I've also gotten into sneaking games, I used to hate them, but I'm almost done with Hitman 2. I've beaten Absolution but that's barely a hitman game. I must have learned patience since the last time I played because now I find the waiting kind of relaxing and peaceful, when I first played I was bored and frustrated. Now I like figuring the puzzles out, and don't enjoy using walkthroughs. Discovery is much of the fun. It's not discovery if I'm following a guide.
After Hitman 2 I'll play Contracts, and then finally finish Blood Money. I'll probably try and find a Hitman original to play if there's any out there for cheap that actually work. I don't know how to do emulation, I should probably learn. I used to be able to do it but I couldn't get it to work right and gave up. Idk how to do file editing or anything so I would have to learn. Why can't information be injected into my head why the fuck do I need to use focus and willpower? I have none. Just shove the information in.
There's a limit to everything, if the controls are too unintuitive the game becomes unplayable, and the fun is gone again
