After the new summer update, the game's vertical sync is broken. There's screen tearing all over the place and it looks terrible. Performance also took a nosedive.

The ever-changing bullet wound decals
@Neon_Ronin wrote:
This is not a "fix the gunshot decals" post.
This is a post I'm hoping leads to some creative new implementations of the gunshot wounds/melee decals and the correlating blood/damage. The lizard part of our brains finds violence extremely satisfying and how it's represented in one of our favorite games is kind of a big deal.
After the patch today, I'm really happy that bullet damage is back on the first shot. At the same time, the damage on the clothes looks somewhat odd. It's barely visible and just looks like a small watered-down stain.
Since it seems to be changing so often, I was curious what you guys want from the violence in this game? Absolution was ridiculously in your face and I kind of loved it. It was grim, bleak, harsh and really sold the nihilism of the world with how bloody it was... Now, it's a bit pulled back. Hitman is a much classier affair this time and the new tone is what has softened the presentation of the violence.
Do you guys want more or less blood? Just in general, I'd like to see the ramifications of 47's actions become a bit more extreme as patches roll out.

Bonus Episode: Worth buying?

I have bought the HITMAN-game in pieces. This means I'm able to buy the Bonus Episodes later in the year. Some of you guys may already have played it: Is it worth buying? Or should I pass on them?

Hitman has some of its edge back
@Fleur wrote:
Let's just take the time to acknowledge that 47 is actually more of a cold-blooded assassin in the Bonus Episode. Dino Bosco may be an annoying, obnoxious idiot. But does he deserve to die? His only crime was going over budget. He's not a crime lord or a pedophile. Same goes for Mendola and Kong Tuo-Kwang. They may be doing shady stuff, going behind their company's back and so on, but do they really deserve their fate?
I guess the same argument can sort of be made for some of the targets in past episodes, but they were more in the moral grey area if you ask me. It's something different if you're developing a deadly virus. Or overthrowing a government (torturing a guy and killing people in the process), or selling secrets of the intelligence services to the highest bidder. Who knows, terrorists could end up with that information. Those targets just felt like bigger players, with much more reason to be killed. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing. I want to primarily be getting rid of bad guys. It's just good that they've now balanced it a little.
And that fortune teller kill? All I'm saying is that I certainly didn't feel like James Bond anymore.
I like it. Not that I'm a psychopath (okay maybe a little, being a member on HMF for more than 10 years), but because it's a big part of the appeal with 47's character. He's an anti-hero. It's only about the money.
So, kudos to IO. I hope you continue this path. Now, if you could only spice the spy-thriller music up with some horror/Jesper Kyd-ish sounds.... Then we've come a long way in terms of atmosphere.

I thought blood decals were going to be fixed with the summer bonus episodes

My game now lacks all blood decals no matter how much I shoot someone. This is now a hitman game with zero blood whatsoever. I thought IO was going to fix this with the new update. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Bonus Episodes: Value for Money review
@JetBlackIris wrote:
Hi guys,
Several have asked if the new Bonus episodes will be worth buying. Here's my take on the value for money question:
In short, the Sapienza, Marrakesh and Paris bonus episodes together will all add up to roughly the value of one episode. At the moment, not quite.
Firstly, I enjoyed the bonus levels greatly. The main pros are:
Fun missions, new voice dialogue, new challenges and unique kills, new costumes, and some interesting twists (bulletproof victim, recoverable data).
And the detail and design is beautiful, particularly the robots in Italy and nighttime market in Morocco. It's great to see a new twist on these maps.The major drawbacks are twofold.
1) The missions are very short (I completely finished everything in the Icon in a single day in about 10 playthroughs), and I will likely compete 'Sand' today, on my second playthrough, and
2) the maps are notably small.The latter point is likely to be the main talking point when it comes to value. These are not the full maps of Sapienza and Marrakesh, they have artificial walls to seal off big sections of the playing area, so you only get to use a part of them. A bit like the 'Stories from Liberty City' GTA IV DLC, or the Batman Arkham Origins DLC, they only use part of the map.
To illustrate the point, here are all the sections that you can and can't access in the bonus episodes:
ITALY
- Main Town Square (YES)
- Town Hall (YES)
- Back Alley shops (SOME)
- Beach (NO)
- High End Shops (NO)
- Church (NO)
- Sewer (NO)
- Apartments (NO)
- Mansion and Mansion exterior (NO)
- Underground Ether Lab (NO)
- Sapienza Ruins (NO)So you can access roughly 25% of the map.
MOROCCO
- Marketplace/Bazaar (YES)
- Private Shisha Cafe (YES)
- Rooftops and shops (YES)
- School Exterior (YES)
- School Interior (NO)
- Swedish Embassy (NO)
- Underground Tunnel (NO)
So you can access roughly 50% of the map.
That adds up to about 75% of a full map. Therefore, with Paris redesigned (Likely to be some or all of the interior) later in the year, that will probably add up to the value of a full new episode, all together. At present though, with just the two reduced maps, they'd probably have to sell it at a lower price point.
Also, the two maps each only have one start point and one weapon stash location.
Hope this helps!

Melee Weapon Animations
@RoliePolie wrote:
Does anyone think that the melee weapon animations in this game feel extremely bland. From what I've seen with the fire axe and katana as well as the knives, they all seem to only have one or two animations each. In addition weapons that were obviously added for fun (like the katana and fire axe especially since they can't be hidden at all) don't even have any special kill animations. If I'm going to the trouble of walking around carrying a massive melee weapon I'd expect some over the top/fun kill animations to go with it. I know that this game is technically a "lighter" game (referencing IOI's dark-light-dark etc. cycle between games) and that it's supposed to be elegant, but I'd venture to say that a cool animation even if it's not the most efficient compared to a straight stab or something is still elegant when the target dies instantly. Thoughts?

NPC with gender confusion in Sapienza
@Bardachenko wrote:
I've noted some male guys in Sapienza (WoT and The Icon) with female names or female people called as men. Now I don't remember where they are, but developers should fix those errors.
PS IO gave NPC some very rare names (real names, but not so common), like Eulalia. It's ok, but it's a bit strange don't to meet almost nobody called Giuseppe, Francesco, Michele, Nicola etc.

The Pool in VIP Shisha Club

Anyone know why the pool in VIP Shisha bar is highlighted yellow in instinct mode? Can you drown someone in it? Is there some sort of special action that is available with the pool? I can't figure it out.

Crouching Controls
@DickJustice wrote:
Is there a way to switch the stick controls, so that the left stick toggles crouching, and the right stick toggles the camera shoulder? Seems backwards to have it the way it is, and I recall Absolution letting you switch them.

Ridiculous timing bonus
@kolorec wrote:
Hitmen!
Thanks for all the great ideas and execution of elusive targets - could be even more fun- don't stop improving it.
I would like yall to comment on the leaderboards and possibility of killing Gary in 17 SECONDS!!!?? Or even half a minute - or 2 ?? Sometimes the level loads longer than this .. And while we are at it I noticed that the bonus for that time is not even maximum !! So how fast should the target be killed for the flawless 210,000 points !?
In my opinion this possibility of eliminating any target within five the first 2 minutes of a level is not fun at all.. I suspect a glitch in this this my cry for an immediate check on this.
What do you think ?
