynch 2, not Freedom Fighters. EA owns the rights to FF, so IO and SquareEnix can't actually use any assets from it.

I guess I keep forgetting, that IOI maybe (for whatever reason) changed the whole premise of 47 with this game and that he's not just a clone who was born in a lab anymore...maybe? That'd at least explain how 47 might've been the other boy...still kinda silly, though, because it's suppose to take place after Absolution and references things from the previous parts. Not that him being a clone ever had that big of a role in games beyond Codename 47, granted.

Man, ever since Hitman 2 I've felt so lost with these stories.

Mission itself was a fun one, bit of a change to the formula. At the same time I really hope this doesn't mean that the season finale will be a similiar infiltration type as well.

Guys, Brad is too good at this game. It's getting a little too similar to the rest of the high-skill runs of the game.

Liquid? Liquid!? LIQUUUUID!!!

Yeah, that was a weird one. I've done that opportunity three or four times (never noticed the documents in the car though...), and that guy has never been an issue. I actually think the opportunity failed because Brad did the training in time, so she'll never be in the ram position again - AFAICT, they repeat indefinitely until you beat the target time.

Edit: I second "Whenever someone is suspicious, the best thing to do is run the fuck away". Casually walking away whilst a suspicious guy follows you is pretty much the worst option.

the footage on the tv was kane and lynch, there's a kane and lynch poster in the bedroom.

I hit level 20 in this mission not long after it came out it was very easy to get to 20. I love the non-lethal baton you get for reaching level 10. I've been dying for a non-lethal weapon that I can have in my starting inventory.

@demus: I heard that game was reviewed fairly and balanced, and certainly didn't jeopardize the career of any reviewers.

I kind of goped Colorado would be better.

Still bad at Hitman

Brad, don't let go of Dan as your partner in murder.

He is esssssssential to your success.

You are radical.

Dude the fact this game is starting to reference old Hitman. Maybe I should actually get this.

it'll be funny if they haven't figured out the compromise thing until the end of the season

I had to play this mission after the last video, I went through it a few times...

I dunno, it seemed like a conceptual mess and not sure how much room they have to do anything else in this compound. I remember reading the news how (and I'm pretty sure this is the mission) it was supposed to be more like the stand off in Oregon, but between all of the targets in this compound, none of them belong here and none of them really belong working together.

Dan and Brad are excited to see that "there is a lot going on" in this map, but none of it makes much sense and it's really sloppy narrative. Kind of a big meh mission for me.

When does the Illusive man pop up?

Glad I stopped buying this crap, this map honestly looks like one of the worst maps in a Hitman game. Close to Absolution's 'library'.

This is pretty much a Hitman Endurance Run right? I'm getting into the story now, and I think I need to go back and watch the cutscenes.

And yes, that opportunity kill was worth the retries for sure. She was eeevil.

Brad and Dan still don't understand that timing for doing suspicious things is incredibly important.

There's a bunch of opportunities to set up great kills involving mutiple targets in this map. Comparing it to a boiler plate level built with 1995 stealth game design is super disingenuous.

Freedom Fighters thing isn't true at all

Really? People were giving them hard time about save scumming? I wish they would lean into it for trying out game mechanics.

@soimadeanaccount: To be fair not save scumming was one of their rules at the beginning of the series. I was a little disappointed when they started doing it but don't really care much about it either way since it's usually how I play Hitman games myself.

Hitman, Brad and Dan keep delivering high entertainment! Thank you!

This game is the best. This video series is the best. This website is the best. Thank you!

Edit: Jean Claude Ban Dan

Glad they made sure to finish that opportunity. Those are some of the funniest ways of killing the targets.

Anyone else get frustrated watching Brad play?

@th3_james: wow what an entirely original thought...

@skim: does it matter? not really. are you exaggerating? probably.

I was pretty sure it's Kane & Lynch on that TV and not Freedom Fighters

These are extremely entertaining to watch. I hope you guys do more videos playing this game.

This got me interested in the backstory of the series, and I stumbled upon a video (series, actually) that reveals the whole plots in the Hitman maps. Just search for 'Hitman: Sapienza - The Full Story' - it's crazy how much thought the devs put into the story and not just the level design.

The proximity mine is redeemed!

So...does this make Luchadeer...GI Doe?

everyone all the time. lol.

He plays scared of making mistakes. But it is fun when he succeeds. Just accept it. Otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy.

Well played gentlemen! Hopefully we get 60+ Elusive Targets before Dan leaves!

HitDan: Bradsolution.

The Best thing is to NOT move and let them talk to you. They have grown so much in this series but they still do not listen to the NPC at all. If a guy says don't move then don't move, if he says don't run... don't run.

When I did that opportunity I had the same thing happen. It just feels very janky for the only opportunity you get to kill Parvati.

I cannot believe that stupid fucking proxy mine actually worked! lol!
