@@leviathanfilms4035 don’t get me wrong hitman is an amazing game but now that i have played more hitman games i realise it wasn’t really a good hitman game. but it is a good game. just not hitman
Really? Personally, I HATED Silent Assassin. Couldn't even finish it. For me, it's the worst game in the series...of the ones that I've played, at least. Maybe it was great for it's time, but I don't think it has aged very well at all. I would go as far as to say it's a bad game...when put up and compared to the sequels that followed.
I remember playing Blood Money back in 2008. For me, 2, contracts, and blood Money are the best. I'm glad to see these new games are introducing people to the Hitman games I grew up with.
@@SlasherIncorporated It definitely takes some getting used to, but I personally think it's aged quite well. The mechanics and structure of the game are quite impressive, especially for the time.
@@SlasherIncorporated Ngl I played it for the first time yesterday and it 100% still stands up there’s some strange stuff in it but apart from that I’m really enjoying it
10:08 literally every Hitman fan back in the days "what did I do?" Great video, I agree with pretty much everything here. I'd just put Blood Money higher because of how phenomenal and massive that game was when it came out. Great work and keep it going, Cody!
I couldn't agree more 18:49 - 19:04. Even tho Blood Money is my favorite from the series, it just can't compete with those Hitman 2 maps. (Have not played Hitman: Go, Codename 47, or part 3 yet.) Blood Money Hitman 2 (2018) Hitman (2016) Hitman Contracts Hitman 2 Silent Assassin Hitman Absolution Hitman Sniper Challenge
I duno If I can get behind games that require you to be online man. What happened to the days were you put a game in, played it until completion with a little memory card, then swapped it. Simpler times were better.
One of the things I love the most about this franchise,and maybe totally gameplay unrelated but, Ave Maria, for 33 years it didnt matter where I heard that piece, it was just that, but now, I can die and know that Ave Maria was meant to be the hitman tune. For my brother it has a religious deepness, for me, it means time to SASO. Beautiful, maybe late but im so glad I fell in love with this franchise last year, its so much part of me now, thank you Diana, and thank you 47. Btw, I was first and most of all, a fan of Batman, he is my all time favorite fictional character, but sir you don't go and snatch the Ave Maria for The Batman, that shits Hitman's. Though Moving In For The Gil by M. Giacchino makes me think otherwise 🤔
Yeah that's definitely an "action" feature which I enjoyed in that game but understand why traditional Hitman games have no use for it. Similar to the Mark & Execute feature in Splinter Cell Conviction
Even today one of the most played albums on my phone is the Hitman: Contracts soundtrack, it's the perfect music for just walking down the street, used to pick someone who was walking the same direction as me and in front of me and just casually pretend I was stalking them for a kill lmao
I need to finish Hitman 3 and play the 2nd one but good God that Dubai mission is HItman 3 is one of the most gorgeous levels I've seen in a game ever!
I haven't played all the Hitman games, so I can't really do a ranking. But of the ones that I have played, (which includes Silent Assassin, Contracts, Blood Money, and Absolution) Blood Money is my favorite. It was the first Hitman game I touched, and I agree with everything you said about it. Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is easily the worst for me. I did NOT enjoy that game at all. So much so, that I couldn't bring myself to finish it. I quit about 8 missions in. I felt it was unnecessarily hard due to how hostile the maps were, the fact that disguises never seemed to work and felt pointless, the effects of the chloroform lasting a laughably-short amount of time, and the fact that you couldn't dispose of bodies. I don't know, it just felt broken to me. Very flawed design that was vastly improved with the sequels. Kudos to anyone that actually got through it, but I thought it sucked.
My Top 5 Favorite Video Game Franchises 1. Resident Evil 2. Dead Space 3. Spider-Man 4. Uncharted 5. Hitman Honorable Mentions Batman Arkham Star Wars The Force Unleashed
Miami is the racetrack map. Sapienza is the 2nd map from Hitman 2016 with the virus lab and whatnot. You said someone below would tell you, so I felt invited! 🤣 It's a toss up between Hitman 1 and 2 for me. I can't tell you how much time I have spent on some of those Hitman 1 maps. Countless hours.
I know maybe this is too much to ask but.... Top 10 hitman levels? Maybe 20??? Loving the hitman videos from you. Hitman is kind of a slasher simulator if you want it to be
Omg I thought I was the only one who thought so too, at least one of my runs in everymap tends to be a slasher flick scenario, last one was in H3 Berlin, I Torso'd (1973) that shit so hard👌
@@tacofingerz7247 blood money is great 👌 but the new trilogy is arguably the best in the series too. New free level just released but I haven't tried it
@@stephenthedude4383 Yup thats what I heard too. I tried the new map although ive been stuck playing the hitman 2 expansions, I pretry much got 20 on NY in one day lol, such a good map, and last night just started exploring Haven, dont get me wrong I did like Ambrose but not that much, not a big fan of jungly maps, at least not in hitman, maybe thats why I havent played santa fortuna that much either 🤔 and by looking at the mastery at every level I could say H2016 is my favorite with H3 on 2nd, I do love hitman 2 but its the entry ive played the least

Hey cody! I seen you said the final mission was the cult mission on hitman 2, do you know that they added 2 more missions after that mission before the release of hitman 3? There is a bank mission and like some bora bora Island mission! Just thought I'd put that out there! Great video
Hey Cody this isn’t about Hitman but I’m looking to play the newest God Of War game soon just asking if I should play the others to get a grasp on the what God of War is about or is the new one kinda it’s own thing? I haven’t played any God Of War games so I don’t really know much about it.
If you can play the original trilogy play those first. You wont be completely lost playing the new one but there wont be as much weight to things that happen and you wont appreciate the game near as much.
Also I think Hitman 2 Silent Assassin had hands down the best soundtrack of any of the games my favorite mission is when you gotta break into that loft at night in the rain and kill that dude that has those 3 chicks with him in the hot tub that are like trained agents. I just remember messing up and just getting wasted by them lol or the one where you gotta break into this facility to kill this computer tech kid thats in the basement but he has bags of chips everywhere so if you step on them enough it alerts him. Lol
This has been a really great, somewhat underrated gaming franchise. They even made 2 movies out of these games. Not great movies but theres definitely been alot of love for this gaming franchise
Great video as always Cody, absolutely loving the gaming content! Happy to hear 3 is just as good as 1 and 2. I can't wait to check it out once I get a PS5
The new trilogy just does everything better. Every mechanic and aspect of the games have been improved. I loved SA, Contracts, and Blood Money but they pale in comparison to the new ones
Absolutely. Hitman 3 I beat earlier this year and it was great. It’s on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Hitman 2 is great as well and on PS4 and Xbox One
brooo, cody. I really could not care less about the ranking of Hitman games. I’ve played it like once, but you make shit so interesting and entertaining. so guess what? of course i’m going to watch it! keep killing it bro 🤟🏼
Jesper Kyd's score just makes the original Hitman games. Nothing like it. Even with the superior graphics and gameplay in the new games, the score can't match the feel of the original games.
After the IGN review of the latest game I thought to myself I wonder what the best ones have been because this game franchise has always caught my eye I just never owned or played any of them. I was going to look up a ranking list of it and didn't get to it. Now I see this in my recommendations and it's from Cody Leach I was like perfect! I think it's a sign I gotta play these once and for all. Thanks bro!
Loved these games growing up when I used to game. Be interesting to see how you’d rank the movies and also a ranking of mgs series would be cool one day too! That was my favourite game series back in the day
So many memories from blood money to absolution and now the reboot world assassin series has probably been the best clean cut and polished version, however not the most fun
For me, it is Blood Money > Contracts > 2: SA. I really wish AI in SA wasn't so bad. Btw. Have you played Thief Trilogy? Those are some of the best stealth games out there.
my opinion 9) Hitman Go 8) Codename 47 7) Contracts 6) Blood Money 5) Hitman 2 (2018) 4) Silent assassin 3) Hitman (2016) 2) Absolution 1) Hitman 3 (2020) absolution was my favourite, but hitman 3 blew me away. i’m probably the odd one out here lmao
Took me and my cousin nearly a year to complete Hitman: Silent Assassin 2 on the PS2 on full silent assassin ranking in every level, doesn't sound impressive right? This was before we realised you could save the game
I bought and beat resident evil 7 last week off your recommendation, well what can I say it is the shit, absolutely fantastic. Dont know why I didnt get it earlier.
I love the hitman games but fell off after playing some of the first part of the new series. It was good just didn't catch me. This video has inspired me to finally redownload the first and try again.
Great ranking and are you still doing the 31 on 31st where you rank Quention Taratino, David Fincher, and Christopher Nolan movies on the 31st just curious
Great Review as always bro. I've never played them. I'm gonna get em now that you got me hip to it. I also just got The Last of us. I know all the spoilers but after you and your boys review of 2. I watched the game on RU-vid. Lol.
Hitman 2 is one of my least favourite, it was hard for me and like you said, the suspision meter was annoying as hell and also the crouching was very slow in the game, really didnt like that either
You really should try to get a refund for those old Hitman missions you had to rebuy for part 3. If you owned them your supposed to have access to those access passes for free. Its a problem that IO interactive hasn't done that good of a job with, but after a few days I fin got access to my old missions.
15:09 you poor man. Nooooooooo. You didn't have to buy them again! I installed hitman 1 and 2 again and I got the upgrade free! I feel sorry for you man.
@@CodyLeachYT I’m relatively patient I’m a modern day gamer and I was able to complete MGS2 and 4 in the summer but I could not complete 3 because of the end I am sure he’s a great boss but the mechanics had not aged well for that boss fight in my opinion
