Chiming in to say that Splinter Cell: Blacklist is a great game, you can stealth through like the early SC games or go balls out murderer Conviction style (if you're awesome  ).

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Jade Empire did kind of suck. I played it for an hour or so and never went back. Conversely I loved the poo poo out KOTOR. Usually it ends up being tiny little things that make people decide whether they like a game or not. The combat in Jade Empire is so loving horrible and has aged even worse. I bought it and thought I'd dust it off but Christ it's just awful. Keyboard and mouse or controller, made no difference. Conversely the combat in KoTOR isn't something to write home about but at least it's still playable.

I have 57 games on my wishlist because I never buy games at full price. So I do order them based on how much I "want" them (newer games up top usually) while the list allows me quickly see if any of them are on sale and for how cheap. Hope that helps some people understand what a larger wishlist could be used for.

Drifter posted:If I'm only going to play one Splinter Cell, should I play Blacklist or Conviction? If you have both I say play Conviction first as Blacklist has better gameplay and you probably won't want to turn back to Conviction afterwards. And, if you don't like the combat focused Conviction, just skip it to Blacklist where you don't need to use it!

By leveling up the Beekeeper I've gotten to the final boss with 45 seconds or so to spare but then it all comes grinding to a halt and I waste all 45 seconds just trying to get the boss's health down to just under half.

Glad to see that, when the dust settles, people are sticking up for Blacklist as a good game because it really is. If there ever was a case of a designer really addressing gameplay issues and giving people what they want after changing it Blacklist would be it. That story though, good god

Manatee Cannon posted:Because Revelations isn't very good and AC3 is outright bad while Black Flag is fantastic? Whoa, AC3 is actually pretty good. I remember reading how poo poo and buggy it was but it's been patched the poo poo out of now so a lot of the bugs (and reading some old patch notes it's comical how bad of a state the game released in) have been fixed. If you've ever wanted to be Hawkeye from Last of the Mohicans where you go running, full tilt, into about a dozen dudes and just go balls out whirling tomahawk then it rules. Honestly the combat system is the best they've ever done (smoother than AC4). Story is about as dumb as any other AC game (and really falls apart in places where you can tell they cut scenes out and jumbled a bunch of poo poo together). Of course it doesn't look as good as AC4 and if you try playing the ship combat after AC4 you'll find it garbage. But even so, it's worth giving it a shot!

bamhand posted:How is Ghost Recon? And is any of the DLC worth it for single player? It's a fun enough third person shooter. It's kind of like Rainbow Six Vegas but in third person. I got it for something like $10 with the completely worthless season pass (I think it gives you like 2 SP guns but 5 MP maps that no one plays). It's $5 now so I'd say watch a bit of gameplay and if it looks like you'd be interested go for it, it's $5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DBoJJjFiH4

Mad Max, though really a mostly alright open world game (due to how repetitive a lot of the game is to unlock stuff), has a loving great ending. 100% hell bent on murder revenge (really justice revenge considering how evil the guys you kill are). Having the kid voice over when Max just goes full rage was really well done. A lot of games are great and end mediocrely. Mad Max was getting tiresome but holy poo poo it ended well.

Yodzilla posted:This looks so bad. There is a gun called the P.M.S. apparently. I swear 3D Realms' must have a corporate culture dead set on not moving past the mid-1990's "haha sexism is pretty funny right guys?" I mean, gently caress it, sometimes jokes based on the sexes can be funny if they're well crafted, sure. But calling a gun a P.M.S. is sexist while also being completely unoriginal but also a "joke" that was never really all that funny to begin with when it was "acceptable", and really was played out 20 years ago. It's more the idea that the dev team genuinely thinks that they're being clever or something with that acronym that bugs me than anything else. The word of P.M.S. literally being the sole joke and punch line? In 2015? Really? Do they have a gun called the F.A.R.T. that fires smelly wind blast that sounds like farts at bad guys too?

For what it's worth I never really cared for mindless shooters but played the apparently lovely PC release with a buddy who played the console games. It was a lot of fun getting ludicrous weapons and if it clicks for you then you'll like it enough that the grind won't seem like a grind because you like shooting the poo poo out of alien bugs. If you don't like it then there's no point in it really because you're playing the game to get weapons to play the game more. I'd say watch some videos and if you have some bros to play with then it's probably worth it.

I never liked a Elder Scrolls game until I bought Skyrim. I thought Skyrim sucked too. Then I installed around 125 mods to change how the combat worked a bit, how the level up system and skills worked almost completely, and shitloads of new weapons and armour that didn't look retarded past steel. Oh and some ENBs and lots of graphic mods. Very few quest tweaks though (barring fixing broken ones with USLEEP). I've thrown in over 130 hours into Skyrim before I finally beat it. I think the "this is a great game" comes from it's mod-ability and core lore you can build on as well as general story. In terms of specifics like dialog and gameplay it's kind of "eh" but with the modding I can cater it completely to my tastes until I go "gently caress yeah this is exactly what I want and it's single player so how I modify my enjoyment affects literally no one else." I can't think of many other AAA games released nowadays that allow such modding freedom. Mostly you get tex-mod poo poo which is a pain in the rear end hassle or cheat engine poo poo that is a buggy mess. Skyrim's mod community seems pretty good with amid Organizer and LOOT, plus bug-fixing patches where the work is done for you (Arthmoor's loving autistic "artistic" door meltdown aside). I wouldn't bother with Skyrim as an unmodded game at release but, as I said, after over 100 mods I have a game I want to play so take from that what you will. Welp that's my contribution to the Bethesda binary garbage fire of a discussion we have going on.

anilEhilated posted:Thing is, most good games don't tend to need dozens of mods to make them fun. That's why I was specific about how I found Skyrim to be great. Somebody else playing "my Skyrim" might think it sucked but I thought playing the vanilla Skyrim that most people played and enjoyed sucked so here we are. Well the setting with essentially Vikings vs Romans and elves and dragons with a long-standing history. Also look at this guy saying all dragons are bad come on man.

Azhais posted:I made the decision long ago to boycott ubisoft until uplay dies (so probably forever). It seems to serve no purpose other than to prevent legitimate buyers from playing their games. It's really quite sad that their DRM system has made it far easier to The sad part is that this isn't even hyperbole in some cases. I bought Ghost Recon Future Soldier and couldn't get past uPlay. My friend pirated and had no problems. Took me about 1.5-2hours of troubleshooting to get my legal purchase to work. uPlay has gotten NOT AS AWFUL but it still isn't actually good. And to be clear I'm not a Steam fanboy or anything. EA's Origin (while still not as good as Steam) was poo poo but now I'm fine using it with confidence. uPlay is still a goofy pain the the rear end I would be happy to do without.

John Murdoch posted:Uplay is really hit or miss, judging from the stories that crop up in the thread. My account is actually older than Uplay itself and the worst thing it's ever done to me was dump a patch into a default folder instead of the actual game install. The fact that their servers near-reliably tank every time their games go on sale is dumb, though. That's my personal experience too. Most games it's a hassle because of extra DRM but whatever, it works in that I can open the game. loving Ghost Recon though, just a massive hassle. Then there's the fact I've had to reinstall it troubleshooting probably a dozen times or so at least. The best I can say is that when it's at it's best it's only a minor inconvenience. I never buy Ubisoft games at launch anymore because of uPlay until I know whether or not Ubisoft poo poo the launch bed for their latest release (hint: they always do).
