Holiday Specialtacular 2017: Hitsmas

Welcome back 47

'Super cautious' Brad and 'murder spree' Dan are like two sides of a big festive Hitman coin!

Not even 5 minutes in to his run and Brad still has no clue what "Trespassing" or "Compromised" mean. It's good to have you back, Hitmas.

If you really need to find a fire axe in hitman: http://hitmanmaps.com/bonus_sapienza

GOTY 2016 proves to be a worthy GOTY 2017 candidate, yet again. ;)

Brad has that Hitsmas spirit.

Damn I fucking love when they play this game. Probably wont ever play it myself but love watching them play it.

Was that Drew @ 2:25:03?

Just an FYI, there's only ONE fire axe on the entire map as far as I know.

I REALLY don't like the audio in this year's videos. It's like we're only hearing gameplay through the staff's mics.

Man, I kinda hope there's more new Hitman game content or a 'Season 2' in 2018 not only because I want to play more, but also so this can be a regular Christmas feature every year.

Hate to be this person, but how has Dan not learned that you do not eat on camera? He's munching away, talking with his mouth full, it's disgusting.

I think they spotted 3 during the course of the runs.

Not quite sure where the "guns in this game are terrible" thing came from. You can easily head-shot people from pretty large distances with silenced pistols.

Highly enjoyable runs overall despite some misinformation here and there.

Hitman: Giant Bomb's 2016 GOTY!!! <3

"Notice me, Agent 47 Senpai!!!"

Agent 47 seems more like a bullet sponge in this than he was before. Did they change something?

The eating from dan was pretty atrocious. The bag noises is giving me a headache. Dont understand why the bit this year is them eatting chicken biscuits on camera...

@memu said:

They (Devs) reduced AI firing rate basically making the combat into a joke. I mean seriously, BEFORE the change I could "kill all" on every map reliably, I can't imagine how easy it is now.

As someone who has played the crap out of the game it is SUPER frustrating to see them badmouth guns when they are easily the most useful tool when being hunted (or even for quick, quiet killing when suppressed.)

I get it, they're using a controller and they might have crappy aim but it's still kinda wonky how so many times it would've went faster if they just shot a dude here and there.

The Hitman stuff (Or any feature here really) is always so bittersweet to me because if they spent like 10 minutes looking into the game mechanics or preparing in general these runs might not take well, over an hour. Still though, it's a lot of fun to watch and moments are made, I just wish they put more effort into it.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Great once again!

Watching GB play Hitman is a real treat. Thanks, y'all!

Holy cow this is longer than I expected.

You'd think playing Dota, Brad would have some sort of map awareness.

Merry Hitsmas to me.

Spoiler 1: Oh my god how did that work?!

Spoiler 2: Oh my god how did that work?!

Spoiler 3: Oh my god! Hey that basically counts!

Spoiler 4: Sometimes the Hitsmas is the friends we make along the way.

So Fucking happy they did this again!

Guess no one else is bothered by the buzzing audio? ?

THIS.IS.GREAT.

Even better than the first!

Holy cow this is great!

Team Brad, always and forever.

In much the same way Vinny's run last year was so definitively Vinny, this year Brad and Dan's runs so perfectly embody their personalities and spirits. Just... stunning.

Vinny really should have just screamed "IT'S OKAY, I'M METHOD-ACTING!"

Apparently doing that while dressed as a clown lets you get away with ALL kinds of shit.

Bradley!

THREE HOURS OF HITMAN!

I LOVE GIANT BOMB!!

You're in for a treat man

Brad is good at games.

I wish everyday could be Hitsmas.

3 hours, and a sequel to one of the greatest streams in GB history. I don't know what to do with all of this incredible content.

(I think Jeff's Clipse reference escaped most of the room, which is unfortunate)

This was absolutely incredible. One of the best streams they have ever done.

When it comes to Vinny and you realize there is 9 mins left...

Thank you GB for another Hitsmas!!

Brad is the greatest assassin in history

Did the devs drastically change 47's damage model? I haven't played since last year and he seems like an absolute bullet sponge now.

Everybody liked Overwatch

Oh man, some amazing runs this year! Even for Abby who made some quick moves given that she has barely played it, sad that Vinny's run ended so quick though. But yeah the devs definitely nerfed the enemy's ability to shoot down agent 47, there were quite a few instances where they wouldn't have gotten away from if this was a year ago.
