That's not saying much tho.</Derrick>

But yeah, if you have an interest in Blacklist get it for half-off right now if you plan to play it now. It was the surprise of last year in that Ubisoft didn't completely fuck it up like they did Conviction. But the "stealth" needs a little more work in getting where it could be AMAZING.
Well considering it was actually balanced on the hardest difficulty which has no assists and I even played it without using cover-to-cover (i.e. essentially short distance sprinting without making sound) and it worked out fine, it did extremely well considering what normally happens to stealth franchise hit by the AAA stick.

I won't argue that it feels too easy if you don't purposely restrict yourself to not using too many gadgets/mark&execute/assists but the fact it fundamentally works without all the stuff they added onto it is fantastic.

I tried 1 hr of Ghost and oh man..is the same thing... and the worst is that I knew, and I still disappoint..I feel robbed and that it was free(too much GB in my hard drive)

But i guess is good for another hour with a friend in the night...and then install COD4 camping and play it. :)
Tried it aswell and... oh dear.
- Lag. Lots of it
- FPS was shakier than a rollercoaster ride
- Maps felt ill-conceived, more suitable for Battlefield than CoD
- Horrible palette. For someone who, like me, has a less-than-excellnt eyesight, it's a pain to squint and try to find out if that thing in the distance is an enemy or a set piece

In the end, uninstalled and went back to Black Ops 2. Sensibly better.
 
I wish the NaissancE devs could have thought of a better way to utilize their incredible art direction than terrible first person platforming...

It would seem the Hawken devs are going to stick with the AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting flag.
 
Eh, the multiplayer beta on PS3 wasn't that bad. It was janking to be sure, but I wouldn't say it was completely awful. Worth checking out for $5, at least. I can't say anything about the singleplayer.

The SP campaign is terri-bad, even if you try to play it like Call of Duty (because you won't play it like a Ghost Recon, the developers made sure of that).

Multiplayer is unfortunately infected with P2P and host-migration every 5 mins. It's borderline unplayable.

Seriously though, if you want the experience the peek of the series, play the original Ghost Recon (+ exp.), or Advanced Warfighter/2, if you can't handle the outdated graphics.

ahem.

Does not compute.

GRFS is good. It just isn't good in the same way that GRAW was. GRAW was good too, but it wasn't good in the same way that the original Ghost Recon was.

The series isn't exactly known for maintaining its play style. I won't even mention Xbox GR2.
 
you are an evil person, yes you are
kinda tempted by my girlfriend is the president, I imagine it's Sega president, it has to be.
I blame steamgaf :(

Well it has Irina Vladimirovna Putina and Ouhama. You can think of it as an advance class of International Politics expressed by romantical and sexual relations.

Didn't check the daily yesterday.

Did Blood Dragon go on sale for 75% off yet?

Yesterday was M&M and Anno 2070.

Edit: Here's my theory on the recent AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting hoopla:

My guess? Valve made a small list of the games that were being traded the most and slapped the restriction on them, thinking it was doing a good thing and testing the waters for a registry-wide rollout.

These CS:GO operations totally pay for themselves:

1. Buy the CS:GO Phoenix operation pass on day one.

2. Play a game or two, get an operation themed drop. Sell drop for double of what the operation pass was.

3. Profit.
 
A little bit less than a week! I can't wait!

The game actually unlocks right when I get out of class! Perfection.

I've counting minutes ever since it was announced. I've waited to replay it since it came out on PS2, there's not enough banderas.gif in the world for this game.

When's dat OT by the way ?
