Been playing it yesterday, and I got to say, it kicks ass. Now to get more time to play it this week...

That title brings high hopes for Hitman: Absolution. If Square Enix makes sure that the game will be published on PC that way this game is, and will make sure, that new Hitman is same quality as Sleeping Dogs, then I won't be afraid to make new Hitman day 1 purchase.
Now... if they could bring a decent FInal Fantasy again, as the last one was a bit meh
Hell, it would take a LOT for me to NOT have that new Hitman game on day one. After six years?
But you're right: This release certainly would imply good tidings overall.

Has anyone figured out how to eleminate or reduce the mouse lag?
has anyone posted any screenshots with all or most eye candy enabled?
thanks...no 1 particular thing really stands out graphics wise as being amazing but it seems to meld together overall...the weather effects on the environment do look really good though while the character animations don't look all that great...but I guess if you stand around and take static screenshots the flaws will stand out more but maybe in motion things look more impressive
plus the gameplay seems to be the star with this game

I've a few questions, for those who can answer, since so many seem to have high praise:
How much gunplay is actually in the game and how is it in general?
Since it seems like predominantly melee, is it any less enjoyable without more gunplay?
Does it ever getting tiresome to keep running into the same "fight five guys" situation (which I see a lot of; almost too predictable)?
How much is there to actually do in the city/game world?
I've watched some vids and seem some in-game "minigames", almost reminding me of GTA IV, but since you're not a criminal, are there are similar side quests... just on the other side of the law?
Such as, instead of stealing cars, to retrieve stolen cars etc?
I think you get where I'm going. Would love to hear some feedback regarding these things, thanks.
Melee combat in this game is 20x better then any GTA or similar game, if you played Batman : AA/AC you will enjoy it.
Gunplay is not as big a thing in this game, you can't actually keep guns or anything, they are more so a side-weapon you will pick up/find (the higher level cop ability allows you to get guns from the trunk of any police car) otherwise you'll have to get guns from your enemies or find them laying around for certain missions.
The gunplay itself is fun, it's much more offensive gunplay oriented, jumping over cover gives you slow mo to aim and take out enemies. There's also missions throughout the game where you ride shotgun and have to use firearms to take out vehicles, it's fun to blow out tires and send cars/people flying off motorcycles and cars flipping over.
As far as side stuff goes, most of the side stuff (Drug busts for cops, stealing cars and things for triads) gets a bit repetitive, it's mainly filler stuff to do to rack up points/for achivements. The side stuff is probably the weakest part of the game, it's not in-depth side missions, one drug bust is pretty much the exact same as the other, you go there, kill some dudes, hack the camera, go back to your apartment and watch the camera and highlight the "leader" for the cops to arrest, it gets old quite quickly.
Throughout the game you will do both cop oriented story missions (IE helping take down a criminal, finding a serial killer, etc) and your triad type story missions, basically woven together throughout the game. That's where the game shines and where I find the most fun.
Thanks for the quick feedback.
Am a little confused regarding all the "extra stuff" to do in-game that people keep referring to, though. Sounds like it could be fun, but you've stated it can get a bit repetitive.
Are there other things to do as well?
Sounds like people are having a blast with the main game, but also all the "side/extra stuff", though I'm not sure to what people are really referring. Especially since it's being touted as so "open world" with "a lot to do".
Maybe it's just that those things people are finding to be a lot of fun due to how the gameplay works/feels?
Sounds great over all, but I just want to be clear on "all the stuff" you can do in-game.
The melee and animations (and general visuals) definitely look impressive.
Well for me the side stuff isn't that fun, mainly because I'm not the type of person that loves chasing achievements and things.
There are a lot of things to collect (health shrines that give you more health as you find them, lockboxes which give you money and some give clothing items, jade statues which unlock new melee combat moves) apart from those side missions I talk about.
There are also "yellow" side missions which are more fun/different then the drug busts and races (those are the two main "side" things to do, racing or drug busts).
There's also the Karaoke singing, hacking cameras (which you have to do for the drug busts, but some aren't connected to that).
cool, there's a demo available through Steam...try before buy!
We're currently looking at a number of issues that have been expressed through the forums. None of these are guaranteed to be fixed to everyone's standards obviously, but we are looking at tweaking some of the more pressing issues that you guys are having (mouse controls, camera, UI, crashes, etc). I can't foresee an update coming before early next week (and they may even come in a number of smaller patches in order to get fixes out quicker).
Once again, nothing is set in stone as the individual developers have to weigh the impact on other systems any time they make changes, but we'll do our best to get this out quickly and to people's satisfaction. Thanks again for your patience.

I like everything about the game, except when I got to the first hacking mission yesterday, I wanted to throw my laptop out the window. It's so infuriatingly bad and annoying. I don't want to guess 4 numbers...I want to play some mini-game like in Deus-Ex.
Its actually insanely simple.
start out with 0 1 2 3
you'll find at least one of those numbers,
then add a 4 or 5
then add 6 or 7 etc.
Well that's what I do pretty much, it just feels like a forced part of the game, and I don't care for it at all. I'd rather, honestly, have it just be automated. Plug in phone, auto-hack, go back to crib and find the supplier. Why do I need to guess numbers, this is 2012, technology should think for me.

Played the demo last night. I'm pretty disappointed with it, actually. I know it's just a demo, but I don't get that open-world feeling like in GTA IV. It seems like an on-rails game akin to Call of Duty and that ilk.
Also, the Eyefinity support is pretty piss-poor. I get all claustrophobic with the POV.
The controls are pretty horrible for mouse and keyboard. It's like the Batman games gone wrong.
Again, this is just the demo...I had such high hopes...am I all wrong or is this how the retail version is?
The high-resolution texture pack updates the game to a new level, bringing eye-watering detail and crisp clear rendering to everything from city skyscrapers to ancient temples.
You need 1Gb or more graphics memory in order to use the High resolution Texture Pack. Please make sure your system requirements exceed the recommended specs before attempting to install.
When installed, the High Resolution Texture Pack is an option in the games graphics settings. Please configure it after installing the Pack.
Got the full version game, in the full version you can download a free high resolution Texture Pack DLC, I recommend everyone download this if you have the full game, has much improved texture quality, and it's free.

Is this kind of like GTA but a bit more on rails or is it better with more stuff to do other than randomly killing people and driving around
I'm gonna try the demo, but wanna get some opinions here too since it seems the demo is still from the crappy build.

The rails come off for good after the early part of the game. They have some rails on you on purpose to get your feet wet.
Absolutely mandatory for sure.
