Thanks, I'll actually have to try that. I abandoned my last play-through with the main quest stuck at this exact point. I'm pretty sure I shot House in the face in my first play-through but the golf club is a nice touch.

I think you only get the choice if
you did the faction quests before you were sent to kill them, otherwise they might not trust you enough.

There are co-op missions, survival mode, stealth missions, objective missions, and more. Add Spies vs Mercenaries there's plenty of co-op and versus content to keep you busy.

One of the best stealth game to release in the past few years and its just as competent as an action game. Graphics are also very nice.

I pre-ordered it for $35 bucks or something, before it said Uplay on the store page, and then they added Uplay to the storepage, right after it released. So I'm still salty.

Maybe I'll play it one day, until then it can rot in my library :p.

Hey SteamGAF, I need opinions again. Is SC: Blacklist worth $8? I enjoyed Conviction to a point, but.........

Sooo good. Far better than Conviction and the best SC game in years and years. One of my favorite games of last year. Was a real surprise and blast to play.

Damn, I was hoping Chaos Theory would drop further along with Blacklist.

If you're reading this and you're on the fence about Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Yes, Blacklist is legit. If you're solid at stealth games I also highly recommend playing on Perfectionist difficulty. No dumb Execute maneuver, sonar goggles can't see through walls, enemies spot you more quickly, and you can't refill ammo mid-mission so there's more emphasis on stealth and being tactically adept with how you use your various tools.

Plot and scenario design are typical Clancy technothriller garbage, characters are just as shallow as you'd expect, and the economy is comically broken, but the actual core stealth is pretty strong.

The levels are fairly layered and individual missions can be quite lengthy your first time through; enemy AI is competent and on level retries they change their routes; the game is fairly well-balanced as far as allowing playthroughs for pure ghost stealth, lethal stealth, and all-out assault. The former approach is going to be more difficult than the latter, but that's by design, and in my experience so far there's only been one section where trying to ghost stealth was a little aggravating.

Spies vs. Mercs also makes its much-needed return, and every side mission can be completed in co-op, so the multiplayer element is also significant.

Though i havent played the game a whole lot, what i have played i have enjoyed thoroughly ( much more than conviction). Gameplay itself works very well. I would definitely recommend it at the sale price.

Yarp!

I was going to post a picture of a Drumstick, which I'm sure is inferior. But I didn't want that grumpy guy to shit up the thread complaining about me shitting up the thread.

So I'm making 3 posts about ice cream cones instead.

Thanks for the tips. Will definitly play on Perfectionist then. Sounds like it is the real deal. I have been longing for a good stealth game.

Since I prefer to think of myself as less an ungrateful piece of shit, but just an average run-of-the-mill piece of shit. Forgot to put the name, it's BROTHERS - A TALE OF TWO SONS IN BRIGHT RED LETTERS. Haven't played it, might suck, might not.



EDIT: If it doesn't work for whatever reason, PM me.

I wonder if it's good.
