Out of all the Hitman content Brad and Dan have done, this one was disappointing in a way to me. Did Dan have somewhere he had to be or something? What happened to Dan's rule of having to kill the target in an entertaining way? The first part was great with the drummer but then it seemed he just wanted it over with and just a basic walk up and stab the guy and get out. And then Brad agreeing and saying yeah people playing should discover the opportunities for themselves. What? Since when? The fun of these videos is seeing them try to do these opportunities and fumble through them.
I don't know, maybe it was the map or something. But I was really hoping for a part 2 video where they continue the hit but this map seemed kind of bland. Except for the recording floor.
I really enjoyed Human Revolution and I'm excited for this game. This looks like a big step up from HR. I got the chance to play this at E3 and I left wanting to play more. Only problem I had watching this was the enemy AI seemed really janky at times. Sometimes it seemed like they weren't even being affected by shots and their movement was weird. I don't know. Something seemed off about it. I hope that somehow got polished up a bit between the time this demo took place and when it just recently went gold the other day.
And I only read a bit of the first page of comments. To people complaining about not liking EX quick looks. Yeah I don't prefer them either. But I'm sure we'll get an official QL once the game is released so no need to worry.
In much the same way as when I heard about The Witness being the follow up game by Jonathan Blow to his critically acclaimed debut Braid, Witness was going to be a day one purchase for me regardless of what it was, I didn't care. I loved Braid and knew I had to play whatever Blow did next.
Playdead has that same respect from me. I thoroughly enjoyed Limbo back when it first released on Xbox 360. I liked the style of it and the puzzles and the ambiguity of what it was. Inside appears to be everything Limbo was, turned up past 11. The style, the puzzles, the traversal, the mystery of it all. So I'm super hyped for Inside. It just sucks that I don't play Xbox any more. I switched over to PS4. I hope it comes there eventually, but I want to play this game so bad, that I will perhaps finally buy a game on my laptop and this will be the first and only!
Oh yeah, forgot to say great review Brad! I can't wait for GOTY discussions. There will be some great discussions between this and Witness, and Uncharted, Overwatch, Doom. Good times ahead.
