I know what you mean.
My only complaint about the new games (This and the 2016 game) are that it makes you feel like a bit of a loser if you just stealth your way in, shoot the target and hide the body in a cupboard. You're made to feel as if you've done things the least imaginative way possible, which I suppose as compared to disguising yourself as a flamingo to lure the target into a blackmail scam is probably true.
