The Metascore climbed a bit to 82% but this game still seems to have died pretty quickly lol. Where's the hype now? Anyone here plan to get it in the near future?

I think it'll bomb saleswise. If Max Payne 3 bombed with a 86% Meta I can't see Hitman at 82% sell much in a very crowded launch period.

There was no hype for this game, just me. Also, Max Payne didn't bomb. Lastly, this holiday is a lot less crowded than last holiday, yet last year saw plenty of small games was success: Dead Island, Deus Ex, Dark Souls, etc.

Hopefully it will drop a few points so I can increase my standing in the metascore prediction league!



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

really good game thus far, though I am having to start again as I forgot to save it yesterday (d'oh!)

got the PS3 version purely on the logic of most of my recent games were for my 360 lol

but yeah works a treat and love the gameplay/graphics
