...is if somebody f***ing kills his annoying ass. How's THAT for irony? :|

Jack already forced games like The Sims (and GTA) to get re-rated because of third-party mods that the developer had absolutely nothing to do with.

I'll actually bet that he'll win this case, and from now on, developers will have to watch the options available in their create-a-character modes.

Not because he actually has any kind of case, but because the American legal system is THAT f'ed up.

BlackCountryBob6412d ago

The create a character models can look like real people??? SHock horror, what next, ban pencils and paper as it turns out that using them people can create images of actual real people!!! Jesus Jack, an old guy with grey hair, it could just as easily be a model of Bill Clinton as you, get a life!

NitrogenB6412d ago (Edited 6412d ago )

This guy seriously needs to get a life, new profession, something...he has way too much time on his hand.

THWIP6412d ago

...Bill Clinton is actually COOL. It's his b1tch wife that has a hard-on for slamming the gaming business with Thompson. They really should just get married...Bill would be MUCH better off without her. :|

BlackCountryBob6412d ago

I never said Bill Clinton wasn't cool, I said he was an old bloke with grey hair! Can you really deny that is true?

BIadestarX6412d ago

I can understand why this guy is doing this; and it has nothing to do with games... It's one of those politicians that want to pretend they are doing something good. Here is where the taxes we pay go.

Yeah, it's also just so he can get his name out there so people can hire him in future cases.

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Jingsing1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

vgvill1d 6h ago

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

PrecursorOrb1d 6h ago

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Chocoburger23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.

Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.

If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard

As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
