Could anybody with the 360 version tell me how active matchmaking for Classic Mode is? One of my friends and I are thinking about getting the 360 version since matchmaking on PS3 takes forever.

Or if anybody on PS3 wants to play customs, that'd also be great. I already have a few other people interested in doing customs.

This game is still one of my favorite of the year, I'm stuck on the oil tanker though.
I was by my cousins house and I played through a few levels on perfectionist.... man that stuff is tough

 

[chris121580]

Ugh somehow my save got wiped from this after the most recent update. Frustrating

 

[Dance Inferno]

I finished the

Spoiler

Detention Center

mission yesterday. That's more like it - a stealth-heavy level that doesn't require me to go balls-out killing everyone around me for a "Cinematic Set Piece" moment.

Of course once that level was over I was dropped into a follow-up level that is EXACTLY a "Cinematic Set Piece" action moment where I am supposed to dispatch everyone before proceeding.

It's almost like Ubisoft can't get the taste of Conviction out of their mouths and they keep spitting it in my face every now and then.

Oh god, Kate Drummond (Grimsdottir) is the cutest button in this video! Elias Toufexis (Kobin) too, he's hilarious. "Sam, do I look like my mother when I do this?"

3killabytes also did a fantastic Deus Ex HR video with Mr Toufexis that I'm sure everyone has seen by now.

 

[TheSeks]

Anyone up for GHOSTing Brigg's fourth co-op mission on Perfectionist? On PC.

 

[TheSeks]

Well... that's interesting:

Trying to do the enemy wave modes alone, Jesus. Dogs are the worst things ever. Playing on hard or whatever is just below perfectionist, fwiw.

Yeah doing those waves alone is annoying, but doable as long as there are no dogs. Dogs can very quickly throw a wrench in your stealthy strategy.

I've been playing a lot of SvM lately and I'm loving it. It's probably my favorite multiplayer mode of this generation. I generally get very frustrated and annoyed with multiplayer games but I find myself addicted to this one.

 

[Effect]

So were the issues with the multiplayer on the Wii U version fixed? Is it at all active?

 

[The perfect Dark]

my god this hard and frustrating. But it's also fun at the same time. Bought the WiiU version and I really like it so far (second mission).

 

[The perfect Dark]

Those stupid dogs are completely ruining the experience. Fuck them.

The game starts out hard but once you upgrade your gear to the more stealthy options it gets easier.

The dogs are fine as long as you put a lot of distance between you and them. Also they have patrol routes that they will follow so try to sneak by them when the opportunity presents itself and they are walking away from you.

Yeah I just found out that you can use sleeping gas to get rid of the dogs
And I still have the feeling that the game will be even better in the second playthrough (with upgraded gear).

 

[Lima]

Do they have any DLC coming for this game?

 

[The perfect Dark]

On Wiiu? I don't think so.
There's no DLC on Ps3 or 360? Because it says "Finished DLC missions" in the progression-screen

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Fuck dogs.

They weren't fun and ruined the parts where they were involved. There's a difference between "difficult" and "cheap and frustrating and shit".

 

[The perfect Dark]

This game has the worst checkpoints ever.

edit: Fuck this game, I'm done.

 

[The perfect Dark]

My god this game gets worse and worse.
First person shooter action? really?
Stupid and boring defense missions?
Because of this crap there's no replay value imo.
What is wrong with Ubisoft?

You done Grim's missions yet? Some of the best in the series.

Also? You can ghost those stupid first person bits.

You've done some coop yet?
Are you on PC?

heh
No, haven't been able to try co-op. I'm playng on WiiU and there's no one online. Seriously, it's a wasteland.
I managed to beat this mission though.

 

[oneida]

this game is $25 on Amazon and i had a gift card so I've just joined this party.

B)

i like the series, only played the demo of conviction but have the original trilogy on xb. i hear this entry is well regarded

 

[KingSnake]

It's was not a wasteland at launch, but it didn't work for so long before it got patched that people dropped any hope and didn't bother any more.

 

[Fantasmo]

Nice reboot.

Too bad it suffers from the same failings as all stealth games; that being the first mission is too tough, it isn't exactly fun when I'm not eased into anything, and I keep getting spotted.

Safehouse, Benghazi, Libya, is crawling with enemies that are facing you and block your progress and this mission isn't very conducive to experimentation with your toys.

At least give me one mission where I get to treat things like a playground so I'm not reloading checkpoints all day, god.

 

[Omzz]

had picked this up for wii u for 5 bucks at best buy. i guess one advantage for having a wii u is getting 3rd party games at disgustingly low prices

liking this game quite a bit. trying to ghost sections is way more fun than just going out guns blazing. i actually recommend doing that to make the game more enjoyable

Yup, trying to ghost this game is pretty fun. I did my first run as a Panther and now I'm doing a Perfectionist Ghost run. It can be pretty exhilarating at times.

 

[pulga]

Just got this game in the eShop sale. Anyone want to hook up for some coop? NNID is: 7pulga

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I realise a lot of people probably love the campaign artifice, but if the next game is just a bunch of new side-mission maps, I'd be okay with it. The 4E missions were excellent. They must have been a lot of fun cooperatively.

just did a mission where you play as fisher and briggs

Spoiler

and holy fuck the fps part is shit. why the hell did they do that? i hate briggs even more now

 

[TheAngryMonkey]

Just played the

Spoiler

Iran

last night. Great way to piss a player off. I gave up ghosting that one for a bit.

Anyone else play this on Wii U? SvM and coop is completely hit or miss for me. I either get into a game quick or it just isn't going to work. Some people suggested putting the Wii U into the DMZ on the router which seemed to fix it. But when I can't find any games I have to restart the enter console to get it working again. Am I dreaming? Is it really that bad or are there just that few people playing it?

 

[Dance Inferno]

The two DLC packs are on sale on XBL Gold - High Power on sale for $1.50 and Homeland on sale for $3.50. Either of those packs worth it?

 

[Ashtar]

Anyone down for Some Ghost/perfectionist Co-Op on PS3? every time I join a game its some knucklehead playing assault on easy or whatever it's called

 

[moltonasty]

Just bought the Wii U version for $8 from gamestop, and I'm damn glad I did. So far it's my favorite Splinter Cell out of the ones I've played!

 

[strafer]

Replaying the game now with the Upper Echelon Suit, the suit from Chaos Theory.

Feels good man.

Except the suit in'game has patterns on the arm instead of the wetsuitish effect.

 

[strafer]

No saves between hackings on the Grim Missions is the work of the devil.

Had two done and then the game crashed. YAY,

[pnoozi]

Holy balls this game is amazing. Just picked it up on Steam.

edit: If you buy it on Steam, pay the extra 3 dollars and get the deluxe edition. You get a lot of useful stuff.

 

[strafer]

I love those missions.

As do I. The seafort is 100% old school splinter cell.

Love it.

Reminded me of the Lighthouse level from CT too.

 

[Auto-Reply]

So, is there anything one should know about when using sweetfx (only for screenshots) and running this game in dx11? Something regarding crashes?

 

[LogicStep]

No one plays this online on PC? I loved spies vs mercs on chaos theory and I just got this game and the online is fun. Just seems like there aren't many people playing.

 

[leng jai]

Just picked this up on PC. Game looks and runs great and it looks to be the best SC game since Chaos Theory.

Since I switched to the new consoles Blacklist is one of the games I miss most, and the only one without a current gen re-release or sequel coming out this year.

I would have loved if they announced a "Definitive Edition" for X1 or PS4. I'd buy it day one. Even on last gen, I thought the game looked phenomenal. It's one of my favourite on 360.

 

[leng jai]

It runs at 60fps at max 1080p (minus AA) on my 2011 2500k/GTX570 which is pretty impressive. The game really does look sleek, and the UI options are much appreciated. The soundtrack is quite solid as well.

 

[Evolved1]

I still can't believe there's only one movement speed while crouched.

The things I loved most about player movement in Chaos Theory are nowhere to be found. It's difficult to look past. Very.

You can super creep while in cover though. Yeah, its weird, but its there.

I miss the level of control from Chaos Theory, though I did find that I went super slow through that game when I didn't have to - same as in MGS4 with his inch-worm like snake-crawl when fully prone. Blacklist's crouch-speed keeps you moving.

More than anything I miss the sound meter, or at least the important of creeping on various surfaces. The latest Thief still had this though, which was appreciated.

The fact you've found some enjoyment with that game always makes me want to try it again... but I don't know. I mean, it'd be the the fourth attempt now. I just think, they burned me with this one.

Don't put yourself though a ringer ;p Nothing at all wrong with knowing what you like and what you don't. If it had three chances and still couldn't hook you ...

It did sing to me though, but I'm making do with Ground Zeroes, even though its just a fucking tease.
