Hitman 1 and 2 are great games. Completed them a few months ago.ReeGee wrote: ↑ Sup guys it's me bringing up old games again. I finally got around to buying Hitman as these days you can buy the entire season for like $10-12 and I've read nothing but praise for this game in the past year or so with being able to play it all in the Hitman 2 engine.
I'm typically not into stealth games and it's among my least favorite genres but I decided to give this a try anyway since it's so cheap now and I saw a thread recently of tons of people including many who don't typically enjoy stealth raving about how good this game is now and they weren't lying. I've spent literally 5-6 hours just on the tutorial training maps completing all the different challenges and outcomes. I already love this game and haven't even started a real mission yet. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't played this yet. I'll probably be picking up the Hitman 2 episodes when they get cheaper.

So that's basically what I did, bought Hitman 1 GOTY on sale which unlocked the GOTY Legacy Pack "Free" in Hitman 2 which I'm playing without actually owning any of Hitman 2.heywhatsmyname wrote: ↑ Hitman 1 and 2 are great games. Completed them a few months ago.
I appreciate IO interactive bring the Hitman Legacy Pack to Hitman 2. It's free if you already own Hitman 1. Apparently they are going to do the same thing with Hitman 3 (which will release Jan 2021 on current and next-gen systems).

Hell yeah I loved replaying the first game in the engine of the second game. The backported improvements like hiding in foliage, carrying stuff in briefcases, etc made it feel like I was playing the game for the first time. Whatever improvements go into Hitman 3 will no doubt have the same effect on Hitman 2.heywhatsmyname wrote: ↑ Hitman 1 and 2 are great games. Completed them a few months ago.

Weird as my son and are were excited for this game, fired it up at launch and were like WTH is this? Sold it the next day and never looked back.SpicYMchaggis wrote: ↑ Sea of Thieves passes 15 million players since launch
I love seeing this so much.
I've been shilling this game and following it closely since it was in closed beta and well it was content light at launch the core of the game really was always really incredible and had a ton of potential.
The last few updates -specifically the introduction of emissaries- have really put it over the top.
Also it's crazy to see 1 million copies sold on steam despite it being a) Already available on gamepass/Microsoft store for several years b) Selling at full price

The core loop hasn't really changed all that much, you still get missions, solve puzzles, sail to islands etc... they've just done a number of things to improve, expand and make that basic formula far more exciting.

I was also super excited during the beta period, and had some fun games with absolute randos. But once it came out and none of my friends got into it, I lost all interest. You really need to have a regular group of friends to play this with. Alas, all my friends are really into Battle Royale games...

This and MCC has really put into perspective how adamant many people are with owning things on Steam. MCC was also peaking recently around 50-60K players on Steam alone despite being dirt cheap to play on Game Pass. I'd love to know the Game Pass numbers but I don't believe MS shares them. I just play wherever is cheapest which is Game Pass but seems there are still a lot of people are against the idea of "renting" games or even getting them free on other platforms and prefer to buy games on Steam.SpicYMchaggis wrote: ↑ Also it's crazy to see 1 million copies sold on steam despite it being a) Already available on gamepass/Microsoft store for several years b) Selling at full price
This is the main reason I never tried this game, heard it sucks with randoms and none of my friends play this gameM1GOmigs wrote: ↑ I was also super excited during the beta period, and had some fun games with absolute randos.

LOL we're at an age in our lives where I don't really care to make new friends with random XBox Live peeps... I tried doing it solo (they've got smaller schooners you can use if you want to do it by yourself or with 2 people) but it's just not the same.

It's a shame too because I think Rare did a really good job at making a core thing that's interesting. Ship management (manning sails, anchor, wheel, and plotting course) is all cool, but from the early game I played, once you've found treasure and brought it back, or gone through a few ship-to-ship battles, that's kind of it... I know they've added content since, but I'm just not willing to go through it with people I don't really know well.

Steam is a huge deal on the PC, if you are a PC gamer you have it installed no matter what. Microsoft's gaming cred on the PC isn't exactly good and awareness of their offerings is in a similar boat (pun intended). The discoverability Steam offers cannot be understated. But more to your point, I know personally if I really like something I want to own it particularly if it has replay value. If you've ever been in the middle of watching a favorite TV series that gets yanked from Netflix you will understand. I regularly revisit old games, especially in this age of DLC and post launch patching. You can often have a totally different experience later on. And many people are maxing out on subscription services, I know in our household we've made a conscious effort to reduce them because it seems like every company has a membership or subscription fee these days. Some people view all entertainment as inherently disposable/replaceable and others view it more as an ownership model. Neither approach is wrong, people should do whatever is right for them. There are definitely some games I want to own and others I don't care as much so I look at stuff like Gamepass more as a "try it out" type thing. I remember Phil saying in an interview that they were surprised as how many people "convert" from trying a game on Gamepass into buying it on the store.This and MCC has really put into perspective how adamant many people are with owning things on Steam.
