Hitman 3

I played the first few Hitman games from 2000~2004 (or thereabouts), but over the past few steam sales I've purchased "Hitman 1", "Hitman 2", and "Hitman: World of Assassination" - and then never played a single one of them!

I was just about to boot up "Hitman 1" and get back into the series, but, am I right in saying I can just play "World of Assassination" alone now, as it incorporates the previous 2 games?

(and, I guess….I wasted my money on buying them also! 😋)

Unless you want the achievements. Plus the physics degraded significantly after the first one. Much less destructible environments etc in 2 and 3, even on the maps from 1.

Amazon have disc copies on ps5 for €33 if it's any use.

You need to unlock a sniper rifle and leave it in a drop location when selecting your load out. First sniper unlock in 2 comes from reaching mastery level 5 in Miami.

On the second point that is required for SASO(Silent Assassin Suit Only), you can change costume on a standard SA run.

Thanks, looks like I'm heading back to Miami 😊 think I'll have to go with WoA on Amazon, the freelancer mode looks class. Pity Amazon Ireland delivery times are gone shite.

Mastered Hawkes Bay which was a ton of fun. I thought you'd have to do every single challenge which would have taken 20+ runs but i got to mastery 5 in 3 runs.

Into Miami and i forgot how big it was. Messy first run but already found stuff i didn't know about and got to mastery 3 on first run so very close to getting the sniper. That's gonna be a very tough mission to complete suit only and not be spotted.

I saw that last night alright. After the sniper, I'll be looking to unlock the briefcase, thanks!

I was fully sure i owned hitman 1 but it says i have to access it through WoA. Will check my library later, would love another trek through Sapaienza.

Unlocked the lethal pills from A New Life, needed just a few thousand xp so tried the the public enemy challenge of killing both targets with smg or ar, decided to do it in just the suit as well. Whole new level of sneaking around mixed with absolute carnage but finished the level with 10k xp and the pills.

Think I'm ready to try for master level 10 in the castle for silenced sniper.

Ooh the castle is tough. Burning the effigy mission was a lot of fun and actually quite easy. Making a vote was quite challenging but turns out i needed to poison the drink earlier in the mission which is impossible without doing it once as i don't think it indicates which drink would he hers. I spent way too too long trying to steam the necklace before giving up but think i have a new idea to approach it. Yupp, having a lot of fun with it.

I went from not being able to complete the 3 headed serpent to getting SASO Sniper on it. I'm not looking to any guides, just following each person until there's an opening when they're on their own which isn't very often at all. Ava trying to think of ways to get them on their own while hiding in the shadows as I'm avoiding using disguises, just loving it. I went back to Miami as the Robert sniper kill on my first go wasn't clean. Ended up getting it this time and 1st on my friends leaderboard completing with 5 stars in 10 minutes. Checked the global leaderboard and the record is 15 seconds wtf!

Currently in Mumbai trying to snipe Rangan and the fecker is never alone. Ton of trial and error save scumming until i got him into an area for a phone call where i had already gotten rid of the guard. Pure and utter joy when he walked into my killing den, completely felt like a spider catching a fly. WoA should arrive tomorrow so I'll be getting straight into Freelancer and building up my Hitman mansion.

Wrench, crowbar or hammer for me, as they also have alternate uses.

Started doing the arcade contracts, shakes things up from my normal save scum method of play, since you have to do it all in one go. Heightens the tension and stakes for sure.

I like to drop the explosive duck for the target to pick up then detonate it somewhere where the body is hidden
