Splinter Cell Blacklist - Better Than I Remember | Retrospective 

Blacklist is really good at the highest difficulty.

I have to dissagree with your analisis on a personal level (for a lack of a better word). You see I enjoyed CONVICTION allot and have to say that ghosting that game is possible, aside from the setpiece moments. But thats kindoff the thing; going against the vision of the creator and sticking to a play-style you want, finding enjoyment in going against the current (You could say I like being different). On a BLACKLIST note altough a fun game to me its also one the easyest games in the franchise, and ghosting most missions even Grim ones on Perfectionost is easy... so easy in fact that I used unsilenced weapons to add to the chalange. P.S SvM CLASSIC is to a alive-ish on a PC but the playbase is too... extreme. For COOP its easyer to find a friend than to matchmake... IF I HAD ANY!!!(T_T) P.S.S The low sales of SCB could be to lack of advetisments cuz to me it looked like it came out of nowhere havent heard a peep untill the game was already out. P.S.S.S Love your stuff keep up the good work.

Great video Brother

Splinter Cell Blacklist is indeed the second best game of the series. The best still is the original Splinter Cell up to this day. Chaos Theory is amazingly overrated ! However, you have to play Blacklist on professional difficulty and in addition to that I used the original outfit and guns, and had basically nothing more equipped, than the crossbow and the tricopter. Looking forward to the Next installment ! I think they should definitely get rid of that engine they used for Conviction and Blacklist !

Having a remaster of blacklist would be fine, atleast until a new one gets released.

From the legend himself! I can't believe nobody has noticed you commented on this video. I love your content! I've watched every one of your videos. Keep up the great work!

I mean yes , though i absolutely love the performance of the blacklist actor , i do agree if micheal ironside was there people would have loved this game more. It just become another reason for fans to shit on this game tbh

Can only agree with that as someone who has played all the games in german, since the voice actor for Sam didnt change there in Blacklist. Sam is still Sam for me in Blacklist. Even if he does act differently than in the previous games, its not that big of an issue. And if you think about it, it does make sense why he is acting differently. Thats because he plays a different role than in the previous games. Before, he was just a soldier, the only thing he had to do, was listen to the voices in his ear, no responsibility for the consequences of the mission or whatsoever for him (except maybe if he killed civilians or anything lol). In blacklist, he is the one in charge. There is no Lambert. Everything that could go wrong, is on him, and obviously, there isnt gonna be much time for sarcasm in a situation like that.. And gameplay wise, it took every good thing in conviction, and made a good stealth game with it again. I really really enjoyed Blacklist. Probably even my second favorite game in the franchise after chaos theory.

Luckly i don't have this problem because i play in italian and the og voice actor came back After not being there in double agent and conviction, but i Heard Eric Johnson and he Is Just not Sam

While I do agree that the game probably would be more fondly remembered (particularly by those who auto-dismiss(ed) it because of Ironside´s absence), it still wouldn´t redeem the fact that - like Chris mentions - Fisher in this game is an unlikable dick. Personality-wise it´s just not the Sam we know and love (same goes for Grim, who´s change is even worse, but we have Conviction to thank for that) and if Ironside did voice him, he would still be a dick, just a cool-sounding one. Blacklist really is great gameplay-wise, but Ubisoft´s greatest crime with this series is the character treatment in the last two games. I´ve said it before, but if we ever do get one final proper sequel with Fisher, they should just retcon the last three games (yes, DA as well because of the whole Sarah´s death plotline; plus we all know Sam would never have shot Lambert) and pick up where CT left off.

I loved your work in blacklist, and also 007 bloodstone as well right?

Hey man, just wanted to comment that y'all did great work! I hope Ubi pulls through and revives the series as it feels like this new generation could use a Sam Fisher!!

I think it would be a good idea to redo the first 3 games but all in the chaos theory style of gameplay.

Great game

Great work my friend, I genuinely hope your land a job with the next studio that develops the splinter cell sequel. It will come. I believe. If publishers are desperately remastering games with such poor quality while Ubisoft is simultaneously pushing splinter cell based season releases for R6 Siege.... there is no doubt that the crackheads that run the marketing and management departments of *insert publisher name here* (Ubisoft) will be looking for the splinter cell reboot/Chaos or Pandora remaster and I really Hope you’re on board. Best of luck and congrats on your past achievements.

Thing is, when you start involving hundreds of people and it's not a passion project anymore, it makes less financial sense to commit to a niche instead of trying to go mainstream. And your publisher and stakeholders are only ever interested in your game in a financial sense.

@@granite_planet I mean...do they *have* to start involving hundreds of people, though? Not every game is worthy or deserving of blockbuster budget and production value. There was a time when there were tiers between "indie game on a shoestring budget" and "AAA project spending legendary amounts of money." But with the seventh console generation, it seems like every publisher decided "go big or go home." There's gotta be some middle ground between "Spend ALL the money and hope we get lucky this time" and "Fuck it, we're just not gonna make any more."

@@playboydojo Agreed. This has been a big learning pain for traditionally "niche" genres such as stealth and horror. I bet Ubisoft got $ in their eyes after SCC's relative mainstream success, and decided it was time to convert the SC franchise into a major brand

This. Thisthisthisthisthisthisthisthisthis fucking this. Games NEED to be allowed to perform modestly in sales and still be considered a worthwhile investment that deserves sequels for a smaller, but dedicated playerbase. The film industry is having the same problem, where everything has to have blockbuster budget and make blockbuster money and it's causing nothing but burnout and stagnation.

@@playboydojo I don't know, I get your point, but would you really be satisfied with Splinter Cell game with a 5 hour campaign and no cutscenes? Or simplified, stylized 3D graphics? Simplified mechanics and levels? There's definitely a chance it could still be great, but there's also a chance that it would just fail to win anyone over and get any attention. I don't disagree with you, but AA game development isn't without risk either.

I’m here with you

Finally I see someone that acknowledges the Blacklist's existence.

Yes it's very underrated

I didn't know it was underrated until this video. Even the multiplayer was great

This game is underrated but amongst Splinter Cell fans it's very well received with a high majority of fans.

I played the whole game on the realistic difficulty stealth it isn't that hard if you are patient and wait.

@@jackbill5283 now do professional, I CANT but panther it (I like panther anyway)

@@clawzx1195 I did professional not realistic fucked up the difficulty name. Excluding the missions I forgot which but there are some where you can't fully ghost it. It's pretty easy to ghost it if you just use the crossy and non lethal gadgets.

Stealth in a stealth game . . . . Woah... Amazing

tal ion you’re the only person in this comments section that doesn’t understand this incredibly easy to understand comment

Yes it was. Dude doesn't speak for everyone. He was wrong about a lot of the things he said, especially in light of the revival Blacklist has been having throughout 2020 and 2021.

Assuming there was some defining gameplay elements between those 30 minutes exposition cutscenes.

Wait I just played this mission for the first time do you mean where he collapses just outside the entrance to the room with sadiq in it?

@@retarddog6505 you’ll know you got far enough when a cutscene plays instead of gameplay just fading out and you get points for exploration.

I played to where the marker was and got a different cutscene. Yup. Did blow my mind. I tell people this- every time i play the game, i find something different

It's nice to see people taking John Wick as the standard for action performances (movies or games alike). It deserves the recognition.

@@RRRRRRRRR33 | "Conviction" and "Absolution" are my guilty pleasures for this exact reason. I understand why fans dislike both, for deviating so much from their mainline instalments. But being able to cinematically "gun fu" everyone in a room in seconds means they're the closest unofficial John Wick simulators we've got.

​@@vdayucla Man I am so glad that someone shares the same opinion on these games as I do. I love both the Hitman and Splinter Cell franchises but conviction and absolution just made me feel like an absolute fucking badass while telling a story that I was invested in. To be honest, I think I would rate them higher than guilty pleasures, I legitimately think they are in the top tier of both franchises when I think about how much I have enjoyed and replayed them over the years.

I fucking love killing in a stealth game just to see how impressive it'd be if the protagonists were fucking murderers

R I mean, it’s not like John Wick is underrated or not recognized. The movies are very popular.

That was my first thought, too.

AAA publishers are very good at focus group testing. They know how audiences work. It's all about minimizing risk and maximizing the potential customer pool, which is kinda tragic, but not because the devs didn't know how to do playtesting.

@@mrmusashi QA testing and focus testing are completely different. You pick focus testers to represent the whole pool of potential audience your game might have, so by design they're not all going to be stealth game fans, or know anything about the genre. And that's the point, to see how the game works for a mainstream audience.

@@granite_planet that is like bringing in a bunch of people that have only ever driven sedans to review a new diesel truck. They wouldn't know what they're looking for or why it's so entirely foreign to drive. Sometimes pooling the largest population for a focus group is the wrong focus group for the product.

It's a good game for multiple playthroughs. I liked the panther and ghost runs, using different styles of stealth

I can definitely say that my impression of it is similar to his. But I'm also a fan boy of the series

I can tell you this game is amazing haters call it out because you have the option to run and Gun play Panther or ghost in you will find one of the greatest stealth Action games the most people missed out on. It's like the DMC drama it's my favorite Devil May Cry combat in the whole series but because Dante's hair was black haters going to hate which doesn't make sense cuz who plays those games for the story anyway

Unfortunately you need uplay even if you buy it on steam

the dishonored series is on sale on steam and all 3 of those games are incredible stealth games with huge potential for different playstyles and runs

I think it's more or less also the fact that they keep bringing in new writers to try and fix the silliness we're already stuck with. Each metal gear game has the same problems bc of previous silly writing mistakes where they put themselves in a corner and the best way out is either to retcon or just find a way to completely throw the player off the fact that they don't know what tf is happening anymore lol

I totally loved the campaign, really felt like you were part of an anti-terrorist organisation. And the villian was excellent. Co-op in this game is also a blast

Yo bro u should definitely play the solo co-op missions from grim charlie and kobin. They're as entertaining as the campaign

As story goes, I always found this to be the weakest aspect of this franchise. I don't remember anything about it. Say what you will about Kojima's craziness and bad writing (I am definitely not a fan of this degenerate, but...) he made some memorable stories and characters. Splinter Cell tells a generic tom clancy military conspiracy, nothing extraordinary about it. I only remember Fisher and Lambert by name, because they banter nonstop. But everyone else? Fisher's daughter, that woman who helps him with on-mission advice... I have no clue about their names. I only remember the plot of pandora tomorrow, fisher and his friends trying to stop a biological weapon attack... And that's it. In this blacklist game, I do remember the black dude who was supposed to be the next agent, Fisher had a giant plane or something to serve as HQ, no more lambert, black list was about... terrorist attacks or something? It's bizarre how the tom clancy facade (the guy is dead for almost 8 years now) ended up more as a random detail than an actual source of interesting plots. The concept of the "cells" agents? Cool, but never expanded upon... and that's it, the only worldbuilding from this franchise.

R just curious, but what do you mean by Kojima being a degenerate?

@@RRRRRRRRR33 "It's bizarre how the tom clancy facade (the guy is dead for almost 8 years now) ended up more as a random detail than an actual source of interesting plots." - Why?? Tom Clancy never actually had ANY creative input into the Splinter Cell concept, something which so many Splinter Cell fans seem to miss. The whole idea was infact originated by Ubisoft with writers J.T Petty and Clint Hocking. They paid Clancy a significant sum for the rights to be able to slap his name on the product as a marketing ploy to encourage good sales, but TC's purpose was never one for providing detail in the games story lines. Its the same with all the other games that bore Clancy's name. It was for marketing, nothing creative. The only anecdote that is known was that Clancy griped to the devs about Sam's goggles being multi-vision, because at the time of the first SC the technology didn't yet exist for multiple vision forms in one NV headset (now it does). They told Clancy that for game play purposes, having more than one headset would be cumbersome and thus he was fine with it after.

It's quite sad :( I've been playing through Last of Part 2 on the hardest difficulty (which makes stealth essentially mandatory) and it's left me craving a new Splinter Cell game that could take advantage of all the modern advancements in AI tech and a focus on cheeky dialouge & a non-lethal approach. Oh well.

"The Division", Lé-MAO. The game that was highly controversial and broken on release, only climbing to the mediocre standards of a looter-shooter at the tail-end of its lifecycle. And yet, somehow they can't even be bothered to mention Splinter Cell.

Metal gear gave birth, splinter cell was a really good game which came out to capitalize off of metal gear solid success

I do love that Sam has a mission in ghost recon wild lands. And they brought back the original Sam voice

Splinter Cell is Ubisofts Version of Metal Gear Solid

They made something great with Chaos Theory, and then they ruined it and made him a miserable dick.

The fans grievances toward this game are more plentiful then Michael Ironsides absence.

@@namesclassified7422 And more unjust at that.

You can't replace an iconic voice and still expect people to feel for the character. Imagine if they changed nathin drakes voice, or vin diesel as Riddick? The characters would just feel off

No it's because Sam Fisher was replaced with an imposter

@@m.a.k.dynasty4504 wow... You must not have played any of the previous SCell games. Because they all had more deeper mechanics and challenging gameplay for sneaking around

That Special Missions HQ ghost objective is so broken... I tried it *so* many times, I still have the level memorized. :(((

To be fair Blacklist SvM does not worth it. It is very limited in it's design, especially if you compare it to a brilliant Chaos Theory and Double Agent multiplayer. Those games could be played online with an infinite ammount of thought. Blacklist SvM has only 2 useful game modes out of 5, only 6 little maps and less unristricted gameplay to justify it. It feels like a harsh add on, because it was made separetelly by Far Cry 4 developers from Ubisoft Shaghai.

@@sinenomine8739 tbh I don't agree. Ofcourse, Chaos Theory may have way more maps and is a bit more unique but since the servers are down for it Blacklist is the best option. It still offers a really unique experience(maybe a bit more action packed) and it's still worth playing. 6 maps don't seem like a lot and it certainly isn't but it's still very fun to play on those maps. Yes, there are cheaters and spawnkillers fuck them and fuck ubisoft for the spawn system.

"That Special Missions HQ". Sorry, what are you talking about? What kind of missions?

@@mikethechemis The mission in Iran. Named "Special Missions HQ".

Reading this and taking into account what happened the last time Fisher was with a noob, his behavior makes so much sense now.

I don't buy it either. Maybe their in-house playtesters weren't stealth fans, or maybe they got outside playtesters that aren't specifically stealth fans, but fans of the franchise were never going to like the new direction and new players aren't going to buy a new entry in a historically stealth-centric franchise for the generic cover-shooting mechanics.

@@jackspade5316 You don't just hire random people who have never played or a stealth game or aren't fans of a stealth game to play test a stealth game. That's not how it works. Believe or not, not everyone plays stealth games the way that they are intended same.

His point wasn't that stealth games don't have an audience. His point was that stealth games don't sell nearly as well today as many out genres of games on the market.

How about payday 2, Wolfenstein (1 and 2, fuck the assplay that was just released) metal gear solid, deus ex, dishonored etc. Sadly alot of the more recent implementations of these franchises have been let downs.

@@m.a.k.dynasty4504 The examples he gave towards modern stealth games selling "bad" were pretty piss poor then. He did acknowledge the 2016 episodic approach which was a major point in what didn't get the game to sell well but also failed to mention aspects such as it's horrid online systems which locked item progression (a system which is still in Hitman 2 as well), bad beta reception before release of the first episode, SE's failure to properly advertise the game once all the episodes were out, the fact that it originally wasn't even supposed to be episodic but rather in "two parts", and so on. Dishonored 2 sold poorly not because of being "stealth centric" (which is an absurd claim to make to begin with given how action like it can become like its predecessor) but because of how badly optimized the game was across the board and people getting wet feet about Bethesda's general quality control on first and third party titles. Even then, Bethesda said they were more "underwhelmed" by the sales and only said the series is on hiatus after Death of the Outsider bombing (more due to the fact that outside of its E3 announcement, most people were unaware of it being a thing). As for Ass Creed, that's more to do with people being burnt out on its design as a whole and not specifically the stealth aspects of it. Besides, Ubisoft didn't have much of an issue with minimizing the stealth component when AC's stealth has always been a shallow joke at best. Even funnier he failed to mention MGSV sales which had surpassed 6 million by the end of 2015 and that was much after the fact people realized how unfinished the game's story and certain elements were, yet it still sold well to most likely make a profit despite its long dev cycle. Also at the end of the day, even without all this, it doesn't change the fact that Chaos Theory sold 2.5 million copies within 11 days, a sales goal Blacklist couldn't even reach in three months. The argument of one genre selling more than another is null and void when the sales gap is that large (especially since I'm sure Chaos Theory went on to sell even more after those initial sales). This is on Ubisoft's part of their awful handling of the IP and advertising of it. Old fans were still burnt from Conviction so they probably weren't interested in Blacklist despite its improvements. Stealth in a "stealth" game should not be a secondary objective like the Blacklist devs did when they decided to "add in" the options of hardcore stealth elements for people who wanted it. They should've designed around it.

If there is ever another Reich I wonder if they'll call it the Fourth Reich or reboot it and call it the Reich : Reborn or something.

@@Texelion3Dprints Reich: The Reichoning.

@@fuzzydunlop7928 You jumped the shark there 🤣

Yeah a Reich is something else entirely

Wes Lipscomb I also loved double agent. It’s a solid entry in the series and had some great stealth mechanics, I hated the hq missions though. I also enjoyed conviction, it was the final splnter cell I had left to play out of the whole series since it was a 360 exclusive

You know what could be cool? If they hire David Hayter to do the voice. His normal tone, not the forced and cheese voice he is know for. That could be a neat detail for stealth fans. I know Ironside is a well liked figure, but the guy is too old for this shit

@@RRRRRRRRR33 you can’t be too old to voice act. It’s not like Ironside is jumping rooftops.

@@have_a_good_day420 Have you heard James Earl Jones' performance in the Lion King remake? You can absolutely be too old to voice act.

@@Nofixdahdress wrong. He’s not too old to voice act. The character he voiced may be too young.

Yep man, after playing dishonoured 1, my love 4 stealthiness grew more, Since then I try to play farcry n AC games as much stealth as possible.

personally think stealth is one of the most underrated genres and that more games should atleast include an option even if it is a tactical shooter, wolfenstein tno did a great job at adding stealth even if the only stealth weapon was a silenced pistol

Pontry Tamling dude definitely play dishonored 2. It compounds on what dishonored did along with even better multifaceted level design

@@jordanscott4543 yep bro, thanx I'll surely try.

styx the stealth goblin games can also work. Plus Deus Ex and Thief are also stealth games.

Eternal I like Resident Evil 7 and it doesn’t deserve most of the hate it gets but best game in the series? The game would’ve been better if my enemies didn’t consist of just shooting tall black people. I’m excited for RE 8 to give us more enemies and flesh out Ethan more.

Say that to square enix. They stopped giving a fuck about anything that isn't final fantasy or avengers. At least hitman and tomb raider ended on a good note. Deus ex and just cause desperately need a sequel

We’re getting a gimmicky vr title apparently.

​@@oldsnake9520not anymore. That got kiboshed.

I disagree about multiplayer. It is very limited in it's design, especially if you compare it to a brilliant Chaos Theory and Double Agent multiplayer. Those games could be played online with an infinite ammount of thought. Blacklist SvM has only 2 useful game modes out of 5, only 6 maps with the same hiding spots all over again. Spies are even glow in the dark unless in old Splinter Cell multiplayer, so the whole stealth thing is mostly about killing or running away to a different spot. Maps are overall too small and can be full of spawn kills. The whole thing is also hardly balanced. In classic mode mercs can just set up a mine fields with ammo crates. Spies can jump on you from a fucking Dubai skyscrapper. Spies can call of duty their way with guns in blacklist mode. I am somewhere around 100+ place on the leaderboards in this online mode and i can tell you: 1 year is a maximum value you can play out of it, unless with SCCT and SCDA online, they are trully endless. SCBL SvM feels like a harsh add on, because it was made separetelly by Far Cry 4 developers from Ubisoft Shaghai.

If you like Chris’ vids you should check out Joseph Anderson, Strat-Edgy Productions, and Noah Caldwell-Gervais. They all make similar content that is also phenomenal

I wholeheartedly disagree with this comment. If anything, the Mercs were slightly overpowered, you just needed to use the right loadouts effectively. (A skilled Merc using the sonic detection system can actually beat a Spy in hand-to-hand combat almost every time, nullifying their biggest advantage in direct combat: Their instantly-lethal hand-to-hand takedowns.) Overall, I actually found the gamemode remarkably balanced considering the highly asymmetrical nature of the gameplay. I didn't feel like I was outmatched as either a Spy or a Merc. Now that might not fit _your_ definition of what makes SvM good, but I could see such a game having even an esports scene if Ubisoft had bothered to cultivate one. And the gameplay is just sheer fun, it's genuinely tense and down-to-the-wire on both sides, and encourages unconventional, creative approaches to one tactical situation or another. Once I literally trolled my way to victory by taunting and teabagging as a Spy at the Mercs, and tickling them with my weak little popguns, distracting them by pissing them off enough for my teammates to complete a hack and win the match. I rarely see shenanigans like that work in other competitive shooters.

There’s a classic gamemode on blacklist where the spies don’t have guns only a shocker that temporarily disabled mercs and it only holds one round at a time. It’s also 2v2 rather than 4v4 like the svm blacklist mode.

@@oldsnake9520 ah interesting, did it have a name this gamemode?

It's a good game. Don't worry about what others think.

Man have you guys played chaos theory? Even today it holds up and it is just a unique game and still one of the best all time stealth games. Ubisoft is selling the first 3 right now for like $5 and if you haven't played them I highly recommend it. After chaos theory I think you'll see why fans are still mad. That game is a masterpiece

@@cashuflakbreakdancer We can like other games you know.

The last paragraph is a complete character assassination. Sam is anything but by the books cough saving the pilots in Seoul cough

@@m.a.k.dynasty4504 which he did not in any way say or imply you could not like Blacklist. Tho if you did like it more than Chaos Theory you are probably on drugs

i always loved how mark and execute looked, i used to watch the original ubisoft showcase of blacklist and replay the mark and execute section over and over and over its so cool lmao

@@sirbonple i wish more ubi games did that. But at the same time, every stealth based ubi game has the most cripsy lineup of animations. Just wish ghost recon wildlands and breakpoint got more love, especially with that specific feature

Yeah, but MGS wasn't about stealth alone, to be honest it wasn't about it at the first place, because you could have always shoot everyone. Not many true MGS players beat it properly, but they should, this a humanistic series. SC games before Convcition perfected what stealth truly means, so do Thief before terrible reboot. Hitman franchise is more about crative puzzles and it plays in it's own league. Dishonored is not a well thought out stealth experience, it even doesn't focuses on that and feels boring as a stealth game, even wrong at times.Deus Ex and WD 2 also brought a lot of quality stealth gameplay to the table, but they are in a hardly winning state for now. So this genre is still unfortunetely pretty niche, real stealth died long ago aside from new hitman games. And games like Styx, Clandestine, Aragami, Monaco, ECHO are either B class or unpopular indie titles, but i still recommend them.

Mgs sells so well that konami did everything in their power to get rid of kojima and killed the series?

Sleexb that’s because they’re dumbasses. Mg survive sucked, and guess what it wasn’t stealth oriented. Mgs sells good, Konami just blew it bc they kinda just suck

MuDDy BLooDy well I’ve only played mgs games on higher difficulties, so just shooting and being loud never really worked

@@sinenomine8739 you could shoot everyone sure. But it was heavily discouraged by the health and grading system in every game except V. You overall made some good points though.

I would blame the loss of Ironside as the voice actor, but the move to MoCap meant the character would look much like the actor. So, they needed someone close to the character model...and it falls flat.

It's actually very distracting.

@@qdllc Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you HAVE to make the characters resemble the actor playing them, it's just easier for facial capture if the have a similar face

Has about as much personality, but without the snarky options.

CT still had a map with an indicator you had to access using the OPSAT. BL still lets you explore. You're not forced to follow the marker if you want to explore. It's not like there's a timer on missions.

Marking targets and killing a whole room of badguys like you're John Wick is what ruined this game for me.

@@MyJourneyConcludes You don't have to play it that way. It is more enjoyable if you ignore that stuff. As a matter of fact, The highest difficulty is how the game is supposed to be played. It completely removes mark and execute and sonar goggles and makes the game a lot like CT. Since i switched to perfectionist, i've never looked back to the lower difficulties.

@@vladymirvonrootintutin6618 You've got that right. Beating those stealth-only missions without touching anyone, on Perfectionist difficulty, is one of the most satisfying things ever. I forgot the X-ray goggles and executions were even available features after a while.

Co-op has no place in Splinter Cell. It cuts off people who don’t have someone else to pay with.

My best friend and I had that last mission down to a science. 0 kills, undetected. Then you walk out that last door, and it makes you get detected and kill the guards. (It's not the only area that does that, either.) Other missions in the game have you escort someone through an area, and if you don't get detected, you don't get detected and reinforcements don't get triggered. I don't know why they didn't do that for that part.

@@qdllc Blacklist had online co-op. i played alot of it with strangers and found it enjoyable since all of us seemed to know what we were doing.

A lot of the people who disliked it did so because they were the type of people who only want to ghost through the game and really just want something like Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Conviction was not the type of game they wanted and they refused to try and play the game on the games terms. A lot of the hate on Blacklist comes from the same people that disliked Conviction because they still hated the new gameplay style and felt it was still too much like Conviction. Personally, I really enjoyed both Conviction and Blacklist. Blacklist was definitely better than Conviction, but that's just because Conviction was their first attempt at that new style and Blacklist allowed them to further iterate on the fundemental gameplay of Conviction, while also allowing for much diverse play-styles.

because its called splinter cell. if it had a different title everything would be fine like literally. - A hardcore splinter cell PURIST fan.

RE7 didn't sell too well at launch and didn't meet Capcom's initial expectations. It eventually sold as much as RE6.

Completely agree

Listening to forums isn't highly recommendable. Ubisoft's problem with Siege tight now is that they listen to much to what certain people want (Which are goofy things.) instead of properly fixing the game.

I can't tell you for sure at the moment, but it definitely would be great to play co-op

Would love to, but I can't go online in this game :(

@@isiahmaliklevantezimmerman6570, some specific problems with online? Maybe, I can help. It was common problem everybody suffered from since the release of Blacklist.

@@mikethechemis I managed to play with few people two nights ago.

@@isiahmaliklevantezimmerman6570 I hope you will find the way to.

No way. Isn't it UE3? They were using tech like TXAA and HBAO+ for that game.

Nope, TXAA wasn't a thing on consoles (until the next generation) so it's exclusive to PC, as well as HBAO+ which is exclusive to Nvidia GPUs.

Nah DA on the 360 was unique

Sam Fisher can be silent or bad ass with his weapons in Blacklist like he should be able too.

Personally, I think it's not the voice actor at fault here. I feel like the scriptwriters and directors are the reason why it doesn't feel like the Sam everyone knows and loves. In my opinion, I kinda like how Sam sounds in Blacklist, but I don't really like the things he says.

Ikr

Lance Talon yeah they act like Conviction never happened. Kobi didn’t even , idk I felt like something was missing in their interaction, too much comedic or trying to be comedic, not enough seriousness

Chaos Theory is a Tom Clancy novel, Blacklist is 24

Exactly! Blacklist would make a great John Wick game with a few visual mods. It's a trash Splinter Cell game though.
