Is this a good port?

[Claire Higsby IRL]

I'm skeptical about buying this game on PC after Ubisoft's terrible job with their port of AC3. Can anyone tell me if it'll run well when I have an AMD APU? A10-5800K in particular.

I've played a lot of PC games from Ubi and I can easily say that this is far and above the most unstable game they've ever released. I rock an i7 920, but framerate will be the least of your concerns. If you get this game, wait til it's like $10. You'll be ripped off if you buy any higher than that.

[DEADZERO]

That's not true. I haven't ha any problems playing this! It doesn't crash at all anymore! Only bugs that exsist is floating guns after you knife someone in online, to her than that, great game! The game is very stable for me and I have an Alienware X51 R2 with an i7 3.4ghz 660gtx and 8gb of ram on windows 7. This game is solid right now!!

[Claire Higsby IRL]

Aegis, what GPU do you have?

[DEADZERO]

I also have the game maxed out.

[Aegis Kleais™]

GTX570. But to prove how much graphics don't make the game, I JUST unisntalled the game (in sheer DISGUST at what SvM turned into). I might have put maybe 35 hours into it. I've been L56 for a while, and this games MISERABLE hitboxes are but one of what must easily be over 100 bugs that I'm just done putting up with.

The only entertainment I got was from envisioning the enemies in the Singleplayer missions and Co-Op as being real life Ubisoft employees. I'd then set Sam to Lethal and make sure each and every one of my kills involved an up-close knife kill.

I think THAT alone was the reason why I give the game a 40/100 instead of a 0/100. I wish I could sell the game to recoup these losses. Hell, if Valve let me give my game away, I'd let anyone who wanted this bloated piece of garbage have it.

May every dev in Ubisoft rot in hell. No more Ubisoft titles for me, ever. Watch Dogs, forget it, Division, forget it. South Park, forget it. I'm tired of being duped by what might just be the single worst PC developer known to mankind.

If you hate the game that much Aegis, why are you hanging around these forums 24/7? That said, you are right about the MP hitboxes. I've lost count of how many times my character is fully around a corner in complete cover, and yet I still take numerous bullets, and die.

OP.. If you want to buy this game for singleplayer then go ahead, but play it on perfectionist mode and take your time, it's quite enjoyable. Multiplayer on the other hand is a bit of a joke. It's pretty much turned into nothing more than spies running around in full sprint with cloak on and mashing 'e' for kills.

How come I can't help people just because I hate the game? Those 2 things are not mutually exclusive.

No graphical problems at all on an AMD 6 core and Radeon 7870.

As for bugs, I only had one where was stuck in a box and had to restart the checkpoint.

My issues are more that Sam Fisher doesn't seem like Sam Fisher--voice change aside. He could be any old special-ops guy

Ubisoft is not the worst developer, EA is by far the worst in existence. EA is a cash grab with endless DLC but ubisoft just tries to deliver good quality games, admittedly PC is not their main focus because of piracy. They can't stop it so why put so much effort into it as they would in the ps3 version? The rivalry between console and pc gamers is stupid. I have a PS3 (soon PS4) and a reasonably capable PC for games, particular games are better played on particular systems. Shooters, PC, racing, PC, action/adventure console, mmo PC, open world both PC and Console. (GTA for consoles and Skyrim type open world for pc)

[Icysoft]

Works fine here, maxed out on win 8,I7,16gb,gtx690. Very stable, enjoying the game!

[The Beatles]

I've had absolutely no problems since release. It is just as stable as Farcry 3!

[R-Tillery]

The problem is between Steam and UBIsoft working together. Friends can’t play with one another and not a patch yet to fix it.

To prove that Aegis is a moron, Conviction ran like garbage on my same exact hardware (even with graphics options on all low/disabled), and Blacklist runs at least 100x better.

CPU: i5 3570k
GPU: AMD HD 5570
Resolution: 1280x720, 60Hz

In-game Options
Texture Detail: Ultra
Shadow Quality: Medium
Parallax: Off
Tesselation: Off/Disabled
Texture Filtering: Anisotropic 16x
V-Sync: Off
Dynamic AO: Field AO
Anti-Aliasing: FXAA
DirectX: DX9

Getting 40/50 FPS average, only time I notice major lag is on some area of the Paladin, but that's mostly due to horizontal tearing since I have v-sync disabled. The problem with Blacklist is the DX11 features are horridly optimized. Running in DX9 works flawlessly.

Oh, and in my opinion this is probably the best Splinter Cell since Chaos Theory.

Edit
Oh, and scoring a perfectly fine game with a terrible underdeveloped multiplayer extension solely on the terrible underdeveloped multiplayer extension is probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Aegis, go away.

To prove that Muffy is a dumbf*ck, you just gotta read his post.

You're a complete idiot if you think that because a game runs fine on your machine, it must run likewise on the near billion plus different configuration of PCs out there. Idiot.

Any other gems of imbecil-ery you want to let loose on the world?

I am running the game on GTX570 (TwinFrozr III) with absolutely no issues. Not only that but I haven't encountered a single crash or anything that might seem like out of the order in the game.

As for the game itself playing it on Pereftionist is the way its meant to be played. Combine it with Ghost style and you get some really challenging missions full of adrenaline bursts. This might not sit well with some og the Splinter Cell fans (though I am a huge fan too) but I dare say Blacklist is even better than Chaos Theory in some aspects.

A really enjoyable game well woth the money with only one shortcoming - bad controls and innability to separate Use and Melee attack keys which really can lead to some frustratign situations on Perfectionist difficulty.
