That would be epic!
After that, I put in 'Assassin's Creed III' to play some solo Wolfpack. I managed to beat my old score and hit Wave 20 before I failed. That's pretty good fun. I have Sequences 11 and 12 to beat on the single player - hoping to do this tomorrow - and I've finished the game; probably trading it in for credit for an upcoming game.
I am also playing Saints Row 3, having paid £5 for it new.
It is soooo much fun!
'Saint's Row 3' was worth every penny, I felt. Bought it and completed it when I had my PS3, and after switching back to the 360, I found it at a local pawn shop for only $12. I'm looking forward to getting back into it, but I have a whole slew of games I still need to get to. It's insane.
@MajorDSmythe, that's a good idea. I traded in 'Hitman: Absolution' for 'Far Cry 3,' and then traded in 'Far Cry 3' the other day for credit towards the 'Hitman HD Trilogy.' Trading in 'Assassin's Creed III' tomorrow for credit towards an upcoming game.
'Far Cry 3' was one of my favorites of the year, but after doing everything in the single player, beating all of the lackluster co-op missions, and playing one round of that terrible excuse of a multiplayer, it wasn't worth much to me. Received $32 for it at GameStop.
I played the Austria levels on Nightfire today. Probably the highlight of the game. There are so many different routes to take in the castle level, the snowmobile chase is action packed and the car chase is great fun (although it annoys me how you don't have to brake on corners or anything, I hate that in games).
And with that, an upcoming patch won't even matter: sure, it will protect against future saves, but you've already lost all that progress that you just have to up and replay once more.
As for me, I just (finally) completed 'Assassin's Creed III.' Looking to beat the epilogue missions and check out these pivots and I'll be ready to trade it in tomorrow.
I am just glad that I didn't go any Contracts or gain experience in that mode, only the campaign. Now I am going through the campaign and not even bothering to pick up all the items or evidence in fear of all the work amounting to nothing if the game does it again.
Voice acting is great, it's got Borderlands type visuals but it looks sharp, gameplay is alright too.
The 2nd and 3rd episodes are better. That's as far as I've got right now.
When you're fighting zombies (and humans), negotiating with armed bandits, rushing to save somebody, making important decisions that could change how the game plays out, talking to characters, etc, it's really good and is lots of fun.
The trouble is, there are some really boring puzzle bits inbetween where you just wander around (really slowly), looking for items.
If the game stuck to the fun gameplay and the story, it'd be pretty good. The puzzles sort of ruin it.
This. This, this, this, this, and this. Right here. All of that is 'Absolution' in its entirety.
If you're looking for what us hardcore 'Hitman' fans absolutely crave, you must pick up the 'Hitman HD Trilogy' on January 29th. It's $39.99 for the quintessential Hitman experience: 'Hitman 2: Silent Assassin' - tons of assassinations, but I do recall a couple of two-part missions that led to an assassination, but trust me, it was nothing dull and irritating like this game delivered - 'Hitman: Contracts,' a straight-up assassination game, where every single level offers all types of different hits. One of my favorite levels in the 'Hitman' series - 'Traditions of the Trade' - takes place in a beautiful hotel that gives me a 'Clue'/'The Innkeepers' type feel, with easter eggs to boot, and it's a lot of fun - and finally, this generation's 'Hitman: Blood Money,' which offers even bigger levels, tons of replay value, and loads of ways to assassinate your target.
Trust me, if you want to wash that bad taste of Hitman out of your mouth, this collection will be the way to go. I've been anticipating it since its rumor months and months ago.
As for me, I've been getting back into 'Skyrim,' completing (I suppose you can say that?) the 'Hearthfire' DLC today, and now I'm about to work on the 'Dawnguard' DLC.
You've both summed the game up perfectly.
I like the Hitman series, they're one of my favourite videogame series, but Absolution was so underwhelming, i'm seriously considering trading it in for something else. And i'm usualy a completist, but because this game limbo'd under my low expectations, I just don't see myself returning to it in the future like I do with Blood Money.
I have yet to play AC3 (another of my favourite series), so I might part ex H:A for this. Mass Effect 3 is another game I intend on picking up. I'm nearing the end of ME2, and I would like to carry my Shep over to ME3. I'm looking to also part ex Far Cry 3, so with a bit of luck, I can part ex FC3 & H:A for AC3 & ME3. The latter should have come down in price by now.
To be honest I'm not sure I'd want to because the only person who survived my game was Seth Green (yay!), so it'd be wierd if Shepard and co just popped up again.
have ordered Mass Effect Trilogy on Ps3 but there seems to be a serious shortage of them in the UK at the moment.
Normally on these choice games, I generally just act like a dick for no apparent reason and make stupid choices on purpose just to entertain me.
EG- In Mass Effect 2 I managed to get everybody killed, in Fallout 3 I destroyed the town built on the atomic bomb just for the hell of it, in Dishonored I killed everybody (including my favourite character) except the person who actually murdered the empress, etc.
In The Walking Dead I started off doing this but then I started makng proper decisions to help the characters I cared about. And that's what's great about this game.
It doesn't matter if you think "wow, I hope this guy becomes a zombie so I can bash his head in", or "oh crap I've upset the little girl", this game makes you care about the characters. Wether you like them or hate them, you feel strongly about the characters and because of that you actually give a crap about the choices you're making, and I think that's fantastic.
Boring puzzles aside, this is a great game that deserves the praise. I hope they do a sequel.
I finished the game on Recruit today and got all the intel, and am currently a little over halfway finished on Veteran difficulty on the mission 'Safehouse.' Of course, anger is ensuing over here in my room right now. Probably stopping in a short while to watch a movie and relax. My vocabulary has consisted of nothing but cuss words for the past hour or so.
I hope it doesn't kill my xbox like it did my ps3. It's not as buggy on xbox, although it still freezes a fair bit and the framerate drops whenever there's too much going on for it.
I'm a lizard person this time not a cat person. I did exactly what I did on ps3, went to the first town, stole some gear and ran off to explore.
Still, it's a fun game. I picked up 'Hearthfire' and 'Dawnguard' DLC on sale a few days ago to get me back to the game.
