I am an absolute die hard Hitman fan. I’ve played all of them. Replayed the whole series last year. Blood money was a better sandbox by far than the previous games. And it’s still a blast to go back and play just for the nostalgia and the vibes. But the people who insist today that it’s better than the World of Assassination trilogy are smoking crack. Not only that, but in some ways Blood Money was a big downgrade from the previous games. Hitman 3 in its current state today incorporates all the best things about Blood Money, the games that came before it, the game came after it, while cutting out the negatives.
Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?

This will be controversial but Hitman blood money.
I have put hundreds of hours into the Hitman trilogy, but no matter what I can’t get past the first guard of blood money, that is if I can get past the clunkynes to even get to him in the first place.
I would like to try it as I have heard a lot of good about it, big portion of the fan base think it is the best game ever, but no matter how many time I trow that god dame coin the guard refuses to move and I can’t progress and that combined with general age and clunkynes of the controls don’t make it an enjoyable experience to try.
In the trilogy and Absultion if I got stuck it was at least enjoyable trying to get around it, this is just frustrating.

That’s curious because I remember Blood Money feeling really good, especially if I compare it to my memories of the original (don’t bump the banners in front of the building - the physics cause my PC to seize up!).
I’ll have to check it out again so I can ruin my memories.
