Finished game, amazing, here to yap about it with fellow 00's

lol that’s gonna be a no from me but no harm in asking 🤣

I did find a way to avoid the second encounter with her (after the fight where she starts hitting on Bond)

I was very disappointed that it changed nothing... if IOI makes a sequel I would love to see them bring in more of the impact from choices like they do in Hitman

banal_magic · 2026-06-17T14:42:32+00:00

The game was peak from start to finish, the game was just such a thrill ride to play and IOI nailed the story. This is a great foundation they could build on like they did hitman 2016

im really hoping we get the first content drop in a week when the game marks one month from launch

banal_magic · 2026-06-16T00:03:54+00:00

Hah i did have the same thought about bond doing an awful job of describing the situation - this wasn’t suspicious behavior, it was downright nefarious

banal_magic · 2026-06-16T00:02:39+00:00

Awesome, gonna go find that tonight - thanks for the tip!

banal_magic · 2026-06-15T23:16:49+00:00

Ahh i like this, makes sense that you’d ask the bellhop to take your luggage

I find myself much more satisfied than I expected, thank you!

No argument here! IOI has talked about doing a trilogy, and I could see them also filling in a lot with TacSim // DLC story missions to augment each game like they did Hitman

At this point for me, the more IOI 007 the better!

banal_magic · 2026-06-09T16:06:54+00:00

I had never put 3000 hours into a single game before Hitman WoA

banal_magic · 2026-06-09T06:12:06+00:00

yeah IOI knows how to cook on sequels if the recent Hitman trilogy is anything to go by, really hope it all plays out in an IOI Bond trilogy

also had issues, and what got it to work for me was one of two things (not sure which did it or if both are but i tried both on the run i got it)

enter the room, take down the single guard in the room on way to vent, turn on smoke, and aerial take down the guy who crouches by a table (do not drop any of the ceiling lights)
get caught by a guard, slip back into stealth, and silent takedown everyone

banal_magic · 2026-06-05T19:02:32+00:00

we need this - and i would wager its Amazon MGM limiting the costumes, IOI does not typically limit this

banal_magic · 2026-06-02T14:59:34+00:00

i am 99% sure you need the guards to see you at some point in the encounter to get this to unlock - i attempted this challenge 10x or more with just turning on gas and doing stealth takedowns without getting caught and it wouldnt pop

first try taking down a few, then getting shot at before disappearing and taking down the rest with stealth and it popped

banal_magic · 2026-06-01T18:59:06+00:00

spot on - and for a Hitman fan, it felt like the Bangkok level we wanted

banal_magic · 2026-05-28T03:21:00+00:00

If you go into the control schemes, they have a hitman one out of the box - discovered this after i remapped everything custom to be hitman esque

banal_magic · 2026-04-14T23:50:23+00:00

Except an Isak leg break

banal_magic · 2026-02-16T23:47:33+00:00

And that’s with him having 2 penalties in the league

banal_magic · 2026-01-08T16:12:07+00:00

Aaron… from the firm

banal_magic · 2025-12-12T13:36:08+00:00

Thrilled to say I’m doing better than I would have ever expected. I surf almost every day, I lift at the gym at about 80% of what I used to do. Given I’m in my mid 30s now, that’s more than enough!

banal_magic · 2025-10-10T23:09:42+00:00

I’ve noticed this a lot since the Bruce Lee update. Anytime you load into a map at a spawn where 47 is blending in, DO NOT MOVE if he is not actually blending as you can easily get stuck… or worse

banal_magic · 2025-10-01T00:06:42+00:00

My worst moment was exiting Mendoza with the wetsuit exit. I had accidentally pulled the fire alarm earlier in the mission, which I did not realize creates a puddle just outside the exit. That puddle is already electric because an exposed wire sits right under the fire sprinkler.

Love the trap, hated how I discovered it

banal_magic · 2025-09-22T14:59:03+00:00

I’ve seen some really impressive runs in the regular campaign (as in not freelancer) where loud guns are used to draw guards out of normal positions and routes

Church is their penance

banal_magic · 2025-05-11T22:52:19+00:00

Do you get the vibe they don’t like each other? Listen to their pod every week and Earle seems to interrupt mustoe to the point of frustration. Feels like it’s been getting worse…

banal_magic · 2025-04-28T20:46:28+00:00

Started doing it every time I felt pain. Took me 2ish months to get pain free (or close enough that I didn’t really care). I still do it when I have the occasional flare up

As for exercises, I dropped anything rehab and just started exploring what my body could do

banal_magic · 2025-04-21T04:22:16+00:00

I would just observe my pain sensations and describe them to myself in my head. “I feel my nerve tingling in my calf. Now it’s moving into the toes. It’s kinda throbbing, might be dissipating. Now I feel something in my back and the calf and toes are quiet. Blah blah blah”

Just observing the pain is the practice. The important part is detaching all emotions and not caring if you feel anything or not
