![]() You can argue about whether you think the price is worth it, but “scummy” isn’t the right word for it. To say that the 7 Deady Sins DLC is “scummy” is not only inaccurate, it’s unfair to the developers who have created some good content here. The changes to the levels that the sins have taken place on show good attention to details and creativity on the part of the developers. There have been some interesting and unique items and some good suit alternatives. The unlocks that have been part of the DLC have generally been worth it too. They showed that even an escalation can be engaging and quality content. They showed that there are game mechanics that can really liven up the game and make for interesting challenges. They showed that escalations don’t have to just be doing the same thing on repeat. Yes, there are some who disagree and didn’t like them, but most of the people who bothered to comment seemed to enjoy them. I think for the people that played them, the 7 Deadly Sins content has been pretty well received overall. In your case I will advise to wait for a GOTY edition or to just pass by them. I was at first disapointed in the lack of other new content, but since the Dartmoor Summer Garden Show I’m in wait and see.Īs for sale, Marketing will gladly tell you that 7DS pack is one seventh cheaper than individual buy… Otherwise I think the cosmetic packs of Hitman 2 were sometimes in sales. (honestly both are still most of the discourse under the trailers on youtube)Īnd if the relative price is akin to the Rp, the absolute one can be too much.īut if I look at 7DS in isolation, as a true cosmetic bonus ? Well, I have 800 hours on hitman since 2019 so I am good with it. It was compounded by the one wondering why it was not part of the deluxe edition. The scummy reputation of the 7DS comes mostly from crystallisation of the disapointment of the first months (who were quite empty between the smaller budget and COVID). So it was compared not to the Rp but to the season pass of hitman 2, where it is lacking. More importantly at the annoucement and until august we were under the impression that 7DS was going to be the only permanent content made for the game. Now, as many have pointed out then, the Rp was in addition to the bonus missions, seasonnal contents and challenge packs of Hitman 2016. They added an escalation, who are better and better (Greed is still bad in term of value ironically, Lust is worth it) In a IOI Insider they said 7DS should be compared to the Requiem pack (Rp). Honestly it depends on how you want to perceive the seven deadly sins. I plan to buy these later on down the line because the price is simply out of my wheelhouse at the moment, but saying these are “Low effort” is honestly very insulting to the devs who made it, because these clearly aren’t. IOI even stated they use escalations to experiment more with gameplay ideas (which even Hitman 2 did with objective-based escalations instead of actually killing people). I don’t find escalations by themselves a bad thing. None of that really sounds all that scummy, just not what anyone expected. Each DLC gives you a themed escalation with more voice clips, a partially redecorated map, usually a gimmick of some kind, such as Sloth’s vitality meter mechanic, a new suit, and a new weapon. I’ll let you judge, but 7DS are custom-made escalations as DLC’s with a bigger budget, and it clearly shows. I’m not sure what makes you think they’re scummy? Because of the price-to-content ratio? A metric that is, by all accounts, very subjective. The consensus seems to be that each one improves on the previous one.
