    Yeah but the issue here is that 80% of those lemons are already dry!

    Ditto, I got so tired of hearing complaints from players that refused to listen to advice on how to adapt and play the game not only with better tactics but also work around it's quirks, that I started my own free lemonade stand via my guide on how to beat the game on Extreme with no HUD or Upgrades. And from the sound of the comments, many found it useful.

    Then again, some insist on making lemons of even free lemonade, go figure.

    Therefore please excuse me when I sound snarky and ultimately sarcastic and blunt when I post.

    Just like several months ago when there were some people popping up complaining solely for the sake of whining and didn't take in any experienced tips.

    It's tiring to see stupid and unreasonable people.

    Tru dat! It's one of the reasons I don't spend as much time here anymore, but the main one being I've pretty much done all I wanted to do in the game.

    Now where's my Splinter Cell Ubi?

    Some will focus on the small percentage of the game that is lacking or not to their taste and make it 100% of their focus. It is apophenia in the form of confirmation bias.

    @Frag, yes I do really like Splinter Cell, and after a dip in interest for Double Agent and Conviction I found Blacklist on the highest difficulty really rewarding. However, the game did not sell as well as Ubisoft hoped, hence the delay.

    Remember when people were complaining about Mitchell's inconsistent rank? Why does nobody complain that 60+ year old Sam should be retired by now? lol

    Irony.

    Everyone does that on this forum, some people complain for the sake of doing it (just like Kane said), others do it right and others suck up and defend everything no matter how bad it is. Everyone on all of those three sides are doing it because of it not being up or being to their standards.

    It can go both ways Blue, the game has BIG faults and acting like “oh but those are small details and complains are there just because is not up of their taste” is stupid. If you enjoy the game like it is, fine, good for you but others do not want Ghost Recon on lazy mode, just like Wildlands ended up being.

    Because Keanu Reeves, I mean Fisher (in 2019 when Wildlands takes place) is 62 years old and that’s not bad but there’s going to be a point on which another Splinter Cell maybe not in SC7 but on SC8 is going to take care of stuff, if we get to SC8 LOL as SC7 may be the last one who knows, replacing a character like Fisher can be complicated, I just hope we don’t end up with Briggs, I hate that guy.

    I believe most people are with the belly full, what do i mean with that? you eat like a beast, after your belly is full and you can't eat anymore you start complaining about the food quality or to be salty, or hot etc etc, but dude you just eat like 5 plates without complaining!!! , this make sense ?

    Then you have the other people, something new come out and run to the store and buy it, please, don't do a research of what is wrong with that item before buying (you know something is going to be wrong), then come here complaining about all the problems that the item have, anyways, game is broken and all you want to call it, i still enjoying every time i play it (yes with all the problems, glitches, etc etc), for the money i spent in the game is already paid for the long fun hours i played solo and with friends and will keep playing it.

    PS: this is my point of view, doesn't have to be yours
