Haha, not bad.

But video-games can't get you sex sooooo... =[ .

iamnsuperman4999d ago (Edited 4999d ago )

good point unless you are into having sex with objects...(saw a documentary on men who have sex with cars weird)

The cheats codes sadly have decide started to disappear lately.... luckily GTA has kept their typical cheat codes I hope the next GTA has the cheat from GTA 3 (everyone carries guns and everyone hates you= endless fun)

kooleybear4999d ago

True true, theres no sex but games will always be there for you.

Cevapi884999d ago

man they better stop ragging on those chick flicks....have you guys seen The Notebook? you're gonna tell me you wouldn't watch that with your girl...plus i got a thing for Rachael McAdams...so i've see The Time Traveler's Wife in theaters being only one of 6 people in the room

don't judge me

iamnsuperman4999d ago

@Cevapri88 sadly I have seen both of those with my girl friend....Time travellers wife was ok bit stupid but ok but the notebook that was dull

seann4999d ago

man all she does is lie there. her body temp is like a thousand. so its a bad evening of sleep. and then no morning gameness or morning kenny vs spenny. cause she doesnt wanna watch or play. or even f*ckn eat. i dont know if its worth it.

turok4999d ago

Games will never abandon me but games cant blow me nor be fucked by me.

GFs will do both except no guarantee that they will stay by u to the end.

well im married so u guys go speculate.

seann4999d ago

i can think of a million reasons. my gf hates it when play games. my word, any free time i get from is college is spent at the gym or games. she wants to text whole day. agh!!!!!!! i am complaining cause she stays 35 minutes away from me. that a lot of money for driving.

but she is buying me sweet rdr for my bday.

djsean4999d ago

Games won't yap on and on about what happened in their day, and expect you to respond and give a crap.

Two Decades Later, the Original Splinter Cell is Still a Masterpiece

They don't make games like this anymore.

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

Jingsing6d ago (Edited 6d 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.

rlow15d ago

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.

vgvill5d 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.

PrecursorOrb5d 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

Chocoburger5d ago (Edited 5d 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!

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

anast11d ago

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk11d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast11d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk10d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

1nsomniac11d ago

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk11d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
