I love Hitman but damn the fucking interface.

      hitman offline mode is a heavily neutered version of the original. no freelancer mode, no unlocks and no stats tracking among others. Hitman is really fun when played as a pick-up and play arcade game and that's basically what online mode gives.

      You get an inferior game because you couldn't maintain a connection to a server, because this isn't a one time check, if you lose connection even DURING a level, the game will kneecap itself until you reconnect and stop.

        Oh really?! Oh well, now I know ahah, seems like I can play the game again but with Peacock like someone else mentioned! Honestly, the very limited offline mode worked out fine for me as I didn't know lol

          offline mode is basically just the vanilla Hitman story mode, I also played through most of the game in offline mode before I got peacock working. It's just incredible to me that 1/2 of the single-player game is locked behind a always-online wall.

      I guess I'm being weird about XP and progression.
