Quick Look: Hitman: Episode 3: Marrakesh

I definitely don't feel bad about following the opportunity prompts. I usually wait until I find the start of the trail on my own rather than just tracking them straight from the menus but otherwise I'm happy to be led to whatever dumb/fun scenario they've cooked up.

I especially don't feel bad about it because you have the elusive targets to make you do stuff on your own.

Dale.

@abrasion: It's not really "hindsight 20/20" because they were directly told about the concept of trespassing and its corresponding indicator under the mini-map during the first elusive target playthrough. It's difficult to understand how two people could both not notice the trespassing indicator, be told about it, then forget about it and not notice it again on later playthroughs.

I really like these Hitman videos, I hope they keep doing them.

Is it too late to get into this game? It seems like there are some timed events that I missed out on, and that is keeping me from wanting to buy it.

People are not going to fall for distractions if they are staring at you while you throw them, how have you even got this far.

Falafel is sooooo European...

and 'Is Greek Mediterranean?' - I refuse to believe that any adult can be that ignorant...

No.

The guards always get back up after melee, unless you "knock them out" with a prompt while they're temporarily on the ground.

I think!

Might be different if you're holding a wrench or something like that, not sure.

The challenge name for dropping the moose on the guy is a direct Invader Zim reference, which makes me unnaturally happy.

Heads up to Dan, hookahs and shisha actually originated around North Africa and the Middle East where it has cultural significance. It's not exclusively a dumb thing San Francisco hipsters do!

Another 2 hours of Brad and Dan not realizing the bottom left tells them if theyre trespassing or not.

@cale: Read it as that, 3 times.

@marty20k: Fuk'n aye

@hatking: Or you know..it's Morocco.

There is so much goddamn content in this game already that you'd be crazy to think that you're missing out. The timed events have only occurred twice so far and they're essentially just one-off scenarios where the designers pick a random NPC to target. Honestly, while exciting to attempt these while they're "live," the meat of this game is already there. The "Feats" are even better and will be there waiting for you in each map whenever you decide to take the plunge and get it. These are unique challenges that ramp up in difficulty each time you complete them, adding modifiers and special situations for the next attempt. They're incredibly varied and play with areas and features of each level that you'd probably never encounter on the normal play through. Think of them as developer-made Mario Maker challenges within each map that get harder each time you complete them.

This game is fantastic. So much content in there already and it's not even finished yet.

Yuri Lowenthal ruins everything

I can't watch Brad play this anymore. He's so unaware of his own surroundings and what the game is telling him that I have to give up.

When he crouched against the wall at the start I cringed and turned it off when he trespassed into that corner for the second time in a row.

Brad missed the dunk: should have said Bazaar is a friendly elephant.

@cale: Any context for what is happening in that gif ?

Apparently 95% of the people in that city are vampires, and do not cast shadows.

@tekzero: I'm from South Jersey (around where Austin is from), and I've never heard of Mr. Pibb

Hahaha, someone should count how many times per video that happens.

lmao the caption of this video

@jaypb08: So am I. And I am pretty sure they have Mr. Pibb at the Wendy's in EHT.

@tekzero: I guess it's just really rare then

The reaction to the giant moose over the target was great.

They didn't turn it around. They pushed out a level a month exactly like they said when the game was put out. That was the entire point of this game being episodic

That is such a common question both the Food Network and NPR feature "The Salt" were talking about it

@danryckert: The movie theater here in Hazlet, NJ has Mr. Pibb. Think it's ONLY place i've seen it though.

Kinda really want to buy this game but afraid it won't be as much fun as watching Brad and Dan play it.

I'm the exact opposite, watching this frustrated me to the point where I was like, "I have to get this and do it right."

I wonder if Brad will ever realise you can drop items from the menu directly...

So these timed Hitman missions... say I don't buy the game until they are over. Will they be saved? Or are they gone for good?

@vrikk: Gone for good.

This shit is so stressing to watch. FUUUUUCCCCKKKK. Listen to the devil on your shoulder, man! Subdue. That. Bitch!

Konny Engstom will show you your destiny.

Know this level is not a favorite to many but I did look through the menus recently (after getting hooked on the game after seeing the quick looks) & found that there at the end of the menu for this destination is a bonus mission House Built on Sand which might be of interest to some of the people here wanting more Hitman goodness.

I'm pretty happy with that ending.

i kinda love how brad just stands around letting himself be caught by moving way too slow, all the time. to be fair, this was still early days for this game.

he always somehow manages to do it though, in the craziest ways
