Rascalov Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Just started playing Silent Assassin on Professional. I barely managed to beat the first two missions. How are you supposed to kill the Don in Mission 1 and the General in Mission 2 w/o being detected? I've also completed Blood Money but that was way easier than this. Luckily you only need to get 5 Silent Assassins on Professional for the achievement but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSephiroth Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah same here, this is very difficult compared to blood money and absolution that are the only hitman games I have played For the Don on the first mission [spoiler=1] I climbed the ladder next to the swimming pool on the back yard to get to the balcony and into the room he is. Used barbed wire on him and the dragged him on the roof. Got Silent Assassin that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UberPirateNinja Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah, this game is kicking my arse right now. Waaaaay tougher than Absolution! So much hand holding going on in the new game compared to this! I played Absolution first, then Silent Assassin, the difference in how the game plays is astounding. But saying that, everytime I've messed up, it's always been my fault and I've gone straight back in and had another bash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneKane87 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I take it you guys never played this when it first came out? You've only played Blood Money or Absolution? SA was no walk in the park when I played it, I remember always getting caught or having to redo something because I died or screwed up. You can do it, just be careful.

cheevo360 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 In my opinion I loved original series it is great. Absolution is my favourite best Hitman series ever made. Not because new gameplay that never seen before for Hitman but story is great to follow, better control for Hitman game and Contracts mode is fun in it. Cannot wait for Hitman 6 so much. I knew it will happen one day as Asbolution is very well sales so surely Hitman Collection will boosting Square Enix sales then they will bring on Hitman 6 in near future. I agreed original series of Hitman is more challenge difficulty to complete when going for stealth silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rep Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 You need to have a lot of patience in the old Hitman games. If you're going for Silent Assassin ratings then you will need to study the map a lot. Find out where the guards patrol and shit like that. If you're new to them then I would recommend following some of the walkthroughs that are posted on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBuzz7S Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Welcome to "REAL" Hitman games Not just that, but 'REAL' games in general. A lot of video games these days are a walk in the park compared to a game of the same genre in the 90s and/or early 00s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyTheAlmighty Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I knew what I was getting into, as I played through these games multiple times back in the day. Still own all of my old copies. These games are all about patience and studying the enemies and maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rascalov Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 I've gotten 3 Silent Assassins so far and I'm up to Mission 8. I should be able to get the rest by the end I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 WTF is this!? Did the first mission on PRO and got a SILENT ASSASSIN RATING although the guy I knocked out woke up, raised the alarm & shot at me. Gotta luv this game!!! Just like old times.

neeker75 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I played this on the PS2 and I remember it was very difficult then. It took me a long time to get used to the "side-stepping", for one. I couldn't figure out how to sneak (bought a used copy, no instructions), and for a long time couldn't do anything without raising suspicions. Replaying this now, it's as hard as I know it'd be. There are shocks at every turn. People you've drugged earlier waking up is the most annoying thing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surreal_82 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 SA was always my favourite... Absolution and blood money always felt too easy even on hardest difficulties... This is classic 47... Hardcore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosmaniaK Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 before I played the HD collection myself I almost wanted to reply to this thread and say "you babies, I'm a Hitman master, lol!1" having played them day 1, back on the PC I must admit: these games are quite challenging indeed. it's hard to get back into. the AI doesn't work as you expect them to, sometimes can see through walls. people/targets walk around on a loop but sometimes another guy also unexpectly enters the loop and messes up my kill. walking and sneaking is slooooow, making it nearly impossible to fibre wire/knock out someone. for the first few levels in H2:SA my experience is save-load-load-load-load-load-save-load-load etc. and it's annnoying.

neeker75 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I'm doing professional on my first run on SA, so there's no way to save (unless the game throws you a save point midway into the session). I'm doing Hidden Valley now and I had to stop playing in case I get hospitalised for high blood pressure. Managed to get SA rating for every mission prior to this on Pro. Multiple (and I mean, multiple multiples) attempts each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surreal_82 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Ha ha yeah those few missions, hidden valley especially are evil as even when in full disguise, goggles and all some fool spots you from 40ft.... Stop gaijin... Lol Wtf... Unfortunately some of those levels were a bit buggy and semi psychic ai... Just persevere and you'll do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creasy47 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 SA and Contracts are much harder than BM and Absolution. I actually took an 8 month break from SA because I couldn't beat the final mission on Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You kids needed to be around for hitman silent assassin on the original xbox. that is when i played it originally. that is what makes this game so great as well as contracts. much tougher.

cjdavies Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 It was on sale for £3 so only now playing it, and happy I only played £3 for it! I'm only on the first mission and trying to use the fiber wire, it seems I'm too close and they are alerted, but when I go back a bit from before I'm too far away! The stealth mode is too slow, I'm falling asleep. That is it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
