Hitman:Refund

Apparently that should have been the title of the Episode 1 release of the new Hitman game.

It's bugged out and after an hour of dealing with it's bugginess, my son clicked refund. Better to wait until it's a complete game.
 
Thank you. You saved me the aggravation of trying this one out.

Did you get it going at all though? And if so what was it like when it was working?
 
The fps is horrible even with options turned down. This was on a R270X
There is this annoying 'Saving...' that is constantly running and also causing various hiccups.
You can only play it online, and if you get disconnected, the game kicks you out, and you have to start the whole level over again. Despite the constant 'Saving...'

Game mechanic wise, everything seemed to be okay. It's just not optimized or polished in any way. It feels like a debug build.
 
I have my FPS in the 60 - 90 range, I don't have problems with the Graphics. They wont win any prices but its ok.
My problem are the buggy \ bad UI design, its horrible to play on PC. I cannot understand why they design it that way. They mixed up console and PC.
If I want to play with KB\MS I only want this to work in the game. The mouse pointer cannot freely roam all over the screen, the functions do not always work, its a mess.

This is an Alpha for sure, the foundation of the game are 100 % broken. I love the old Hitman games, so I will see this on to the end, even if it turn up to be a train wreak.
 
They properly killed off this franchise I think with this episodic mess now topped off with crappy bugginess. I was unlikely to buy this. Now I'm utterly not getting it. Sad though as they used to be day one purchases for me one time.

Played the first mission / contract with the "broken" UI system. They need to work more on the stories, I'm afraid that they only will do contract of endless killing and that is not fun. We need a good story to immerse us into the game. They can still save this one, however it will require more work from IO to do so.

Also the Open world in Hitman is not open enough for the moment. I would like it to be more like GTA but with assassin contracts. Maybe it will come late lets see.
