Current Events > Hitman 2 is $18 on Steam for less than 2 more hours

(+) Yeah! (+)

That's for the Standard Edition. Gold Edition (includes 2 full maps plus some remixed missions, sniper missions, and costumes) will run you $30, and in either case, you're still going to want all the content from Season 1, which is the GOTY Legacy Pack, which is $6. Note that this is NOT the GOTY Legacy Pack Upgrade, which is just the DLC from 1 in case you already own 1; in case you do, it's $3). I fucking hate the pricing schemes, but all of the content is EASILY worth full price, so I can't complain.

(copied from an earlier post for better visibility)

I'll try to make this simple because I don't want anyone to miss out on this amazing game.

If you're all in on the game:

Don't have Hitman 1? Buy Hitman 2 Gold Edition and the GOTY Legacy Pack ($36)
Have Hitman 1 but not the DLC? Buy Hitman 2 Gold Edition and the GOTY Legacy Upgrade Pack ($33)
Have Hitman 1 and the DLC? Buy Hitman 2 Gold Edition ($30)

If you're not too sure on the DLC:

Don't have Hitman 1? Buy Hitman 2 Standard Edition and the GOTY Legacy Pack ($24)
Have Hitman 1 but not the DLC? Buy Hitman 2 Standard Edition and the GOTY Legacy Upgrade Pack ($21)
Have Hitman 1 and the DLC? Buy Hitman 2 Standard Edition ($18)

I know it might be weird for me to recommend Hitman 1's content so hard, but it's more content for a third of the price. Plus, the story won't make sense if you jump into 2 without playing 1.

Unfortunately, progress is NOT transferred between 1 and 2 (although you will be able to transfer progress between 2 and 3), but Hitman 2 has many quality of life changes that make 1 hard to go back to.

For the record,
Hitman 1 contains 6 full levels and 2 tutorials.
Hitman 1's DLC consists of some costumes and 4 remixed levels that are, in my opinion, worth the price of admission.
Hitman 2 contains 5 full levels and 1 tutorial, although it's much closer to a proper level than the ones in 1, along with 1 sniper map.
Hitman 2's DLC contains 2 full levels, 2 sniper maps, 4 remixed levels, and a bunch of costumes. I haven't played these remix levels, but I assume it would be on par with 1's.

The quality of the full levels generally increases from 1 to 2, and I would say 2's DLC levels are on average better than 2's levels on average.

It is, and I really fucking hope Hitman 3 (which will carry over all content and progress from Hitman 2) just gives us one game we can buy in full.

Hitman 2 is my favorite game this gen; it is worth it at any price.

The Hitman 1 maps are also really fun. I just replayed them in Hitman 2 and I'm about to move on to the actual Hitman 2 maps.

Bum bum bum!

Well the legacy pack also includes the dlc and a handful of extra costumes from the definitive experience. If the goty/ definitive experience is the one you had... unlucky lol.

I think steam is bugging out a bit (for me at least), still listing sale prices on games but with no timer ticking down

okay it fixed itself on the store pages like a minute after posting this lol

At least I can say I tried
