This game is frustrating as poo poo, I don't think I've ever spent so much time trying to get a game working ever. Spent 5 hours downloading this last night, only to have it do nothing upon opening. I have to manually kill the process and then the Ubisoft after-game report shows up. Spent another 30 minutes downloading the patch, only to have that not work either. Then I saw that that copy of the patch (which was hosted on the ubisoft forums) is broken, and I need to download another version of it. That didn't work either, so I uninstalled the game and apparently now I have to re-download the entire thing. What the gently caress is up with Ubisoft? Is this a normal thing for them? Whole bunch of people on their message boards asking for some sort of advice or mod response and its just total radio silence over there too.

As  ey as this may sound, you're probably better off downloading some sort of crack since I'm pretty sure pirates have had Uplay cracked for quite a while now, and as far as I've read it's uplay that's causing the crashes/hanging.

Whole bunch of people on their message boards asking for some sort of advice or mod response and its just total radio silence over there too. I can personally confirm nothing but horrendous experiences with uPlay. It's an utterly garbage platform. I say this as someone who enjoyed Conviction and the latest Ghost Recon and trudged through getting it to work so I could actually play the games (and I enjoyed both games!). However getting them to work is just an unbelievable hassle. uPlay is hands down the worst DRM, match-making "service" and update distribution platform I have ever used. Admittedly I'm going to get Blacklist because I loved Conviction and the gameplay looks fun but I know with uPlay it'll be a pile of rear end to get working so I'm just going to wait until it's on sale. I seriously cannot say anything positive about any Ubisoft uPlay gaming experience other than "eventually, through troubleshooting I got it to work." As none of my games have worked properly from the get-go ever and have always required doing some weird fixes to get working. On the plus side, it made me actually appreciate Origin as being not that bad.

Man, this is so loving dull  I only played the first 2 missions, but ehhh. It's not hooking me at all. I absolutely loved Conviction from the get go, but nothing about this makes me want to play more so far. I honestly facepalmed when I heard "Fourth Echelon" introduced. The new characters seem totally expendable. It just seems like a dumb retcon from what I've played. Though I probably should've anticipated that I wouldn't like this one, since I've only really loved every other game in the Splinter Cell series after the first one. I loved the first one, Chaos Theory and Conviction but really didn't care for Pandora Tomorrow or Double Agent at all. Oh well, I'll just wait for the next one

Sam Fisher still looks like he's floating throughout the world and this is especially evident when you're climbing around, there's nothing that looks like actual climbing, it's like you're just floating from ledge to ledge. It's really offputting. Especially since that's the reason we didn't get Ironside.

Xbox save got eaten tonight so be warned. At least I wasn't that far into the game. No idea why. Before it happened, I quit to the main menu and waited for the Saving prompt to go away before shutting down so I'm pretty certain it's not my fault.

He kind of reminds me of the original ghost recon voice actor (the one who briefs the missions) and I actually kind of like it with all its military soundingness. Not as good a voice as ironside at all but honestly I was never really playing spinter cell for the writing and having ironside deliver one liners wasn't all that important to me. I dunno, it still feels distinctly like a tom clancy game to me. And I'm saying it again, the svm is the most fun i've had in competitive multiplayer in a long time. ethanol fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Aug 22, 2013 |

Got this game for free with my video card. I never played multiplayer in any of the others besides some co-op, so I'd like to see what that's about. Unfortunately the game doesn't launch and the thing going around about editing videoSettings.ini isn't applicable because I don't even have an Ubisoft folder, much less that ini file. e: plus my problem isn't exactly the same. The game "launches" but only as a very small footprint background program, and I don't get the "thanks for playing" screen until I force close through task manager, as opposed to it closing itself automatically and getting that message immediately.

Tried (and exited) my first 4e side mission for Charlie tonight. Survive 20 waves of ever increasing enemies to complete? No thanks! Jesus, who thought that was a good idea of a mission to make. Even in co-op, I can't imagine this mission being anything other than a complete pain in the rear end to complete.

God, the movement system here is so weird. If I am playing Spy and I sprint to a wall, I want to sprint to the wall. I do not want to also vault it. Nor do I want to continue to run, perhaps wanting to crouch again without having to tap the sprint key.

Yeah, the 4E side missions kind of suck, which is disappointing because I like the main missions a lot. I keep having trouble with the Kobin ones. I take out like 9 of the guys, but a dude will sound the alarm just as i am KO him. Any advice?

After playing for a few hours with Ethanol I have come to the conclusion that the multi-player is loving awesome and hilarious. I'm surprised more people aren't playing it. Classic SvM is just like Pandora tomorrow. Hopefully they'll come out with old maps sometime soon.

Was in Classic, in the hospital level, running down the clock as a spy with point B. I was off in a corner at the end of the second floor, which gives you surprisingly good cover. They ran around the whole drat place until the hack was at 98%, at which point someone vaulted over the railing in front of me and I stabbed him in the gut. You could almost hear his rage. I love this game

Got into an SvM Classic game with a friend earlier. I was the more experienced of the two of us by way of I had played a round of it before and he hadn't, so we're walking around to one of the hack points as I tell him the less simple rules. Things like the cooldown we need to wait out once we kill the hacker and such. We won the match, but I found out something while I was playing. My friend's nerves get shot as hell when he's playing a game mode where the opponent can kill you out of loving nowhere. It was to the point where it was actually slightly funny. He was doing things from hardly noticeable like missing most of his shots, to swinging around wildly when I died (at least we knew to stick together but I don't know if that helped his heart) to my personal favourite, when I was showing him how to place proximity mines. I place one on the ground in front of the terminal as an example, and as he walks up to a doorway to place one, we get an alert that Terminal A is being hacked. So he doesn't place a mine on the ground. He throws a grenade and kills himself. We plan on playing more eventually, because despite him almost pissing his goddamn pants he liked the gamemode, but we stopped for the night after the one game because he was jumpy even two minutes later after the game ended.

This game is a whole hell of a lot of fun; probably the best entry in the series thus far. Digging the different Ghost/Panther/Action techniques to beat each level, and sticky shock darts never get old, ever. The addition of a crossbow with all kind of Q-branch goodies as darts is also rad as poo poo. I rented it earlier tonight from Redbox (they only had the PS3 version) and I just got to the level where you've gotta break into the Iranian dude's safe house in South America. I'm bummed out that good ol' Michael Ironside didn't come back as the voice of Sam Fisher, though. The guy they replaced him with sounds a bit too young for the character.

So is there any way to get the pc to reliably do the thing where he kills the guy he's grabbed after a pistol execute? He always seems to take them as a human shield momentarily then immediately kill them, which looks stupid and takes forever. I've seen the animations they showed in trailers like three times out of a thousand. I also can't figure out how I would actually take that human shield on purpose if I wanted to without killing them... Adrian Owlsley fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Aug 22, 2013 |
