Hitman 3

I can't move on till I hit mastery. Luckily the game tracks challenges even after a reload so you can do something get the challenge and reload and not worry about the consequences. You have to finish the level to "bank" them.

1st level completed in 9 seconds.

Spoilers obviously.

Hate the swing of emotion you get when after infiltrating a high security area, you walk through some doors, get your bearings and think "Ah, I know this place... this leads back round to the other side" or whatever, then you turn around and realise the doors have closed behind you and you're locked out.

Also wish the minimap could give some indication if you'll be trespassing if you enter an area in your current disguise before you actually enter it.

Loving the game though. Did the Berlin level again tonight killing some of the guys in a completely different way, including new areas... and still haven't discovered half the stuff you can do. Incredible.

It doesn't really matter if you wander into an area with an incorrect disguise. If the A.I spots you it will give you a chance to leave or escort you out of the area. If you comply you don't set off an alert and it doesn't effect you're ratings.

In Hitman (2016) this wasn't the case and the enemies would instantly attack you and you would automatically loose the Silent Assassin rating. You had no chance to undo your error.

Ah yeah, its a minor annoyance, hasn't caused any difficulties. Just feel very un-Hitman-like when it causes me to go "Whoopsydaisy!" in my head.

Finished it tonight. Thoroughly enjoyed it and got full mastery on every level too as well as achievements. Felt it was easier over all compared to the previous though maybe it's just experience.

One minor gripe was the last level wasn't great and even suit only silent assassin on a blind first attempt was viable.

Mendoza was tricky for level 20 in the end I had to do the classics to get enough xp as I'd everything else done. Couldn't figure out a viable way to do suit only silent and sniper assassin in one, or even just sniper assassin. Vidal was the problem, couldn't see anyway of sniping her clean and hiding the body. In the in I used a combination of my own work and a guide for taking her out suit only by subduing her then shooting her concealed body. This was at odds with the other levels which seemed to have a few options for all 4 classics in one run.

Azza · 28-01-2021 11:02pm

You don't need to hide bodies to get Sniper Assassin. Just make sure you're not seen killing the targets.

I was going for the 4 in the one run to save time which I eventually managed, but would have been quicker to do the the sniper assassin one and then a hands on suit only run.

Also given that it was totally viable to do that on all other levels made me persist. Even getting at her suit only meant stripping her of guards and exploiting the increased range of audio distractions in this game.

February Roadmap released by IOI. Looking forward to the escalations (Proloff Parable looks good!) and good to see the Elusive Targets back.

Exclamation Marc · 09-02-2021 4:33pm

Picked up the Platinum trophy today and have it all polished off. I only ever get them for games I really love and Hitman 3 was incredible. Didn't feel like a huge slog getting the platinum either (as I like doing all the challenges). Looking forward to more content drops.

What a game.

CiaranW · 09-02-2021 5:31pm

Decided to pick up Hitman 3 on the weekend, I haven't played it before.
Absolutely loving it.
After completing Berlin I decided to buy Hitman 1 Gold edition.
Really looking forward to getting into this.

You should probably have just picked up the legacy pack for €30, unless the original was on offer.

Hitman 2 Gold is currently €15 on Xbox if that is the platform you're on, much better than paying €100 for the Gold Access pack.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/p/hitman-2-gold-edition/brwrl73qbqn0?cid=msft_web_search&activetab=pivot:overviewtab

For older games the Xbox One double pack of Blood Money and Absolution is also €15.

Just started playing Hitman 1 on Xbox Series X and I'm loving it. I think I downloaded it for free about a year ago but never got to it.
I've just bought Hitman 2 for €15.
Any idea where would be the best priced place to pick up Hitman 3? I found it today on Eneba for about €33 but its saying its a UK only download and will not work in Ireland.
Any ideas?

It's €36.50 for an EU code on Eneba.

https://www.eneba.com/xbox-hitman-3-xbox-one-xbox-live-key-europe

I got an Argentine code and took a quick trip to there to redeem it, they're currently €27.

j14 · 12-02-2021 10:25am

Thanks for that. I wasn't too sure if that was the full Hitman 3 game as I have heard of them being released in installments. I was also thrown off by the fact that when you go to the site the prompted ad (the price at the top of the screen) is still €60-ish euro. I'll try one of the cheaper options and see how I get on.

It was €36.50 when I posted. That key has been now sold.

Easy enough to buy out of region codes on the Xbox. Can't tell you exactly how to do it here but a search will give you the answer pretty quickly.

So what is the best way to get all 3 of the new hitman games on xbox?

First things first buy Hitman 2 Gold digitally before Tuesday as it's reduced to €15.

Currently ignore Hitman 1 and buy the legacy pack for the content on Hitman 3 for €30. The full game is currently €70, you could wait for a discount.

Hitman 3 is currently €60 unless you buy an out of region digital code.

j14 · 12-02-2021 8:04pm

If you play Hitman 1 from Hitman 3 are the graphics improved?

j14 · 12-02-2021 10:07pm

Another question. I downloaded Hitman 1 from the free with Gold promotion about a year ago. It has all the levels from Hitman 1 but when I try to redemm the legacy pack for Hitman 2 it's saying content unavailable. I bought the Gold edition of hitman 2 last night for €15 on the xbox store.
Any ideas how to get Hitman 1 levels in Hitman 2?

You need to redeem the Hitman legacy pack for Hitman 2 in the Hitman 1 in game store.

Once that it done it will be imported into Hitman 2, which will allow you to then redeem the legacy pack for Hitman 3.

All of the H1 levels get the improvements from H2 or H3 whichever you're playing them in.

Yes they are improved. Hitman 3 adding screen space reflections and they went back and added them into the old games at least when played within Hitman 3. I'm not sure if the improvements are adding back for users who just own Hitman 1 or 2 or both but not Hitman 3.

I believe they also decreased storage requirements, so Hitman 3 combined with Hitman 1 and 2 is smaller than Hitman 1 and 2 use to be together.

I think have played it myself Hitman 3 ran the smoothest of the 3 games as well. Still a little crashy at least on PC.

Sure did. On PlayStation Hitman 2 with Hitman 1 levels and expansion was clocking in around 120GB. All three under Hitman 3 are in around 55/60GB now.

This worked for me, sign in with your ms account and you should see an option to install with gold or similar.

Trying to do it like IO advised wasn't working for me,it was asking me to buy Hitman 1 on the xbox store page.

That's for Hitman 3. That only works if you have already imported Hitman 1 into Hitman 2.

To import Hitman 1 into 2 you need to install 1 and redeem the Legacy Pack for Hitman 2 in the in game store.

Then you should see the link you provided as being owned.

When I try to access the Hitman 1 legacy pack from Hitman 2 it just says that the content is unavailable.

Check your ready to install list on H2. Some people have had luck and all the H1 locations are listed there without needing the legacy pack.

You should be able to check this by trying to download an individual level like Sapienza below.

I still haven't managed to download the legacy pack as the xbox store is asking for €23 to download it and I'm reluctant to pay for something that should be free. I did manage to down load all the Hitman 1 legacy missions one by one into Hitman 2 but I lost all progress in all the missions. If I pay the €23 will my progress appear in Hitman 2? Or should I just be happy that I now have all the Legacy mission in Hitman 2?
Picture of the xbox store for proof.

Why is thus so confusingðŸ€£

Progress can't be brought from Hitman 1 into Hitman 2. There is a website that will let you bring all your progress from Hitman 2 into 3 though, you will lose all your existing Hitman 3 data though if done after you start H3.

Now that you have the H1 levels in H2 you should be able to get the Legacy pack for H3.
