Picked mine up yesterday

Had to convince Her that I needed to spend $1.50 to get a game I kinda liked, in order to get the $10 game that had been on my wishlist for months

It didn't help that I got last months Humble Monthly pack, wherein I gave her the same story for 3 of the games that it came with... I think she didn't believe me...

Yeah, I saw that! It's in celebration of Io breaking free from Square Enix to be independent, and keeping the Hitman rights, which never should have even come into question.

I see why they would do this but this don't mean it's going back to it's roots of Hitman and what it what it used to be. Although i do not believe they can screw this up so i hope they do pull it off.

NOPE. All you get is a "free" demo. So something that is free anyway.
It's just a misleading advertisment. Nothing new, and makes me avoid the company in the future.

It's the tutorial 1st chapter, so yeah, it IS new for people that didn't buy this last iteration of Hitman. If you will recall, it was sold in chapters. This was part of the first chapter that was sold.

I don't know why this nice gesture, which was not free before, should upset you. Io Interactive wanted control again of THEIR intellectual property, which Square Enix nearly destroyed.

My issue is that you don't get what they advertise so pompously… Play the beginning for free. Which would indicate you get to play Hitman: Episode 1 – Paris. What you actually get is just a training/tutorial. Which in nothing more than a bait-and-switch tactic.

I’m not complaining that they're giving away something for “free”. What I'm complaining about is that they should be more honest and say that they're giving you a "FREE DEMO". So in reality they are not giving you anything for free, that wasn’t already free, just a clickbait to purchase the complete game.

rtwjunkie · Jun 21, 2017

"Pompously", LOL. First time I have heard of the little guy escaping the big guy being called pompous.

Of course it is the tutorial at the training facility, but it also involves everything involved with it, including achievements, player added content, etc being given away for free, all carrying over to main game if you buy. It's two hours of playtime that was NOT free before.

pigulici · Jun 21, 2017

Yep, it is o not a free game, but a free tutorial for the game...

They never said it was a free game. They are telling you the first location is free. And that first location always was the training facility. Prior to June 20th it was not free.

Honestly, people are so jaded now. Something is free, and the complaints roll in. I'm thinking a lot of people have not bought it. So this is a great way to introduce them to the game and hope they buy.

5DVX0130 · Jun 21, 2017

I own the whole first season. I like it very much, as do I like the whole Hitman franchise.

With “that wasn’t already free" I meant demos. Demos are and have always been free. So making a whole ceremony out of it, is nothing more than a shady marketing tactic. That said, it wouldn’t have cost them anything to actually give out the first chapter for free. Make it a limited time offer, and just adjust the discount to recuperate the difference, and everyone is happy.

Also, tutorials to me and a lot of people, don’t represent a game. It’s something you have to do, or you skip as soon as possible.
