Yes, I know. I used them correctly. Do you actually have an issue with what I wrote?

But I haven’t told you you’re wrong for liking anything. You can like as many mediocre games as you want. It doesn’t bother me at all.

Is Bernie “washed up”? Isn’t he more popular now than ever before?

Hitman 2 is great, but Hitman (2016) is almost identical, in a good way. There’s no need to skip over it if you can start with that one.

You need to go into these games with a different mindset than you would other games. I played 2016's Hitman by just clearing each mission once or twice. When I got Hitman 2, I decided I would try to complete as many objectives as possible, and ended up putting in nearly 100 hours by the time I stopped.

“You either are led by the hand, or provided minimal passive guidance”

Uhhhhhh . . . you can undo anything if you save often enough (and even then, there are auto saves aplenty). Are you only playing on the hardest difficulty or something?

“The way to get it spelled out to the players who are more about blazing through as quick as possible on levels and aren’t going to take the time to go hunting”

Maybe you’ll stop hating people with dark skin.

Opinions can’t be “right” or “wrong.” Are you five years old? Did my criticism of a video game hurt you?

Ugh, nobody should be forced to play through this game to the end.

Imagine if it didn’t use a familiar song people already associate with feelings and connotations, and if it had a track list that could stand on its own. You know, the way Final Fantasy games used to.

Not sure what game you’re referring to. It sounds like Ocarina of Time, where you’re constantly being yelled at by Navi. Or maybe Skyward Sword. Maybe you’re just happy it was the first Zelda game you could play without being yelled at?

This is an argumentum ad populum fallacy. It doesn’t matter how many people believe one thing or another. Do you understand what opinions are?

BotW was . . . fine? But exploration is how I play all open-world games. I guess it was a “breath of wild air” to people who were funneled into playing it that way for the first time.

Here’s the problem.

I bought Hitman 2 on steam a year after it was released, got the full game (not the “gold” version of whatever that is) for $20. It should be less than that by now, at least when there’s a sale. In any case, the game you want shouldn’t cost you more than $20.

The game isn’t about getting from point A or point B. It’s intentionally designed for you to learn the areas and your surroundings, so that you replay them differently and accomplish different objectives each time. Your first playthrough of any mission should be a casual attempt at fucking around and seeing what…

Hitman 2 is especially worth it if you already own Hitman 1. All the content of that game is imported into the sequel (although, in my case not my save file, but that was a good excuse to replay all the good stuff), and items you unlock carry over into any mission in either game.

Eh.
