Quick Look: Hitman: Episode 5: Colorado

I haven't made it through the entire video find out, but I hope @brad came across the hot Trump dialog in this mission. Namely the two guards at the shack, one of them praises a presidential candidate who used to be a reality TV star for his academic way of speaking, while saying he has a lot of good ideas.

Agent 47 inhabits a world of nightmare people and I love it.

Oh man... you guys... I just thought of the best Elusive Target mission.

The God Damn Predator.

I own this game but I enjoy watching them play it more than play it myself

the reason? I just kill until there aren't NPCs left in one spot of the map, move on, do the same. Basically it ends with everyone dead on the map since this is a game where you arent locked in with the NPCS, they are locked in with you and they don't respawn and there isn't an infinite spawning police mechanic.

kill them all

Why does the farmhouse look almost exactly like the GTA V one

Maybe it was because I was tired, or because it was a smaller map that had fewr possibilities for shenanigans, but I had trouble staying focused and thought this installment was a little boring.

@fightingchance: Could be cool. It would have to be set in a jungle, and motherfucker have to be up in the trees. I will take no other kind of Predator. Would be difficult to do with the Hitman engine though.

@snackeater: I totally missed that too! =/

@nordicgamer said:

Oh, gotcha. Glad I didn't stare too long at it, then!

YES! Finally a new one...

@brad@danryckert

I also thought the payoff for the opportunity you guys did with overdosing the hostage was lame...but then I figured out last night that there is an additional step you should do that the game doesn't really point out to you with the opportunity markers.

Basically, when Ezra thinks the dosage of his drugs is off, he'll go back to the shed where you guys got the basement key and use the chemistry set in there to try and make new drugs. If you use a wrench to loosen the gas valve on the tank in there, the whole place explodes! (There are some notes you can read that allude to this, which is how I figured it out). I think doing the opportunity is the only way to get him to use the science equipment; I tried loosening the gas valve and waiting around a while and nothing ever happened.

Just thought ya'll might want to know, it made that opportunity way cooler when I figured it out.

Gotta agree that the constant saving and loading was a bummer in this one. Coupling that with the refusal to pay attention to anything or run before things go catastrophic made this a hard watch.

@heatdrive88: I tell you, racial profiling is a damn inconvenience.

I'm going to complain because Dan and Brad are not playing this game the way I want them to! Who do they think they are having fun the wrong way!

This game is great.

The audio on the last few Shenmue and this video are super low. I use studio monitors to typically audio for me is very consistent. Not sure whats going on here.

Don't you know the reference?

Freedom fighter is a game on ps2 that the same developer did back in the day.

I thought that Brad would have some trouble here. I was not disappointed.

Shockingly bad playing in this one lmao

that killed me.

Wasnt this pitched to be more like those dopes in Oregon or is that going to be another episode? Because this is more of a Waco, Montana Militia vibe more than that, which is a bit disappointing.

Also... does Brad know about line of sight? I've just watched him run away like two to three times from someone that is suspicious, but he runs in a straight line directly away from them so they always have a bead on 47.... so weird.

I never get annoyed watching these but them seeing how the nitroglycerin works and then not using it and complaining about the mine when it would do exactly what they needed if they threw it through the window was annoying.

This is the best website ever

@murdoc_: I've just chosen to believe that brad is actually a video game god, but to hide his identity he pretends to be oblivious to how ai works and now he just enjoys trolling us and dan... but i say the same stuff out loud that dan says to him when i watch these lol.

5-6 comments shocked at his ignorance of a terrorist organization from the other side of the world that hasn't been in the news in the past decade or so... but no one surprised at a man in his 30s who's never tried an apricot.

Seriously. Did his mother just get fast food every night?

I want more of the super slick Brad/Jeff combo. Dan just fucks everything up for the sake of comedy, but we don't even get the promised comedy half the time.

Ok, first of, this map wasn't what I want from a Hitman game. It's a typical "military base"-level where everyone is armed and relates less to everyday life. Secondly: It feels like they/you (Brad and Dan) plays the game for the first or second time once again. A clear regression in knowledge about game mechanics (for example trespassing) which resulted in save/load-abuse.

This is still one of the best series on Giant Bomb, but I think it just got passed by VR Rodeo. Looking forward to the resolution!

Is that a Jurassic Park reference on the Hacker's computer monitor in the opening cinematic?? 'Ah Ah Ah - You didn't say the magic word!'

I'm watching this 10 minutes after finishing my first pass thru the episode and it's infuriating how sloppy they're playing right from the beginning. Dan is almost insufferable in this series at this point, and it sounds like he's saying stupid shit just for the sake of saying stupid shit. We get it. uggghhh.

@schnoo: Freedom fighters is a memorable although underrated IO interactive developed ps2 game that used squad mechanics well.

Dan backseat driving is really irritating.

GAH. I love all the endurance runs, but I just can't take this one anymore. It's like they're both 5 year olds playing a stealth game for the first time, AND refusing to think things through logically (because everything is, pretty much, from how enemies see you and how to avoid that, what is quiet and what isn't, what is suspicious and what isn't, etc), AND with a memory wipe between every play session.

I'm no hitman expert or genius but I had the basics of how the AI works down, within a few hours... because it all just makes sense for the most part and is indicated well on the HUD (or your assassin vision) too.

It's downright aggravating to watch the constant misleading misinfo from Dan, and the fumbling with controls/objectives/mechanics/rules that Brad does. EVERY PLAY SESSION. Come on guys, I know you somehow master some games, why can't you even learn the basics of hitman after playing for HOURS and HOURS?? I mean you've both played previous entries as well and these basic AI things are also similar to those, and in many ways are better and more clear via the HUD, indicators, and assassin vision colors.

Damn, there's a whole lot going on in this mission. Might be time for me to crack this one open.

I hope that Brad and Dan go back and do the Marakesh bonus mission. That one was a lot of fun.

Please like and subscribe if you agree.

Needs a touch more Jeff the Professional.

IT IS THE SECOND TO LAST EPISODE AND DAN FIGURES OUT TRESPASSING. THIS IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING SERIES OF ALL TIME

but its still hilarious
