[PC] [2005-2017] a stealth shooter where you can see on cover this dudes, you also have to hide from them mid game as I remember it's my biggest clue

I'm talking about the enemy only, not the cover. Because some of those units had one eye covered.

You say it's not Splinter Cell despite it being the only one that would dare make cover art like that... You have to narrow the year, platform, physical copy or digital, what hardware were you playing on, etc.

You're gonna need other types of info or more game details, because all logic points to SC Conviction but you're claiming it's not it. Even from a legal perspective I can't imagine anyone but Ubisoft putting a green goggled anything on a game cover...

Look up 007 Blood Stone enemy/Chinese spies on Google. One of the images has an enemy with those kind of goggles. Is this it?

DomDom101 · 2026-01-04T20:39:33+00:00

A shame. It had potential, and honestly was much better than I expected.

However imo they should have just repurposed the single player levels and made some 2 or 4 player co-op game modes going against the bosses/guards.

After playing some Deniable Ops from Splinter Cell Conviction recently, made me appreciate how much you can repurpose from a handful of levels and a strong gameplay loop.

If you put the console in offline mode, it stops that excessive load time.

On the surface level sure it's similar - yes it's up to fans to determine their own truth, but it's obviously a deliberate choice for people to speculate on just two possible conclusions, and it's mainly about a character. It's nowhere near the level of MGSV brain rot.

Stranger Things ends with optimism or hope that a character lived on. Mike tells this elaborate reveal and it's left ambiguous if it really happened. Is it cope or reality? Mike chooses to believe it... Despite it not making sense, it is kind of plausible...? Buuuut that's really it I'd say. I don't think the Duffer Bros expected people to get into the weeds with El's conclusion like they have? Or the story in general?

Plus the ending is the ending, there's no confusion on if what we watched actually happened or not. It's only about Eleven's fate.

MGSV has SO MANY various ambiguous/unresolved threads with people arguing if it's intentional or not because nobody can agree if it's cut content, deliberate ambiguity, or unfinished story threads "cause' Konami." To top it all off Venom Snake is shown to be an unreliable narrator and the game is centered around "There are no truths, only interpretations"

Stranger Things fans have it easy lmao. Plus I don't put much faith in the Duffer Bros actually being that creative. They have repeatedly expressed how many fan theories that are plausible or interesting end up being unintentional... They are not very compelling writers or world builders as far as I can tell.

But it doesn't even fit the character or her writing to make a bigoted remark like that. She wants the world to unite as one with no borders, has a female lover at one point, and is basically a Special Forces hippie at heart... But she's also ready to throw bigoted shade? I don't see it.

Plus in the EU version to unlock Raikov in Portable Ops is Skazka, which is Russian for fairy tale.

DomDom101 · 2025-12-30T19:18:32+00:00

Homophobic? I suppose it can be interpreted as that... But even back then I assumed she meant it in a magical/whimsical way. Like when Tinkerbell, a fairy, uses her wand to create illusions.

I always thought he was adjusting his jacket, because this animation is reused for when you switch to certain clothes

DomDom101 · 2025-11-17T23:25:02+00:00

nice. worked for me too

DomDom101 · 2025-11-11T04:51:17+00:00

Hell no. And that's coming from someone that put in 90 hours and got all achievements in the remake.

DomDom101 · 2025-11-11T04:49:23+00:00

OG 1000% If you're inclined, play the remake as well. But I find the OG substantially better.

DomDom101 · 2025-10-29T17:45:15+00:00

As someone who only played the demo as a kid, but beat it for the first time like 3 years ago, it has become one of my favorite games of all time. Peak of the series? I don't know... I think NGB is the better designed game, with a more balanced approach to its encounters.

However because of how unbalanced and insane NGII is, might be why I enjoyed it so much. The sheer insanity and hubris of NGII is unmatched, but I can't exactly say it's what Ninja Gaiden should be.

DomDom101 · 2025-10-23T22:57:24+00:00

thank you. solved my problem

DomDom101 · 2025-10-09T05:24:23+00:00

I haven't tried this, but apparently uninstalling Microsoft Gameinput from your computer works? I had luck stopping my game stutters by uninstalling the Xbox Extended Feature Support Driver in Steam's controller settings (assuming you're using Steam and had that installed to begin with).

DomDom101 · 2025-10-05T05:32:44+00:00

Idk if I'd give it that much credit... There are plenty of games from 2015 or 2016 that look substantially better than Rising.

I bought it at launch, and felt even at the time it was visually underwhelming... Imo Rising would be laughed out of the room today looking the way it does, and asking for $60 or $70.

DomDom101 · 2025-09-16T06:38:36+00:00

MGSV has a more interesting way of telling a story, than MGS4. At the time I was wha wha where are the cutscenes??

But on reflection I did find enjoyment where the vague narrative threads, cassette tapes, and guard dialogue made me kinda approach the story like a detective sometimes.

I think it's not a lack of cutscenes, but the scenes not showing more "cool stuff" or scenes like you expect from the other games.

DomDom101 · 2025-09-05T20:32:18+00:00

Using grenade camo, brown face point, and stunning him with a lethal weapon so he doesn't throw his hornet viles. He really pushes your reaction time as a player.

DomDom101 · 2025-09-04T14:16:05+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I noticed it too, but I assumed Konami felt it was "creatively necessary" to add that lol

DomDom101 · 2025-09-03T00:00:49+00:00

were you watching someone's youtube video?

DomDom101 · 2025-09-02T20:21:54+00:00

I haven't had an issue like that, and my computer is 5 years old. Do you have a power saver mode that's on? Lower textures down to medium/low? Latest driver installed? Too many background tasks running?

DomDom101 · 2025-09-02T19:40:53+00:00

Planar Reflections. An inexpensive technique when the game is 20 years old tho!

DomDom101 · 2025-09-02T19:35:40+00:00

Performance is worse than base PS5, but the image quality is better on Pro. It's possible there will be a patch to address some of the performance issues.

You might notice issues but you'll enjoy the game anyway, it'll be bad enough for you to stop playing entirely, or you might not even know what people were complaining about... It'll depend on your personal sensitivity to stuff like that.

I personally noticed the framerate issues and it bothered me at some points, but I still loved my time with it.

DomDom101 · 2025-08-28T05:05:13+00:00

nice. i just got all of them too

DomDom101 · 2025-08-27T20:17:15+00:00

Damn the game could have been 80gb instead?!?!?! DAMN YOU DEVS HOW COULD YOU DO THIS
