Yeah but having to wait for a game to release in full is different than playing 1/3 of it in march then wait almost a year to finish it? Especially a story driven one?

You don't actually need to purchase it right now that's why there's an option to just wait for the final release.

Also hitman is not really a story driven game as Absolution push towards that I personally don't like the narrative and hitman series I have never played it for those reasons I've only played it for the hits individually.

It's not really a game that focuses so much on story I could never really tell you to buy it for that reason.

And if you do love the story and want to see it in a couple sittings just wait till fall. the episodic option is merely an option.

It's not a final game that's just being on hold till fall consider it still being worked on even after it releases in March.

Once again no one's really forcing anyone to play it in this format, it's not really that much of a story driven game where it would be necessary to see it all in one sitting.
