I dont think you missed much. The escalation was pretty weak and the only unlock was a fatal batarang.
Batarang? I feel even worse now
Yeah, think so
I can still get the unlocks and shit?
IO coming through yet again
I thought the Escalation was pretty fun 🤷🏼♂️. Yeah, it was pretty simple and you could do all 3 levels in 10 minutes or so, but I had fun with it.
I hope they bring the Christmas stuff back in December, since I missed it last year.

It was neat but not particularly exciting. I think I'd have liked it more if it was a little more structured around stealthily killing everyone like in a horror movie, like some of the challenge packs are, rather than just you doing whatever you want to get through all the guards. As is, the concept of it being a dream was interesting but they could have done more with that, hmm.
I basically used the third level to practice sniping, since I've done that super rarely.And so in the process I uhhhhhh finally figured out what it meant by using R2 to steady aim, oops.
I think it'll probably be back, and permanently too? At least, the note about what's still coming for Hitman 2 made it seem that way.

If the escalation was "kill all the guards" it would have been fine
KO is just bullshit and a chore

Im not that great at the game and I thought it was pretty easy. I just picked up the bat and threw it at people.
It's not that it's hard, but doing it SA is just not interesting, it just felt like a waste of time like the dump 47 bodies challenge on sgail they deleted earlier this year
...are you talking about knocking out the target? Cause you absolutely could kill all the guards; the condition was knocking out or killing them.
(Unless you were playing for points, I guess...?)
Yes I know you can just kill the guards, but I usually like to go for SA on the last level of an escalation, and you can't kill them if you want it.
Haven't really touched the game in months but bought the season pass and excited to try that out
really hope Hitman 3 is episodic, much better content flow

Absolutely. There was something to look forward to every other month while mastering each new map released.
Spent maybe an hour trying to get SA on the sapienza escalation with the PC hack thing
Was on a perfect run with just the PC to go and got fucked by a random head turn. Yeah I gave up on SA and left the mission while getting shot up.

IO said they're going to be cycling through the targets again after the final (new) elusive ends this month, so... eventually.
Holy shit. I unlocked the electrocution phone and this thing is basically a cheat code. Is there anyway to get caught using this thing?
Ah ok, that's cool. Better keep an eye on my inbox then. Thanks.
It probably should just be a knock out unless the person is standing in water. I try not to use it now since it feels like cheating
I finally played Haven Island last night and I like the level but I feel like I am going about this all wrong. I went the route to give the one target the keys to the jet ski assuming he would crash, but...he never does? Am I missing something? I see you can plant a remote explosive on it but I didnt bring one with me and could never find one in the level.
Also, I disguised myself as the personal trainer but I dont see a point ever where there are no people around to use the bench press kill and I feel like Im missing something here.

There's a remote explosive in
the security outpost
The bench press kill is easiest to do if you start off as the personal trainer, otherwise it can take a while for the guy to cycle through.
When it comes to Hitman, the world is so fascinating. There's always stuff going on, so there's countless opportunities available.
One thing I've learned about myself since playing Hitman 1 is that I'm not...very creative. I tend to kill with a silencer or some over basic way, but I see so many others doing cooler things. I would ask how to have a more creative approach, but that really comes down to me experimenting with the game more often. I already find the game really fun as it is, so I know doing more will only enhance that feeling.

I've been going back and knocking out legacy mastery as I only hit like level 5-10ish across the old maps. I had forgot there is stuff not just tied to mastery levels. Does this list look to be fairly complete and updated or something better out there? I notice it doesn't have the extra starting locations so may need to track those down separately.
Starting locations are all tied to mastery level so you're good if you just get level 20 everywhere
Marrakesh has the one in the garage where you have to get the key to the car to unlock it. Noticed it last night and unlocked it. Not sure if there are others.
Huh, forgot about that one. I think they're the exception, just do planning on every map after you've got level 20 mastery and it shouldn't take long to figure out which you're missing.
I'm trying to catch up on the challenge packs and man some of them blow ass. The bangkok hotel staff one, the hokkaido ninja one, the scarecrow one are just straight up trash. Wish they'd improved them.

I didn't think those first two were too bad, but that Scarecrow one was horrific. I dunno how the fire one is even possible without the Wicker Man easter egg, and even then it was a pain getting people to witness things without accidentally burning them up as well.
So no new ETs for the 2018 game and they're not bringing back all the Legacy ETs?
Bummer. But I guess they gotta save some for the third game. I think they missed the mark big time with this concept for the recent game. It seemed so promising after The Undying but it seems they peaked with the first one...
Wow, they still did not fixed the trashcan bug? At this point, they will never fix it...
When you poison someone with emetic poison, a lot of targets will opt to go to trashcans instead of toilets to throw up. The worst is when the toilet is actually closer, but they go to the trashcan anyway. This makes the drowning challenges more challenging than they should be.
I find myself in the same spot. I still feel it was due to the episodic release.
I picked up the season pass about a month ago when it was 13 and I still haven't played any of the content yet.
Pleasantly surprised that the pirate escalation wasn't grindy garbage. Kinda challenging but not complete shite.
Above: hard to figure out.
You have to dismiss every soldier you can dismiss with the "captain" disguise (red cap), then you'll be able to turn on some music for them to dance (and use the loudspeaker thing that is used in a kill opportunity). Then kill zeydan. I think it's in that order.

How...very specific yeah I don't think I would've figured that out.
Completed Marrakesh and the bonus mission "A house built on sand". I only need to complete the Escalation for it and man, the sniper you get from that looks insane. Silenced, 4x zoom and 2 more bonuses I forgot.
Definitely a must have. Next up will be Bangkok. The value you get for this game, when you include the legacy maps too, is insane. I need to check my playtime but it's crazy to think I have a lot of contents left.

finished haven, 20 mastery, saso done, master mode done
the leveldesign is great and in many ways the opposite of or rather complementary to the bank level, very wide and beautiful location with tons of options and possibilities. however I have to say the kills didn't seem to be very spectacular, interesting or unique. we have seen many of them already in variations and apart from the usb stick thingy there wasn't really that much going on. although I did enjoy gassing them all in the underground sever farm, that was a fun idea. but was there something I missed? what is going on with that squid hologram down there?
anyway, it was a good sendoff level after the bank, which I personally found to be disappointing. Miami and Sgail stay the best levels in this installment though, but in general, the quality of the levels was extremely high, only whittleton creek and the bank were kind of mediocre, the others can easily be counted among the best levels in the franchise.
I do have to say, though, that I do feel the fatigue a bit now. I am not sure what I want from Hitman 3, after Hitman 2016 I said they could release levels until the day I die and I would buy them all, now I have to admit I am feeling a bit tired, which is why I waited so long to catch up the new content. Which is really good btw. they made more great improvements to the user interface and added a lot of fun content with good unlocks. I mean seriously the electro phone and the emetic gun are super fun and useful. I got 100 hours into Himan 2016 and now 70 hours into Hitman 2 and altough I got 30 more hours out of Hitman 2016 due to the episodic model I have to say I am not sure which model I prefer or would want for Hitman 3, I can see the advantages of both.
Anyway, IOI are still on top of their game when it comes to level design, it's incredible what they do and no other developer or franchise comes close to this. I also think the game works great as a shooter, I enjoy the challenges/escalations that allow you do massacre the level just to let of some steam.
As I mentioned before, I think I'd like something more from Hitman 3 than just 5 or 6 new levels again in the same engine. And apart from that I'd still like the sex to come back to Hitman again, after 2 full games without strip clubs or the like I am certain this must have been a conscious decision and I wonder why that was made.
