Hitman: Blood Money (Best Game Evar?)

[MrSnugglesworth]

Eh.

Its alright I guess.


Not my type of game I guess.

Alright hear me out here. I've spent over 1000 hours playing both Oblivion and Fallout 3. I love tthem both and they take 2nd and 3rd place respectively. But Hitman: Blood Money is seriously the best game ever. I've played through the campaign on every difficulty and I still come bck for more. Every month I find myself strangling people. The music is unbelieveable, Jesper Kyd masterfully crafted the perfect soundtrack. The story is compelling, The Gameplay is fantastic, THe music is compelling, and there is no shoehorned-n multiplayer component. Best Game EVAR? I think so.

(Discuss Bitches.)

I disagree, I think Hitman is weak in many areas including gameplay and story. Of course,to you it may be the best ever game. I recommend you try the following, all good, some great:

Shadow of The Colossus (Have not tried)
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare (Liked it)
Bioshock (Liked it)
Halo CE (Liked it)
Mass Effect (Liked It)
Fable (Hated it)
Left 4 Dead (Loved it)
GTA IV (Boting...)
Gears Of War 1 & 2 (Gow 1 was decent Gow2 was uninspired)
Crackdown (Have not played)
Assassin's Creed (A little linear but likeable.)
Bully (Not tried)
Half Life 1 & 2 (Disliked)
Batman Arkham Asylum (Not played yet)

Responses in parantheses.

It's very good not the best game ever though.

Might scrape my top ten if it's lucky.

 

[Joshimodo]

Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare
Mass Effect
Fable
Left 4 Dead
GTA IV
Gears Of War 1 & 2
Crackdown
Assassin's Creed
Bully

None of those games have a place in a "best games ever" list (though I only dislike one of them, CoD4, the others are not completely amazing in every way, or at least most ways).

OT:

Best game ever? Not by a long shot.
Best Hitman game? I preferred Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. Much more memorable.

Hitman: Blood Money is an amazing game. Brilliantly atmospheric, massive in scope and undertaking, darkly humorous, enthralling and possessing of an amazing score.

Contracts has a darker feel (which I love), but the gameplay isn't quite as good.

Hitman 2 isn't horrible, but I'm just too tempted to run and gun because of how tempermental the stealth mechanics are.

Oh and, "Put your head on my shoulder..."

You will never forget those words if you played Contracts.

Note: Yahtzee apparently liked Blood Money. Let's see how many people suddenly change their minds about the game now that I've said that.

You know I've actually not played any other Hitman Game.

Resident Evil 4 is the best game ever, not Hitman: Blood Money.

Interesting thought. How do you back this up? It was decent but I only played it on the Gamecube.

Well, get out there and play Contracts, then! The levels are great, it's just the unpolished mechanics that drag it down. I mean, it controls and behaves better if you just shoot everything. When you stealth around, then the game gets either boring or broken. Blood Money introduced "fixed" levels of suspicion, where guards wouldn't bust you just for standing around in disguise. In contracts, every second a guard can see you is one more second of your "busted" meter going up. Which is lame. Not every guard has the magical ability to see through disguises! They aren't all on first-name bases with each other!

But it's still a good game.

How much would you say it costs? I gots very little cash.

I'd recommend you play Silent Assassin instead. Contracts is pretty much a remake of Hitman: Codename 47. Silent Assassin is available on Steam for 10?, or you can buy the collection of Codename 47, Silent Assassin and Blood Money for 20?.

I have a shitty computer can I run Silent Assassin on a shitty non-gaming rig?

I wouldn't know about running SA or Contracts on a PC (I still recommend Contracts), but they came out for all the major consoles. If you go for the PS2 or Xbox version, both games should cost almost nothing as long as you have somewhere you can guy secondhand games from.

I'd suggest Ebay or Half.com, but that might not work if you're in Europe.

Oh, then you can find copies of both games for PS2 or Xbox for probably less than $10 total.

Resident Evil 4 is the best game ever, not Hitman: Blood Money.

Resi 4 had a great combat system, an interesting (and less inane than previous Resi games) storyline and impressive overall gameplay. Plus, good graphics for it's time coupled with a unique inventory system.

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Hitman: Blood Money was an awesome game because it was a Hitman Game. The problem was that while it was definately one of the better games of the last generation, it was simply a reiteration of the previous games. It begs for another game, but it needs something new and fresh to either reinvigorate or restart the series entirely.

 

[Hyperactiveman]

There is no "best game ever" because every gamer is different and enjoys different games.

However I do enjoy playing Hitman and it is definitely one series for the ages in my books.
