Man... feel terrible for the fans who went there! Heard that some of the tickets were sold at obnoxious prices!

Yep... game over for us.

Rohit also knew that Gill had gone early so could have toned down a bit and established a partnership with Kohli... but no. Had to hit like a mad man and throw his wicket away cheaply. Now Kohli and KL have a lot to do. Also, I don't have any hope on Sky as he might clown again.

Just get a big score up there now and bat the Aussies out of the game!

Got the vintage Hitman Codename 47 Suit by completing all 5 Challenges in the "Codename 47 Challenges" pack which was recently added for the game in the latest update: Those who played the first Hitman game, Codename 47 which was released in the year 2000 will instantly recall this signature suit and character model! You can replay any mission in the game with this model for that nostalgic feel.

And so... it's finally happening!!!

Just saw some gameplay videos on Youtube and on 1080p I should be fine with the above hardware. I'll first pick up Alan Wake Remastered and complete that before I jump into this one though. Played the first game a decade ago and needless to stay I have forgotten most of it so revisiting it is a must.

Will I even be able to run and play this on a Ryzen 5600X and RX6600 GPU at 1080p?

Good to know someone else is also playing Hitman. Rest of the world is either clocking hours on Starfield or Cyberpunk. Be sure to play Hitman 2 and 3 as well. Beautifully made levels and tons of different ways to accomplish the objectives on each level so you'll be putting in a lot of thought into it. Be sure to do the Challenges (Assassination and Feats in particular) because once you start doing them the game truly opens up and shines.

@Ethan_Hunt: Mate, are you around here anymore? I just finished Hitman 3 finally. Did all the challenges, feats and made multiple videos of my gameplay. Spent more that 100+ hours on it! Enjoyed the game thoroughly. I now want to go back and replay Hitman 2 again and make some videos of it.

Site is still running slow. Why isn't this being looked into?

How much time are you guys spending hunting for resources to craft your weapons? The Crafting system in this game is deep!

Isn't Base Building completely optional in the game?

For the RF fans here... Enjoy!

Excellent review of the game and congratulations on completing the game!

I have been trying the sniper approach from the roof of the mansion in the Dartmoor level but facing an issue while trying to achieve a Silent Assassin rating. Whenever I snipe Alexa from the mansion’s roof the Undertaker always sees Alexa’s body in the grave and immediately the game triggers a "Body Found’ message which kills the SA rating. I have made a video of my play-through of this level on Master Difficulty and here is the link to it: From the above video of my game-play you can see I even took out the personal bodyguard of Alexa Carlisle beforehand because otherwise he also follows her to the graveyard. Negating him decreases the chance of Alexa’s body being found (but alas, the Undertaker spots the body each time anyways). I have noticed however that if the personal bodyguard is not taken out before Alexa visits the grave then sometimes after you take the sniper shot to eliminate Alexa when she stands near the open grave a “Bullet Impact Noticed” alert pops up. That particular alert can also more often than not pop up when you are shooting the bird nests on the trees in the graveyard from the roof. I don’t however think that alert ruins the SA Rating in anyway. I usually only shoot the nests when the Undertaker walks away from the open grave area. He can also notice the bullet impact in the trees. Before I take the shot to eliminate Alexa I first shoot the foreground area to distract the Undertaker. When he turns around I shoot Alexa. If you see closely the Undertaker actually runs away from the grave after I shoot Alexa but after a few minutes I think he walks back to that area and that’s when he looks into the grave and spots Alexa’s body. Currently, haven't been able to figure out a way to get Silent Assassin (SA) Rating in this Mansion Roof Sniper approach. I think this is a bug that prevents you from attaining the SA Rating. I have also asked this on the dedicated Hitman Forum online and awaiting replies.

Last 2-3 days the site is down to a crawl frankly. Opening a thread and navigating between topics is happening at a snail's pace.

Anyone else who is finding the characters and dialogues bland and soulless?

Been playing Hitman 3 for almost 3 weeks now and enjoying it a whole lot. The levels in Hitman 2 (2018) were IMO much better though. My favorite levels so far are Dartmoor and Chongqing (China). Dartmoor brought back some memories of the Beldingford Manor level from Hitman Contracts. It really is a well planned level and very stylishly decadent. The architectural layout of the Manor is so beautiful. Also, the family dynamics and stories in the level really add to the overall experience while exploring and playing through it. Chongqing China is another level I like (barring the last section where you have to hack the core) because that just feels tedious. Good thing that you only need to do that section in your first play-through of the level and then it's entirely optional in your next runs of the level. Since I like to do each level multiple times, experimenting different tactics and approaches. This level in certain parts also made me recollect the Chinatown levels from Contracts and Hitman: Codename 47 which I loved so much back in the day! The only level so far I did not quite like is the one in Berlin. I could get used to the open sandbox style the developers went for here but it's just the sheer number of targets ruins it for me. Luckily one can complete the mission with eliminating half the targets on the map! I'm yet to complete all the missions because I'm currently doing the Challenges and Feats for each level to reach Level 20 Mastery in every one of them. Doing all the Assassination Challenges in particular really opens up the game much more because you can then experiment and deviate from the set story pieces in each level. That's when the true Hitman-esque feel starts to come! I have been making some videos of my gameplay so thought of sharing them:

How complex is the base building in this game? I'm not a huge fan of building bases (didn't like it in FO as well). Is base building in Starfield purely optional or has to be done for plot progression? I would hate to get into the title only to be turned off by mandatory base building which would make me quit.

Incredible feats continue for Novak... he equals Margaret Court's record now of an all time 24 Major Titles! The LIST of the Major Titles Won by Djokovic over the years: The man is on a mission from GOD!

Looks like we are in for a long night ahead... it's currently raining there.

I'll have to start with Shadow of Chernobyl in that case. Should I play the vanilla version or try some mods?

For someone who has strangely enough not played any of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games I wonder if it's too late to get into the series now... should I take the plunge?

Anyone else here who is going to re-play Alan Wake (the original) before Alan Wake 2 is released? I'm thinking about revisiting it because it's been a really long time since I played and completed it.
