The Mediocre Zone | #76 | Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist (2013)
So wanted to finally play this game and finish my Splinter Cell experience ... if i could show a emotion... to show how this game was handled on a PC, then this would be perfect ヽ(#`Д´)ノ and this one ლ(ಠ益ಠლ and this one (ノಠ ∩ಠ)ノ彡( \o°o)\
First of, this game needs three patches on PC , why ? because well ... BAD PORTING REASONS... 1.00 vanilla version EXCLUSIVE FEATURES :
Missing graphical options ,
Fucked resolutions ,
Not to mention this game will not start IF YOU WILL NOT EDIT THE INI FILE ...
Tell me how fucked is that , when a PC game will not run because it does not recognizes your resolution .... so you have to set it manual in a INI file and then when this game will start then you can configure it more ...are you a tech savy person that can mod and edit internal Ini files ... no .. this is for you (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
OK so after all this fucked things ... your now set to play this game , your mind is set to HAVE FUN ...
GAME : No
Fuck you said Ubisoft for PC users, guess what every 25-45 min this game will crash to desktop ...every FUCKING 25-45 FUCKING MINUTES ON THE PC ... why , Ubisoft posted a clear solution to this on the STEAM FORUMS ... every 25-45 min this game connects to Uplay servers IF THIS GAME WILL NOT SEE A SERVER OR WILL BE BLOCKED BY A FIRE WALL this game will crash .... Fucking nice ... ehm even the cracked version has the same problem ... tested this version also ... but the thing is uhm I play the retail version with ANAL UPLAY DRM on the PC ... *When a Uplay DRM hinders you to play the game* ... (the real reason is still unknown people are still guessing ,why this game crashes but read ON)
So the PC version as of now is a stinking PILE OF CRaSHING SHIT , that is so net dependent on PC you think its a MMO .. try to run this game on PC after 10+ years to play its Singleplayer segment , tough luck (only the console version will survive)... yes it runs at 120fps in 2715x1527 with crisp visuals BUT IT CRASHES TO DESKTOP every fucking 25-45 min ... wait a minute someone SCREAMS FROM THE CROWD it is not ... ┬──┬◡ノ(° -°ノ) this crashing memory leak error was introduced with ... patch 1.03 if your on 1.01 or.1.02 it works normally ... no shit sherlock, but i bought this game and to PLAY IT UPLAY UPDATES IT BY AUTO TO 1.03 .. THANKS DRM ... (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
This was so annoying , i got the XBOX360 version...fucked the graphics and wanted only to see the game story as my OWN experience then some YT vid ... and that's how broken this game is on the PC ... AND then i got to one point when this game visual presentation, was too awful for my PC heart, so i went back to the PC version now on a cracked 1.01 patch that makes this game run normally ( it still crashes, but now random every 2h or more)... then my Original bought game that its crashes made this game unplayable ... *When scene cracks fixes the game by fixing the DRM*
But in reality no one knows why it crashes ... the engine is just that shit ... one time the retail version works perfectly ... one time it is not ... just see those FIXES https://support.ubi.com/en-GB/FAQ/9/2732/patch-links-and-information-for-splinter-cell-blacklist/kA030000000eZlVCAU ... fuck me hard "Fix crash when walking on the big pipes" or see those ones :

TELL ME ??? because i am kinda stumped ... was this game still a BETA ??? a test version ??? that they released, i mean ... fuck me hard ....
Don`t believe me , just google "splinter cell blacklist crashes" heck even the XBox360 version freezes ...YES THE CONSOLE VERSION ... :facepalm tough skull: ... guess this explains why AC Unity worked like shit .... no QUALITY ASSURANCE , push the game out the window ... no matter in what shape or form ... we will FIX IT LATER ...
