Quick Look: Hitman: Episode 4: Bangkok

should be good

Woo!

Why does it say Jeff and Brad? Is that Jeffs spot on Dan impression?

Brad fighting!!!

Jeff sounds like a normal guy.

This thumbnail is amazing. This game!

Brad and Jeff? Scandalous!

Dat thumbnail. Why did I check the site when I'm working?

That video description is a ruse!

Typo in the description!

Very glad they were able to continue this.

Oh good, they went the drummer route.

Jeff, huh? i don't know how i fell about this...

edit: ahh, i've been hit-fooled

Awesome tagline. Kickass song.

These are the same guys who freaked out about Helmut Kruger. Of course they're gonna go the "impersonate the suspiciously similarly looking celebrity and somehow get past everyone even though they should recognize you" route.

Been waiting for this! :D

Guys that's Jeff. Dan couldn't possibly be back in San Francisco. He left! Jeff just has a cold or something.

For those who are wondering.

Brad and Jeff spend one night in Bangkok and the world's their oyster.

I'd love to know how these guys get the video across to Dan in NYC with no delay?

Alright, let's find out how these wacky kids end up here.

Dan's frustration has increased while being 3000 miles away from Brad.

They've said they use a corporate internet thing to do it from both CBS buildings.

The way they talked about it at the start of the video, they seem to have mistaken this for the Nighttime Morocco level, at least at first. One hopes they eventually go back. It's a decent mission with some good disguises/opportunities.

im excited

Spoilers below. Scroll to see them.

2 or 3 seasons would be so awesome. This is the hitman I love. Absolution was not for me.

I should stop checking out GB when I'm about to start work. It just bums me out that I won't be able to watch this for the next 5-6 hours.

Dan the reasonable one, this is weird.

Edit: Brad, you REALLY need to learn how the suspicious and trespassing mechanics work.

Someday Brad and Dan will learn how trespassing works.

Yeah, the trespassing system is SO GOOD, it might as well be cheating. Nine times out of ten it sets up a really easy way to gain a guards disguise because most of the time guards aren't looking at stairways when they are escorting you out of the area.

Finally a game where I get to virtually end Jared Leto

Brad and Jeff C-c-C-c-Combobreaker

That corporate internet thing is called Skype and videoediting.

@el_rickhead: They said it little time ago that they use Skype screen sharing.

Is the story based on Pete Doherty? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jun/29/pete-doherty-mark-blanco-mothers-fight-for-the-truth

Jeff? COLLUSION!

Jeff's @danryckert Impression is really on point!

They have said that it's directly due to the fact that they have super fast business internet at both offices, and some sort of teleconferencing software with little/no lag. If it's just Skype it's gotta be the best Skype ever.

edit: You can't video edit video as it's being recorded. It's not like Polygon, where they play through the game, and then both people watch a recording after the fact.

@cooljammer00: Only Dan is seeing the Skype feed and the actual recording/livestream is done entierly at Brads place.

There is only one Skype and yes you can edit live video.

This map seems small and boring. Doesn't seem to have a lot of stuff nor opportunities.

Jeff does an incredible Dan

Wait, satchels are lame? No one told me

Will they though? Will they?

Brad was right in comparing it to Paris, but I'd say it feels a bit smaller/tighter than Paris due to so much of the hotel being blocked off. Either it's because of renovations, or fumigation, or that there's a celebrity hogging up an entire wing of the hotel. The thing with the hotel is that there isn't much garbage lying around to pick up, and the hotel rooms don't have closets to hide bodies in. I also ran into some bugs where I couldn't get past security even when I was in the right costume.

Then again, the thing a lot of people forget is that 47 is a guest at this hotel and thus he can sort of walk around plainclothes for a bit. It's a good way to scope out the hotel first without people getting in your face.

This was the first Hitman level I played before GB covered it, so I feel like I've gotten a decent feel for it.

Dan sounds like garbage at the start of this video, did they not record audio separately and mix the files afterwards like usual or something?

Didn't they say it was literally just Skype screen sharing?

Man, that bit at the end was really good.

Brad and Dan are unbelievably bad at this game lmao

I know that they're going for an entertainment angle on these, but it would be real nice if Brad and Dan could learn the mechanics a bit. They've done so many of these but don't know how Trespassing works, what orange outlines in Hitman vision mean, that you can't blow up a tank with a blunt object, that those tanks they blow up have a very small radius, etc.

I love watching Brad and Dan go through these games, but it's incredibly frustrating to watch when they don't pick up on how the game works. Combine their lack of understanding and Dan's need to control how others play games it's starting to get real grating watching these when they used to be so fun.

The newest map is a little bit of a let down at the moment, though. There are huge areas that can have loads of potential but it doesn't seem to be half as interesting as Sapienza. It feels more like a watered down Paris but with maybe only 10% of the people. I do like how they made the picklock useless here, though, encouraging you to try to find keys or use breaching charges. If they made more maps that required you to adjust your playstyle a bit I think I would love it.

Good job guys. The drummer bit is great. This is definitely a smaller tighter level but it looks great and there's plenty of dumb opportunities. You ran right by a coconut in the kitchen for example.

@forteexe21: Not true, IMO. I've played through it a bunch. It's mainly Brad; he gives that illusion due to the way he plays in this one.
