Released a decade ago

I'd say Contracts > Blood Money is a fairly common opinion on Holla Forums. Certainly I'd agree with you if we're talking about the games as a whole though I think Bloody Money has more entertaining ideas for some levels. Also the ones with the large crowds were pretty mind-blowing at the time even if its fairly easy to see how they managed it nowadays (the people in the crowds aren't the same as normal NPCs).

When will the new Hitman not be always online bros?

The full game comes out on the 31st. I'm hoping that they'll take out the network shenanigans for that release.

You can already play it offline, the main campaign anyway

I know, but last I heard there were some bullshit restrictions. Like how you couldn't access unlocked weapons if you were offline.
