Hello, I don't know if anyone has ever asked: Whats your opinion on the Hitman Absolution trailer?

People have asked me, just in private.  Apparently I’m “that Nun-obsessed girl” so whenever anything nun related happens people ask my opinion on it. (I find this privately amusing.)

As for the trailer… there’s no story, just a bunch of scantily clad female assassins disguised as “nuns” (ie. of the adult costume variety) getting massacred by some skinhead in a suit.  It tells you nothing about the game itself.  It’s a gratuitously violent, misogynistic, exploitative mess.  And not even in the potentially entertaining tongue-in-cheek B-movie sort of way.  Just in a really disgusting, “why the hell would you even show me this” sort of way.

This blogger explains the problems better than I can: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/05/30/opinion-what-the-hell-is-with-that-hitman-trailer

So, as for my opinion… I hate it.  Surprising no-one, I would imagine.
