Got this plus the Legacy pack recently, it's amazing and I spent like 15 hours on the first level alone (Paris fashion show in my case since I'm new), solving all the challenges and mission stories. Beenplaying with minimal story guide, it's cool to mess around with and getting to really know the sandbox and doing the objectives the dozens of alternative ways, figuring out all the little puzzles to tick all the story/challenge checkmarks in the menus.
But as a fan of Blood Money and the old games, as I started exploring Sapienza, I find that there's something missing from playing this as a groundhog day murder puzzle game with xray superpowers (as cool as that is). There's something very cheap about playing the levels for the first time and seeing everything and everyone through walls and getting tips on what to do.
I'm thinking of doing a complete blind playthrough of all the levels from sapienza onwards with no missions guides and no Instict, just figuring out how to get the kills cleanly the oldschool way, having the compounds be a scary mistery beyond the walls that I need to discover, and moving on to the next level after finally getting the kills, and then eventually coming back to play all the levels the arcadey way with Instict to do all the challenges and random fun stuff. This way I can get the oldschool immersive experience I crave first and afterwards the cool new arcadey hitman experience that I also seem to enjoy.
Anyone here do something like this? How did it go? I figure it's going to suck a bit not being able to look through the doors' keyholes.
