That's a weird reason not to try it out. I mean, I can understand it looks messy in the library but to hold out on game betas and demos because it puts icons in your library sounds like OCD to me.

So I can't find the beta on the webstore so how do I go about getting this?
Im still trying this beta, but that does suck how the betas stay in your library. I downloaded Rocket League yesterday (or what i thought was), booted it up and stared getting connection error messages.. its the damn beta!. lol, in the main library menu, theres no telling them apart.

Just finished the beta missions. I didn't 100% them just played through them once and while I liked them I'm just hesitant that the episodic content is going to be a bit content light. I don't know if I care enough to replay the same level 10 times to get all the different assassination types etc. Obviously this was just a prologue type deal so I'm guessing the main levels will be more expansive?

I enjoyed the demo but I certainly won't be picking it up until the full game is released and I get an idea of the amount of content that will eventually be available. It's a shame it's episodic and will be waiting till at least the year end before its all out.

its been a long time since a good save system in a hitman game
this is great

This is so annoying! I think the only difference between the icon is that one has flames and one does not, I mix them up constantly. Luckily, Rocket League is usually in my 10 frequent apps.
Honestly, I don't blame people for avoiding Hitman for this, especially if they don't really care about the franchise. It is annoying the demos/betas show up in the library forever, so for me it's not worth adding a new icon for a series that I don't really care about, just to try it out. It wouldn't be so bad if they clearly identified it being a beta/demo, but from what I've seen, they do not.

Is it me or is the framerate shitty?
Game bugged out in me while hiding in a closet.
Froze completey a couple of times.
I do like the gameplay though.

Just finished playing it. Yeah, I'll probably drop $15 on this at some point. Shit felt like Hitman real quick.
I forget not many games play like this.

Lol wow. I like to completely wipe the HDD after I'm done with every game. Can't be too safe!
if you suffer from OCD I apologize
GAF doesn't get you. It's all good. I hate clutter too, we should be able to clear the library. I'm not dling the beta because I don't like what they're doing with this title

why would that be an issue?
Frame rate sucks, mad glitchy, horrendous voice acting, bit it is kinda fun.First pass through I was on fire. Second pass is same mission but a few things changed and they keep catching me...lol. I have now went from "Who cares?" to "Maybe".
Yes it is! Wow!

First time through, I went onto the shop with the mechanic disguise, got the chef disguise, then the target saw me and followed me into the kitchen. I killed him before he could make me. Done. No alerts. Took maybe 3 minutes.

Wasn't even 30 from what i played (i think..). And nothing was going on either. Just walking.
Is it the ai in the level?
I hope it will be a good steady framerate at launch.
It was okay. Framerate was horrid though, tons of drops. One of the things I noticed that caused massive framedrops was looking at a mirror in bathrooms. Some coders need to learn a more efficient way of making mirrors.
Other than performance issues, it's still the same Hitman game. Nothing new really. Personally not interested, I never really cared for the story in these games. I just want to get a mission, go in and be a silent assassin and get out. So yeah, besides the story, there's nothing new. It's the exact same gameplay since Codename 47.

Kinda figured this was the "beta" stuff.... i imagine it'll be fixed by final release
In other news the setting is super cool (HINT: look up)
I'm still wondering this myself. I asked this question in the firmware beta thread, but didn't get an answer. How many games are you playing at once that you need to use the library to access them? I just did a count of the frequently played list on the main menu, and even being generous and not counting apps like video, share factory, Spotify, etc, I counted 36 games. Like, are people playing 40+ games simultaneously that they need to scroll all the way to the library to boot them up?

This beta is terrible... I don't think the final game will change how I feel about everything. Gameplay just feels weird and clunky.

I enjoyed it, but it's definitely not a Day One purchase for me. Far too buggy, a bit unclear on what it wants you to do/how to do it and performance is a shit show, but the core gameplay is Absolution mixed with Blood Money, which is to say, pretty damn good.
I'll hop in once the full release rolls around and a discount hits, probably around Winter time.
