I couldn’t even find or understand the order of missions in the Hitman games online. I hope Showstopper is first from first game.

What’s my best bet to start this? I never played more than the free to play level on the first game. How can I get all three games for the best deal or package?

It's important to note that you don't actually have to own the first two games to get the content in the third one, you just have to have played it on your profile. So you can borrow a copy or rent one. And I imagine there are a lot of copies of Hitman 2 on eBay now that there's no longer any reason to own if it you bought 3.
In addition, both the first and second have bonus DLC. I think the first game has a GotY upgrade and right now the second game's DLC Expansion Pass is 75% off for $9.99 until tomorrow..

I kind of went over this already. The first game (called Hitman Complete First Season, as it was released episodically) was a Games with Gold freebie in 9/19 so you may already own it. \

Re: Hitman 3 (Literally every platform) 1/20/21
man 1 mission could take hours. is that normal? like i had to wait for a target to drink a drink i mixed him and poisoned and then beat him to the bathroom where i hid in bureau and then came out for the kill. but, i had to study, see the movements and thank god for manual save so i can figure out this shit. it was hands down a blast, but so long for even one target? i still have to kill his sister. and haven't even begun to figure out her patterns. but, sheesh, this certainly isn't a pick up and play game or you can but won't get a lot accomplished. hopefully, gets faster and easier...

I have only ever beaten the first mission, because like you say it is a lot of setup and studying and waiting and for me something always goes wrong. Like I will have on a proper disguise yet people will become suspicious of me for seemingly no reason at all and ruin all the progress I made.

yeah, before i do anything and i am in good status, i manually save and if i do something bad i can reset. they also do the auto saves and sometimes those have been helpful and then i save that load game to my slot.

Do the Hitman servers go down periodically? Because I reset modem and router, have connections to all my streaming service, but for some reason cannot connect to Hitman servers or Xbox Live even though when I do a test it says all good. Connected to internet. So I don’t know what’s going on...

Re: Hitman 3 (Literally every platform) 1/20/21
well,
i finished my first mission. Paris. it was quite fun studying patterns, know where they are going to be, take guards out one at a time and always in the cover of disguise. really a thinking game!
I do however have another problem. While i have all my Hitman 1 missions and extras, all of a sudden lost my Hitman 2 stuff. ugh! Though I think I can access all locations by opening Hitman 1, but can’t get access to first mission in 2, Night Call, I think?

Re: Hitman 3 (Literally every platform) 1/20/21
so frustrating. i emailed Sweden. i tried calling, but apparently i don't know how to make international calls with my phone, even though i can do so...https://www.ioi.dk/
i redownloaded 2 again and in Hitman 3, the only levels from Hitman 2 I can access are the final 2. So something odd is afoot...

No idea OB. You don't need to have the game on your HDD, as I have already said.
Try this : Since you already re-downloaded HItman 2 onto your Xbox, play one level in the game of Hitman 2. Save it. Doesn't have to be much, just have a game save. See if that unlocks the Hitman 2 content in 3.
I have all the content in Hitman 3 on my new (third) PS5 even though obviously I have no Hitman 1 or 2 content on that console.

Re: Hitman 3 (Literally every platform) 1/20/21
Slowest paced, most methodical game I’ve ever played. So strangely addicting though. It’s like how I just played Dishonored, always save before attempting something. If I fail, redo in good status.
But whereas I could kill everyone in Dishonored, meaning the Overseers as long as I had good pistol ammo. I would just clean areas out sometime bc there weren’t so many enemies. Most that come at you is like 7. Hitman much more and more aggressive. Can’t just go killing. I mean you get penalized for killing NPCs certainly. So I choke a lot out and dump them somewhere, but keep alive, take disguise and get good XP, I think. I got 21,000 XP on second mission, Sapienza. Is that decent?
But this is much more thought, intricate than Dishonored. You really got to go back to old save, and retry stuff until you figure it out. No real handholding. Which, is good probably, but hard. I do the missions how they give me with Professional setting, I figure since in middle must be default normal. But you gots to take time and really think!! Ugh, my brain is gonna hurt for a change and not my fingers!
And I wish I could figure out Hitman 2 access. Almost thinking about uninstalling everything, Hitman 1 already uninstalled, and just reinstall everything, games, dlc, access pass, etc. I’m not nearly there yet, but on. 3rd mission, so I’ll be there eventually. I don’t even think I can access the missions from the actual Hitman 2 game, let alone in Hitman 3. That’s odd, but saw online a couple same situation.
