I hate Colorado so much.
I guess Hitman 3 releasing at full price on steam riled up the gamers, so I just got my standard version upgraded to the Deluxe this evening. Personally I enjoy Hitman games enough that I had no problem paying full price, but at the same time Hitman 3 is evidence that they have done everything they can with the possibility space of this design. Working on a licensed property next will hopefully put enough of a fire under their ass to get out of this rut.

impossible for me to imagine the hitman game type could ever have a definitive conclusion

I think the worst part of Colorado is how most of the targets (except Sean Rose) just follow these incredibly tiny mini-paths, which makes the whole thing feel kinda small, even with four targets.
That, and the whole thing before they patched it, where you always had to do the basement escape and manually trigger each individual cutscene, looking at the boards and desk and all that.
That said, I’ve never pulled off a suit only run on that map. Too intense.

I like that proto-Sniper Assassin mission that’s in Patient Zero which takes place in Colorado.
I’m pretty sure I did back in Hitman 1, and it involved doing really dumb “whose footsteps are those” style dancing at just the edge of people’s viewcones. That was before I realised that people’s desire for coins supersedes almost every other bodily desire, and that people think its super normal to die from poisoned water bottles and you don’t have to hide those bodies.

3 was a let down coming off of 2 with the exception of Berlin — everything feels constrained in service of the conclusive narrative which never sits right because a) I never thought I was supposed to care about 47 or Grey themselves and b) am I really supposed to believe I’m out of oligarchs to kill?
It’s still a great game on its own merits for anyone who played MGS2 and MGS3 as comedy adventure games.

I dunno I cried at particularly affecting radio chatter in Destiny last year. (This is meant as a low bar.) I choke up easily at anything found family.
I just don’t emotionally connect with 47 and didn’t think I was supposed to because he’s a deadpan cipher. Fair play if you did!
The support characters were a little more developed but taking the focus off the targets missed the mark for me.
the most relatable character for me in media I can think of recently is Carl the T-800 in terminator: dark fate

i thought the levels mostly felt in scope and tone pretty much in line with the others when i considered them in vacuums, which i thought was a pretty easy flip to switch after those first runs (where admittedly there were more in-your-face Plot bits than before). though then i also think the one level that does feel more inherently restrained by caring about The Characters, mendoza, kind of sings because of it, too
in any case i don’t mind big narrative swing anyway, though i admit i’m disappointed things had to wrap up so neatly

Got a PS4, PS3 and a PC Whats a good starter hitman?
Whats the MGS3 of hitman?
The “Trilogy” of Hitman (2016), 2, and 3 is hands-down the best entry point in my experience. You can get all three bundled together in one engine/game right now on Steam or Epic. You might own Hitman 1 on Epic already if you kept up with giveaways.

Blood Money was the turning point where the series went from janky mostly serious stealth game to a looney toons playground. Hitman 1 was then the merging of that and the freeform objectives of contracts mode in Absolution, which was one of two good things about that game.
The other good thing in Absolution is that the plot of Hitman: Absolution is that The Hitman is Framed For Murder.
The third good thing about Absolution is the american bioweapon scientist whose labcoat is a cowboy outfit including 5 gallon hat.
