Yup, yet another Hitman fanboy decides to share his disappointment.

Well, i know that fanboys complain to minor changes in a game (like the notoriety system in BM), but this time it's different. They changed the core of the game, probably to suit a wider audience (more money) and that always leads to an average game. Look at Mafia, a freakin masterpiece, while its sequel is just average. It's the same with this one, Absolution is just a dumbed down average game.

I'm not even going to mention the instinct mode or point-shooting because i completed the game on purist mode, nor the fact that they removed the suitcase which was iconic, or that you aren't allowed to choose your weapons in story mode, no, what bugs me the most is how the changed the entire structure of the game. The checkpoint system is just stupid, you have to crouch and hide all the time, disguises are rendered useless (do all Chicago cops know each other that well, really?) and there isn't the same freedom of choice and free-roaming as in the previous games. Running and hiding all the time isn't what Hitman is supposed to be. Hitman is not AC or SC.

The story is bland and the characters are all goddamn morons. I mean, is Dexter Blake really the criminal mastermind that was supposed to challenge 47 like never before? The guy is just a violent redneck. Looking at all the businesses and estates he owned, that guy must've been worth millions if not a billion dollars, and yet he gets over-excited over 10 million dollars? That was his master plan? Lol... Wade, Birdie and Lenny are retarded idiots, Sanchez looks like a comic book character and Travis, the guy who's a member of a powerful clandestine agency, acts like a disoriented drunkard...

How did they mess it up so badly? Damn...

people love to self-diagnos themselves with depression, but tbh, it simply sounds like you have blue day once in a while--like everyone else. depression is chronic and intense, sometimes lasting years or one's lifetime.

What is this strange fascination people have with crime? I'm fascinated by them too... I don't really respect any criminal that murdered or tortured anyone (mobsters, gangbangers, bank robbers etc) but i personally am fascinated by thieves who had carried out well planned heists, without using a gun or hurting/killing anyone... and getting away with millions of dollars. I've also seen almost every Hollywood heist movie there is, and i'm not the only one. Heist movies often become blockbusters and the second greatest movie of all times (after Citizen Kane) portrays a romanticized picture of a group of Italian criminals. Then you have Goodfellas also as one of the greatest of all time, Heat, Scarface and so on.

Movies aside, what about real life criminals like Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, John Gotti, John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clydeand many others who have become icons, legends?

The media and the people are obsessed with criminals. It's a worldwide phenomena, and i wonder what is the cause of it? Is it because of the power to do (almost) what they want? The money? Their lifestyle?

And yet another "peaceful" protest by these radicals...

They threw rocks towards the police. A police officer and two journalists were hurt in the incidents.Several windows were also broken.

Albanian and jihadist flags.

They constantly chanted "death to infidels"

This is the flag of the Taliban i think.

A video of the protest.
