Hitman Absolution - Disguise system broken?

Thank goodness I didn't get this game?

Without a doubt, Absolution is the worst Hitman game ever made.

absolution has awesome campaign, but i dont like how bodies are moving when you drag them... like fucking paper or smth. and yeah disguise system is really strange

You're obviously incompetent. When I lurk in the bushes, I'm not just dressed like a bush, I'm thinking like a bush, I'm one with the bush. If I'm just dressed like a bush and thinking like a man, my target would have identified me, put in a call to 911 and the cops would be on me like white on rice. Clearly, you're doing something wrong.

It seems there is some kind of fix/trainer that reduces the range of enemies discovering you in disguises. Supposed to make the game better. Haven't tried it myself.

The disguise system is indeed terrible, but if it makes you feel any better, I heard IO plan to tweak it and hopefully make it better.

Was my thought as well, seeing a friend play it. And he's playing on normal I think, not the kind of guy to turn up the difficulty anyway. I'm not happy about it, the reason I loved the Hitman series so far has been because of the new approach to stealth with those disguises. This ain't Hitman any more, this is Human Revolution. Which is not bad at all, but if I want to play Deus Ex then I'll go and fucking play Deus Ex goddammit.

Disguise system was implemented badly. BUT, it also made game much harder. In earlier games, most levels had 2 main points - find secluded guard to get his disguise, and after that safely move around everywhere to kill your target (which could require another steps, but thanks to disguises it usually was easy, and only required finding the right way - and disguises allowed it easily, since noone bothered you).

Disguises gives second or two before enemies start to swarm over you. Not much, but sometimes enough to hide behind some cover (which only shows stupid AI, but no sneak game have clever AI, I guess).

I guess biggest problem with disguises is that most levels have one disguise. There are few where there's more then one disguise, and that's where this system can be really used. Like, for example, Dexter's factory, where you can be a scientist or guard, and you can disguise yourself differently for every room, since scientists can't recognize guards and vice versa.

I was thinking of getting this game but bad reviews ehh.. is it really that bad?

It needs a little tweaking, but overall I'm happy with the disguise system, and really enjoy the new game.

The disguises are a little wonky sometimes, but I'm doing my first playthrough on Normal and the enemies don't seem to see through the disguises too much. I don't have much of an issue with the disguise system so far. If I'm dressed as a cop I would kinda expect other cops to be a little suspicious if some new guy was suddenly walking around. Perhaps it makes it a little harder than the older games but I'm ok with that. In any case it's still a fantastic game so if they need to patch the disguise system at some point then so be it.

Or you can just "black suit red tie" it through the levels like a boss if you don't like the disguises.

Absolution disguise system isn't perfectly reasonable, neither it was in previous games (we didnt have any bald waiter with a code bar on the ack on his neck like 1 hourse ago, but i guess it's ok, probably a new one - nothing suspicious)

Whole game is pretty much broken. This isn't Hitman

This is because the AI is smarter, they know who their co-workers are. Also, just go Suit-Only like professionals do. I finished the game on purist and thought it was fine.

I do agree with the rain bit though, those cops do have super vision!

The system isnt broken at all, its fine and working as intended. On the other hand the time to react and the time they need to to see through is way too short, esp on higher difficult. They just need to fix/adjust things a little bit imo.

I haven't played the game yet, i'm basing my opinion on several videos of missions i've watched.

It seems like even on normal difficulty, the speed in which you get seen through the disguise is pretty much an excuse to use the "Instinct" (a bullshit ability if you ask me), and while i would understand a fast detection rate in some instances (if the game were to be as nitpick), most of the time i've ended up wondering myself how the hell did he get discovered so fast. (Remember Hitman 1 and 2 for example, they would get far more suspicious if they found a body which had the suit you're wearing)

Another thing i really didn't like was the point system; the previous games aimed at a "realistic" way of approving what you did or not, Blood Money was the greatest example with the news report; having a numeric score just takes away that immersion (one of the reasons why if i were to play the game, i'd pick the highest difficulty)

I have played through the first 3 levels on Purist, and it is fine. Don't know where you're getting those disguise problems from. I stopped playing on Purist right now, as I want to complete the challenges 100% in order to get the best scores possible. Other than that, I loved the story, loved the stealthy gameplay, and will be getting the Hitman Collection this Winter Sale.

Its really ridiculous! In that libary level are like 50 Cops and its dark and they see me at a 50m distance. Teh FUCK!

I haven't played it but I heard the only way it works is when you are hiding your face.
