Spoiler: both guys miss this but the video says busey is in "Sapienza old town", which I'm pretty sure means the town itself and not the villa Also I like how brad watched the video twice and somehow forgot that it mentions that cole will lead you to busey lol

This is gonna make Brad and Dan's GOTY list. And I think they'll fight for it to be in the Top 10 for the site.

I don't think that's really going to be that much of a fight. This site's put out nearly a dozen hours of content related to this game and it's all gold. I think this has to be a shoe-in for top 5.

I wish I was recording that. I went and kicked some guy into the ocean and hoped to kick his other two friends before they saw me but one ran away and I got into a very large gun fight. I ended up killing all of the bodyguards basically inside of the mall area and also ended up fighting mansion guards somehow at some point! When Busey and his guards came by I killed both his guards ran and hid and then executed him with a pistol shot in the middle of the beach in front of everyone. On the way to the boat I kicked two people into the ocean. It was not a "clean kill".

The Buse was my first elusive target. I thought I was gonna do something cool but it just ended with me getting frustrated, shooting him with the silenced pistol while he recites fake Shakespeare, and then running over to the getaway vehicle. Pretty uneventful.

Although I did snipe him from the belltower and that didn't seem to work. Second time it actually put ol' Busey down.

I had my moment of "Oh my god, please do it already..." but it all went good in the end. Good job!

Hope you check the "House Built on Sand" on UPF or seperately next week.

Lovin' Brad getting salty and pointing out how much of a rando nobody actor Gary Busey is these days. They never acknowledge how irrelevant the 80s movies and stars they reference actually are.

Amazing video! The comparisons to Metal Gear Scanlon made me really interested in seeing a three-part competition next time between Dan, Brad, and Drew. Dan would likely go cowboy, Brad would carefully walk the line between caution and panic-mode, and Drew would take two hours to complete the hit perfectly cleanly.

Brad did a great job. He was more patient without Dan's encouragement, and it paid off.

Well played! These elusive hits seem like they would be really daunting to attempt, especially while streaming. The Hitman content is soo good!

I was truly inspired by Dan with his memento ending/bruce willis at the end of The Sixth Sense revelation moment. Especially since he basically pre-cogged the result.

So here's some normal guy microsoft paint terror. And I thank you Dan, you muse of normalcy and clairvoyance. Normalness below. It's normal.

The one thing I want to tell them is that the Proximity Explosives in the game all arm when you drop them as well as throw them so if while walking past Busey you bring up the item wheel drop a Proximity Explosive and then start huffing it away the mine will blow up and you will already be on your way to the exit.

I just re-watched the big moment after watching it live a few hours ago, and that was still one of the best things I've seen from GB as of super recently. Great job not only to the winner, but to both Brad and Dan for being a great student/mentor team that has brought us some amazing and hilarious moments with this game that I really kinda want to buy because of you guys.

Also, for the people who are complaining that Brad and Dan are bad at this, keep in mind that Brad only plays the game for videos for the site, and Dan has barely touched the game since launch until this last weekend so he could practice up for this competition. So, it makes sense that between the lack of playing this and playing other games to review/talk about on the Bombcast and UPF, they might not be on top of their game when it comes to being hitmen.

"Aah, it's not going to be easy to get down here with a sniper rifle on my back."

Actually, Brad, it's incredibly fucking easy. It's exactly how I killed him.

Really tempting to finally upgrade to the full package, but if I waited this long I guess I can wait a while longer.

That guy who walks in front of the car right as you escape, though. It's fucked up more than a few people's silent assassin runs in Sapienza because it counts as a non-target death even though it's in a cutscene.

That dumb guy (who I get irrationally angry at) aside, this was awesome to watch. Brad had the same idea I did, it's always so awesome when you get that lightbulb moment.

I'd be all up for them going through the levels and trying out some of the challenges and feats - the one in Paris where you have to kill the dude by dropping his wife on him from a balcony is fucking awesome.

@Brad I just wanna point out some things that I think will help you a lot going forward:

1. You can easily carry a sniper rifle around without raising suspicion by putting on a guard uniform, which lets you be visibly armed.

2. One really good sniping position is the top of the church. If you go inside and around behind the altar, there are stairs that lead all the way to the top. This would be a perfect place to snipe a target as you have a 360 degree view of the area.

3. Remember to use Instinct to see who's suspicious of you. Anyone with a white dot above their head will see through your disguise, so avoid these people or try to stay out of their vision. And note that there are certain areas you're not allowed to be in, so if a guard or someone tells you to back off you should just walk away and try to find a more stealthy approach.

Competing for time seems pointless, especially if you can't kill the target AND escape. If all that matters is killing the target then what's the point.

https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/hitman-the-full-experience/ though i'm not sure how their discounts work now, there used to be codes. maybe you only have to register an account? there was thread about it but still not sure how it works. either way i've bought quite a bit of stuff from them in the past and it showed up for me as $47.99.

i also thought why not and tried busey as it was only available for 3ish more hours. failed entirely though i did snap the neck of one of his guards! :D

Hitman has been producing the best content from GB West this year by far.

I don't even have the game and I would put it on my top 10.

@ripelivejam: Yah I went there and the full experience onPC is way cheaper than the upgrade price on PS4.

Man I keep wanting to get back to gaming on the PS4 but the PC just keeps pulling me back in.

Dan: "I don't want to make rookie mistakes. Oh hey, there's a knife."
