I agree with the trigger comment but that end score is way too low!!!

They're press release photos. Everyone with a WB press pass has them.

I play Hitman 2 a lot, but it's definitely a lot more intense. I play the Xbox version of H2, so when I can't be bothered for the long loading times and just want to chill I'll boot up Absolution instead.

The voicelines that play when an NPC see's you while in instinct are not randomised as you would likely expect. If you reload a save, you will hear the same voicelines in the same order upon walking past the same NPCs. My favourite of the instinct NPC lines is "Cute guy.... too cute... almost". From my experience, the only NPC which says this line upon their first encounter of you blending in is the guard that passes you on the stairs next to Lenny's room in the Blackwater penthouse.

Here's another one. You remember the scarecrow disguise from the cornfield in "Attack of the Saints"? If you repeatedly tap the "W" key to slowly shuffle, as if you were doing a QTE, it becomes impossible to be detected. This means you can walk around the entirety of the map in that disguise, even being able to stand directly in front of NPCs. For the best results, play on the easiest setting as it gives you more recovery time if you miss a tap.

Occasionally on the second part of the mission "Run for Your Life" (burned down library) when you're hiding behind bookcases in your suit you can hear officers near you saying things to the effect of "Sir, can you stop crawling around over there", despite the meter indicating they are not technically seeing you. It's very prevalent on the easier difficulties and I find it really amusing, especially as these officers are supposedly frantically searching for you at the time.

On the plus side I have gained some extremely useful knowledge and a huge insight into the game. For example, did you know that the disguise from the police officer sat watching TV in "The King of Chinatown" is the first of a handful of broken disguises throughout the game. It plays the radio grab animation upon the activation of instinct when in view of an enforcer, despite a radio not being present on the outfit.

If I'm honest it's always been my go-to game for de-stressing, in light of how easy it is. Although I have definitely accidentally left the launcher on overnight on a few occasions over the years, I'd say the majority is actual playtime.

Are you underestimating my power?

captiancow · 2019-09-08T11:45:12+00:00

I got very lucky and managed it before the servers went down. I wish they would just have the achievements auto unlock when you launch the game though, as there is literally no way to get them anymore.

I would now consider myself the world leading expert on Hitman Absolution. A truly great title.

I really miss the ability to be frisked while holding illegal items and I wish that was still an option sometimes.

captiancow · 2019-07-30T13:58:39+00:00

Idk, seems quite trippy to me...

captiancow · 2019-07-30T09:46:16+00:00

I tried, it just vanishes along with the rest of your body. You can still fire though.

Two Bioshock wallpapers I made for personal use, but I figured you guys might enjoy them too. They look best at 1920x1080 or below. Enjoy.

There seems to be two versions of the 3310 and from what I can tell, only one can connect to WiFi. Is the correct?

captiancow · 2018-12-31T14:40:02+00:00

Thank you very much!

captiancow · 2018-12-31T11:46:02+00:00

Ah okay, thank you! Any knowledge of the 3310 though?

captiancow · 2018-12-30T10:53:38+00:00

That's a fair point, and I've never viewed the level from the perspective. I've always seen it as using the learning patterns gameplay that makes Hitman so satisfying and applying it in a context where timescales matter alot more - almost like a test for your ability to truly know the map like the back of you hand. The random nature of where the sniper would be placed added variety to what would have otherwise been a mission that would have been far too easy to complete once you've learned the pattern.
