Starting to change my mind about Hitman absolution

I'm a huge Hitman fan and I played Hitman 4 a lot and pretty hardcore ( going for them SA ranks/ suit only on pro ect)At first I was really angry at Hitman A.I went as far to call it a betrayal of the franchise.The main reasonI felt that way is that near thebeginning of the game (after the hotel) there is a segmet that is way too long and involves sneaking behind cover, hiding from cops and using a new crowd cover (like in Assassins creed) mechanic. It didn't feet like Hitman at all and I still think that part of the game is total bullsh*t.However the game does gets much better.Wen you get too the 'cool' levels you really get the sence that this game was made by the same people that made the other hitman games.You get to be creative again and its quite challenging.I'm playing on hard for my 1st playthrough and going full stelth (aka restarting the level/checkpint every time you get detected) requires sh*t tons patience, tiral and error (in a good way) and planning. Most Importantly it feels like Hitman again.Is it as good as Hitman 4 ? Not a chance. The new costume system, all the sneaking behind cover, the smaller levels, the fact that you don't choose your own equipment and that stupid 'hide from cops' part of the game make sure of that but it is a good game and it is a Hitman game.Once you get used to the new game mechanics and learn how to approach your objectives it gets pretty fun.Wen you realise that the gamepllay is actually good you also start to notice how great the production values are.Hearing 47s voice again is so awesome and nostalgic and the game looks great (atleast on PC).The humor really reminds me of Hitman 4 too.To sum it up, for me Hitman A is not as good as Hitman 4 but its still a good game and I'm glad I played on even after I was disappointed to understand that.So whats your expiriance with the game ? Anyone else feel the same way ?P.S. The cop part of the game is still bullsh*t and I hate it beacuse its Thief + Assassins creed and not Hitman.jiz.

Radios are my best friend in this game. Whenever I see one I always take it with me, as it's great for getting through heavilly fortified areas completely undetected. Just set that baby down in a corner (preferably next to a door way so enemies always have their back to you when they go to turn it off), turn it on, run away, wait, profit, and repeat. I had a pile of 11 unconcious dudes laying next to me at one point :lol:
Took me a few minutes to dump all of the bodies out a window.

I am a big fan of any throwable weapons. There is something so awesome about throwing a screwdriver right through someone's skull

HAHA, yeah. I had a lot of fun with the screwdriver. It's nice because it's not considered a weapon so you can just walk around with it in your hand and go totally unnoticed. I went on a huge killing spree with that thing in Terminus dressed as an electrician. The entire hotel was freaking out, not knowing what was going on or who was doing it.

It's awesome moments like those where I wish I could turn the score counter off.
