History YMMV / Hitman3

*** [[spoiler:If 47 sneaks up in time, Diana will stab Yates]].

** Getting a sniper team to kill [[spoiler:Tamara Vidal when she's right next to Diana. Diana quite remorseful, and points out that she now understands why she's not supposed to get close]].
** Diana's [[spoiler:betrayal of 47, even if faked, is painful to watch for anyone who cared about either character. She finally confronts him on him murdering his parents and tells him that she always saw him as a tool. 47 can only croak out an apology before he passes out.]]

* NightmareFuel: The wine crusher kill. Good God.

** [[spoiler:Lucas Grey's death, where he shoots himself to prevent 47 from blowing his cover.]] Even if [[spoiler:he was ruthless and manipulative, he was [[UndyingLoyalty undyingly loyal]] to 47, the closest thing 47 had to family and it is clear from their interactions that the two trusted and cared about each other]].

* HilariousInHindsight: Hitman 2016 has 5 separate releases (Digital, Physical, GOTY, Definitive, Legacy Pack for Hitman 2). With the Legacy Pack for Hitman 3, [[CapcomSequelStagnation it gets a sixth release.]]

** Don Yates is a complete bastard with no redeeming qualities, but his wife Valentina, unlike [[spoiler:Jordan Cross, Marco Abiatti, Sierra Knox, Emma Carlisle or Don himself who show zero remorse when they murder someone, is horrified and genuinely remorseful when she shoves him to his death]].

** In Dartmoor, as cold-hearted as Alexa Carlisle is, she will [[spoiler:break down in TearsOfRemorse if 47 reveals that her brother Montgomery, who she murdered decades ago, loved her and was ready to let her take over as head of the family, meaning her murder of him was unnecessary. When Alexa then leaves to the balcony, she [[DrivenToSuicide jumps to her death]]]].

* EightPointEight: A bit of a weird example where many in the fanbase consider the gap between the scores given to VideoGame/Hitman2 and this game to be inconsistent in terms of how the scores were made. This game scores 88 overall on Metacritic, with the likes of [=VG24/7=] giving it a perfect score, while PCMag, PCGamer and IGN (the latter being one of the low scorers in Hitman 2's reviews) scored it 90/ 100 here (Making IGN's score 16 points higher than Hitman 2's score). This is despite both games having the same complaints aimed towards them by critics and players; a MissionPackSequel with hardly any mechanical changes, but exquisite level design. For the curious, the low scorers this time around were Stevivor and [=Comicbook.com=], both scoring the game 70/ 100.

** The Constant continues to be deliciously evil as he manipulates his way to the top of Providence.
** Even at death's door, Alexa Carlisle remains calm and collected, with Diana admitting "She may be a monster, but you have to admire her due dilligence".

** In Dubai, if 47 sabotages the exhibit to distract Lucy Phillips, Marcus Stuyvesant will take the opportunity to reunite with his daughter Cornelia. After getting over the shock, Cornelia [[CallingTheOldManOut calls Marcus out]] on faking his death and putting her through so much grief. Marcus tries to explain his Providence connections and that he is in danger. Before leaving, he tells Cornelia that she will have to have to accept him as dead, tells her he loves her and tearfully hugs her goodbye.

When Alexa then leaves to the balcony, she [[DrivenToSuicide jumps to her death]]]].

** Many fans, even those [[spoiler:who love Diana, were upset that Diana not only can't be marked as a target in Contracts Mode, remains a VIP]].

* ScrappyMechanic: Unlike Colorado, which saw a massive improvement between 2016 and 2018, Whittleton Creek from 2 has not been altered and finding the clues is still mandatory.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: While PaletteSwap items are unavoidable to ensure basic items don't need OldSaveBonus or DLC, all of them have a more or less unique look instead of the much-ridiculed "MKII" stickers of ''Hitman 2''. [[SelfDeprecation The stickers are even made fun of]].

** After [[spoiler:kidnapping him, the Constant tells 47 that Diana wanted 47 dead. Assuming the Constant wasn't lying, was Diana pulling ReversePsychology on him, or did she actually intend for 47 to be killed]]?
** Should [[spoiler:47 inject the memory serum into the Constant, was it 47 delivering LaserGuidedKarma to the Constant for erasing his memories or was it a show of mercy to a man he considered a WorthyOpponent]]?

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: After [[spoiler:kidnapping him, the Constant tells 47 that Diana wanted 47 dead. Assuming the Constant wasn't lying, was Diana pulling ReversePsychology on him, or did she actually intend for 47 to be killed]]?

* TakeThatScrappy: The ICA Electrocution Phone was ''removed'' from this game, even if you import progress from Hitman 2, the first weapon to be removed in the trilogy. The devs didn't give a reasoning for this, but it's very likely due to its ScrappyWeapon nature extensively detailed in the [[YMMV/Hitman2 YMMV Page for Hitman 2]]. While there are detractors who hate the removal of the phone simply due to the CuttingTheKnot way of handling the game balance, others are sad to see it go as it means they have one less weapon to play with, even if it is Overpowered.
