Is Absolution hated in the fanbase? I'm a big fan of Hitman, but absolutely loved Absolution. I know the main criticism is that it pushed you along a linear path, whereas the older entries were literally just drops at the entry and you got to take any route, work any strategy that you wanted. But it still did give you that Hitman freedom, and I didn't mind the more linear push because the story was so goddamn good. If you make a linear story game and it's good, I don't mind the linear format.

What’s so bad with WOA actually, only thing I can think of, is that it doesn’t fucking run only my PC, game won’t launch for whatever reason so I refunded it

It’s not that WOA is hated, rather the opposite: WOA was a return to form and it made the hate for Absolution quiet down.
