Quick Look: Hitman: Episode 5: Colorado

YES!

Final episode of Season 1gonna play it this weekend

Isn't there one left? Japan?

@bathala: Still have Tokyo yet.

Did they forget how hitman works again?

Multiple nasty audio glitches in this video, just warning headphone users.

oh nice.

and of course it's going to be Japan. always a good assassin stage

"Are you wearing my pants?"

Jeff + Brad dream team

Once again: Proximity Mine is the Riot SMG of this series. It's worthless.

App-ricot?

This is going to be amazing but I'll wait to watch until I finish the stage myself. I want to see how everything goes wrong in all of its glorious terribleness.

Can someone explain the freedom fighter thing?

"Oh, it tells you."

Seriously, Dan just now realized the game tells you when you're trespassing?

Colorado might as well be Kansas? No. Colorado is not Kansas. At all. In any way.

Are GB videos getting even more quiet lately?

Only Brad doesn't know how to use it so its even worse.

The phrase "Pop that guy in the head" should be used for coke can killings.

Also, I freaking love this series, keep up the good work guys!

@innovacious: They always do. It's honestly part of the fun, but sometimes it's a little frustrating, especially as someone who plays Hitman regularly.

Why oh why oh why did they completely forget about the opportunities in the 2nd half of this video. They were running around wondering how to do the drug or bomb ones when one click could have told them.

Never watch GB play a game you play a lot. It's way too infuriating haha.

Expected this one to run past the 1 hour mark with some targets left. It's a shame they wholly missed the battering ram for the double kill. Here's hoping they find it for the single.

"Are you wearing my pants?"

"Get dressed, asshole"

This game has some amazing background dialogue.

@gecoma108: Yeah, I played the Paris level quite a lot a while ago. I was tearing my hair out watching them do the elusive target there a couple of weeks ago, especially since they were making mistakes and getting stuff wrong that they'd previously done correctly in other videos.

Pretty sure the video game the two guys are watching on TV is Freedom Fighters, but I'm gonna have to check again. Would make sense as a really neat Easter egg. =)

Also, yeah, I was also a little disappointed by not being able to nab the costume off of Ezra (the Michael Myers-y dude). Then again, it'd be way too convenient and really easy to obtain and just break the level.

I don't know if those tiny houses and farm animals are supposed to be a reference to something?

@bathala: There is one more map Japan.

I think the disconnect is that they don't notice the on screen prompts when they're tracking an opportunity. They think that the opportunities is a hint system when it's literally a step by step tutorial on how to complete a target (which might be viewed as too easy, but I view it as a way to introduce yourself to the mechanics that are available within the level to build your knowledge for future hits).

There was one point in the video where they were questioning where to find the basement key when the exact location of the basement key is highlighted within the game world.

@eduardo: There is also a Kane & Lynch poster on the wall in that room I'm sad they missed.

I feel like this would have gone a lot smoother if they put away the proximity mine and just listened to the sage advice of Dan "Snap his neck" Ryckert.

Not bad for a dude who didn't try mayonnaise until his mid-twenties.

This feature was better before I played Hitman. It's still fun to watch but now it's also more frustrating.

Brad's silence after Dan's comment about the Tamil Tigers speaks volumes.

Holy shit Dan.

Is anyone else having sync issues between audio and visual for this video?

It's probably related to the fact that I'm watching on a Roku and the Giant Bomb Roku app is sort of a POS, but just wondering if it was happening for anyone else.

I noticed another thing when i finished the level, one of the computer screens in the final rooms has what looks like the Duke Nukem 3D icon on its desktop.

Actually Freedom Fighters were published by EA, who owns the rights to the IP. So even if they wanted to, IO can never make a sequel, but they keep putting in little references to it in their other games.

No, it's Kane and Lynch 2. As I mentioned above IO/Squeenix do not own the right to Freedom Fighters. Although in some ways the Kane and Lynch games are sort of a spiritual sequel to FF.

Prox mines are dumb. Would have worked if you pushed the guy in and then just threw in the nitroglycerin. You really really really need to just level up enough in Paris to get remote mines, Brad. Hell, you should have the white rubber ducky which is a remote mine.

But the explosive cell phone is the best.

Pro tip for @brad you don't have to spend 5 seconds spinning the camera around before subduing someone if you just peek at the minimap.

Ouch that sound around 18:40

This was a tough one to watch. All the saving and loading really dragged it down. Half the fun of the earlier videos was the absurd situations that they manage to get themselves into, and saving every five seconds and/or reloading repeatedly to try to steal a key kills any chance of that sort of silliness.

Every single time Dan berates Brad to kill someone its the absolute worst time to do it. "Do it now, do it now, do it now!" Without fails at least 2 people looking right at them lol.

Favorite thing of this quick look is Brad not killing people and having them wake up and it all blow up in his face.
