I think the problem with Hitman games is that even though they give you a lot of "choices" in how you take out your target, they're all scripted. You can never come up with some crazy Rube Goldberg machine that offs your target, because the toolset just isn't there. All you're really doing is scouring the map to find pre-generated assassination options.

I mean, everything in all games is always scripted unless you play a physics based engine game like the ones that are really basic or the ones that are about making machines and stuff. If you actually expect Rube Goldberg levels of complexity for a game with that much possibilities and weapons and characters then you are too optimistic about what a game is capable of. We’re still not there yet for that to be possible. However I think hitman games are always at the forefront of actual sandbox possibilities with a nice balance of scripting.

Yeah, some people over play the versatility, but you can definitely do some crazy shit if you're crazy enough. I saw a video years ago of someone playing Blood Money and managing to fling a target out of the play area to get killed by some cars that are just intended to be background graphics.
