Hello guys
The Seven Deadly Sins DLC looks like an interesting new concept to implement in this final game.
7 themes, sprayed all over the all different maps from the trilogy, giving special mission and rewards using one of the Sins themes
However while it seems like a good idea on the paper, the execution in reality seems less appealing than the idea.
Looking at the first DLC âGreedâ it seems that those DLC are only bringing a pack of escalations and cosmetics (despite remaking some parts of the levels with some quality content) at a high price.
People expected way much better than that as a DLC, especially after purchasing the Deluxe edition who was supposed to give the whole content of the game for itâs big price, but that wasnât the case.
So to add my two cents on that topic, making side DLCs after the Deluxe Edition is already a risky challenge, (as people are not willing to spend more and more money on game and prefer âSeason Passâ contents), but offering in them that kind of small (and sometimes limited) content isnât enough to justify putting more money on it
There are so much ideas to bring in that DLC pack that could be way more interesting and appealing that some few more escalations and coins like:
-
a pack of Bonus Missions ala Patient Zero, offering a series of different missions through the Sins pack, with each having itâs own atmosphere and mechanics
-
a series of spooky challenges through all the maps, implying using the Sins themes to complete certain objectives, being different to each level
-
another pack of âLegacyâ Items and Clothing, in mixing of Legacy contracts bringing back NPCs from previous Hitman Games (Mei Ling, the Fuchs Brothers, Andrei PuscusâŠ)
-
a series of special Contracts/Assignments following the Sins themes (7 packs/7 different things)
-
a new pack of maps like Haven Island or The Bank in HITMAN 2 (at appropriate cost)
I understand that theyâve sent almost all their people into working to the next 007 game. But in think that HITMAN III deserves a better treatment and attention, as it is the final chapter in this trilogy and DESERVES to be polished and finished like needed
