First Mass Effect 3 and how upset various people got over the ending, and now it seems before a game has even been released developers are paying attention to the negative comments towards their future wares.
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
Hitman: Absolution: 72H for FREE. There's no gimmick here, just CLAIM IT and it's yours forever
The power of voice indeed. Except sometimes moaners need to shut up or make their own game.
thank you. this needed to be said.
Most of us have been entirely desensitized by everything we see, but every now and then there will be a narrow minded, politically correct, arrogant wind bag who knows he/she will be offended by what he/she may see, but clicks the link or reads the article anyways just to be further outraged at something they knew they would disagree with from the start.
As Raiden said, it's very much a case of having a majority of people loving what IO is doing, but a small, and very focal bunch disowning it and spreading their pre-packaged opinions in a way that people think is indicative of all public opinion.
People have so much bravery behind their computer screens. lol.
The Hitman trailer had absolutely no context. Women jumped out, stripped into leather fetish gear, and were killed in violent ways. People weren't "crybabies" because they were put off by such an immature, cheap commercial. And now, they added the necessary context to the game. Not to thee trailer to "appease crybabies"....to the GAME. Because they realized that we like to understand what's going on in our games.
How is that so horrible? People made constructive criticism and the game was improved.
