Both times I've reinstalled a game on Uplay, the cloud save has been gone. Best of luck.

There's a lesson to be learned here.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Yup. Blacklist was fucking awesome.

Right? It came and went so quickly, and nobody at GB played it. It really executed on the ideas Conviction tried, and brought back the best stealth elements of the old games.

The lesson they're teaching is to just pirate the game. It's awful that even the steam version of their games forces Uplay upon you.

 

[tuxfool]

So I reinstalled Splinter Cell Blacklist to finally finish it. That game is fucking great and went overlooked.

But oh look, Uplay deleted my save. Again.

I think the solution is just to kick uplay to the curb and install a crack.

Those takedowns though. So satisfying.

Considering Dan's fascination with monkeys, I put forth the hypothesis that Dan Ryckert is, in fact, a furry.

Similar to Dishonored. Does anyone at GB like playing stealthily in 3D now that Patrick has gone?

 

[AcridMeat]

Wow they already finished Metal Gear Scanlon? I'm 4 or 5 episodes into 3. Have lots to look forward to then.

Gators are scaly though.

So good. I love how you can use your gadgets to get actually useful intel about a situation your heading into. So many sticky cams.

That's true, they didn't give Dishonored its due. It got more attention than Blacklist though.

 

[Chance Hale]

The last level of Blacklist is so good, ending is really goofy but it still had me shouting oh shit which I rarely do in Tom Clancy America hoorah garbage.

Edit: Specifically mean the really obvious

Spoiler

you weren't playing as Sam

twist

 

[alr1ght]

please no more MOBA content.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Jeff:"Guys...I've decided to get into Smite. I mean, the 3rd person action stuff looks pretty fun. Yeah I know. I even threw away Super Mario Maker because it's not moba enough."

 

[Red UFO]

Disagree, let's have that brad/dan Dota feature!

 

[skLaFarebear]

Jeff and Jason QL King of Fighters

Online MOBA

 

[Jeevesmeister]

Conviction was a tighter, better game than Blacklist which went all over the place and ultimately tried to satisfy everyone too hard. There, I said it. Also Blacklist was politically abhorrent and way less compelling.

 

[Zornack]

Finally beat Castlevania 3, goddamn that game gets serious at the end. So good though. I don't know if Vinny is going to be beating this one...

 

[ratcliffja]

I like multiplayer coop games, but not if it's coop competitive. Relying on teammates or having teammates rely on me is way too stressful to really enjoy a game.

 

[Gandie]

Heroes of the Storm is great. Had a lot of fun in the tutorials. Kinda scared of playing with other people though, since I'm bad

 

[ratcliffja]

GBeast playdate tomorrow for Crusader Kings 2. I apparently have the first in my Stream library but I've never installed it.

Join us in the OT, it's fun playing with other GAFfers. You also get that sweet XP bonus.

But you couldn't move bodies. Check and mate.

You know who plays a lot of Dota 2? Dave Snider.

Just throwing that out there.

Grimm's missions in co-op were fantastic. In general most of the co-op content was a lot of fun. The PC version could've used Chaos Theory's scroll wheel to change movement speed mechanic as being without it in Blacklist means that higher difficulties basically require playing with a controller to limit Sam's movement speed and noise he makes.

 

[hamchan]

I think Dan's onto something with the two Big Bosses thing. It would explain how he "survived" after MG2. That would mean he had 4 clones, though (Evil Big Boss, Solidus, Liquid, and Solid). Of course, that would then make 5 different versions of Big Boss aka V. That kind of crazy number thing is exactly what Kojima would do.

Or maybe not exactly a clone, but they somehow managed to copy Big Boss's face onto the medic in that helicopter. Dude's face is all wrapped in bandages in all the trailers and he's voiced by Keifer when they could have used any random NPC voice. Oh god now we sound like those head transplant people.

Yeah I imagine that would be frustrating. I played with a controller on PC, only using keyboard and mouse when playing as mercs in SvM.

what if Quiet is Chico but Chico is wearing a Quiet mask and underneath the mask he had gene therapy and now looks identical to Big Boss because he has an unending adoration for him and wants to kill Ocelot for trying to steal his mancrush

 

[BearPawB]

I play HotS when I am alone,
and Dota 2 with my friends.

HotS is great for quick little bursts. But it rarely gets me half as excited/tense/any emotional state as Dota.

It is a cooldown game.

Gazlowe is the bestest.

 

[stump sock]

what if Chico is Liquid Snake's arm

 

[Anjin M]

What if Solid Snake was really a penis joke all along?

 

[KingKong]

I don't want to know what Punished Snake means then

 

[skLaFarebear]

What if Chico was actually Fatman

 

[Zaph]

Would explain the roller skates. Fatman was 12 all along.

Bionic Commando (2009) was a MGS game

 

[robotrock]

Do we know how Metal Gear Scanlon V is going to work yet? I've missed every episode since MGS4 Episode 10 and I don't know if they've talked about it yet. Are they going to do the vault thing?

 

[funkystudent]

My honest "whats up with Chico?" predations.

1: In keeping with the grimdark tone of MGSV it turns out he committed suicide soon after the events of GZ and is only mentioned by other characters in TPP.

2: He grows up to be decoy octopus.

 

[Chance Hale]

Have there been any implications that he didn't just die in the helicopter crash?

 

[Mister Negative]

I've got upsetting news.

Someone is making a Dota 2 RTS mod.

Isn't that just Warcraft?

It's about time things came full circle.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

That's been my thinking

Spoiler

save for the fact Kojima seems terrible about leaving things lie.

I've just read the summary of what happens to Chico and Paz between PW & the start of Ground Zeroes, because I'd forgotten why he was captured.

Ugh.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

That would make sense but this is a Metal Gear game so he probably won't be dead.

I did find it funny that after watching 3 hours of watching Peace Walker that Dan couldn't recognise that voice as Kaz.

Bionic Commando (2009) was a MGS game

It had better music than any track in any MGS game except for the Harry Gregson Williams MGS2 opening.

 

[TumblingHippo]

I think I may have logged 10 hours into Crusader Kings 2 so far and I still have no idea how to properly play that game.

But man... I want to keep trying. Someone tried to emulate that game in board game form recently, but I can't even imagine staying friends after playing.

I've logged an embarrassing amount of time in that game and still don't know how to do everything yet.
