Cravinovv Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I really wish they'd stop using PS Plus as a dumping ground for dying games like Predator: Hunting Grounds. Not interested in the slightest with the other two offerings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johambubger Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I really dislike this trend of shitty, dying multiplayer games taking up a slot on the monthly games. I understand it's because the studios want to have one last chance to sell some micro-transactions, or dlc before shutting off the servers for good, but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great month for me I played Hitman Absolution in 2013, to me, every release of this "episodic" run of Hitman, looks like there has been zero improvement over that, and in fact, a downgrade in storytelling, where Absolution had a bad story, at least it tried to have one, these new ones don't even try, and they reuse the same stiff last gen animations, when I think of a premium PS5 service, PS+, episodic Hitman games with 2013 PS3 animations is not what comes to my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution is the series Nadir. It wasn’t awful, but it also wasn’t great. The recent trilogy is not only the best any Hitman game has ever been (I’ve played them all), but they are some of the best games of the entire console generation. These ones are no more ‘episodic’ than any previous Hitman game was - in that they are level based. How the first game was released five years ago (it was the only one released episodically) has zero relevance to how the games played then, or play now.

Okay dude - you carry on missing out on some of the best games available on the console, based on your faulty info and incorrect assumptions… …I’ll continue over here enjoying the best of the best based on… y’know… having actually played the games I’m talking about ?

I never used to be a stealth game fan....so the only Hitman game I ever played was Absolution when we got it on PS+ for PS3 years ago...and personally, I hated that game, it was one of the first games I Platted, but had no fun doing so. So when we got the first Hitman of this trilogy on PS+ I didn't even bat an eye at it. But in needing some new games for PS5, I decided to give the series another chance with buying Hitman 3...then in noticing the convolution of how the trophies work in these games, I decided to buy Hitman 2 and import Hitman 1 into it and go about it that way. And let me tell you...one of the best gaming decisions I decided to make. Get Absolution out of your head because Hitman 2 is LEAGUES better than that game ever was. I don't know where you're seeing stiff PS3 animations because these Hitman games are about a fluid as they come, it's more about your timing on things. The absolutely meticulous attention to detail in these current games is staggering. There's literally hundreds of ways to go about things in each level...from shooting up the place, to dirty kills, to being so clean and clever that you even impress yourself. Also the current games very much have a story...you have a cutscene or two inbetween each level and it plays out like a blockbuster espionage movie. Then what you're doing in each level lends to the story going forward. Edited September 2, 2021 by Viper 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1NJ4_V4MP1R3 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Wow I can’t believe Sony didn’t cater to my personal needs and offer a selection of games I am interested in playing but not so much that I would spend money on… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exeshow678 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 meh...ok month, not really into Hitman & Predator and can't play Overcooked! but for me..the last good month was February, sure every month has had 1 good game, but for me, both of February's games were great (in my dearest, humble opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselmanchild Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Not a terrible month but not a great one either. I’d love to take a crack at Overcooked: All You Can Eat but of course that ends up being the PS5 offering this month so it looks like it’s going to be another month of slogging through the backlog instead.

Alternatewarning Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I'm glad for Hitman 2. I love to play the Hitman games (on my other account) since I find them a whole lot of fun. I only had 1 so it's nice to have both now. Also grabbed Overcooked even if I don't have a PS5 yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
