I enjoyed that Blacklist designed the missions to keep the speed of Conviction, but also allow you to slow it down and take your time picking them off one-by-one - or not kill at all - if your heart desired it. Conviction did true stealth sometimes, but those missions were usually designed single-mindedly, and most…

You’ve obviously never had an internship.

That game exists already.

Streamlined, I’d say. I raided in BC, then went extremely casual only playing just to see the opening content of Wrath and Cata. I returned a few weeks back, and I have to say that I like that some of the arduousness is gone. I’m not longer spending 20 minutes getting a group together, then another 20 getting to the…

The people who don’t plan to buy it, likely never did, and needed a superficial excuse to buy a PS4 because the XBOne is an internally ever so slightly inferior machine. If they did plan to buy one, they know by now that it’s not online-only, and already have or plan to buy one. That press also told them (for free and…

“All press, is good press.”

After seeing with Ubisoft (!) did with Unity season pass holders, it’s hard to not expect some sort of..... thing, from others. Granted, in one case the DLC was never delivered, but I was promised a certain date for it all to be working, and that date was then taken back for another much much later date. As much as I…

We all have a role in society. We can’t do what we do without each other!

No, this is called support after release. See, most companies would have just abandoned their game by now (save for some DLC to make some more money, which if they are in the mood may fix an issue here or there), whereas these guys find bugs and fix them. Because they fix them, you hear about them being fixed, and…

Now they should be doing sliders instead of side by side. It allows you to see the differences in many different settings, and (in the case of PC) allow you to easily determine if you can live without the setting. I hate to post a competitor’s site, but Polygon made a very similar article to this, but used sliders.

My newest tactic is to buy (for example) a 980. Then when the 980 Ti comes out, you can sell the 980 (I sold mine to a good friend for $400), and buy the 980 Ti. It’s a yearly(ish) $300 instead of an every 4 years $300, but it keeps you on the “bleeding edge” for a lot less money than you’d think.

You don’t have to play it that way though. As I said in a different post, I absolutely prefer the stealth route, and they do it as well as any previous game. Now I just have options if I need them. Options are always good.

The character was a Navy SEAL, and then some. If “balls to the walls” isn’t supposed to be an option for him, then they would have never recruited him.

Well.... To be fair....

Absolutely more fun to skulk. I play Splinter Cell to do that. Nothing satisfies like getting in an out of an area with nobody the wiser.

I didn’t see these replies in my original reply. Apologies. Blacklist is worth firing up to see where they’ve gone with it. I had to wait til someone called Sam “Sam” before I realized I wasn’t staring at a random agent, but the gameplay was solid. They better bring back Ironside (or at least a solid impersonator) in…

Sadly, they won’t see it as “we replaced the main character’s voice with generic NPC #54, we probably shouldn’t have done that...” I have a friend who still refuses to buy/play it for that reason. He admits that it looks fun from watching me play it, but won’t give money to Ubi for that decision, and I have a feeling…

I personally found the game easier on run’n’gun. I considered the game much more challenging trying to go full stealth with no knockouts. The game certainly allows you to do both, but it’s soo much easier to finish a mission when nobody on the map is alive/awake.

I thought it was obvious I was speaking of the latest games.
