Hitman got a big patch, broke my play style FFS.
First of all none of my saves will load anymore, all lead to a hard crash while loading.
Worse, the de-escalation system seems completely broken now. Even though I'm not detected committing a 'crime' (knocking someone out to change disguises) they somehow notice it anyway and then escalate to hunted mode while I'm already long gone and changed disguises again. They literally come running along the entire path I followed (I circled around to observe them) and keep going until they run into me. Never de-escalating, relentlessly pursuing in some omnicognizant mode.
Then when I get rid of the pursuer, it plays out all over again. Crime noticed -> searching -> hunted. While before the patch 'crimes' would reset, after searching the area they would de-escalate back to normal, clean up and guns left on the ground and get back into the normal routine.Â
It got very hectic last night since the other (initially undetected) crimes also keep getting noticed randomly later. So now where ever I go it escalates to hunted mode again. I have to change my play style to kill everyone :/
Fucking sucks. The game was great fun, relaxing playing with the systems and when something goes wrong, hide it out. Can't do that anymore, at least not on the map I started over after the patch broke my 3 hour save on that level.
And of course it's online, can't play on without patching, can't revert the patch.Â
I was going to buy the deluxe upgrade for 2 extra levels to play in but now I'm changing my mind. I'll give it another go again tonight but if it keeps playing out like last night then it will be time to abandon the game. From favorite to wtf did they screw up.
The patch did fix other stuff and you can now drag bodies at full speed which kinda breaks immersion after doing it carefully all this time and timing it so to knock them out close to hiding places. Feels silly now to drag them around at full speed. It also added more contracts, but that just on existing maps. To me that's not more content, re-using old content just changing the targets. Exploring the maps and trying out all the mechanics on each map is my play style, now denied.

That sucks. I tell yaz, we have to revolt and ask for patch rollback on singleplayer games. I've had two games this year that were the same situation, just another reason to wait a few months. I'll never play a game that requires a build again until patching is doen with. And on top of that I had to deal with KCD sucking near 200gigs of my Internet and I'm not even playing it, heard they broke that game too and they had 20gig hot fixes...20 gigs.
