Switching from PS4 to Xbox Scorpio as my main platform when that comes out (until I get a PC, but I have no clue when that'll happen). PSN is a bad service and zero of the PS4's exclusives have interested me; meanwhile I've been dying to play Halo, Gears, and Forza.

Microsoft's decision to start making Xbox games available on PC has me questioning the wisdom of even buying a Scorpio, but most of the people I play games with don't have PCs and aren't even mildly interested in them.

So glad they've added this feature. Now they need to let you assign specific weapons to the targets instead of the generic "Close Quarters Melee"

This level seems neat but I'm not a huge fan of how every room is locked behind a master key card. I also didn't find very many weapons or items of any kind while playing today. Lot of empty places. One of the wings of the hotel even has an entire top floor where there is only one guy standing around.

Jurassic Park III.

Too easy once again. The Prince is the only one I've done so far (missed the first two) that felt challenging, because they actually added a bunch of guards to his location that made it more difficult to get close. Why was I allowed to just walk around with them? Having zero restrictions on access to the target right from the start just makes the thing feel kinda pointless.

The fairy tale illusion land was pretty astonishing. The theme music and visual design were top notch, and it was neat seeing so many classic fairy tale characters from the real world being incorporated in creative ways. Crazy that this entire section of the game is missable (I assume you never see it if you choose the other option).

I'm generally very good at sniping in games like Call of Duty on console. I can't hit anything with Widowmaker on PS4.

The next Elusive Target is coming next Friday, July 15th. This has the potential to be the most interesting contract (partly because it's set on the best level, Sapienza). Description from the website:

The next Elusive Target is Dylan Narvaez, aka ‘The Twin’, who will be in Sapienza for 72 hours. His identical twin brother, Gonzales is also in Sapienza and must not be harmed in any way, or the contract will be cancelled. To complete this contract, you will need to choose your target with supreme care and come up with a plan to eliminate him without any collateral damage whatsoever to Gonzales.

The briefing videos for Elusive Target Contracts are of critical importance. Your contract handler, Diana, will give you specific information that will help you make sure to take down the right target. If you want to review the briefing at any time when the contract is live - even whilst you’re playing the contract itself, the HITMAN Companion is the ideal solution.

These last two have been way too easy. This one especially, since virtually nothing was changed about the parking garage or the people in it. The tunnel access was just as easy to get through. I haven't been trying to get Silent Assassin so I just went in with a soldier uniform, threw an explosive at the table of guys, and left.

Beauclair is absolutely gorgeous
