Hitman Absolution

[Hooahguy]

I loved Blood Money, now I am very excited for this one!

Hitman has never been about charging right into the foray guns blazing, slaughtering half a dozen people (aside from the last act of Blood Money).

Lol wut?
Clearly you have been playing wrong...

But but....that was what I was trying to say. Choice!
I was worried we'd be forced onto more action-y paths. Until I saw the E3 demo.

I know!
I never had my picture in the papers in Blood Money, always ended up getting the Silent Assassin thingy.

Good, than we are in agreement and there is no need for me to leave a garrison of Stormtroopers in your fancy cloud city.

Nearly made a new thread when I remembered I'd started one about this game already.
Review on IGN says that while it does have some scenarios where the game forces one to take the violent shoot 'em up path, in general the game is akin to a Hitman Blood Money, but a lot smoother.
However since Mass Effect 3 and Colin Moriarty's comment's on IGN I've been a little skeptical about their reviews, so going to wait for other opinions before I get this one.

Eurogamer likes it, not as much as Blood Money but enjoyable

PC Gamer dumped all over it. Guess the check got lost in the mail. Activating it tomorrow, didn't get the early version, will be making my own opinion then.

Rock Paper Shotgun have not given it a good review either - they seem to think its too narrative driven and not free form enough (ie it forces you down restrictive paths rather than letting you plan and play as you want)

I am still going to play it but this has dampened my mood towards it a little
