Vinny is still getting used to the new office.
I hope not. I want Amplitude to be successful, because Amplitude is diesel as fuck.

Legend of Korra looks like a game Platinum made in about 10 months.

well they probably did
its only 15 bucks
its a budget game its not going to be some amazing genre defining masterpiece
its just a licensed cheap beat em up
Probably less than that. MGR took them 12 months.
At worst I put it equal to Chaos Theory and in some aspect it's actually better so no it's not crazy to say that Blacklist is a great SC game. Blacklist is amazing.
You honestly thought Dan would enjoy a game like Chaos Theory at all?

Blacklist takes the few good elements of Conviction and incorporates them into an actual Splinter Cell game. Plus that brought back the kickass multiplayer.
Fantasia of all things gave you that impression? Not the shitty looking shmup that has nothing to do with music or the cancelled first person shooter that had nothing to do with music or the new Dance Central that noone knows or talks about?
But, yeah, I'm worried too. I want my new Rock Band. T_T
I think you just answered why he thinks its the best one

As it turns out, people still can't deal with it when others don't like stuff they like.
I'm a huge football fan and Jeff/Vinny's FIFA/Pro Evo QLs are among my favourites. And Jeff's hate for football is probably even stronger then Dan's dislike for Anime.
It's pretty good, not the best in the series, but better then Conviction and Double Agent. Waaaaaaaay too easy though, even my "No kill run" never really challenged me

If you liked Chaos Theory then yes Blacklist is great. It's the perfect mix between Chaos Theory and Conviction. The best of both world.

Blacklist went largely overlooked, but it's really a fantastic game. It takes the best aspects of Chaos Theory while retaining the ease of play of Conviction.
It's a good game just not a good Splinter Cell. Same goes for the last Ghost Recon.

Is the playstation home content really coming out on March 31, 2015 or is that a mistake?
Home is shutting down on that day so they will livestream the last couple of hours.

I don't think Dan like stealth games, so it's hardly surprising.

As a general advice:
If people talk about that and say stuff like "I ate some Brad yesterday" or "I like it with butter and honey" they probably talk about bread
If they say something like "Dota and Destiny" they probably talk about Brad

I didn't know this thread got moved to community. Looks like I'll need to add yet another subscription. Man, it's a shame Korra looks so bad. Poor, poor Jason...

How is the Wii U version of Blacklist? I just noticed it's really cheap for that system, and as everyone that has a Wii U knows, there aren't a lot of games to play.
hmm good rule of thumb, thanks for this prolifehackertip!
Worst version of the game as far as I remember. Worse textures, framerate the whole shebang.

What about Bard ?

Hmm, if i didn't already have such a large Steam backlog, i'd wait for one of the upcoming Steam sales. Meh, it's 8 bucks, i'll bite the bullet and deal with the Wii U version just to have a game to play on it.

If you're not playing D&D or travelled through time recently and somebody starts talking about Bards you should probably just run away without looking back.

Blacklist is great. it's the most Splinter Cell-y Splinter Cell since the PS2 era.
The best thing I can say about Conviction is that it's not Double Agent. Double Agent is dooooogggggshiiiiittttttt
edit, by which I mean the 360 game, not the ps2 one, which by all accounts is a decent game.

If you're reference to older Splinter Cell games was the PS2 games then you're already coming to it all wrong.

I mean, I played them on PC. I dunno. After 3, I thought the series went all kinds of wrong and Blacklist managed to hit closest to what made me like the original trilogy.

The Korra game fucking sucks, but Jason isn't playing it effectively. He's not using the charge attacks at all, and those give you an attack and speed buff that lasts until the chi bar empties. It makes those robot and bender fights much easier.
To reiterate, the game still blows.

ding ding ding ding?
we all know how Dan likes 24 (dude thought that's how Cops rolled lol) so him picking Conviction does seem as much of a stretch anymore. Also didn't it get rid of the failure state stuff (ie "we are pulling out out Fisher", retstart) entirely that plagued the other games
Awesome, congratulations. That process absolutely drains you.

In conviction, I thought the way they tried to turn grimsdottir into a facsimile of pamela landy was obvious to the point of silliness. Some of the writing and dialogue just sounded lifted straight from the bourne films. They dialed it back a bit in blacklist at least. Gameplay wise I remember conviction being too easy and just kinda dull from start to finish. I ended up rushing through the last quarter of the game by spamming grenades and sprinting past people when I could. Blacklist was much more reminiscent of chaos theory, and more fun to play overall. Having a not-drunk sam fisher was a plus too. Glad they tossed ironside aside, even though he was great for the first three games.

Man, congratulations! Seriously, I'm happy for you. I'm looking for a job myself, and I know how frustrating it can be.

I love Michael Ironside but at a certain point it stopped making sense for him to voice a character like Fisher. Ironside sounds like a sleepy, slightly angry guy now, and that's fine, but not when you're doing actiony things.
